Presenting Your Research

Presenting Your Research

Presenting your research is a great way to share what work you’ve done, get feedback on a project, practice communication skills, and network with other scholars. CSURF encourages students to present their work both on- and off-campus.

Here we list some great options but students should consult with their research mentors for discipline-specific options.

On Campus

Showcase of Student Research and Creativity

This campus-wide event is held each December and April on the UNCW campus. All students (undergraduate and graduate) from all disciplines are invited to present their research or creative project as a poster, an oral presentation, an exhibit, or a performance.

Saturday April 13 2024  Watson Education Building, time TBA
