Student Research & Creative Activities Symposium
NEIU will hold its
16th Annual Student Research
and Creative Activities Symposium.
Founded in 1993, this event has grown from 25 to 125 student presentations and has become the crown jewel of scholastic events at NEIU. Students who have participated in the past agree that this is an outstanding program and presents a wonderful opportunity for students engaged in research and other creative activities to interact with each other and present their work before an audience of their peers.
This is a very exciting event and all undergraduate and graduate students, including those who have graduated since May 2006, are strongly encouraged to consider presenting a project the upcoming symposium. Presenting at the Symposium helps prepare students for conferences and other presentations during your career. Graduate schools will be impressed. Participation in the Symposium can be listed a student’s resume/vita. And it’s fun!
Students who are interested in participating in the Symposium will need to select a faculty sponsor to work with while preparing the abstract and presentation. The deadline to submit an abstract is March 3, 2008. Because the Symposium Committee looks for specific features in abstracts, it will be beneficial for students to review the abstracts posted on this web site. If you have any questions, please contact any of the following listed members of the steering committee.
Abstract forms are available from all faculty members and from members of the Symposium Steering Committee:
