Posters at the Capitol
On February 1, 2006, Tennessee joined a dozen other states by exposing state legislators to undergraduate research through the first-ever Tennessee Posters at the Capitol. On February 15, 2023, this annual tradition carried on as fifty-one undergraduate students from seven public universities presented their research through posters at the Tennessee State Capitol in Nashville. These students were selected to represent the best of undergraduate research in STEM disciplines at their institutions. Legislators met students from their districts and saw first-hand the outstanding research being conducted by undergraduates across the state.

Goals
The Poster at the Capitol project, hosted by Middle Tennessee State University, has two goals - to expose legislators to undergraduate researchers and to expose undergraduates to their legislators. The state of Tennessee is the beneficiary of this exciting effort.
