Are you a student on the brink of a new discovery? Do you have academic research, artistic work, or a class assignment that you’d like to share with the NSU community? If so, then consider submitting your work for the Undergraduate Student Symposium.
What is the Undergraduate Student Symposium?
The annual symposium, sponsored by the Farquhar College of Arts and Sciences, is a one-day event showcasing the outstanding scholarship of undergraduate students at NSU. The symposium features student projects and performances through oral presentations, paper submissions, and poster displays.
What kind of work classifies as “scholarship”?
Projects cover areas ranging from the experimental, the applied, and the computational to the theoretical, artistic, and literary. This includes class assignments and independent projects. The research does not have to be complete; presentations can represent any stage of a project’s evolution, from proposal and literature review to finalized experiments.
Scholarship within the following academic disciplines is welcome: biological and physical sciences, social and behavioral sciences, computer science, mathematics, humanities, nursing, education, and business. Academic work in the following fields is also welcome: creative writing, journalism, literary analysis, philosophical and historical analysis, and public speaking (informative or persuasive).
Who can submit work?
Undergraduate students from all NSU disciplines are welcome to participate in the symposium.
What should you do now if you are interested in participating?
Students should contact their academic division or college for more information, and seek a faculty sponsor for their project.
The 2011 Undergraduate Student Symposium will take place on Friday, Apr. 8. For more information or to apply, visit www.fcas.nova.edu/currentstudents/uss. The deadline for student submissions is Friday, Feb. 25, by 5:00 p.m. Click here to view photos taken at last year’s symposium.
