CSU Digital hosted its 2024 fall Student Showcase Dec. 3 in the Student Center Atrium, featuring a wide range of digital, multimedia and multimodal works from various departments across campus.

Creators used slides, videos, ebooks, infographics and other interactive forms of multimedia to showcase their work and make it accessible to a general audience of students, staff and faculty.

Examples from the showcase included presentations by students from the chemistry department which highlighted problems and solutions with plastic pollution, and ways to reimagine the urban ecosystem. Other projects addressed topics such as the decline in popularity of K-Dramas and the importance of Palestinian human rights.

“I usually try to cover stories for people who are suppressed and can’t tell the story themselves so I usually become that voice for them,” said Ruby Darwish, President of Students for Justice in Palestine. “I attend and organize protests such as the videos I presented for the showcase.”

Presentations such as Darwish’s highlighted how the showcase can inform students about problems that they can help prevent or educate others about, whether a social, environmental or other issue. 

Another standout project, presented by Nic Dawg and Julia Urban, highlighted the potential for increased local food production in Cleveland.

“There are about 30,000 unused lots in Cleveland and 80% of those don’t have trees or any productive land,” Dawg explained. “It’s a lot of land that can be used to have more natural plants so we can have natural filtration”

The showcase served as both a platform for innovation and a call to action, inspiring attendees to think critically about pressing challenges in Cleveland and to explore creative solutions.

The next digital student showcase will be presented in the spring 2025 semester although a date has not been announced. See the Digital CSU website for any questions or updates.
