Undergraduate Research Symposium - Abstracts due soon!

Hello Young Researchers,

I hope your week has gone well so far, what with midterms and the cold weather hanging around our shoulders. Nevertheless, I have some good news for all you researchers out there that will hopefully make a bright spot in your week.

There is an exciting opportunity happening on Thursday, November 29. It will be the SU's 7th annual Undergraduate Research Symposium and you are all invited to present any research you have conducted during the summer months or earlier.

Deadlines for abstract submission are due on October 29th so be sure to take advantage of this great opportunity to showcase your research and meet other researchers from several faculties around campus. Several prizes are to be awarded to the best posters so be sure to apply!

Even if you haven't done any research in the past, this is a good stepping stone for discovering what types of research you are interested in, finding ways to get involved, meet other like-minded individuals, and learn the latest discoveries in a number of disciplines.

More details can be found in the poster below and clicking the poster will bring you to their website!

Wish you all the best in all your endeavours!
