Scholarship Competition All students participating in the research competition must have departmental recommendation to enter the competition and present. Professors will be on the lookout for high-quality
papers and will recommend these for inclusion in the Campus Research Day scholarship competition. Each department may recommend up to three students to enter the competition, and nominations must be ranked by the department. The Campus Research Day committee will further refine competition participants as needed by selecting finalists to compete for the scholarships.

are welcome to submit a presentation proposal for inclusion in the program.
