UFV's Student Research Day 2021 online showcase – featuring 54 research posters by 80 students – is now available to view at ufv.ca/student-research-day through the end of the year!
|
|
|
A panel of UFV professors scored the posters on quality of scholarship, organization, visual appeal, and students' ability to communicate why their research matters. Competition was fierce, but eight projects were selected for this year's top awards, worth $200 each.
We hope you'll take some time to browse all students' projects. If a poster inspires your curiosity or kudos, Tweet @UFVresearch using the hashtag #UFVStudentResearchDay and we'll make sure to pass your message on to the student or team who made it.
Thank you for continuing to support UFV student researchers!
