Research Symposium Purpose

The Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU) Undergraduate Research Symposium (URS) provides a platform for undergraduate students to showcase their research, creative work, and academic achievements to a broader audience. This URS allows students to engage in scholarly discourse, network with peers and professionals, and develop communication and presentation skills. Our undergraduates have an opportunity to foster a culture of collaboration and innovation among undergraduates by encouraging interdisciplinary dialogue and promoting the sharing of ideas across fields.

Consequently, the FAMU Undergraduate Research Symposium helps inspire and recognize our undergraduates’ academic and intellectual accomplishments while providing a valuable opportunity for personal and professional growth.
