Showcasing Undergraduate Symposium Posters

Staff at College Library are pleased that a selection of Undergraduate Symposium posters will be displayed on site beginning in late April through Summer 2026. The annual Undergraduate Symposium showcases undergraduate research, scholarly work, community-based projects, art, and creativity from all areas of study at UW–Madison including the humanities, arts, biological sciences, physical sciences, social sciences, and computer data and information sciences.

Now in its 28th year, the symposium is scheduled for Friday, April 17th, 2026 at Union South and the Discovery Building. The display at College Library will highlight posters that exemplify strong design and organization, effective use of written content and visuals, creativity, and a clear emphasis on the project’s significance or impact. This is an opportunity for presenters to be recognized for excellent work on their posters and to share their research, scholarly projects, and artistic endeavors with members of the campus community visiting College Library over the summer. Because College Library serves as the home of SOAR advising during the summer months, we are delighted that incoming students will have the opportunity to see examples of the the creative and scholarly work being done by current undergraduates.

Presenters will be invited to indicate their interest in this opportunity on the Undergraduate Symposium application. To be considered, undergraduates must submit their digital poster files one week in advance of the event. Selected posters will be announced on the symposium website in late April.
