About the Event
The TCVPA Annual Colloquium serves as an awards ceremony in which recipients of Research and Creative Activity Awards (RCAA) are announced. Recipients from past years provide presentations on their projects to share how the RCAA funding supports them.
TCVPA Faculty Research Videos
TCVPA Faculty Research Videos feature faculty members sharing the stories behind their research and the outcomes that have emerged from their creative and scholarly efforts. These short videos provide insight into the diverse and impactful work happening across Art, Music, Theatre, Dance, and Interdisciplinary Arts. Our vision is for these videos to spark inspiration—for faculty to continue their research and community engagement efforts, to feel recognized through this platform that highlights their work, and to encourage even more faculty to dive into their creativity.
We invite you to explore the current collection of videos and we look forward to continuing
this tradition each year as we celebrate the innovation and passion that define the
TCVPA community.
