Undergraduate Poster Session
The Office of Undergraduate Research and Fellowships, the Office of Graduate Studies, and the Office of Research and Innovation will be hosting our annual Student Research Days Poster Sessions and Creative Exhibitions. This is a great opportunity for students to present their research or creative work to the larger UNL community. During registration, presenters can choose to participate in a poster and creative exhibition competition. Awards from the UNL colleges and Honors Program will be available. Most students will present using research posters, but students are also welcome to share their work in other formats if that is more appropriate to their work.
3-5 p.m., Nebraska Union

Student Research Days Slam
The Student Research Days Slam is a campus-wide contest in which undergraduate, graduate students and postdoctoral researchers from all disciplines are challenged to communicate their work in short, dynamic, engaging presentations. This year’s Slam talks will reflect on the prompt: If you could travel into the past or the future to tell people about your research or creative endeavor, where would you go, who would you talk with, and what would you tell them?
This year’s slammers and the titles of their talks:

- Jocelyn Bullock (graduate student), agricultural leadership, education and communication; “Casks of Courage: My Ancestors’ Legacy in America’s Craft Beverages”
- Lance Buscher (junior), business administration, and Kenny Morales (junior), software engineering; “LifelineLinks: Nurturing Connections, Breaking Loneliness”
- Emma Conradi (graduate student) speech-language pathology; “A World Where Everyone Has an Equal Opportunity to Succeed!”
- Shilu Dahal (graduate student), plant pathology; “Rewriting History with Natural Defenders”
- Libia Gomez-Trejo (graduate student), complex biosystems; “Why and How Your Precious Maize Needs to be Cured”
Reserve your seat to cheer on the slammers.
