Call for Abstracts

2015 Dr. William R. Wiley Research Exposition

Friday, February 20

The WSU Graduate & Professional Student Association (GPSA) would like to invite you to present your research at the 2015 Dr. William R. Wiley Research Exposition. The Wiley Research Exposition provides WSU students the opportunity to present their research and scholarship among their peers, alumni, faculty and the WSU community.

All students currently enrolled at any of the Washington State University campuses are eligible to present at the Wiley Research Exposition. Graduate and professional students are eligible to compete for scholarships from GPSA. This year undergraduate students will be eligible to compete for scholarships provided by The Associated Students of Washington State University (ASWSU). ASWSU will be awarding a $1000 first place scholarship for the top oral and poster presentations by undergraduate students.  Presentations can be formatted as oral or poster presentations.Graduate, professional, and undergraduate students competing for awards will be judged by WSU alumni and emeritus faculty.

Graduate and Professional scholarship awards will be given for first and second place in each of the following categories. This year we have partnered with the Office of International Programs to create an eighth category that highlights cross-cultural collaborations and co-authorship of research that has a global impact. Students may submit one oral presentation and one poster presentation; however, the two presentations must each address different research questions. Students presenting in both formats have a chance to win multiple awards!
