Members of the Board of Regents, Universities of Wisconsin Administration, legislators, and representatives of the Governor's Office are invited to view the displays. The SRCEL office covers the registration and transportation costs for students selected to attend this annual spring event.
Students selected to present will have the option to provide a 3- to 5-minute presentation video in addition to their poster.
Students interested in attending should send an email containing the following information to be considered to represent UWL at the event:

Research in the Rotunda 2025 will be Wednesday, April 2, 2025, at the Capitol in Madison.
