Fifth Annual SPA Undergraduate Research Symposium

The Fifth Annual SPA Undergraduate Research Symposium provided a forum for undergraduate students to present their original scholarly and creative work before colleagues, friends, and faculty. Cash awards were given for the best presentations, and top students will be recognized at the annual SPA Awards Ceremony.

The symposium is open to all levels of undergraduate students, from freshmen to seniors. To apply, you only need to be enrolled in a course in SPA during AY 2012-2013. Students from CAS, KSB, SIS, and SOC are welcome to present their work if it was done for an SPA course. Please be aware that the symposium uses the term “research” to include creative and performance work as well as formal research.
