Prepare Your Presentation: Resources

The following resources are available to undergraduate students in support of their symposium presentation. For any questions about your presentation, please email ugresearch@uoregon.edu

The Undergraduate Research Symposium, ASURE and other campus organizations like UO Libraries provide a range of support and resources for undergraduate presenters, including abstract writing, citing sources, poster and slideshow design, oral and poster presentation, creating data stories, finding data and research-related resources, and public speaking.  

The Affiliated Students for Undergraduate Research and Engagement (ASURE) host info sessions and abstract workshops for students to work on their symposium application in a low-stress and supportive environment with their peers. Submission guidelines and examples will also be shared. Attendance at one or more of these sessions is highly encouraged and is an excellent opportunity for personal and professional development.
