2021 Research Symposium Series

$1,300 in Cash Prizes and UBER EATS for your meal

The Research Symposium Series (RSS) is a department-sponsored forum for graduate students and advanced-level undergraduates to present their research to a general audience. The RSS is designed to facilitate student-faculty discussions of research, provide opportunities for students to develop their technical presentation skills, and promote the research activities of the department. Due to COVID-19, the research symposium series will be held virtually. Attendees will be provided with an UBER EATS card to order food at each seminar.

The best graduate student presentations will be awarded $500 for first place, $300 for second place and $200 for third place. Best undergraduate student presentation will be awarded $150. In addition, all abstracts will be judged for clarity and content. The author of the best abstract will receive $150.

Call for Presentations

If you are interested in presenting your research work in the Research Symposium Series, please visit the RSS website and submit your abstract. Abstracts are limited to 200 words and a written paper is not required. Further details, including abstract and presenter evaluation criteria, may be found on the RSS webpage. The abstract submission window is from Feb. 1 - March 12, 2021.
