2021 Undergraduate Research Poster Exhibition
"It was the first time I ever got to make a poster and present my research. I liked the experience I got at communicating scientific information to people outside of my field. It helped me realize I need to gear my information to my audience so that they can understand what I’m talking about."

"I had a fun time sharing my poster and received very helpful feedback from the judges. If you have a poster that you want to take to a professional conference, this exhibition is something you should attend. It's a great opportunity to practice presenting and get feedback on your work."

Fall 2021 Undergraduate Research Poster Exhibition
"I really enjoyed my experience. This was my first time presenting at Penn State where I got to show off my work that I conducted over the summer at an REU. I connected with other undergrads that aligned in similar fields to myself and learned all about what they are doing both inside and outside of Penn State."
