Research Symposium


The 14th Annual
Colby Undergraduate Research Symposium
May 1 - 3, 2013

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.

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.

About the Research Symposium

Begun in 2000, the symposium was initially organized 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. More >
