Publishing & Presenting Student Work

Communicating your findings to others is a crucial and exciting aspect of research. Undergraduate researchers often present their work in one of the following ways:

• Scholarly poster presented at a conference/symposium
• Oral presentation given at a conference/symposium
• Research paper published in a journal

There are opportunities to present your work both on-campus and at the regional or national level. When exploring possibilities, a valuable resource is your faculty supervisor. Ask if there are regional or national conferences or other venues specific to your discipline where you might be able to present your work. Also, make sure to talk to your professors and departmental academic advisors about opportunities in your college or school.
