Dudley H. Davis Student Center
Conference Purpose & Rationale
The UVM Student Research Conference will showcase the research and scholarly
activity of undergraduate and graduate students across the campus, acknowledge
and thank their mentors, and celebrate UVM colleges, schools, and programs that
sponsor and support student research. All students working on a research or
creative project with a University of Vermont faculty member are eligible to
present some aspect of their research at this forum. Research and creative projects
at any stage of completion are welcome.
The Conference is intended to coordinate, not supplant, the many student presentation
processes already underway at the University. The anticipated audience will
include UVM students, faculty and staff and the wider community. The event also
will serve as a resource for students who are not yet involved with research
and who wish to learn about how to engage in research pursuits. The Conference
is designed as a pilot project that may become an annual event.
