The Undergraduate Research Conference is an annual event where students present work related to course research, creative work in the visual and performing arts, study abroad trips, community service, and much more. The conference benefits the campus community by helping students hone their ability to present information in a public setting, give and receive constructive feedback, and view important work being done by others both in and outside of their own fields.
The conference is free to attend and open to the public. Fitchburg State is committed to providing a comfortable, inclusive, and respectful environment for all members of our community.
If you have access needs, or would like to request accommodations to fully participate in this event, please contact: ugrad-conference@fitchburgstate.edu.
