The Fall 2023 Undergraduate Research Symposium is here!
This fall's symposium will coincide with Parent & Family Weekend, taking place from 10AM - 2PM on Friday, October 27.
The event will showcase the diverse range of research, creative and experiential learning projects conducted by WashU undergraduate students and mentored by WashU faculty. It provides an important opportunity for undergraduate students to share their research, engage in peer networking and cross-disciplinary conversations, and develop presentation skills.
