The Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development Graduate Student Organization (GSO), the Office of Research, and the Office of Student Affairs are enthusiastic sponsors of the Research and Scholarship Showcase. The 9th Annual Showcase will take place on Wednesday, April 21, 2021, at 10:00 am via zoom.
Please join us to witness the wide range of research being conducted by students (from all degree levels) at Steinhardt. There will be oral presentations, and poster presentations with an optional multimedia component. This year, we are excited to announce two new awards and an added virtual component to help facilitate ease of access for judges and members of the NYU community.
Come to cheer on a classmate, learn more, and witness #Steinhardt Scholars in action! Please submit your application to participate in the 9th Annual Research and Scholarship Showcase by March 12, 2021.

- A maximum of 40” x 28”
- Hardbacked to rest on an easel
- Font between 20 and 24 inches
- Title that includes the name of the author(s) and is approximately one inch tall

- Acknowledgments (Optional)
Please work with your mentor or adviser on the creation of your poster.
Poster Presentations with a Multimedia Component
This type of presentation is new to the showcase. You must include a multimedia supplement to your application but it does not have to be a video. This is a space for you to creatively represent your research and disseminate your findings in non-traditional ways. If selected for this type of presentation you will be given an easel for your traditional poster as well as a high table for your laptop. You will also be judged in a separate category from the poster sessions.
*Relevant when we are in person. Guidelines will be provided if you are chosen to participate.
