Penn State’s Undergraduate Exhibition: A Showcase of Research and Creative Discovery is a public showcase of scholarly research and creative projects that allows undergraduates to communicate their findings to a broad audience. Held annually each spring, the Undergraduate Exhibition offers virtual and in-person opportunities to present work, whether through a poster, oral presentation, or performance.  

Many of Penn State’s colleges and campuses host their own exhibitions throughout the academic year, but the Undergraduate Exhibition is not discipline-specific—undergraduates from any campus, college, or discipline are eligible to present. Faculty, graduate students and staff, serve as judges that score presentations, and cash prizes are awarded to the top entries in each category. The J. Jeffrey and Ann Marie Fox Graduate School hosts a similar, University-wide exhibition for graduate students. Both the Graduate and Undergraduate Exhibitions are free and open to the public.
