Register for Celebration 2026

Timeline for presenters

Find an overview of the events and deadlines leading up to the Celebration. 

Registration for presenters

Every project must be registered. If there is more than one student researcher on a project, the group should pick a "lead student" to enter project information. See guidelines on who, when and where to register.

Posters

Students will work with their faculty mentors to determine the best presentation mode for their project(s). For poster information, see this webpage on poster formats and templates.

Abstracts

Upon registration you will be asked to create an abstract for your project. A book will be published, both in print and on Digital Commons, at the beginning of May that includes abstracts from the projects presented at the Celebration. Find abstract requirements and samples.
