Research Day

Friday, March 21, 2025
Research Day is a showcase and celebration of Trent Durham research and community-based projects, with undergraduate students, graduate students, alumni, staff, and faculty members sharing their research and community-based projects with the Durham campus community. Students can experience what it feels like to present their work and connect with faculty mentors, and the Durham community can learn about exciting projects from the campus' departments and programs.
There are two ways for presenters to showcase their work: through a Talk or a Poster.
- Talk: each presenter will have 5-7 minutes to explain their project, plus an additional 3 minutes for Q&A after the presentation.
- First-place prizes will be given for Best Undergraduate Student Talk and for Best Graduate Student Talk. Each winner will be awarded $200.00.
- Posters: will be displayed during the lunch break, with presenters expected to stand by their posters during that time.
- First-place prizes will be given for Best Undergraduate Student Poster and for Best Graduate Student Poster. Each will be awarded $100.00.
