The 2023 Undergraduate Research and Engagement Symposium Program
----
The Undergraduate Research and Engagement Symposium was held during the Celebration of Student Achievements, Scholarship, and Creative Works, on April 22nd, 2023. It was exciting to host the event in person for the first time since 2019!
While the event was held in person, we invited students to archive their presentations. Please visit the eCommons to see some of the great work that was shared this year.
The Undergraduate Research and Engagement Symposium features presentations on undergraduate research and community engagement projects supported by LUROP fellowships, external programs, academic courses, service-learning experiences, internships, or community partnerships. The symposium engages the diverse ways undergraduate students advance Loyola’s Jesuit mission of “expanding knowledge in service to humanity through learning, justice, and faith.”
The next Undergraduate Research and Engagement Symposium will be held on April 20th, 2024. Registration will open on October 2nd, 2023.
Submit Presentations
The Undergraduate Research and Engagement Symposium returned to an in-person event for 2023! The symposium was held on April 22, 2023. Undergraduate students were welcomed to present research or community engagement projects to the public through the use of poster presentations, oral presentations, and learning portfolios.
The next symposium will be held on April 20th, 2024. Students may submit their research and community engagement experiences starting October 2nd, 2023. If you are planning to submit a poster for your presentation, you can find more detailed information, guidelines, and resources for creating and submitting it on our Resources page.
Evaluations
We invite faculty, staff, graduate students and community partners to evaluate student presentations to provide constructive and positive feedback. For the 2023-2024 school year, we are hosting Loyola's Undergraduate Research and Engagement Symposium in person on Saturday, April 20, 2024.
If you would like to serve as an evaluator, please save the date February 12, 2024 as the registration form will open.

Each year at the Undergraduate Research & Engagement Symposium, we recognize outstanding undergraduate scholarship in research and community engagement and the faculty and graduate mentors and community partners who support and facilitate undergraduate learning during the academic year. More information about each of the awards categories, including how to nominate outstanding students, faculty, and community partners, can be found here.
