College of Arts & Sciences Undergraduate Research Festival 2026
The College of Arts & Sciences is proud to host the Undergraduate Research Festival on April 17, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in the Milton Atrium of the Life Sciences Complex.
This annual celebration highlights the depth, rigor, and creativity of undergraduate scholarship across disciplines, from the sciences and social sciences to the humanities and interdisciplinary research.
Following last year’s format, the festival will feature one unified session, bringing the entire research community together in a single, collaborative space.
- Poster presentations will take place in the Life Sciences Complex Milton Atrium.
- 5–10 minute oral presentations will be held in designated classrooms within the Life Sciences Building and the Center for Science & Technology.
An exciting addition to the 2026 festival is the College of Arts & Sciences Undergraduate Research Festival: Dean’s Advisory Board Showcase.
On the evening of Thursday, April 16, selected students will have the opportunity to present their research posters at an exclusive dinner with the College’s Dean’s Advisory Board – a distinguished group of alumni and key constituents.
This special event offers a more intimate presentation setting and direct engagement with accomplished alumni. This can be your chance to discuss research with influential supporters of the College.
Students who are interested in being considered for this showcase can opt in through the Poster Presentation registration form (listed as Question 9).
