The Summer University Executive Committee is seeking presentation proposals for the 2026 Summer University workshops that will take place on Tuesday, May 12, 2026. The conference’s theme will be Cultivating Curiosity, Creativity, and Connection and will include free food, swag, service projects, activities, keynote speakers, and breakout sessions.
As part of our goal to provide a space for personal and professional development, UVU employees will deliver numerous workshops. These workshops can range from professional topics (such as using AI) to personal topics (such as gardening) and everything in between!
If you are interested in presenting one of these 50-minute workshops, please submit a call for proposals. All presenters must submit a proposal, and priority will be given to those whose topic aligns with the conference theme. Those selected as presenters will be notified in the first week of April. Registration for the event will be sent out in mid-April.
Deadline for submissions is March 20, 2026
