This year, the event will happen in a new virtual format and under a new name: Winter Fest.<\/p>\n<p>Beginning Feb. 5, students, faculty, and staff can sign into Moodle to view posters and artwork and watch oral presentations and panel discussions from 85 participating students. Like the on-campus, in-person event, attendees will be able to ask questions in the online format, which can be accessed at <a href=\"http:\/\/clarku.edu\/winter-fest\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">clarku.edu\/winter-fest<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We moved Fall Fest to the winter intersession and called it Winter Fest because our very atypical fall semester threw student progress on research into flux,&rdquo; says Associate Provost and Dean of the College <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.clarku.edu\/faculty\/facultybio.cfm?id=456&amp;progid=40\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"Betsy Huang bio\">Betsy Huang<\/a>. &ldquo;Everyone felt that given the fact that we had this extended winter break, there would be more bandwidth for students to put together solid presentations. It&rsquo;s also a great engagement opportunity for other students during break to come and see what their classmates are working on.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Posters and presentations on display during Winter Fest will represent the wide range of academics at Clark &mdash; from political science research to studio art projects and beyond. Students will showcase 45 posters and 19 pre-recorded or live Zoom presentations during the event.<\/p>\n<p>Huang commended participants for their resilience this year while recognizing how difficult it has been for many to persist during an incredibly challenging time. &ldquo;We want to showcase projects that testify to the excellence of our students&rsquo; research and creativity, but at the same time, we are aware there were setbacks that were very difficult for some students to overcome,&rdquo; she says. &ldquo;We want to be equally mindful of projects that were not able to be completed and to acknowledge that work has been done there.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Winter Fest is sponsored by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/offices\/dean-of-the-college\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener
