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 >
