UW-Eau Claire's annual Celebration of Excellence in Research and Creative Activity (CERCA) gives undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to present the results of their research and creative activity. The event highlights student research accomplishments and contributions to the academic community.
University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire faculty and staff are deeply involved in scholarly research and creative activity. Despite heavy demands in teaching, advising, and service within and beyond the university, they persist in scholarly engagement. The Celebration of Scholarship (formerly the Authors Celebration), which was first held in 2006, honors the scholarly output of faculty and staff at UW-Eau Claire by featuring a select number of scholars with major scholarly achievements as well as grants seekers and sabbatical recipients.
To see a more complete listing of UW-Eau Claire faculty, staff, and student publications, presentations, exhibitions and other scholarly achievements, please go to the Report on Scholarly Achievements archive.
The next Celebration of Scholarship is Monday, October 19, 2026, 4:30-6:00 in the Ojibwe Ballroom, Davies Center.
