Present at the Honors Research Conference

Submit a proposal to present your best Honors research paper at the annual Honors Research Conference!

Apply to present your best work in poster format at the Honors Student Research Conference. Participants will receive guidance from Honors staff to create their posters and prepare their presentations. Select a paper or research project that you created for an Honors class this year that you are particularly proud of, then create a poster to relay your findings and share what you learned with the Honors community!

This is an amazing opportunity to share your academic work with Honors faculty and students, and participating in a research conference is especially impressive for students planning to attend grad school!
