Ericka Olguin, director of Innovation Incubator, shared the importance of the event, emphasizing the value of community involvement.
“The PolyX Showcase is a culmination of months of hard work, creativity, and dedication,” Olguin said. “It’s an opportunity for the campus community to witness firsthand the innovative projects our students have been working on and how they are applying their classroom knowledge to real-world problems. I encourage everyone to come out, engage with the students, and celebrate their achievements. Your support is invaluable to their success.”
In addition to showcasing student talent, the event serves as a key networking opportunity. Students will have the chance to connect with the CPP community members, creating meaningful connections that can propel their careers forward.
