The UNL offices of Undergraduate Research, Graduate Studies, and Research and Economic Development hosted poster sessions March 28-29, 2023 at the Student Research Days. About 130 graduate students and 190 undergraduate students participated in the event.
The poster sessions give students the opportunity to showcase their research or creative work; to communicate their results; and to learn about other areas of research and creative activities. Twenty posters represented research projects funded by the NCESR and were presented by three undergraduate students, 18 graduate students and one postdoc. The competition involved more than 40 faculty and postdoc reviewers who rated student presentations on the basis of their research scholarship and presentation skills.
