Undergraduate Scholarly Showcase

The Undergraduate Scholarly Showcase is an annual event where students from across the university communicate original research and scholarly work. The Showcase is an important professional development opportunity for undergraduate students and is commonly used to satisfy course and capstone requirements.

The 2025 Showcase will feature poster presentations on Thursday, April 24, and Friday, April 25. There will be no podium or virtual presentation options.


Ways to Participate

Presenter registration for the 2025 Showcase is now closed. We cannot take late registrations.

Reviewers provide the constructive feedback that students crave. We aim for each presentation to receive at least two professional reviews and one peer review.

  • Faculty, staff, administrators, graduate students, employer partners and community partners make great professional reviewers.
  • Undergraduate students make great peer reviewers.
  • Subject matter expertise is not necessary.
  • Lunch and parking is provided to in-person reviewers.

Poster Presentations

Using slide software, students create a poster (minimum size 12鈥 x 18鈥, maximum 36" x 48"), have it printed, and bring the printed poster to their assigned poster session.

Up to six students may present the same poster in the same session. Groups larger than six should split into two groups when registering.

Poster presentations will take place in two sessions (10 a.m. to noon and 1 to 3 p.m.) each day on April 24 and 25, 2025, in Tangeman University Center.

Because the Showcase emphasizes giving you practice in cross-disciplinary research communication, your poster and your presentation should be oriented to people outside your field.
