Undergraduate Forum

The Annual Convention annually features a separate Undergraduate Research Forum in the form of poster presentations.

Students are invited to give 3- to 5-minute presentations on their research followed by a networking event. This is an opportunity for aspiring scholars to discuss their research with peers, graduate students and faculty, and to be awarded prizes by NeMLA's various constituencies. Join us and vote for your favorite presentations and posters!
