Wiley Research Exposition (Wiley Research Exposition) on February 21, 2014. The Wiley Research Exposition provides WSU students the opportunity to present their research or scholarship among their peers, faculty and the WSU community in an academic conference-like atmosphere.

All students currently enrolled on any of the Washington State University campuses are eligible to present at the Wiley Research Exposition; however only graduate and professional students are eligible to compete for awards.
