The hybrid Purdue Fall Undergraduate Research Expo is an opportunity for undergraduate researchers to showcase the scholarly work and creative endeavors they have been engaged in through poster presentations or research talks!
Why should I participate in Purdue's undergraduate research conferences?
Being a part of what makes Purdue excellent prepares you for future experiences where you will need to present and apply your work. Being directly involved in the process of discovery, along with the feedback from judges and other student participants during the conference will prove invaluable in your efforts to present your work in the future.
The undergraduate research conferences, such as the Fall Expo, are open to the public and showcase the research of Purdue undergraduate students.

Other Opportunities to Showcase Your Work
Communicating research through presentations and publications is an important part of the research process. Several options are available to students for showcasing and publishing their work and the Fall Undergraduate Research Expo is one of them. The OUR also hosts a hands-on event, Celebrate Purdue's Thinkers, Creators, and Experimenters, where students bring in their project in some form for the audience to engage with it. Several undergraduate research programs and academic units also have symposiums/poster sessions throughout the year.
For those students who are willing to invest more effort, the Journal of Purdue Undergraduate Research (JPUR) and the Purdue Journal of Service-Learning (PJSL) hold the option of experiencing the scholarly publishing process and its benefits. These are
