Symposia


Undergraduate Research Programs offers opportunities each fall and spring semester for Emory students from all disciplines to present posters about their research. Symposium presenters gain important skills and connections through:

  • Telling other students about their research. 

  • Practicing presentation skills. 

  • Learning from other student researchers.

  • Telling faculty, parents, and others about undergraduate research at Emory. 

  • Sharing data and research with those outside of their field of study.

Fall Undergraduate Research Panel and Showcase

The Fall 2022 Undergraduate Research Panel and Showcase will take place as a virtual event as part of Emory Parent’s Weekend. 

Watch one of our previous Undergraduate Research Panel and Showcase presentaions.

Spring Undergraduate Research Symposium

During Undergraduate Research Week, on Monday, April 24, 2023 from 12:00 PM to 7:00 PM EST undergraduate researchers from across Emory University will present their research for all to see at the Emory Student Center. 

The Spring Undergraduate Research Symposium has students present work from all fields including Humanities, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, and Creative & Performing Arts. All Emory students are welcome to present.

Presentation Format

Participants in the undergraduate research symposia can apply to give either oral or poster presentations.

Students opting to give poster presentations should visit our Creating a Poster page for instructions on formatting your poster. Prepare a five-minute presentation to share the highlights of your research with the people who visit your poster.

Oral presentation slots are limited but students may indicate they prefer an oral presentation on the abstract submission form. Oral presentations will be fifteen minutes each. Presenters should plan on presenting for 10-12 minutes and leave 3-5 minutes for questions and discussion.

Attending a Symposium

Faculty, students, friends, and families are welcome to attend our symposia. When you arrive, stop by our information table to look through the abstract booklet or receive the link to the online booklet and learn about our other programs and events.

Then, take a walk through the poster presentations. Stop and listen to the presentation at a poster that interests you or at one that covers a subject you are not familiar with. Questions are encouraged! Your questions may help a presenter to identify unclear points of their presentation or new avenues to explore.
