2025 Student Research Poster Day

4:00–6:00 pm Jones 303

We invite all students (Stat and CAM) and faculty to the Student Research Poster Day event. Please save the data & location: Jones 303 from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm on May 20!
Selected student research posters will be presented, and everyone is welcome to come and look around; light snacks will be provided! 

Call for posters
We invite submissions of all research posters from Stat and CAM students. There is no restriction on the topic; you are welcome to submit any research work done during your graduate program (Stat/CAM, PhD/MS), though we suggest submitting recent research. There will be awards with prizes for the best posters. 

Submit proposals
Please submit your poster proposal by May 1 through https://forms.office.com/r/Tjy9a3NLKQ (UChicago sign-in required). We will announce the selected proposals on May 2. Once your proposal is selected, you should email your final poster by May 13. We will print and install posters for you; we will cover the printing cost.
