12th Annual Jackson School Student Research Symposium

 

2023 Symposium Abstracts

 

The 2023 symposium will be held on February 11, 2023

Each spring semester, Jackson School students participate in a day-long research poster extravaganza!

The goal of the Symposium is to provide cross-disciplinary collaboration among graduate students, undergraduate students, and faculty/research scientists at the Jackson School.

Traditionally, judges comprised of faculty, research scientists, and industry representatives evaluate the posters and awards are presented at the closing ceremony. Feedback is also provided to participants after the symposium.

Abstract deadline: February 1, 2023                                      

Morning and afternoon poster sessions will each have two full judging categories represented. Judges will only be assigned to one judging category.
