The Senate of College Councils and the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Studies will host Undergraduate Research Week this April 16-20, 2012. Colleges and organizations, including the College of Liberal Arts, will coordinate events all over campus that week to showcase the work of undergraduate researchers.
Liberal Arts will host two events for Undergraduate Research Week: a poster presentation reception and an oral presentation symposium. If you are an undergraduate researcher and you wish to use these venues to publicize your work, you can apply to participate in one or both events.
Undergraduate researchers create a visual presentation of their research. The posters should communicate
The poster may contain images, articles, photos, graphs, documents, or anything that clearly and quickly communicates important information about the research.
The posters will be professionally printed, courtesy of the college, and are presented at the Honors Day reception on Saturday, April 14, from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. at the Student Activity Center Ballroom. Students who create posters are expected to attend the reception and stay with their poster to discuss their research with guests. Applications are now closed.
Undergraduate researchers prepare a 10-minute presentation of their research that will be presented in a forum-like setting amongst peers and guests. After each presentation, there will be five minutes allotted for questions and discussion. Researchers are encouraged to use PowerPoint in their presentations.
The presentations will be held on Wednesday, April 18, and Thursday, April 19, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Gebauer Building. Presentations will be scheduled on an individual basis to best suit the event and the undergraduate researcher. Applications are now closed.
