Congratulations to everyone who presented at the 2008 SEARCH Symposium!  

 

At the annual SEARCH Symposium, students from all disciplines present their work and receive professional feedback.  Projects are presented through performance, visual arts, 3-dimensional models, posters and oral presentation.  The symposium provides undergraduate researchers valuable presentation experience while meeting other students and faculty involved in multiple areas of research.

The 2008 SEARCH Symposium was held on Friday, April 11, in Pierson Auditorium. There were a total of 51 presentations comprised of seven oral, 18 visual displays, and 28 posters. First and second place winners received a $100 or $50 award, respectively.
