Upcoming Spring Undergraduate Research Symposium Set for April 2026

The Spring Undergraduate Research Symposium will take place on April 8 and 9, 2026, at the Colvard Student Union in Mississippi State University. This annual event provides a platform for undergraduate students engaged in research and creative projects to showcase their work across various disciplines.

Undergraduate students from diverse fields are encouraged to participate. The symposium will feature presentations in categories including art, music and design, biological and life sciences, business and economics, social sciences, education, physical sciences, and engineering. This wide range of categories ensures that all students can find a relevant space to present their research.

Students interested in presenting their work must submit their abstracts by March 5, 2026. This deadline allows organizers to prepare for the event and ensures a well-rounded selection of presentations. Abstracts can be submitted through the Mississippi State University’s dedicated symposium webpage at https://www.urcd.msstate.edu/symposium/spring.

The symposium not only highlights the innovative research conducted by undergraduates but also fosters a sense of community among students, faculty, and staff. Participants will have the opportunity to engage with peers and faculty, receive constructive feedback, and enhance their presentation skills, all of which are invaluable experiences for their academic and professional development.

As the date approaches, students are encouraged to begin planning their presentations and to take advantage of this opportunity to make their research visible to a broader audience. The Spring Undergraduate Research Symposium promises to be an enriching experience for all involved, showcasing the talent and creativity of Mississippi State University’s undergraduate scholars.
