Undergraduate Research Symposium
UNDERGRADUATE SYMPOSIUM ON RESEARCH, SCHOLARSHIP, AND CREATIVE ENDEAVORS
The Undergraduate Symposium for Research, Scholarship and Creative Endeavors provides an opportunity for undergraduate students and recent graduates to showcase their hands-on involvement in research and creative endeavors. We encourage students to share either their completed or ongoing work. Students from all majors on all of Kent State’s campuses are encouraged to submit their work – from creative dance pieces to scientific research. Students can present their work through posters, oral presentations, or any creative medium.
The Undergraduate Symposium for Research, Scholarship and Creative Endeavors will be an in-person event with exceptions for students taking all on-line classes or most classes at one or more of our regional campuses. If you would like to present remotely and meet one of the noted criteria, contact agosky@kent.edu. The symposium is scheduled for April 20th, 2027.
Abstracts will be accepted beginning on December 1, 2026. The deadline to submit abstracts will be February 24, 2027 at 11:59PM. Submit your abstract.
Sponsored by the Division of Research and Economic Development, Office of the Provost, Honors College, and University Libraries.

"My experience with undergraduate research solidified a desire to pursue research as a career, and undergraduate research provides KSU students with a life-changing experience that helps them to find their passion. Rather than simply digesting knowledge from textbooks/lectures, undergraduate research gives students the ability to create knowledge and solve problems of immense public health relevance."
