In 2011, over 900 undergraduates participated in the Symposium, with more than 3500 people attending.
The Symposium includes projects from all disciplines and encourages interdisciplinary discourse, allowing students to learn from each other about a broad range of exciting research topics. To help participants prepare, the URP conducts Symposium abstract writing workshops , poster design and presentation workshops. Participant abstracts are published in the Symposium Proceedings, and students can include their presentations on resumes and graduate school applications. Questions about the Symposium?

The Annual Undergraduate Research Symposium is a chance for undergraduates
to present what they have learned through their research experiences to
a larger audience. The Symposium also provides a forum for students, faculty,
and the community to discuss cutting edge research topics and to examine
the connection between research and education. The Symposium includes poster
and presentation sessions by students from all academic disciplines and
all three UW campuses, plus invited guests.
