Student Research Symposium

2013 Student Research Symposium
April 24 and 25, 2013

Registration for the 2013 Student Research Symposium is currently open!

Texas A&M University at Galveston (TAMUG) presents its 2013 Student Research Symposium on Wednesday, April 24, 2013 and Thursday, April 25, 2013 in the lobby of Sea Aggie Center.  The Symposium is open to all TAMUG-based students, with separate categories for undergraduate and graduate students, and provides the opportunity to present research in a poster format.  Participants are encouraged to present results from their current research projects, even if it is preliminary research as these presentations provide the student researcher the opportunity to discuss their research with other participants and faculty.  In addition, the Symposium provides a venue for the exposure of student research to the broader TAMUG community.  There is no registration fee for the Symposium.  Posters submitted to the Research and Graduate Studies Office by the listed deadline are printed free of charge (unless the Research and Graduate Office already printed a free poster during the Fall 2012 semester).

  • Abstract text

Abstracts should be written in the original words of the poster presenter and should represent work that has not been published previously.

Poster Guidelines

  • Tutorial on how to create a poster in PowerPoint
  • Place the title and the authors' names, research category, and academic status (undergraduate/graduate) prominently at the top of the poster to allow viewers to identify your presentation easily.
  • Save posters as a PowerPoint document to a USB drive, and set it to print at 3 feet high by 4 feet wide (landscape).
  • Posters are due no later than Monday, April 15, 2013.  Please carefully proofread your poster prior to submission, as only one poster is printed per student or group of students for no charge.
  • Posters are printed by the Research and Graduate Studies Office (RGSO).  RGSO assigns the location of your poster.  A map of poster locations will be provided during check-in on the day of Symposium. 
  • Poster presenters should plan to stand by their posters from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm (for graduate students) on April 24, 2013 or 11:00 am to 1:00 pm (for undergraduate students) on April 25, 2013.
  • All students (lead and co-authors) whose presentations are awarded will be recognized at the Awards Ceremony.

Awards & Categories

The top three posters (in each category and overall) presented by graduate and undergraduate students are recognized at the Awards Ceremony.  Also, there is an opportunity for faculty, students, and staff to nominate a "People's Choice Award" this year during the judging.  Recipients of the "People's Choice Award" are recognized at the Awards Ceremony as well.  There are no cash prizes for any winners.
