Details on how to submit an abstract, details for abstracts and posters, and deadlines/dates.
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.
Undergraduate and graduate students advised by a faculty member(s) and postdoctoral scholars working in a department in the College of Agricultural Sciences are eligible to participate. Over $7,000 in prize monies will be awarded.
