The “elevator speech” comes from the business world, where a chance encounter with a potential investor, employer or other VIP on the elevator provides the opportunity to make a brief pitch about yourself or your idea. The SNR Elevator Speech Contest provides an opportunity for SNR students, undergraduate and graduate level, to practice presenting their research to non-scientists.

It is held in conjunction with the undergraduate and graduate Poster Contest sponsored by the SNR Graduate Student Association.

Poster Contest – 6:00 pm
Elevator Speech Contest – 7:00 pm
