Campus Research Day 2026 submissions are due by March 26, 2026. We realize titles and abstracts may still be in progress and need updating. All such changes must be finalized prior to the April 2, 2026 deadline. The April 2 deadline is a fixed deadline, and no new submissions or changes will be accepted after the deadline to avoid logistical issues. Be sure to double-check that you are signed up and that your information is correct!
Interdisciplinary Poster Session Competition
Competitors should be prepared to give a five-minute summary of their research to the session's judges. Posters should include a well-organized, aesthetically pleasing design and quality content appropriate to the discipline. Competitors should upload a copy of their poster prior to the April 2, 2026, deadline, to ensure the judges have a chance to view it online, if the judges choose to do so. If a research group competes together for a scholarship, the original prize money amount will be split evenly among the participants. Winners will be announced via email and social media. The rubric the judges will use to judge the poster competition can be viewed here: Poster Competition Rubric.
Non-Competitive Poster Presentations
All students who wish to present non-competitively during Campus Research Day are welcome to submit a presentation for inclusion in the program. All such students will be included in the program, provided they register by the deadline, March 26, 2026
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. The supervising professor should send in poster printing requests in bulk if more than one student is supervised by the same professor to Quick Print, if free printing is desired. For more information on printing with Quick Print, please contact them at qprint@southern.edu. Printing requests for Campus Research Day must be received by QuickPrint's deadline in order to be ready by the event on April 16. Students/professors are responsible for providing their own poster and other supplies needed for mounting their poster if additional materials are needed other than the provided book stands.
For information regarding printing your poster with our campus partner QuickPrint, please view the Quickprint Informative Guidelines. Participants or professors should contact Quick Print in advance to ensure their printing needs can be met.
