2011 Research Fair

The 2011 Graduate Student Poster Session, a celebration highlighting graduate student research and creative activity, was held on April 13, 2011 as part of the campus-wide 2011 UNL Research Fair. The purpose of this yearly event is to give students the opportunity to showcase their research or creative activity; to communicate their results to other students, faculty and staff; and to learn about other areas of research and creative activity. The event is sponsored by the Office of Research and Economic Development, Office of Graduate Studies, and the Nebraska Chapter of Sigma Xi. 2011 Energy Sciences Poster Session
