Student attendance and participation
Students are welcome to register for any part of the day’s events.
From 4:00 – 6:00 pm at the March 30 event, undergraduate and graduate students can showcase their related research in the Student Symposium. Those wishing to participate should register below by March 13, complete the information requested for your poster, and then work to prepare two items:
- A poster summarizing your research (40 inches by 60 inches max, portrait or landscape), to be presented during the poster session in the Eck Visitors Center Foyer.
- A one-minute, one-slide preview (highlight) of your poster, to be given in the Eck Visitors Center Auditorium prior to the start of the poster session. This is your chance to pique the interest of the judges to visit your poster.
The Student Symposium is open to undergraduate and graduate students conducting research in engineering, biochemistry, psychology, neuroscience, neurodegenerative diseases, nanobio and related fields. Awards for the best posters will be announced at 5:45 pm.
Interactive webinar
The morning and afternoon technical sessions and panel discussion will be available via interactive webinar. When registering (link below), check the appropriate box to indicate your interest in participating remotely. A link to the Zoom meeting will be sent to you 1-2 days before the event.
