The University of South Florida Office of Undergraduate Research holds an annual university-wide Undergraduate Research Symposium and Celebration. The symposium serves to showcase the substantial research completed by many USF undergraduates, under faculty mentorship, and to encourage their peers to become actively engaged in research. All USF undergraduate students may submit proposals for poster sessions or oral presentations based on their research. The symposium, keynote address, and award ceremony are open to the public and free to attend.

The 9th Annual Undergraduate Research Symposium and Celebration was held on Friday, April 15, 2011 in the Marshall Student Center Ballroom. Abstract submission guidelines will be posted at the beginning of the Spring semester, and the deadline for submissions is tentatively set for the last week in February. We look forward to another great set of submissions for this year's event.
