About RCNR Poster Sessions / Research Showcase

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. This is a great opportunity for you to:

  • Gain communication and presentation skills
  • Learn to summarize your research, an integral part of a scholarship
  • Get recognition for your hard work on a research project
  • Have the chance to discuss your project with others who share your interests
  • Give the community a chance to learn about the exciting research being done by you, a fabulous undergraduate student
  • Add another great experience to your professional resume

Important: Students completing a student-initiated SPUR project this semester must participate (unless you are also an Honors Program Student doing an Honors Symposium presentation). Required presenters will have recieved email communication with more details.

Poster Session Guidelines for Participants

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.
