About the Annual Conference

The annual University Research Conference provides undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to deeply engage in and connect with their chosen disciplines while developing valuable presentation skills and showcasing great work.

Many students find that their research efforts produce materials useful for high-quality resumes, portfolios, curricula vitae, and publication. The conference also enables the University community to celebrate students' intellectual achievement and explore the growth and development of innovative research in the classroom.
