2024 Conference Series Join us for our 2024 Conference Series where we share details on communicating your research at a conference. Our first session will focus on creating a research poster followed by a second session detailing what is needed for an oral presentation. In preparation for our annual Undergraduate Research Symposium on April 26th, an all-day celebration of research in The College, we will host several practice sessions for both poster and oral presenters.

Presentation Practice and Workshops: Once finished, or in the final stages, join us to practice communicating your research for our symposium and future conferences. These sessions will allow students a chance to practice shortened versions of their papers and/or research poster pitches. For the poster session specifically, come with your final poster or at least your last-minute questions to finalize printing in time for the symposium on April 26th.
