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.
Poster presentations will be judged by a faculty panel and cash awards will be presented to the top two presenters during the virtual Graduate Research Symposium Awards Ceremony on Friday, March 26 at 11:30am.
Poster Judges:
Morgan Kennedy
Claire Wofford
