Performance Presentations

UURAF 2026 will be a hybrid event consisting of multiple presentation formats. UURAF is a public event. Do not share confidential information in your abstract or presentation.

Performance demonstrations allow students to present their scholarship through the production or performance of artistic work such as dance, music, or theater. Every reasonable effort will be made to preserve the integrity of each performance.
