2026 PROGRAM
Undergraduate Research Symposium
April 21, 2026
ConocoPhillips Alumni Center
The annual Undergraduate Research Symposium is an opportunity for undergraduate students to present what they have learned through their research experiences to the OSU campus community. We welcome all OSU faculty, staff, and students to attend! The event is open to the public, and community members/industry partners are welcome.
Note: Presentations are grouped by the student’s area of research (based on the faculty mentor’s academic department), not the student’s academic major.
