The 2018 UNL Spring Research Fair featured more than 250 undergraduate research posters, six undergraduate creative exhibits and more than 150 graduate research posters on April 10-11 in the Nebraska Union. More than 400 students participated over the course of the two-day fair.
To recognize students’ creative and scholarly achievements and accomplishments, prizes were awarded to the top undergraduate and graduate posters and exhibits.
The undergraduate competition involved 96 reviewers and the graduate competition involved more than 30 reviewers who rated student posters on the basis of their research scholarship. Undergraduate students were also rated on their presentation skills at the Research Fair.
The top graduate posters, representing 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.
The top undergraduate posters will receive a $250 award sponsored by their college.
Michael True, senior, fisheries and wildlife, was named an undergraduate competition winner for his poster: “Distribution and Disease: Assessing Red Fox Using Linear Transects,” under Elizabeth VanWormer, Nebraska One Health coordinator at SNR.
