STUDENT RESEARCH PRESENTATIONS

Our semester-long program centers on a social justice research project. Students work in groups to choose a topic and conduct primary research in their community. At the end of the semester, each group presents their findings in a public forum.

To see slide sets from past semesters, visit our Student Research Archive.

Presentation Schedule

Students present their research findings at the end of the fall and spring semesters, usually in December and May respectively. The presentations are followed by an end-of-semester party. Everyone is welcome!
