Campus Research Month

Campus Research Month will be celebrated across our campus throughout the month of April. The Campus Research Day event will be held on April 16, 2026.

Campus Research Month Events-April 2026

Each academic discipline represented across campus is encouraged to host student or faculty oral research presentation events and to invite guest researchers appropriate for their discipline to speak at their leisure. Any such events can be listed and promoted through the Campus Research Month website and the library's social media. To send in your event information and/or statistics for inclusion in Campus Research Month, please email bfhoward@southern.edu. We will help spread the word across campus of the amazing research or projects your discipline is working on!

Interdisciplinary Poster Sessions

All students who wish to present a poster during Campus Research Day are welcome to submit a poster presentation proposal for inclusion in the program. All such students will be included in the program, provided they register by the deadline.

The afternoon poster session will be held from 2 PM to 3:345 PM in the Fellowship Hall of Collegedale Seventh-day Adventist Church. Each poster session will include an optional competition for those who wish to compete, with prizes of $300 (1st prize), $200 (2nd prize), and $100 (3rd prize). Competitors should upload a copy of their poster online, prepare high-quality posters, and be ready to give a five-minute summary of their research to the session's judges.

Poster Sizing and Printing Information

The recommended poster for the Campus Research Day poster session would be a 36”x48” trifold poster or a 24"x36" foam poster. A small bookstand (one per poster) will be provided if a foam poster of the recommended dimensions is utilized. Students/professors are responsible for providing their own poster.

On-campus Printing

The supervising professor should send in poster printing requests in bulk if more than one student is supervised by the same professor to Southern Mailing and Printing Services, if free printing is desired. The deadline for free printing through Southern Mailing and Printing Services is April 2nd, due to limited supplies. Participants or professors should contact Southern Mailing and Printing Services in advance to ensure their printing needs can be met. Professors who have multiple students participating should try to email all the printing requests at once. Printing requests for Campus Research Day must be received by Southern Mailing and Printing Services' deadline to ensure they are ready by the event.
