The Office of Research and Sponsored Programs is excited to announce the twelfth Celebration of Undergraduate & Graduate Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activities. This event will provide undergraduate and graduate students, postdocs, and residents from a wide array of disciplines the occasion to showcase their academic endeavors.

This daylong event provides an opportunity to exhibit posters and present discoveries, advances, and scholarly explorations, as well as an excellent opportunity to share experiences with other students, faculty, and community partners.

We are thrilled to announce that this year’s Wright State University Celebration of Research on March 13 will feature awards for outstanding presentations across all categories! Recognizing excellence in research communication, we will be honoring exceptional plenary talks, data blitz presentations, and posters. Judges will evaluate entries based on creativity, clarity, organization, and impact. This is a fantastic opportunity for students to not only showcase their work but also compete for well-deserved recognition. We can’t wait to see your research shine—good luck to all participants!
