Submit an abstract: College of Science Undergraduate Research Colloquium

Join us for the thirteenth annual College of Science Undergraduate Research Colloquium on Monday May 6, 2024,from 2 to 4 p.m. in Dewberry Hall, Johnson Center. This event will be open to all Mason students, staff, and faculty. 

To participate, submit your titles and abstracts no later than April 10, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. 

Who can participate?
All undergraduate Mason students who are doing or have done STEM related research are invited to participate. Projects conducted in an independent study, course-imbedded research experience and/or faculty mentored (i.e.,URE) are welcome. You are welcome to present research that was performed at non-Mason sites such as NIH, summer REUs.  If you are unsure if you are eligible to participate, please email Rebecca Jones (rjones22@gmu.edu). Student presenters will create a research poster and submit it via email by April 24, 2024. A template is available on the event website and after abstract submission.

When developing an abstract, students should work with their mentor(s) to effectively communicate your scholarly question, what you have done to answer it, what results you have obtained/anticipate, and what those results mean in the appropriate context. Abstracts should be written with an interdisciplinary scientific audience in mind. It is ok if the project is not finished, and conclusions are speculative at the time of abstract submission.

Please email stemcos@gmu.edu or rjones22@gmu.edu with any questions.
