Six students presenting their research findings

Innovative Minds, Transformative Research

Presenting research at a conference or other event is an important part of student researchers' professional development. Conferences provide opportunities for students to contribute to and learn about research happening in their field by engaging with fellow researchers and help build a professional network.

Conferences provide an opportunity to learn how to talk about research and to advocate for its importance. Representing your field of study through presenting your research is an important way of generating interest and support for your field among researchers in other disciplines, policy makers, and the general public.

I have presented at 7 conferences, from campus to national, and the key to success at these conferences is to communicate ideas effectively.
