As an avid participant in the University Research Symposium at the University of West Alabama, our research group has had the honor and privilege of making our presence felt year after year. Every time, our students embark on a transformative journey. The symposium pushes them out of their comfort zones, challenging them to distill months, if not years, of rigorous research into concise, impactful presentations. These presentations are more than just a report of data and results; they’re a testament to the perseverance, creativity, and dedication that drives scientific exploration. As we look forward to attending in the years to come, we remain ever grateful for the lessons learned, the connections made, and the unwavering support of the UWA community.
What's in it for students?
By participating in the Undergraduate Research Symposium at UWA, undergraduate & graduate students can share their ideas, discoveries, and works with campus and community. Since this event includes academic research of all kinds, traditionally held in the style of conferences at Bell Conference Center, you can present your work through posters, oral presentations, or data stories.
How to write an abstract?
The abstract is essential to any research paper as it's the first thing your readers will see, and most likely, they will begin to form a first impression of your research project based on your abstract. Commonly, abstracts are written after you have finished writing up your research as they give a summary of the content of your research.
