Dr. Jay W. Boland Research Day
Dedicated to the memory of former faculty member Dr. Jay Boland, Research Day combines what were once three separate events – the Boland Undergraduate Research Symposium, the Appalachian Student Research Forum, and the Community-Engaged Learning Showcase – under one umbrella. This event highlights the work of undergraduate students, graduate students, residents and fellows and includes a poster session, oral presentations, creative displays, and a community-engaged learning showcase.
Tennessee Posters at the Capitol
Tennessee Posters at the Capitol is an annual event that draws undergraduate researchers from institutions across the state to interact with state legislators. This event also allows students to apply and communicate the significance of their research to the public and state legislators. Each year, ETSU sends 7 students to present posters of their work for this event.
Blue Ridge Undergraduate Research Conference
Originally called the Southeastern Undergraduate Research Conference, the Blue Ridge Undergraduate Research Conference is committed to providing a forum for southern Appalachian students to present the results of their research in a convenient and interesting setting. The 2025 conference is April 10 at Mulligan University.
Southern Appalachian Student Conference on Literature
Hosted by ETSU's Department of Literature and Language, SASCOL permits undergraduate upperclassmen and graduate students the opportunity to present their literary research to peers from colleges and universities in the southern Appalachian region, providing them professional experience as they pursue their studies.
National Conference on Undergraduate Research
The National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) is dedicated to promoting undergraduate research, scholarship and creative activity in all fields of study by sponsoring an annual conference for students. Unlike meetings of academic professional organizations, this gathering of student scholars welcomes presenters from all institutions of higher learning and from all disciplines. The 2025 Conference will be held April 7-9 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
