The MANRRS Research Poster Symposium provides an opportunity for students to showcase their academic achievements, research, leadership projects, and innovative ideas in a professional conference setting. Participants gain valuable experience communicating their work, receive constructive feedback from peers and professionals, and strengthen skills that support academic and career success. The symposium also offers a platform to build confidence, expand professional networks, and highlight contributions to agriculture, STEM, and related fields.
The symposium is “non-competitive” and participants will not receive an award based on their participation. There are two divisions for student participation:
- Division I: Biological, Chemical, and Physical Sciences
- Division II: Education, Social Sciences and Business
Eligibility: Undergraduate and graduate student collegiate MANRRS members.
