The symposium

Poster submission due date for spring symposium Monday, April 6, 2026.

Join us at this year's symposium

ASU undergraduate students, community college students, high school students and their mentors are invited to present their research and creative projects at this year's New College Undergraduate Research and Creative Projects Symposium.

Research projects will be in conference poster format. This event will feature a poster session including but not limited to NCUIRE, individualized instruction, capstone experiences, etc. If your project involves creative expression of performance that is not suitable for poster format, please submit using the link below under 'Submit non-poster entry here'.

This year, instead of a keynote address by a single faculty member, we will have a lightning round of spark talks by several faculty members. Each person will deliver a 2-minute overview of an exciting scholarly opportunity. Attendees are invited to connect with the speaker during the mixer for more information.

Faculty judges will provide feedback and encouragement to all participants and vote on a select number of recognitions of excellence in several categories including innovation, social impact, and interdisciplinarity. There will also be a "People's Choice" recognition voted on by the participants. All participants will receive a certificate of performance.

Admission to the event is free and open to the public.
