The 2024 Student Research Days Poster Sessions and Creative Exhibitions was held on March 26-27, hosted by the Office of Graduate Studies, the Office of Undergraduate Research and Fellowships, and the Office of Research and Economic Development.

More than 120 graduate students presented, and those who were awarded prizes for their scholarship and presentation skills received $400 toward travel grants to present their research regionally or nationally as well as support other research costs. Over 40 faculty and postdoc volunteer judges met with students during sessions and evaluated their presentations.
