The Undergraduate Research Symposium is a forum to showcase independent research conducted by undergraduate students. This is a student-run and organized event that continues to receive strong support from the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, the Honors College, Undergraduate Student Government and the UIC chapter of Sigma Xi, the Scientific Research Society. Annually there are over 100 poster presentations featured at this event on a wide variety of topics in the arts and sciences.
