Lyman Briggs College Research Showcase

Each spring LBC hosts a student research showcase. This is a great opportunity and welcoming environment for students to:

  • Share your work from your research lab, honors option or class project with fellow students
  • Learn about the other research of Briggsies, whether within LBC or elsewhere on campus
  • Build your resume
  • Potentially win a cash award

Who can participate?

You can:

  • If you have done research with a faculty member, as an honors option or as part of a class
  • If you have already prepared a poster presentation for UURAF, the Diversity Research Showcase, Mid-SURE, or other research showcases or conferences since February 2025.
  • If you wish to pre-record a research talk (5-10 minutes)
  • If you have work-in progress that you want to share

Independent research and honors options presentations will be eligible to win prizes. A panel of LBC alumni will evaluate presentations and select winners.

Awards will recognize outstanding presentations across a range of areas.

Registration

Registration will be available in early 2026.

We look forward to hosting you at the LBC Research Showcase and learning about your research!

2025 UURAF--there are three sessions roughly the same size--with hundreds of presenters on the floor of the Breslin Center.

The largest research showcase on campus is the University Undergraduate Research and Arts Forum (UURAF-pronounced you-raff). The showcase provides Michigan State undergraduate students with an opportunity to showcase their scholarship and creative activity. Held each spring, UURAF brings together an intellectual community of undergraduate students to share their work with faculty, staff, peers, and external audiences.

The next UURAF will take place Friday, April 17, 2026 at the Breslin Center and online. Find out more information on the UURAF webpage of Office of Undergraduate Research website.
