Posters at the Capitol - February 15, 2023
Tennessee joined a dozen other states by exposing state legislators to undergraduate research through the first-ever Tennessee Posters at the Capitol, on February 1, 2006. Since its inception, undergraduate students from six Tennessee Board of Regents (TBR) universities and three University of Tennessee campuses have disseminated their research through posters. This prestigious event allows state legislators to meet with the students and learn about their outstanding research.
The Posters at the Capitol project, sponsored by the TBR and the University of Tennessee system, and hosted by Middle Tennessee State University's Tennessee STEM Education Center (TSEC), has two goals—to expose legislators to undergraduate researchers and, likewise, to expose undergraduates to their legislators. The state of Tennessee is the beneficiary of this exciting effort.
Reserve February 15, 2023, when undergraduate students from
Tennessee state universities will present their research posters to legislators and
guests at the Tennessee State Capitol.
These students are selected to represent the best of undergraduate research in STEM disciplines at their institutions.
