Research Days
Please note: the Research Days undergraduate and graduate poster sessions will not be held on March 24 and 25. Due to rapidly changing issues related to the spread of Coronavirus, SMU is canceling or postponing on-campus gatherings of more than 50 people through the end of April. Information and announcements about SMU's response to the spread of Coronavirus can be found here. More information about Research Days is below.
Undergraduate Poster Session:
The Office of Engaged Learning are designing an online approach for Research Days. Please continue to develop and complete your posters by the deadline and expect details no later than March 20, 2020. If you have questions email engagedlearning@smu.edu.
