Human Sciences Students Excel in Research Conference and Poster Competition

The College of Human Sciences is dedicated to empowering its students to pursue innovative research. With access to expert faculty and top-notch research facilities, students are able to conduct impactful research that makes a difference in the lives of others.

Graduate School Poster Competition

Texas Tech University's Graduate School hosted its 18th annual poster competition on March 26, and winners were announced at a luncheon on April 9. Students could enter their posters into one of 17 categories.

Ron Baker and the Human Sciences Technology staff members were honored for their contributions and volunteer efforts to ensure the event ran smoothly. 

"We worked with the graduate school to get all of the posters printed economically and on time for the competition," Ron said. "We are always looking for opportunities to contribute to the students and programs at Texas Tech."

Undergraduate Research Conference

The 11th annual TTU Undergraduate Research Conference (URC) was held April 2-3, as part of Texas Tech University's Discoveries to Impact, a weeklong celebration of undergraduate students' research, innovation, and startups.

With more than 300 students annually sharing their research through events like the poster and oral presentations, URC presenters and performers represent a broad range of fields, including the humanities, biological and chemical sciences, social sciences, and physical sciences.

The College of Human Sciences had 26 undergraduate students participate, and one 2nd place award in Nutritional Sciences. Congratulations to these students for their innovative research efforts!
