13th Annual Student Research Symposium

Each fall since 2004, Cal Lutheran has celebrated the scholarly work of top undergraduates in all disciplines at this symposium. Many of the featured projects represent the work of summer students dedicated full time to research under the direction of faculty mentors. Original results shared at this venue often have been presented at professional conferences and accepted for publication in peer-reviewed journals.

Funding for more than two dozen projects has been provided by Swenson Science Summer Research Fellowships, Darling Summer Research Fellowships for Applied Scientific Computing, John Stauffer Research Fellowships in the Chemical Sciences, the Jung Summer Research Fellowship for Biological Science, and Cal Lutheran’s Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowships.

The symposium begins with six oral presentations by students, followed by interactive poster presentations and refreshments. Disciplines include biology, biochemistry, chemistry, computer science, economics, exercise science, mathematics, physics, communication and education.

Oral Presentations: 9 to 10:30 a.m. in Richter Hall, Ahmanson Science Center

Poster Presentations: 10:30 a.m. to noon in Ahmanson Science Center Lobby

Admission is free.
