A word from Anna:
"The Collegiate Poster Competition is a way for undergraduate and graduate students participating in research to share their projects at the SWE national conference. I learned about the competition early last summer, and thought I'd give it a try. Admittedly, I forgot that I ever submitted an abstract until I got an email a few months later -- I was selected as a finalist, along with fellow RPI SWE member and Region F RCR, Sharon Vuong. We were both given travel stipends to attend the conference in Baltimore, along with a free collegiate registration and a ticket to Celebrate SWE. At the career fair, we hung up our posters, which were judged based on how effectively they explained the research without the presence of the student. At Celebrate SWE, I won 3rd place in the undergraduate category with a $100 cash award. I encourage anyone who is doing research to submit an abstract next year! It's a great way to promote your work and meet other women across the country who are also doing research. Plus, you can take advantage of everything else that the national conference has to offer!"
