The College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences is
calling for abstracts for the CFAES Undergraduate Research Forum,
scheduled for Wednesday, April 23, 2008, from 1:00pm to 3:30pm, in the
Agricultural Administration Building Auditorium.
How to Write
an Abstract
The CFAES Undergraduate Research Forum provides a means for
undergraduate students to share their research with members and friends
of the OSU community; recognizes the significant contributions to
research by OSU undergraduates; and facilitates exchange between
students, faculty, and the public. Participation in this event
will prepare students for the OSU Denman Undergraduate Research Forum
on Wednesday, May 14, 2008.
Students enrolled in any undergraduate degree program in CFAES and the
School of Environment and Natural Resources are invited to participate,
provided they have a CPHR ≥ 2.5 and are engaged in supervised research
projects in the area of their major. If a research
project is ongoing and will not be completed by April 23, a
research-in-progress summary may be submitted in lieu of an
abstract.
- All participants will be rewarded with a $50 gift card from Barnes & Noble!
- Research that has been presented in another venue is welcome.
- By submitting an abstract, the student agrees to present the research at the Forum.
- To assist students in preparing their presentations, workshops will be held in advance of the Forum on how to prepare an abstract and on how to develop and deliver an effective poster presentation.
- Final presentations are in the form of poster presentations and will be judged by faculty.
- Monetary prizes will be awarded to the best judged presentations in each category.
