About the Symposium

The annual Student Research Symposium provides an opportunity for UAFS students to present what they have learned from their research experience to fellow students, faculty, and the community. The Student Research Symposium includes poster and oral presentation sessions across all academic disciplines.  This year's symposium will be an asynchronous virtual event and will be available on-line April 19, 2021.  The deadline for application submissions is Monday, March 1, 2021.

Students actively carrying out research should apply. Students not involved in research are encouraged to attend and learn about the broad range of research being done at UAFS. This symposium allows students to learn from one another and become involved in interdisciplinary discourse.
