About the Event

The School of Computing Symposium features current undergraduate and graduate students involved in course projects, thesis projects, and other types of faculty research projects. Students and faculty will share their project work via poster presentations. This event provides an opportunity to have one-on-one interaction with our students and faculty, test their products, and  provide feedback on their work.

The event is open to the public.  Light refreshments will be served.  The symposium is free but RSVPs are required (registration is closed now).
