Symposium for Student Research, Scholarship, and Creative Achievement
2025 SYMPOSIUM FOR STUDENT RESEARCH, SCHOLARSHIP, AND CREATIVE ACHIEVEMENT
The Symposium for Student Research, Scholarship, and Creative Achievement is traditionally a single-day event, being held on Thursday, April 17, 2025, that is designed to showcase undergraduate and graduate student work. More details will be provided to students and mentors after the abstract submission process is complete.
Students from all academic fields are eligible to participate, along with a faculty or staff sponsor. Students are asked to provide a 300-word abstract/summary describing the project. Abstracts must be reviewed and approved by the sponsor before being submitted. Authors of these abstracts will have the choice of creating a poster, making a 10-15 minute oral presentation, or creating an art exhibit, demonstration, or music, dance, or spoken word performance.
The mandatory format to be used for your abstract can be found here. Please use this format to upload your abstract in CORE.

Students and faculty sponsors receive a notification if their submission was accepted after all submissions are received and reviewed.
