5th Annual Undergraduate Research Symposium

The Undergraduate Research Symposium provides undergraduates with the opportunity to present the results of their research projects in a public forum. Students, prospective students, faculty, staff, and community members are invited to explore the latest in undergraduate research at Old Dominion University. The symposium includes poster presentations, oral presentations, and exhibits by students from a wide range of academic disciplines. This is a great opportunity to introduce ODU students to our active undergraduate research community.
