Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Conference

The culmination of the SURF summer is the Poster Symposium. It is a chance for all of the students sponsored by both Rhode Island’s NSF EPSCoR and INBRE to share their experiences, research, and insights with each other, the mentors, and other distinguished guests.

The Symposium takes place at URI’s Ryan Center. The morning begins with opening remarks from guest speakers which have included Lt. Governor Elizabeth Roberts, URI President David Dooley, and Vice President for Research at URI, Peter Alfonso. Then the students are split into two groups for the poster sessions so that everyone has chance present and walk around. The day wraps up with a group lunch. See our SURF page
