Students are offered the opportunity to showcase their research and creative efforts at the UALR Research and Creative Works Expo. The deadline to enter has been extended to noon Monday, April 6.

Graduate and undergraduate students, including those who graduated in the summer or fall of 2014, are encouraged to apply.

Applicable research or creative work include, but are not limited to, senior theses, honors, independent study, course-related, and thesis and dissertation projects. The work may be recently completed or ongoing, collaborative, or individual.

All research by UALR students involving human participants, biohazards agents, or animal subjects must be reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review Board, The Institutional Biosafety Committee, or the Institutional Animal Care and Use committees, respectively.

At the expo, students will present their work using posters. They will be judged in several categories including how clear and novel their approach, how well they create perspective, and how apt they are at briefly “pitching” their work to convey what they are doing.

Alternative formats, such as performance or film clips, must be requested in advance.

The UALR Research and Creative Works Expo will be held on Monday, April 13, in the Donaghey Student Center, Ledbetter Hall. The undergraduate expo will take place in the morning, with judging and display from 9 a.m to noon, and the graduate expo will be from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

All students who participate in the expo will receive a certificate at the awards ceremony.

The event takes place on April 15 at 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Donaghey Student Center, Ledbetter Hall.
