The 10th Annual
Colby Undergraduate Research Symposium
April 29 - May 1, 2009
The Colby Undergraduate Research Symposium, held annually in the spring, sees
hundreds of Colby students present significant projects as talks, poster
presentations, and performances. A keynote address kicks off the symposium on
the first night.
Begun in 2000, the symposium was organized by Dean of Faculty Ed Yeterian as
part of a National Science Foundation AIRE (Award for Integration of Research
and Education) grant that recognized Colby's ambitious research agenda as a
model for undergraduate education and helped to expand it.
Colby is committed to, and has been extraordinarily successful at, engaging as
many students as possible in significant research projects that lead to
presentations before their peers, at professional meetings, and in refereed
publications. The research symposium is a College-wide, cross-departmental
forum that gives students a broader audience for their work. It expands upon
departmental forums for presentations and provides an arena for
interdisciplinary presentations.
Information from symposia going back to 2003, including hundreds of abstracts
from student presentations, is archived in links in the left-hand column, and
additional information about this year's program accumulates as the symposium
approaches.
