The GEARS Research Symposium is an event designed to bring our entire research community together. It stands as the only platform on campus that unites both undergraduate and graduate students to showcase their work in a professional poster session.
Why Participate?
-
Showcase Your Excellence: Present your latest findings to the university community and gain recognition for your hard work.
-
Forge New Connections: Network with fellow researchers across all levels, from freshmen to Ph.D. candidates, fostering collaboration beyond your lab.
-
Interdisciplinary Impact: Learn how to communicate complex ideas to a broad audience, a vital skill for any successful career.
The Interdisciplinary Challenge
A hallmark of the Research Symposium is our diverse panel of judges. Student presentations are evaluated by faculty members from all three colleges:
-
COEIT (Engineering & Information Technology)
-
CNMS (Natural & Mathematical Sciences)
-
CAHSS (Arts, Humanities, & Social Sciences)
Presenting to experts outside your specific field challenges you to refine your “elevator pitch” and demonstrates the real-world impact of your research to a vast audience.
Join the Conversation
Whether you are presenting your findings or looking to see the cutting-edge research happening across campus, we invite you to be part of this tradition.
Attend. Present. Connect.
