Simpson University Student Research Symposium

“The academy has many rich traditions, but the sharing of scholarly work in an
open forum is one of its finest.”

- Dr. Stanley Clark, Simpson University provost (2005-2012)

The Student Research Symposium is an annual, day-long event in which students from Simpson University’s undergraduate, Adult Studies and graduate programs present talks, posters or panel discussions on a wide variety of topics. The public is invited to attend the 10- to 30-minute presentations or facilitated poster sessions.

The symposium began in 2011 as a faculty initiative to give Simpson students an opportunity to share their research outside the classroom. The symposium was opened to regional high school students in 2018. Divided into morning and afternoon sessions, with a lunchtime plenary address, the symposium is modeled after professional academic conferences.

Preliminary Call for Proposals for the 13th Annual Simpson Student Research Symposium

On Wednesday, April 12th, 2023, Simpson University will hold the 13th Annual Student Research Symposium (SRS ‘22) on campus. The organizing committee encourages students from the traditional undergraduate program, the adult degree-completion program, graduate programs, and local high schools to submit proposals for presentations at the event.

The theme for the 13th Annual SRS is Calling. Going to college marks a special season for those pursuing the discovery and cultivation of their professional and vocational calling. While at Simpson University, thousands of young men and women have also heard God calling them into world service and ministry. Our theme taps into this powerful and on-going tradition in our hallowed halls. May we hear the call!

The committee welcomes presentations in three different formats: individual talk, poster, or panel discussion. Please view the information below for detailed descriptions of each format, instructions on how to submit a proposal, and deadlines. Submissions must be made electronically at the official SRS website between November 4, 2022 and February 15, 2023.
