16th Annual Graduate Student Research Poster Competition
Friday, March 24th, the Texas Tech Graduate School held the 16th Annual Graduate Student Research Poster Competition in the Helen DeVitt Jones Sculpture Court at the Museum of Texas Tech University. This competition is a chance for students to present their research to fellow students, faculty, staff, and Lubbock community members. The competition is a professional development opportunity for graduate students to build their communication skills before they represent Texas Tech at both national and international research conferences. The students presented research in many diverse fields including: Education, Engineering, Human and Agricultural Sciences as well as various other disciplines.
There were a record number of poster entries this year with 150 being selected for judging. From the selected posters, the Poster Competition Award Recipients were announced on Thursday, March 30th, at the Graduate Student Award Ceremony in the Helen DeVitt Jones Sculpture Court at the Museum of Texas Tech University. We kindly thank everyone who participated and made the event a wonderful success!
Specifically, we would like to express our appreciation to the Museum of Texas Tech for hosting this year's poster session and Awards Ceremony. We also would like to thank the Teaching, Learning, and Professional Development Center, as well as the Communication Training Center, for hosting the poster tutorials.
