The Symposium for Undergraduate Research Exploration in the College of Natural Sciences (SURE in CNS) at UT Austin invites students from other campuses to share research and learn about our graduate program offerings. The 2019 symposium focused on research in the life sciences and chemistry. The 2020 symposium will focus on research in the physical sciences and computing. Participating departments include: Astronomy, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Computer Science, Math, Physics, and Statistics & Data Sciences.
Due to Covid-19 the 2020 symposium will be hosted virtually. The agenda will encompass a full day on Monday, November 2, 2020 and include:
- Research presentations (oral OR poster presentations) to fellow undergraduate researchers, College of Natural Sciences faculty members, and graduate students while competing for awards. Participants will pre-record presentation videos on Zoom which will then be viewed during the event, followed by interactive Q&A.
- Small group breakout sessions, hosted by departments affording an opportunity to meet CNS faculty and current graduate students.
- Two panel discussions that will cover the graduate school application processes, comprehensive financial support for College of Natural Sciences graduate students, and professional development and career services for PhD trainees.
- A hosted lunch.
CNS is committed to preparing leaders in research communities that are becoming increasingly diverse. We understand that diversity is vital to the future of science, and are dedicated to ensuring an inclusive, supportive environment where all students thrive. We encourage applications from individuals within populations traditionally underrepresented in our disciplines.
