Oral Presentation Spotlights: Monday, May 13 - Thursday, May 16, 2024

Symposium week kicks off May 13 – 16 with four evenings of select in-person oral presentations that highlight the themes: insights, innovations, inspirations, and impacts. Students who would like to do an oral presentation submit a short audition video and finalists are invited to present at one of the four themed nights. Event time is 5-7 pm each evening. All oral presentations will be held in the UCI Student Center.

Poster and Performance Showcase: Friday, May 17, 2024

The week culminates in an exciting all-day event on Friday, May 17 from 10:30 am – 4:45 pm at the UCI Bren Events Center, where all undergraduate students can present their research via Poster Presentations in one of two poster sessions. Two arts showcases will also take place, featuring a variety of student artistic performances. We encourage all presenters to enjoy the full day of activities by engaging with the poster presenters, watching artistic performances, and networking with industry representatives.

Corporate sponsors will be tabling and we highly recommend students to bring their resumes/CVs. The purpose of corporate tabling at the Symposium is to provide corporations with the opportunity to interact and network with attendees and student presenters. Networking offers the chance to establish connections and potentially secure future jobs and internships! Click here for more information.
