2018 EHE Student Research Forum

February 23, 2018

This annual event, sponsored by the EHE Office of Research, highlights the research of our graduate and undergraduate students. We have over 110 student presentations, both oral and poster, describing completed, in-progress, and proposed studies as well as literature reviews and research methodology. The oral presentations are grouped so that similar topics are clustered. The posters will be in the Cartoon Room with half of the posters during Session 1 and the other half during Session 2. The posters will be changed during lunch. Below you will find a quick overview of the schedule. A website detailing information about the forum is located at u.osu.edu/ehestudentresearch/. Additional information will be added to the website up to the day of the event, and photos will be added following the event.

Please register to attend this event whether you will be staying the entire day or just part of the day. We also need to know whether you will be joining us for lunch. If you have any questions, please contact Rebecca Chacko at chacko.9@osu.edu.
