“Our students greatly benefit from having faculty members who are actively engaged in research and mentor them through this process.”
Dr. Sigal Gottlieb, Department of Mathematics
Presenting your research
Presenting your work in writing, as a poster, or as a talk, is vital in the process of developing power. It is critical to your success as a researcher that your work becomes known to wider audiences and has an impact.
Two important presentation venues are the local Sigma Xi Research Conference, and the Massachusetts Statewide Research Conference at the UMass Amherst, both held annually in April.
Additionally, your advisor can help you find venues to present your research: department /seminar series, local conferences in your subject area, websites, blogs.
