Graduate Research Symposium

Information needed for abstract submission:

• Name of author, email, department, & school
• Name of group members (if submitting as a group)
• Name of faculty advisor & email
• Title of research
• Abstract (350 word maximum)

Note: As our submission form only accepts on abstract per user, projects with multiple authors should choose one person to submit on behalf of the entire group.

Thanks to our generous departmental and organizational sponsors, there are numerous monetary awards available. Judges from each school and department will utilize the in-person event and the virtual platform Symposium by ForagerOne to evaluate student research and determine award winners.
