If you have any interest in graduate school, research experience is a huge plus. But even if you don\u2019t, doing research about a topic or industry related to your career goals can give you experience investigating something in-depth as well as providing you with something to talk about in interviews that will set you apart.<\/span><\/p>\n Contact Professor\u00a0Josh Boyd<\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n If you pursue one of the four options listed on the\u00a0program description page<\/a><\/span>, contact\u00a0Professor Josh Boyd<\/a><\/span>\u00a0and he\u2019ll walk you through the process.<\/span><\/p>\n You can be a co-author. Only students majoring in communication, however, are eligible.<\/span><\/p>\n Yes. It\u2019s generally a good idea to take advantage of your instructor\u2019s feedback to revise that paper before submitting it to a conference.<\/span><\/p>\n No. Nice try, though.<\/span><\/p>\n Ask. If you find a professor doing work that interests you, or if you have a research idea that\u2019s completely your own, just talk to one of your communication professors and ask for help.<\/span><\/p>\n It’s only been around since 2019! And yes, it\u2019s reliable\u2014if you get accepted to a conference, you\u2019ll get support from the Lamb School.<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s always important to follow directions, and conference deadlines are generally very strict. The\u00a0list of conferences<\/span>\u00a0<\/a>will give you an idea of when those deadlines are.<\/span><\/p>\n Yes, up to the Purdue undergraduate career maximum amount of money\u00a0listed under each category<\/span>.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Different conferences have slightly different requirements, so read the instructions carefully. But we believe that most or all of the conferences on our list will be open to Purdue undergraduates majoring in communication.<\/span><\/p>\n Conferences usually have housing options or recommendations: either on-campus temporary housing or hotels. The Lamb School will reimburse you for the cost of housing.<\/span><\/p>\n First, understand what kind of responsibility you have:\u00a0 is it a paper or a poster?\u00a0 If it\u2019s a paper, you should prepare about a 10-minute presentation highlighting the most interesting or important things about your project.\u00a0Do not<\/strong>\u00a0just plan to read your paper; there won’t be enough time, and it would be too boring.\u00a0 If it\u2019s a poster, contact\u00a0Professor Josh Boyd<\/a><\/span>\u00a0to access Purdue resources to print a large poster-sized report on your research.<\/span><\/p>\n No, you must still be an undergraduate student in the Lamb School to be eligible.<\/span><\/p>\n Unless you plan to continue your education in graduate school at Purdue, probably not. Purdue can only reimburse current students.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Why should I participate in the undergraduate research program?
