Library Undergraduate Research Award: Symposium

Tenth Annual
Undergraduate Research Symposium

Library Undergraduate Research Award Presentation, 6:30-7:00 p.m.

Do you have big ideas? Have you spent countless hours in the library's databases seeking sources for a research paper? Have you been toiling away in a lab analyzing the products of a chemical reaction? Have you participated in a travel course and visited the subject of your research firsthand? Have you written a paper for a course that you are particularly proud of? All Saint Rose students are invited to share the results of their research efforts at the annual Undergraduate Research Symposium.

The Symposium is an opportunity for undergraduates to present their research projects to faculty, peers, and other members of the Saint Rose community. This experience can be especially valuable to students who will be participating in other regional or national conferences or for those interested in pursuing a graduate degree. All participants must submit a project abstract, prepare a formal research poster, and attend the Symposium in order to answer any questions visitors might have. Symposium participants are also encouraged to compete for the Library Undergraduate Research Award. Cash prizes will be awarded to the best research projects in two broad categories: Math & Science and Arts, Humanities, & Social Sciences.

Are you wondering what sorts of projects students have submitted to the Symposium in the past? Check out the abstracts from the 7th Symposium, which took place April 19, 2016. Please send an email to researchsymposium(at)strose.edu if you have any questions about the Symposium.

To participate in the symposium please submit the following information in the text of an email to researchsymposium (at) strose.edu by 5:00 p.m., Friday, April 5th or fill out the form below:

1. Name (as you wish it to appear in the program)
2. Major
3. Research Supervisor or Mentor
4. Project Title (to appear in the program)
5. Project Abstract of 75-100 words (to appear in the program)

The Symposium organizing committee will respond to your abstract submission via email.

The Poster

All Symposium participants must prepare an academic poster. While the Symposium does not enforce strict guidelines when it comes to poster content and layout we do encourage students to follow recommended research poster guidelines for your general field of study (i.e. the Humanities, Social Sciences, STEM, etc.). See resources below or search online for more specific guidelines for your general field of study. The maximum dimensions for posters is 36" x 48".

The cost of printing your poster is covered by the Symposium organizing committee. You will receive printing instructions from the committee after you submit your abstract.
