Research Slam

Co-hosted by the Office of Undergraduate Research and University Libraries

Target Audience

Everyone is welcome to come and hear what our creative NC State undergraduate researchers have to share. In particular, students who are curious to get involved in research are encouraged to attend and ask questions. This is a great opportunity to see the many forms of research, brainstorm ideas, and network with other students. Friends and family of presenters, plus community members are especially welcome to come and support the Wolfpack. We love to have you visit!

Event Dates

Speaker Selection Process

Undergraduate speakers must first be nominated by their research mentors or other faculty or staff at NC State. The Office of Undergraduate Research puts out a call before each event asking faculty and staff across the campus to nominate students whom they believe can describe their research in an engaging manner to a lay audience.

Nominees are then contacted by the Office of Undergraduate Research and asked to provide additional information about themselves and their research for continued consideration by the Research Slam review team who will make the final determination of student speakers. Only five to six nominees will be selected to present. Based on the qualify of submitted materials, non-selected students may be acknowledged as runners-up.

Class or Group Participation

We welcome instructors and group leads advertising the Research Slam to their students as an optional professional development activity to attend. If you would like to require attendance or need to document attendance by your students, we ask that you please reach out to us (undergraduate-research@ncsu.edu) so that we can work together on the best arrangements for all parties.
