Research, Scholarship and Creativity Symposium Graphic

Don't miss a chance to learn about all the exceptional work happening here at Sonoma State.

  • Undergraduate Students – Monday, April 28, 2025 (3:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m.)
  • Faculty and Graduate Students – Tuesday, April 29, 2025 (3:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m.)

This event is a two-day, in-person event featuring the outstanding accomplishments of faculty and students across all disciplines. This is a great opportunity to showcase your research, scholarship, and creative activities to the campus and surrounding community. Students and faculty members display their projects on posters and other media in the Student Center Main Ballroom. There will also be a section for registrants to give live lightning talks highlighting their work. There will be food and beverages and the event is open to all!

REGISTRANTS PLEASE NOTE: You will need to provide a brief abstract of your project at the time of registration, but work does not have to be completed to register. Although most of the displays will be in poster presentation format, we will be able to accommodate other types of presentations to better represent all disciplines (i.e. music, film, photography, art, dance, etc.), and we will be accepting five-minute lightning talk presentations. For lightning talk registered presenters, please send an email of your final project’s PowerPoint presentation to [email protected] by April 21st, 2025.

For those presenting with a printed poster, please check out Research Posters 101 for templates and size information. We will provide an easel and a foam-core board set-up at the event for your use. You are responsible for transporting your poster to the event.

PRINTING: The ORSP office can print your poster for you up until end of day MONDAY, April 21st. If you are with the College of Science, Technology, and Business, we ask that you print your poster on the large format printer located in Darwin Basement.

Your poster needs to be in PDF (36” H by 48” W) format when you send it to us. Posters take up to 30 minutes each to print, and you must pick up your poster in our office, Salazar #1040 before the event. To send in your poster for printing, upload it here: https://forms.gle/bGLiJDCg1FyFKauVA. Please be 100% certain that it is the final draft as we will not be offering re-prints.

If you have any general questions, please contact the Office of Research & Sponsored Programs at [email protected].
