On April 11-12, 2022, the Office of Research and Economic Development and Office of Graduate Studies sponsored two poster sessions for students to present their work. About 100 graduate students presented their work. As part of this event, students competed in a poster competition and top presenters earned $400 travel grants/awards to support their research work. Over 35 faculty and postdocs helped judge the posters.

Thank you to everyone who came out to see the fantastic research work being done by graduate student researchers!

Congratulations to all! We enjoyed seeing all of your work!
