2004 Graduate Research Poster Contest

In 2004, the CIS department sponsored the first graduate research poster contest. Graduate students were invited to submit a poster describing their research. A faculty committee selected the winners and awarded prizes that ranged from cash awards to unicycles and gift certificates. Ten research posters were submitted. They are currently on display throughout the department. Congratulations to the winners and to all the participants.
