VCU Poster Symposium for Undergraduate Research and Creativity

Students present research posters

Organized by the VCU Office of Undergraduate Research & Creative Inquiry, and part of VCU Research Weeks, the annual VCU Poster Symposium for Undergraduate Research and Creativity is an opportunity for students to present their research endeavors and creative scholarship to their academic peers, members of the VCU faculty, community members, and friends and family.

All undergraduate researchers from every discipline are encouraged to present. Presentations may be for completed research projects, completed papers, or research in progress.

We are currently accepting poster abstracts up until the deadline of March 21, 2025
