The purpose of the Student Research Symposium is to showcase both
undergraduate and graduate science research in a relaxed,
interdisciplinary setting. Any science student involved in research is
encouraged to give a poster presentation at this event. |
 |
Participation in the Symposium will offer students practical
experience in giving presentations in a professional (but relaxed)
setting, but it will also be a fun social event in which students can learn
about research happening in other departments. There also will be live
entertainment, free food, and awards.
If you are a student interested in participating in this event, discuss this
with your research advisor, and submit a poster (see top links).
