Undergraduate Symposium

Events are free and open to the public, unless noted. Join us for Northern Arizona University's 6th annual Undergraduate Symposium - a campus wide celebration of student achievement in the Walkup Skydome. More than 700 students from across six colleges will come together to share their creative discoveries and present in-depth research and scholarly work. The Symposium will also spotlight student participation in service learning and collaborative projects, an invaluable learning experience that connects communities and applies passion to a purpose.
