2009 Student Research Symposium

Student Research Symposium

Each October, SOIS students showcase their research work at the Student Research Symposium. The event, sponsored by the Diversity and Equity Committee, offers students an outlet to display projects and work done inside as well as outside the classroom. By developing poster presentations, students get a good feel for how a professional conference works while benefiting from the small, comfortable atmosphere at SOIS. The event is open to all students.
