The 2018 UNL Spring Graduate Research and Creative Activities Poster Session featured over 150 graduate research posters from across the University.
The poster competition involved over 40 faculty and postdoc reviewers who rated student posters on the basis of their research scholarship. The top posters, representing student work and research from the Arts and Humanities, Education, Engineering, Physical Sciences, Agricultural and Life Sciences, and Social Sciences, will receive a $400 travel grant to present their research at a regional or national conference.
On behalf of the Office of Research and Economic Development and the Office of Graduate Studies, congratulations to our winners:
