Focus on Creative Inquiry Poster Forum

FoCI 2025 - 9, 10, 11 April

The Annual Focus on Creative Inquiry (FoCI) event is Clemson’s university-wide poster forum that showcases undergraduate research, service-learning and other experiential learning activities supported by the CI program. FoCI presentations are targeted at a general audience, allowing presenters the opportunity to communicate their work outside of their disciplinary terminology. Each CI Project should submit one poster that presents the overall work of the project. Abstract Submissions are open 11/18 – 3/7
