Mark your calendars and get ready to learn. The McQueary College of Health and Human Services (MCHHS) is gearing up for its 28th Annual Student Research Symposium.
Scheduled for 3-5 p.m. April 26 in the Plaster Student Union Grand Ballroom, this event promises to be a showcase of scholarly excellence from our students. The symposium will feature innovative projects of both graduate and undergraduate students in the college.
Promoting scholarly endeavors
The symposium serves as a platform for students to present projects they have diligently researched over the past year. From groundbreaking discoveries to insightful analyses, the symposium will reveal the diverse research endeavors taken by students across various programs.
Guidelines for presentations
Participating students can kickstart their journey by submitting abstracts starting Feb. 12 through Qualtrics. With a submission deadline of March 18, students are encouraged to craft concise abstracts, adhering to a 1,250-character limit.
For those opting to present their research through posters, attention to detail is vital. Posters must fit within a 4’ x 6’ space on a poster board, with the standard size recommended at 56” x 42”.
To assist students in creating posters, templates and tutorials are available on the MCHHS RStats page. These resources elevate the visual storytelling aspect of student research.
Bringing ideas to life
To ensure student posters receive the attention they deserve, the MCHHS technology office (KMPT 440) offers printing services. Students can submit their posters for printing through the MCHHS poster printing request form.
It is crucial to adhere to the submission deadline, as posters submitted after 5 p.m. April 17 may not be guaranteed for printing. Once ready, students will be notified to collect their printed posters from the technology office.
Celebrating academic ingenuity
The 28th Annual MCHHS Student Research Symposium is more than just an event; it is a celebration of academic ingenuity and scholarly pursuit.
As students prepare to showcase their research, the symposium stands as a testament to the college’s commitment to fostering a culture of innovation. So mark your calendars, submit your abstracts and join us in applauding the next generation of research trailblazers at the symposium.
