Poster Presentations
A research poster is a visual representation that showcases a student’s scholarly research and/or other creative endeavors. A poster presentation allows students to present their work in a form that the audience can easily view and to stimulate an exchange of ideas related to the research and its findings.
Both in-person and virtual posters are displayed below; in-person presenters will be showcasing their work at the Ramsey Center (Concourse Level) from 6:15 pm to 7:30 pm on March 20, 2023. Poster presentations will be judged by a faculty panel and cash awards will be presented to the top two presenters during the Awards Ceremony at 6:00 pm in the Ramsey Arena.
