For Students

What kinds of research are presented at the Conference?

  • We invite research and creative projects from all disciplines. Some students choose to present posters, other oral presentations, some music or art. Capstone projects, theses, and juried art/music projects are good fits for the Conference.

How do I apply to present?

I am still in the early stages of my research. Can I still apply?

  • Yes. You do not need to have completed your research to be considered. Many students present research that is ongoing. It is perfectly acceptable to share preliminary results or anticipated findings at the Conference.

I am an artist/musician. Can I participate in the Conference?

  • Yes, and we are happy to have you!

Can I present two or more research projects at the Conference?

  • You are allowed to present more than one project, though we ask that you not submit more than two, as it can be difficult to organize and schedule for students involved in three or more. Of course, there may be exceptions given your situation, and you are always welcome to contact us to be sure.

Where can I find guidance in building my poster?

  • Please visit this website for various poster templates and guidelines.

 

For Faculty Mentors

I received an email asking me to approve a student's project. What does this mean?

  • We ask that research mentors approve their students’ abstracts. The email should contain a link to our online system where you can read the abstract and give your approval or ask the student to revise. Note that asking for a revision will NOT harm the student’s chances of being accepted to present.

I have concerns about intellectual property and students in my lab submitting their research to ScholarWorks.
