Oral Presentations

The 2023 INSPIRE Student Research and Engagement Conference was held on April 3-4, 2023. This conference combined and expanded upon what used to be the Graduate College Symposium and the CSBS Undergraduate Student Research Conference.

ALL undergraduate and graduate students across campus were invited to share their research, scholarship, creative, internship and/or service learning projects. Clubs and other student groups could also do presentations or set up tables and have demonstrations. The conference was held face-to-face in Rod Library.
