The Rausser College of Natural Resources Office of Instruction and Student Affairs sponsors two poster sessions each year (fall and spring) for undergraduates to present their research to the community. Students completing a Student-Initiated SPUR project are required to participate (unless they are also an Honors Program Student doing an Honors Symposium presentation.)
This is a great opportunity for students to:
-
Gain communication and presentation skills
-
Learn to summarize research, an integral part of a scholarship
-
Get recognition for their hard work on a research project
-
Have the chance to discuss their project with others who share their interests
-
Give the community a chance to learn about the exciting research being done by them
-
Add another great experience to their professional resume
Designing a Poster
Posters can be created in several different ways, but many students prefer to use PowerPoint to design their poster. The UC Berkeley Library has this wonderful guide to creating a research poster, from concept to execution.
