You’re invited to attend UNL’s fifth annual Student Research Days Slam, coming to the Wick Alumni Center April 9, 2026.
The Student Research Days Slam is a campus-wide contest in which graduate, undergraduate students and post-docs from ALL DISCIPLINES communicate their work in short, dynamic, engaging presentations, with a winner to be decided by the audience. Lunch will be served at 11:30 a.m., and the Slam competition will follow noon–1 p.m. in the Wick Alumni Center.
Are you interested in learning more about UNL student research in a fun, informal setting with free food? Reserve a seat in the audience. Cheer on the Slammers, and then it’s up to you to decide who gave the most compelling presentation and deserves to be crowned Supreme Slammer. There is no registration fee, but space is limited!
