Student Research and Creative Scholarship Day

The Student Research and Creative Scholarship Day is a unique forum to share and highlight the breadth and diversity of the research topics and creative accomplishments of talented student scholars in Davis College. It is an opportunity for students to enhance their professional skills by presenting and discussing results of scholarly work in a way accessible to a broad, multi-disciplinary audience. 

Students present their work in one of two ways: oral presentation or poster. Awards for first through third place (including cash prizes) will be given for each of three student levels (doctoral, master's and undergraduate) and for each presentation format (poster and oral). Presenters will be judged and awarded based on the quality and communication of their work. Presentations should engage a general audience, rather than target subject matter experts.

Review the 2024 abstracts.

Mark your calendars! 

The 27th Davis College Graduate Student Research and Creative Scholarship Day will take place April 4, 2024, in the Agricultural Sciences Building. View the schedule.

Students will be notified of their acceptance by March 9, 2024.
