The 2021 Virtual University Research Symposium (URS)
March 9, 2021
A regional conference showcasing students' research and creative endeavors, the University of West Alabama Research Symposium is held each year during Spring Assessment Day. Despite the current limitations of travel and large gatherings, undergraduate and graduate researchers from UWA and any other school have a unique opportunity to create an internet archive of their research, share their work with a broader audience, and build their portfolio by participating in a virtual URS Symposium on Tuesday, March 9, 2021.
The symposium invites diverse poster and oral presentations for undergraduates, graduates, faculty and other professionals representing all disciplines. Keynote speakers are Drs. Crystal Icenhour, Esther Ngumbi, and Lara Perez-Felkner. This virtual format encourages all students, faculty, staff, and community members to attend and interact with all presenters.
