Creating and presenting a scholarly poster is a common way for undergraduate researchers to share their work at conferences, symposiums, and other research-related events. Undergraduates can present independent research or, with approval from a faculty supervisor, work done as an assistant on a faculty member’s project.
Creating your poster is a multiple-step process. It’s important to carefully consider each topic below.
This guide was created in collaboration with the College of Natural Sciences Office for Honors, Research, and International Study and the Undergraduate Writing Center.
“I would encourage anyone to take that next step in research by creating a poster to share with others what you have done. No one should think their project is not important enough, or they don’t have enough information. A poster is a way to express one’s curiosities, interests, passions, and hard work.”
