Undergraduate and graduate students from all majors across campus are invited to participate in the new INSPIRE Virtual Student Research & Engagement Conference on April 12-13, 2021.
The combined conference will be an opportunity for students to showcase the wide variety of experiential activities in which they participate inside and outside of the classroom, including research, internship, volunteer or study abroad experiences, club activities and/or creative performances.
Submissions open on March 2, 2021, and are due March 22, 2021. Projects still “in progress” at the time of submission are eligible to be presented.

In Spring 2021, the Annual Graduate Student Symposium was combined with CSBS' annual student conference to maximize the virtual experience. To view previous graduate student work, please visit the ScholarWorks archive.
