Present at Showcase Day
Showcase Day is a University-wide event designed to highlight student excellence. It will be formatted similarly to a department symposium or school/college research showcase.
Graduate and undergraduate students will have several options to present their work, including:
-
Poster presentations
-
Panel or oral presentations
-
Lab or other research demonstrations
-
Creative exhibitions or performances
Students who are working with a faculty member on a project — as part of a class, lab group, research or creative team, or in a department-sponsored event — are eligible to present individually or in a group.
Presentations will represent the culmination of extended research or creative effort. You’ll learn how to explain your research and demonstrate your achievements to a wide audience — an experience you can add to your resume.
Design Your Poster & Print It for Free
If you’ve been selected to present, you’ll receive instructions for free poster printing via email. The deadline to your poster for free printing is April 14.
Posters should be 48 inches wide by 36 inches tall to fit on the provided poster boards. You can use these sample poster templates to create your poster.
