Undergraduate Posters for
National and State Legislatures
The Council on Undergraduate Research has established this special section of
the CUR website to provide information to participants in our annual
"Undergraduate Research Posters on the Hill" event, which occurs in late March or April
of each year. Sixty competitively selected student posters are
displayed on the U.S. Capitol during a late afternoon reception. In the morning of the
same day, there is an orientation session, followed by visits from students and their
faculty mentors to their Representatives and Senators' offices.
This event can easily be adapted for poster sessions in state capitol cities. An
article from the CUR Quarterly of December, 1998 entitled "Poster Sessions at Your State Capitol: Excellent
Experiences and Lessons Learned" shows how to do such an event.
We have also included an article from our booklet, How to Get Started in Research,
"Hints for Poster
Presentations", talking in general about student poster presentations.
Research in the
State Capital: Helping your State Legislators Understand and Appreciate
Higher Education, by Patricia Pukkila and Katherine Whatley.
This article appeared in the December 2001 CUR Quarterly.
CUR is always interested in hearing about your student poster sessions for
legislatures. Contact us with information at cur@cur.org
