Forward Thinking Research Symposium

This year's event will be held on Tuesday Dec. 2nd from 1:00-4:00pm, in the AMU Monaghan Ballrooms.

 

Each year, the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP) showcases the exciting research being done at Marquette. In celebrating research across campus, the ORSP Forward Thinking Research Symposium provides opportunities to learn more about work being done in other disciplines and fosters professional skills for students. Unlike traditional conferences, where researchers convey the results of work that has been completed, the Forward Thinking presentations focus on projects that will take place in the next 6–12 months.
