The Student Research Symposium is an event for the presentation and recognition of student scholarship (both graduate and undergraduate). Students with any major in the university, in any college or school of the university, graduate or undergraduate are invited to participate. All students who have participated with faculty or under faculty supervision -- for example, as part of a senior seminar, independent study, or supervised work -- in original, independent research, critical reviews, laboratory projects or field studies eligible to present their work as a poster presentation. The presentation titles of last year's SRS can be found below.

The 2013 SRS is scheduled for the afternoon of Friday, May 3. The abstract submission deadline is April 3. Please go to the SRS abstract submission page to register your poster presentation for the symposium after March 3. The 2012 presentations are listed below.

Those students who wish to present their research at the Student Research Symposium should consult with a faculty advisor and submit an abstract (abstract instructions).
