Mississippi State鈥檚 spring Undergraduate Research Symposium will be held April 13-14 in the Colvard Student Union.

This event is open to all undergraduate students engaged in research and provides the opportunity for students to showcase faculty-guided research and creative activity. Students from diverse departments, colleges and research centers across campus and other universities participate in poster and oral presentation sessions.

聽There are two important modifications from last year:

鈥擱eplacing the main competition judging with use of comment cards.聽聽Students provided positive feedback about the use of comment cards during the past summer showcase.聽These were noted as being helpful for their growth as researchers, for providing timely feedback and for being inclusive of varied types of audiences (from research specialists to peers to other research consumers).聽Sponsorship and efforts will be devoted to supporting this activity.聽The university will solicit help from faculty, research staff and graduate students by visiting URS projects and providing comments to student researchers.

鈥擱equest for proposals for new sub-competitions.聽We recognize competitions can be motivating, and judging for these are best handled by experts in specific fields.聽Competitions beyond the general categories can be more meaningful and better evaluated.聽In addition, much research cuts across disciplines and may be theme-driven, and sub-competitions can best evaluate that work.聽Departments, colleges and other units are encouraged to consider planning and supporting a sub-competition.聽If interested in more information, email聽urcd@msstate.edu聽for a fact sheet about sub-competitions.聽The deadline to get involved is聽Nov 15.

It is exciting that the spring Undergraduate Research Symposium and summer Undergraduate Research Showcase at 绿巨人视频have been hallmark events for students and growing in popularity. 聽This past year featured 288 projects and more than 400 visitors. These events cost approximately $20,000 annually to host.聽We appreciate funds to help with the costs.聽To help sponsor the Undergraduate Research Symposium, email Corrine Jackson at聽cjackson@honors.msstate.edu.
