Workshops

The Undergraduate Research Program offers a variety of information sessions and workshops associated with the Undergraduate Research Symposium.

Symposium information sessions

Symposium information sessions are designed to introduce students to the Undergraduate Research Symposium, the application process, and the day-of procedures.

Abstract writing workshops

Abstract writing workshops include information on what exactly is an abstract, how to write one, and what information to include. If you already have a draft, you may also bring this to the session for feedback.

Poster design workshop
