Join us for an Undergraduate Research Poster Session celebrating the exciting research and research experiences of undergraduate students across our region. This event provides an opportunity for students to share their work, practice communicating their experiences, and connect with faculty, graduate students, and fellow undergraduates.  

We invite undergraduate researchers to present a poster individually or alongside a graduate student mentor/research partner. Projects at all stages are welcome, and students do not need to have previously presented their work.

We also welcome students who would like to present more broadly about their summer research experience, including how they found the opportunity, where they worked, what they did, and what they learned from the experience. This option is particularly appropriate for students who may not be able to share specific research results.

Whether you are presenting or simply interested in learning more about undergraduate research opportunities, we hope you’ll join us to celebrate undergraduate research and enjoy food and conversation.

There is no cost to attend the event.  An RSVP is appreciated, but not required.
