Our annual undergraduate research symposium celebrates the collaborations of UWM undergraduate students with our larger research community. When it became clear that we would not be having an on-campus event this year, we decided to create this Virtual Symposium in its place.

We have looked forward to this annual showcase as an opportunity to thank the research mentors who have guided the efforts of their students over the year, to congratulate the students on their hard work, and to celebrate the fact that UWM, over the course of decades, has built an exceptional environment of shared inquiry. Student success, research excellence, and community engagement are pillars of UWM’s mission, and all of these are at the heart of the Annual Research Symposium.
