Faculty Poster Presentations
A research poster is a visual representation that showcases scholarly research and/or other creative endeavors. A poster presentation allows researchers 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.
We are excited to host the College of Health & Human Sciences faculty for our first-ever inclusion of faculty poster presentations at this flagship event!
Presenters will be showcasing their work at the Ramsey Center (Concourse Level) from 6pm to 7:00pm on March 19, 2025, during the Undergraduate Research Exposition and Graduate Research Symposium.
