The Hutton Honors College invites all IU undergraduates from any discipline to participate in the annual Research Symposium and Poster Fair! This is a great opportunity to let others see the valuable work you have accomplished, and to see what other students in a variety of fields are exploring here at IU.  It is also a great chance for you to perfect your presentation skills and receive valuable feedback from faculty and interested colleagues. Don’t miss this opportunity for professional experience!

Whether you choose to present a paper or a poster, or would like to participate in both events, we welcome one page abstracts by Sunday, February 17, 2019.

Visit https://symposium.hutton.indiana.edu to submit your online application today!

The Hutton Honors College will hold workshops for students who would like to know more about paper or poster presentations prior to the event.

Students are encouraged to present on work that is not yet complete.  If you are writing a paper for a class, or conducting research for your thesis or a lab project, present your work and learn from the feedback you receive before you complete your project.  Presenting will help guide your thinking as you work toward completion.  Students are not asked to submit the final paper, just an abstract.

We look forward to hearing from you, and more importantly, to seeing the results of your efforts!
