Research Expo 2015 Wrap-Up: And the poster awards go to…

Research Expo 2015 took place Thursday April 16, 2015 and featured a poster session, faculty lightning talks, and an award ceremony and networking reception. The event was a success, thanks to our judges, sponsors and the Jacobs School faculty, staff, and students. As a way to recognize the hard work of the graduate students who presented a poster at the event, a grand prize and the Rudee Outstanding Poster Award was presented to the poster deemed “best in show” by the judges.  In addition, smaller prizes and awards were given to the presenters of one poster in each department who were able to articulate the meaning of their research extraordinarily well.
