The College of Arts and Sciences congratulates the undergraduate researchers who received awards at the 2023 Richard J. and Martha D. Denman Undergraduate Research Forum. 22 students from 14 majors placed in their respective categories, with all sections except one including Arts and Sciences representation.

The Denman Forum provides an opportunity for graduating student researchers to share their research endeavors with the broader community.  This is Ohio State's only competitive poster forum in which winners are recognized in each category as determined by faculty, staff, and Denman alumni reviewers. Students are reviewed on their ability to communicate their research process and results effectively in both their written poster content and accompanying oral presentation.  During the Denman Forum, the university community celebrates not only the hard work of these students, but also the dedication of their faculty research mentors.
