The 25th annual Student Research and Community Engagement Symposium will be held as a multi-staged competition with the final round and awards ceremony at University Crossing on Tuesday, April 26, 2022! This university-wide event showcases the research, service learning projects, study abroad experiences, creative works and other academic endeavors of UML undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students.

All student participants are asked to submit a video of no more than 3 minutes presenting their project for the first round of the competition. Videos will be available on YouTube for a period of public viewing and voting. Thereafter, a team of judges designated by each college dean will select finalists from their college to continue to Round 2, an in-person Q&A session with a panel of judges.

The number of winners from each college will be proportional to the number of submissions. Each college will award at least one undergraduate and one graduate student or team as winners. In addition, each college will recognize at least one “Fan Favorite” winner based on the number of likes on YouTube and input from judges.

The first step for students to enter the competition is to submit an abstract using the online abstract submission form before the deadline on Wednesday, March 30, 2022 at 11:59 p.m.
