RISE 2026 Directory of Presenters
Join us for RISE on April 8-10, 2026!
RISE is the showcase for research and creative projects being undertaken by everyone at Northeastern: learners from every year of study, every major, every campus. Undergraduate and graduate students are invited to share work that will be presented live at the poster expo on RISE Expo day (April 9) or as a talk during one of the oral presentation sessions (April 8 and 10).
When presenter information is finalized in early April, check back here to get excited about the projects being showcased across RISE!
Before you attend, here’s some advice to consider.
Let curiosity, not fear, be your guide. It’s okay to be a bit nervous — we often hear from folks that they don’t know what to say or might feel a bit out of their depth. Don’t worry! All of our presenters are excited to share their research or creative projects with you — and have been practicing telling their tales for a sophisticated, but general audience, like you.
Some questions to start a conversation. Eager to learn more but not sure how to start a conversation? Here are some great questions sure to engage our student presenters:
- What did you learn during your project that came as a surprise or challenged your preconceived ideas?
- How has this project supplemented or changed your views on what you’ve learned in courses, co-op, and co-curriculars?
- What prompted you to get started? What’s exciting or fascinating about the work you’re doing in this project, in particular?
- What’s have you learned?
- What’s next for the project — and what’s next for you, having done it?
- If you could tell someone only one thing about the project, what would it be?
RISE Virtual Gallery. We’re excited to be able to share all of the RISE posters you’ll see in Cabot Cage plus more from our Global Campus Network, in our virtual gallery. You can see all of the posters there and leave comments before and after the event. To gain access to the virtual gallery, you’ll need to register for RISE. RISE registration for attendees will open in early April. Once registration opens: Create an account — or use an existing Google or LinkedIn identification to proceed to the very brief form. Once registered, head to the RISE Program. You’ll create a commenting profile and then have access to the full poster gallery.
RISE is a collaboration between Bouvé College of Health Sciences; College of Arts, Media and Design; College of Engineering; College of Professional Studies; College of Science; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; D’Amore-McKim School of Business; and Khoury College of Computer Science.
