VIRTUAL 16th Annual Randy Kobes Undergraduate Poster Symposium

The 16^thannual Randy Kobes Poster Symposium displays some of the excellent quality research by undergraduate students at The University of Winnipeg. This event is a valuable opportunity for students to obtain experience in presentations of scientific research especially if a student plans to continue with graduate work. It also gives students an opportunity to see what exciting research is taking place amongst their peers and celebrate these accomplishments together.

During the week of September 7-10, students will present their poster via Zoom during their scheduled time slot. The presentation will be recorded and reviewed by a series of judges during the following week. Each session consists of a 5-7 minute oral presentation of their research, followed by time for questions. Due to the wide range of topics displayed, the poster and presentation should be aimed at the level of an (informed) general public because the judges are not experts in all the fields presented.

Competing isOPTIONAL.All student posters will be judged, however only those who wish to compete may win a cash prize in one of the 4 selected categories:

• Social Sciences
• Biological & Environmental Sciences
• Experimental Physical Sciences
• Mathematical & Theoretical Physical Sciences

All students will receive feedback from the judges, providing insight on strengths and weaknesses making the event a learning experience. An awards ceremony will take place on September 22nd via Zoom to celebrate all the contestants and announce the winners of each category for those who competed.

This competition is open to all undergraduate students who performed scientific research at The University of Winnipeg under the supervision of a faculty member or with a faculty member sponsor (this includes summer projects and honour's theses). To be eligible, the student should have been enrolled in an undergraduate program in the 2020-2021 school year, OR will be an undergraduate in the 2021-2022 school year.
