Description

The  City Tech Student Research Conference is a forum for students to present their undergraduate research conducted under the guidance of a City Tech faculty member.  This event is concurrent with the Honors and Emerging Scholars Poster session, May 7-8 in Klitgord gym (10AM-3PM), and we encourage everybody to go see all the posters too.  Participants will receive a special mention during the Honors and Emerging Scholars award ceremony at 1PM, and will have the chance to publish a report of their work in the Journal of Student Research (submission guidelines).  The conference is open to all faculty, staff and students; admission is free.
