5th Annual U-RISE Summer Research Symposium
Friday, August 26th, 2022
Castetter Hall, room 100
3:00-6:30 pm
.
This event will feature presentations communicating early research findings from our U-RISE scholars. Our presentations will be brief talks that will be 10 to 12 minutes with 3 minutes of Q&A, which will include slides for visual aid purposes. These presentations are meant to disseminate early research findings to a large, diverse group for rapid feedback.
