Discovering New Paths | Friday, May 21, 2021
The Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) hosts the UCI Undergraduate Research Symposium, an annual event held in May that offers hundreds of undergraduates the opportunity to present the results of their research or creative activities in a professional setting. This year’s theme, Discovering New Paths, represents the resilience of UCI undergraduates in their pursuit of research and discovery. The Symposium includes poster, oral, and performing/visual arts presentations from students and guest speakers; speed-networking sessions; and an awards ceremony.
This free event draws hundreds of attendees, including undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, staff, family, friends, and other members of the community. We hope you will join us in celebrating the great accomplishments of our talented student researchers!
