Spring Presentations of Undergraduate Research has been rescheduled for April 26, 2017. Watch this space for updates!
The Office of Student Research (OSR) is pleased to invite undergraduate students from all disciplines to submit proposals for Spring Presentation of Undergraduate Research (SPUR) at Longwood University. SPUR is a multi-disciplinary event that gives students the opportunity to publicly share inquiry-based work-in-progress as well as completed research projects. SPUR will be held April 7, 2016. Proposals are due February 29, 2016 March 14, 2016. Notifications will be made by March 28, 2016.
SPUR is open to undergraduate students at all levels from Cook-Cole College of Arts & Sciences, College of Business & Economics, and College of Education & Human Services. Students may submit individual proposals for oral presentations (including papers and demonstrations), visual arts presentations, traditional poster presentations or virtual posters (screencast poster presentations; this option can be used for performances). OSR will give awards to the presenters with presentations that garner the most interest. We will track participants through Twitter, and the participants who garner the most tweets related to their presentation will receive an award. OSR will also use Twitter to track attendees who engage with the most presentations. These attendees who produce the highest number of substantial tweets about the presentations will receive a prize. Details about participating in SPUR’s social media campaign will be released once the schedule is finalized.
