SURP Research Day

This exciting event highlights the innovative research conducted by our Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP) students throughout the summer and provides an authentic conference-style experience where they can share their discoveries with faculty, graduate students, peers, and the broader research community.

Students will present their work through poster and podium presentations, showcasing the breadth and impact of their research projects. Beyond the presentations, Research Day offers valuable opportunities to connect with fellow researchers, build professional networks, and engage in meaningful scientific discussions.

The event also features a keynote presentation by a distinguished IMS faculty member and concludes with an awards ceremony recognizing outstanding student achievements.
