- Create a narrative about their research
- Design a poster that reflects their research
- Build relationships with students and staff at Ohio State
The series is open to students of all levels who have an interest in building their skills and knowledge of undergraduate research at Ohio State.

Denman Destress is your chance to take a breath before the big day. Hosted one week ahead of the Denman Research Forum, this relaxed drop‑in event gives participants a calm space to unwind, refocus, and get ready to shine.
Students can bring their projects to work on, ask last‑minute questions, get feedback, run through your presentation and connect with others who are also preparing for the forum. Whether you want feedback, quiet work time, or simply a supportive environment to ease the nerves, Denman Destress offers a low‑pressure setting to help you feel confident and prepared.
A little calm goes a long way—come recharge, meet fellow presenters, and set yourself up for a strong Denman experience.
