Anna Quider, director of Federal Relations for NIU, talks to summer research students about her role on behalf of the university.
NIU’s Office of Student Engagement and Experiential Learning will host the third annual Summer Research Symposium from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday, Aug. 7, in Altgeld Hall.
Undergraduate students who have participated in faculty-mentored research or artistry projects will showcase their work through posters and oral presentations.
The three main summer programs include the Summer Research Opportunities Program (SROP); the Latino Oral History Project (a subprogram of SROP); and the McKearn Fellows program. Each program gives students the opportunity to conduct full-time research with established NIU faculty and participate in professional development workshops.
Students participating in the Undergraduate Research Assistantship program, the Undergraduate Special Opportunities in Artistry & Research program and the University Honors Program also will present.
The Summer Research Symposium is free and open to the public. Students interested in a summer research program or getting involved in undergraduate research are encouraged to attend.
