Campus Research Award
The purpose of a poster exhibit is to convey to a wide audience a research project’s significance to scholars in the field and its potential significance to the general public. Posters will be judged on their introduction, methods, results, and conclusions for STEM subjects and their introduction, body, and conclusions for Liberal Arts. The appropriate use of scholarly citations and acknowledgements is important as are photographs, drawings, charts, tables, or graphs that clearly explain concepts. Participants will be asked to verbally explain their posters. Judges will focus on the presenters’ knowledge of the subject, clarity of the presentation, and professionalism.
