CEW&T announces winners of the 2018 Women’s Research Poster Competition

On April 6, 2018, we hosted our fifth annual Women's Research Poster Competition. Participants had the opportunity to present a poster about their research, receive feedback from judges, network with other women researchers, and compete for prizes.

Of the 83 poster entries, 11 winners were chosen in 5 categories. Each category offered awards for both graduate and undergraduate students. Sixty-one members of the IU Community (faculty, staff, graduate students, and postdocs) served as judges.

Additionally, members of the public and the IU community were invited to vote for a People's Choice award winner.

The 2018 Women's Research Poster Competition winners are pictured below by the categories in which they completed. Click on the poster title to see their poster.
