Research Showcase
Showcasing Student Research
Each year, GW hosts Research Showcase, which is an opportunity for students, faculty and researchers throughout GW to share their research with the university community. The process begins about a month before when participants submit an abstract of current, ongoing or completed research for consideration. Once approved, participants have the opportunity to showcase their research with an online poster presentation with the chance to win monetary prizes. It’s a great way to network and gain experience presenting your research to both research and non-technical audiences.
