URS Registration
16th Annual Undergraduate Research Symposium Registration Deadlines
Because of the generous sponsorship of the Elliott T. Bowers Honors College, the URS is FREE to all who register to present or attend. To mark the URS experience, our sponsors provide breakfast & seated lunch, scholarship awards for presenters, and souvenirs for all attendees.
Student Presenters
The primary purpose of the URS is to give Sam Houston State University undergraduate students an opportunity to present their research at a professional conference. As an undergraduate student, you will be expected to share your work later in your career either as a graduate student or in the professional world. The URS is a great way to gain constructive feedback from an assigned faculty moderator, and gain experience presenting your work in a congenial and positive environment.
At the URS, you can also expect to meet like-minded individuals who share an interest in academia and to network with other SHSU students and faculty. Most importantly, you will leave with the prestige of presenting at a professional conference.
All student presenters must register on or before the deadline of Wednesday, March 15, 2023.
