Description:

On February 21, 2024, LAUNCH: Undergraduate Research will hold its seventh annual LAUNCH Undergraduate Research Scholars Symposium in the Memorial Student Center (MSC) at Texas A&M University. The Symposium showcases undergraduate researchers in the LAUNCH Undergraduate Research Scholars (URS) thesis program.

The URS thesis program provides undergraduates with a graduate student experience by allowing them to participate in research, produce a professional document, and communicate their findings as principal authors to the University's scholarly community. The URS Symposium also fulfills the URS thesis program requirement for students to do a public presentation and offers them a chance to receive constructive feedback on their research projects and presentation skills.

Faculty, staff, and post-docs are invited to be active listeners and provide written feedback on research projects and presentation skills. Email ugr@tamu.edu if you are interested in becoming an Active Listener.

Undergraduate students in LAUNCH: Honors and LAUNCH: Learning Communities programs are also invited to visit presentations and will be assigned reflection activities to help them discover their own research interests and develop their communication skills.
