Summer Research Poster Session – Please share details with students

October 16, 2020

The Office of Undergraduate Scholarly Engagement will host the University’s annual Summer Research Poster Session virtually on Wednesday, November 18 from 9:15am-3:35pm. The goals of the Summer Research Poster Session are twofold: to celebrate undergraduate research conducted by UP students during the summer, and to create awareness of research experiences that other students might be interested to explore.

All current students who participated in a research experience on or off campus Summer 2020 are invited to apply to participate. Participants must be able to produce a poster that is of the quality and style of those seen at professional conferences in their discipline. The poster session will use VirtualPosterSession.org software.

Participant will be required to:

Submit a high-quality PDF of your poster to scholars@up.edu by Monday, November 9 at 10:00am.
Be available to speak with session attendees for at least one time block; see the application for time blocks.
People who desire to participate but who are unavailable during the identified time blocks should contact Michele Leasor (leasor@up.edu).
Provide a Zoom meeting link where event attendees can live video conference you during the Poster Session. This link must be sent by Monday, November 9, at 10:00 a.m.
