RETURN OF THE CEAS EXPO
The CEAS Tribunal organizes CEAS EXPO, a showcase of 200+
college senior capstone projects, an event that was revived by
Dean John Weidner in 2022 and is growing each year. Graduating
students present their hard work over the past year, with the
hope of winning prizes and accolades. EXPO relies on donor support and
more than 100 volunteer judges and mentors, comprised of industry
professionals, faculty and alumni. Interested in supporting the annual CEAS
EXPO as a judge, mentor or sponsor? Scan the QR code.
