EEB Undergraduate Poster Session
The Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology hosts an annual Poster Session in April of each year. Participating students are EEB or Biology majors or minors, or are conducting research with a faculty member in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. Both beginner and advanced categories are represented, and there are awards given to the top-placing posters in both divisions.
The Goals of the Undergraduate Poster Session and Contest:
- Highlight Departmental research opportunities for undergraduates through a poster session
- Provide a forum to showcase the research projects conducted by our undergraduates
- Provide undergraduates with an opportunity to acquire tools necessary to be successful in post-graduate studies (creating and presenting a scientific research poster)
- Facilitate interaction between undergraduate students and faculty
Who Can Present?
- To enter a poster in the poster session you must be a declared EEB or Biology major or minor OR be conducting research with a faculty member in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology.
- All levels of research involvement are encouraged to participate (beginner through advanced).
- Biology, Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, and Bioinformatics majors earning directed research (i.e. graded) units are expected to present at our poster fair.
