Requirements
All students are encouraged to submit their work for inclusion in the Student Interdisciplinary Symposium. Any student wishing to have their research project included may due so so long as it meets with the symposium requirements.
The symposium will feature poster sessions, round table discussions, oral presentations, and information tables. If your project does not fit into one of these formats, please contact Dr. Molina for additional possibilities.
The presentation can be on a research project, Service Learning project, Honors project, or other scholarly work you are currently working on or have worked on in the past which you are especially proud of and would like to share.
The project should relate to all or part of the symposium theme, Politics of Identity.
All projects require that a member of the faculty mentor you through the process of research and preparation for the symposium.
Specific guidelines on how to prepare your presentations are listed below.
