Virtual All-University Sing
|
Presented by the Department of Student Activities, All-University Sing has been a tradition at Baylor University since 1953. Student organizations perform 7-minute, broadway-style productions in competition with one another. While Sing is widely renowned for its spectacle, the process of producing Sing and creating a Sing act makes for a most unique educational experience.
Click here to purchase virtual tickets to All-University Sing. This streamed version of All-University Sing will be availble live on Saturday, February 28th at 6:30pm, and you can purchase tickets up until 5pm the same day.

Sharon is a radiology educator and clinical leader whose work explores how artificial intelligence can enhance medical imaging education. Currently, she works as a CT Supervisor at Duke University Hospital Medical Center. As an Ed.D student in Learning and Organizational Change, she studies how prepared imaging educators are to use and teach AI‑supported imaging, focusing on how teaching experience and educational level shapes that readiness. Using a quantitative approach grounded in the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), her research highlights the individual and organizational factors that influence AI adoption in JRCERT‑accredited programs. Her goal is to support stronger faculty development, smarter curriculum design, and institutional strategies that keep imaging education aligned with rapidly evolving AI‑driven clinical practice.
Her work strengthens the university's effort to integrate academic excellence within a caring community!
