- Student Research Days
Registration is open for Student Research Days, set for April 11-15. The annual event showcases research and creative accomplishments by Nebraska graduate and undergraduate students.
The undergraduate and graduate student poster session and creative exhibition will be held April 11-12 in the Nebraska Union. March 11 is the deadline for students to register a poster or creative project. Students from all majors and disciplines are encouraged to participate. Graduate and undergraduate students in engineering and physical sciences will present April 11. All other disciplines will present April 12. Top presenters will be awarded $400.
Faculty, staff and graduate students are sought to help judge students’ posters. Providing constructive feedback on research posters is a concrete way to help mentor the next generation of scholars. Complete this form to register as a poster session reviewer. Faculty, staff and graduate and undergraduate students are also needed to help with event setup and cleanup. If interested, sign up for a time slot.

This year also marks the first-ever Student Research Days Slam. In this campus-wide contest, graduate and undergraduate students from all disciplines are challenged to present their work in short, engaging presentations.
The theme for this year’s Student Research Days Slam is: What skill or ability have you developed through your research experience or creative activity that you think would make the world better if everyone had it?
Applicants must submit a 90-second video application via Flipgrid answering this question by March 28. Five finalists will be selected to present at the Slam, which will be held at the Wick Alumni Center on April 13, 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. A winner, to be decided by the audience, will receive a $500 prize, and the other finalists will each receive $100. Attendees must register to attend the event. Faculty and staff are encouraged to attend to support these scholars.
