BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Undergraduate students in the University at Buffalo School of Management will have the opportunity to showcase their best research and class projects, internship experiences and leadership initiatives at the DEAL (Display of Efforts, Aptitudes and Leadership) Expo at 9 a.m. on March 23 in the Alfiero Center.

A $1,000 prize will be awarded for the best poster. Additional prizes will include $500 for second place, $250 for third place and $250 for the Open House Choice award. School of Management faculty members will serve as the judges.

The School of Management is providing funding for the prizes and other event expenses. UB’s Center for Undergraduate Research & Creative Activities (CURCA) is funding the posters, so there is no cost for student entries.
