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. Non-Competing Presentations All students who wish to present during Campus Research Day, but not to compete for the scholarships,
are welcome to submit a presentation proposal for inclusion in the program. All such students who get professor approval will be included in the program, provided they register by the deadline, February 14, 2022. Poster Session The poster session will be held from 2 - 3:15 p.m. A poster session competition will take place for those who would like to compete. Registration for the poster session is due by February 14, 2022.
