The purpose of the Nelson Student Research Symposia is to recognize and share high-quality undergraduate research related to international and global topics.
The symposia enabled what previously were stand-alone Nelson Institute conferences to partner with the Engaged Citizen Experience effort to promote a university wide discourse of global intercultural topics.
This annual student showcase is taking place as part of the spring Global Citizen Forum, March 6-8, 2024. The symposium will feature student presentations addressing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which provide a framework for tackling complex global pressing issues such as poverty, sustainable communities, climate action, and justice.
