As an undergraduate or graduate student in the IU School of Public Health-Bloomington, you'll discover opportunities to work closely with our faculty on public health–related research.
Research that improves communities
2026 School of Public Health-Bloomington Research Day
Upcoming event: Friday, April 10, 2026.
Info coming soon.
Please note that we moved lunch to during the lecture.
Undergraduate, master's-level, and Ph.D. students will present their posters in the Bill Garrett Fieldhouse containing:
- Their research findings
-Supporting data
-Graphs, charts, tables, or other scientific visual aids
-A concise explanation of their research
As is customary at similar events, each presenting student will be available next to their printed poster to explain their project and answer questions. A group of select SPH-B faculty judges will name a winner in the undergraduate, master's, and Ph.D. categories.
