2024 Student Poster Competition

We are pleased to present the submissions from our project undergraduate and graduate level students. The projects span a variety of topics and disciplines. We believe that effective science communication is more important now than it ever has been. We challenged our students to embrace #BetterPoster principles in creating their presentations.

Return to 2024 All Hands Meeting and Poster Competition page.

Here are the guidelines that were given to the students: 

Students were strongly encouraged to present a physical #BetterPoster style poster during the conference to compete for travel awards and network with our external advisory board members. A template was provided.

First, Second, and Third Place winners were selected in both undergraduate and graduate categories. The winners were announced the morning of September 20, 2024 during the All-Hands Annual Meeting. All students who submitted presentations receive a certificate of completion, and the winners receive travel awards to present their work at relevant regional and national conferences.
