Research Expo

This annual Expo provides undergraduate students, graduate students and postdoctoral scholars with the opportunity to share their research with a larger audience -- those not in the same areas of professional interest.

The Expo's purpose is to communicate the value of science to a general audience in terms that the public can understand, and to those in other areas of professional interest.

Please note the changes to the Research Expo that are implemented this year:
1) postdoctoral scholars are now able to submit abstracts
2) number of posters is limited to 100 - notifications emails whether or not submitted abstracts are accepted will be sent early March.

Eligible to submit abstracts are:

1. Undergraduate advised by a faculty member(s) in the College of Agricultural Sciences; or
2. Graduate students advised by a faculty member(s) in the College of Agricultural Sciences; or
3. Postdoctoral scholars working in a department in the College of Agricultural Sciences

Over $7,000 in prize monies will be awarded. All 2025 award winners and new members will be recognized at the Celebration of Excellence on Thursday, April 3, 2025.

Abstract submission period: February 1 - 21, 2025. Please review the Participant Guidelines before submitting an abstract!
