The Student Research Symposium is an excellent opportunity for Towson University students
to showcase their research and ideas in a public forum. This fall, because we are
meeting virtually, this will take place on Blackboard (on the Community site 'Student
Research Forum'). Students may present their work in a live session (via Zoom) or through prerecorded presentations on VoiceThread. All students are eligible to
present their work by registering.
The Student Research Symposium is hosted by the Department of Biological Sciences . Undergraduate and graduate students will showcase their scientific research conducted
at Towson University.
Attendance at the live session is NOT required for students to submit and present,
but it is encouraged.

- Live session is Friday, December 4th, 2020 11:00am-1:00pm
