Above: Over 80 undergraduate students from all disciplines participated at the 2022 SURE Symposium. The symposium was a success following a hybrid format, which made the presentations accessible via Zoom or in person.
Welcome to the SURE Symposium
The 2024 SURE Symposium will be on August 2, 2024 and will follow a limited hybrid format.
The symposium is an end-of-summer event where undergraduate students conducting faculty-mentored research and creative work in all disciplines get to showcase their projects. The SURE Symposium provides students an excellent opportunity to solicit feedback from their peers, experts, and community members without formal presentation judging. The event is free to attend and provides a professional, yet relaxed atmosphere!
