The Undergraduate Research Spring Symposium provides students an opportunity to give oral and poster presentations about their scholarly work and is followed by an Awards Gala where we celebrate outstanding student researchers.  This event is happening on Thursday, April 24th this year.  The whole campus and wider community is invited to participate!  Join us throughout the day and come to the gala where we will watch student TED-like talks, see the debut of this year's Scholars' Video, and recognize the 2025 UGR Scholar Award winners.
