poster session

Campus-wide student poster sessions will be held Friday, May 1, as part of ßÙßÇÂþ»­ Research Days 2026. Undergraduate and graduate students from any discipline are invited to present work conducted with a ßÙßÇÂþ»­ faculty mentor. 

At ßÙßÇÂþ»­, we define undergraduate research as a mentor-supported inquiry, creative activity or scholarly investigation conducted by an undergraduate student that makes an original intellectual or creative contribution to the discipline. Original can be defined as a meaningful contribution by the student; it should be entirely or partially novel; it may reveal more questions than answers.

The call for abstracts will be available in January. We anticipate that March 20 will be the abstract deadline and that poster PDFs will be due by April 15 for students who wish to take advantage of free printing. 

Posters for this program should be 48 inches wide and 36 inches high and must include the current campus logo as well as sufficient margins for printing. Here are several recommended poster templates:
