The Symposium is intended to provide advanced research experience to undergraduates and is modeled after conferences tradi-tionally held at the graduate level. A faculty selection committee determines which students qualify to present their papers at the Symposium at the University of Pittsburgh, Oakland campus. At the event, participants will make 10-15 minute presentations on their research to a panel of faculty and graduate students. Participants will receive constructive feedback on their papers. The presentations will be open to the public. Final papers must be edited to be 10-15 pages in length.
