Undergraduate Research


The Symposium

The Undergraduate Research & Scholarship Symposium, in it's eleventh year, celebrates the many contributions made by Tufts undergraduates to scholarship and research advances. It includes presentations by undergraduates from all disciplines: natural sciences, social sciences, engineering, humanities, the arts, and international relations.

The Symposium provides a great forum to meet other undergraduate researchers and exchange interdisciplinary ideas. Additionally, it will be an opportunity to present research before Tufts faculty members and student peers. Thesis writers take note--the Symposium is a great way to fine tune your presentation skills.

Last year's Symposium was held on April 3, 2009.
