Each year, IUB students can share their research, present a poster, receive feedback from judges, and network with other researchers in our annual Women’s Research Poster Competition. Entrants compete for prizes in one of five discipline categories in both undergraduate and graduate divisions, as well as a People’s Choice Award.
