PURC held its 2nd annual Undergraduate Symposium on Tuesday, April 8th, 2025, and we were excited to see how much bigger the event had gotten in just one year!
The Symposium featured catered breakfast, a graduate student keynote, undergraduate presentations, and multiple prizes for the best presentations of the day, including posters, standard talks (15 minutes), and flash talks (5 minutes).
