The annual Undergraduate Research & Creative Activities Symposium provides an opportunity for undergraduate students from all disciplines to share their research and creative activities with the UCR community. Students may present their work in a variety of ways, such as oral presentations, poster sessions, art exhibits, performances, and electronic media.
This year's symposium presentations will be hosted in a hybrid model, where Completed & Emerging Research presentations will be presented live via Zoom (must register to attend). Poster Presentations will be hosted in-person on Pierce Lawn, near UCR's Bell Tower (no registration required). Please see the schedule for a listing of all student presentations and Zoom registration.
The symposium will host presentations from students across all UCR colleges, including:
- College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences (CHASS)
- College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences (CNAS)
- Marlan and Rosemary Bourns College of Engineering (BCOE)
- School of Business (SOB)
