Research Symposium – Call for Proposals/Abstracts

This year’s Research Symposium will be a combined event with the College of Communications and Information Studies. It will give us the opportunity to contribute our research and scholarship and to see what other students in the College are also working on.

Here’s why you should consider presenting a poster at this event:

- It’s a wonderful way to get some experience presenting without having to worry about being too intimidated. Everyone is invited to submit and we will do our best to help you feel prepared to present (and hopefully even enjoy it).
- You can use research projects you have already worked on or are currently working on. This includes class projects, research papers you have written, work-related research or just something you’d like to explore further and share with everyone. Any of these can be used as the basic concept for your poster.
- It’s a great line for your resume!
- Faculty and students from our School and from the College will be there to support you and ask questions.
- We will be offering online materials and a face-to-face “How to” session on creating an effective poster.

The date for this event is tentatively set for mid-February. We wanted to send a call for proposals now so that you can begin preparing and thinking about what you would like to present.

Abstracts/Proposals should be approximately 150 words and should briefly describe what you will be presenting in your poster. Abstracts/Proposals should be sent to Jen Green (jennifer.n.green@uky.edu) by Friday, February 5th. We will send reminders at the beginning of next semester. Please let us know if you have questions about the abstract or the poster. More details will be sent out about the date and time of the How-To Session. We look forward to seeing and hearing about your research!
