Event Information

The Undergraduate Research Office will host the Fall 2026 Intersections Poster Symposium on Friday, December 4, 2026, from 11:30 AM to 2:00 PM in the Veale Convocation, Recreation, and Athletic Center.

Any undergraduate student participating in CWRU or CWRU affiliated faculty-mentored research and/or creative projects is eligible to register for Intersections. Research can be at any stage of the process, from initial exploration to final findings.

Deadlines:

Please complete and submit your registration—including the final abstract—by Thursday, November 5, 2026, at 11:59pm. NOTE: Do not start a submission without having all elements that are required ready to be submitted (this includes the abstract). This is a one step process.

Approval Requirement: Your submission must be approved via the Campus Groups workflow by the Faculty Member Overseeing the Research/Principal Investigator no later than Monday, November 9, 2026, at 11:59pm. Unapproved submissions will not be eligible to participate. If the PI or the Undergraduate Research Office (URO) sends back edits, corrections must be made within 48 hours.

Before You Register 

  1. Review the Registration How-To
  2. Prepare your abstract. The abstract must be 300 words or fewer, provide a succinct overview of your work, and comply with the Abstract Guidelines. There are Sample Abstracts available for your review as well.
  3. Inform your faculty project mentor (and Principal Investigator - PI) that you plan to present at Intersections.
    • The person overseeing your research, and thus who will approve the abstract submission, is not a graduate student, post-doc, or lab staff. This is either the faculty mentor/PI or in some cases a class instructor.
    • Again, this person MUST approve your abstract in order to be allowed to present at Intersections.
    • After you submit the abstract, they will receive an email from Campus Groups directing them to approve your abstract. The approval is the final required step in the registration process.
  4. If you are presenting as a group, determine who will complete the registration form and abstract submission. The submitter must be a CWRU undergraduate student. Groups are restricted to one registration submission. Do NOT have multiple group members submit the same project.
  5. Still have questions? Refer to the Intersections FAQs. If your questions are not answered there, email ugresearch@case.edu.

What to Expect After Registration

  • Begin preparing your poster: Consider attending a poster presentation workshop and review poster printing guidelines.
  • Event details:
    • The Undergraduate Research Office will inform presenters of their poster numbers and time slot no less than one week before the event.
    • The Intersections Event Page will go live a few days before the event, with links to the floor plan, presenter list, and abstract compendium.
    • Presenters are responsible for printing their own posters.
    • The Undergraduate Research Office will provide an easel, a board to hang the poster, and clips.  

About Abstract Approval

Guide for Faculty/PIs - Intersections Review and Approval

Undergraduate research is always faculty mentored. Most undergraduate researchers' faculty mentors are the Principal Investigator who is the faculty member who "owns" the research, oversees the lab, hires the Post Docs, etc. The Undergraduate Research Office must know that this person approves of your plan to present your project at Intersections. We know this when they approve the abstract via Campus Groups.

CWRU students need not have conducted the research on the Case Western Reserve campus to present at Intersections (e.g. students who want to present their summer research). The research must have been done when students were undergraduates and not prior to your college enrollment. Presenters must provide the name, institution and email of the non-CWRU mentor (and PI if different) with whom they worked. The project mentor (or PI if different) must approve the research presentation by approving the abstract submission.
