USA/USM/SELU Research Mini-Conference

Page Content

Friday, April 12, 2024 | 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

The faculty members from USM, the University of Southern Alabama (USA), and the Southeastern Louisiana University (SELU) organize the 31st  mini-conference on undergraduate research in Science and mathematics.

The 31st mini-conference will be a regional one-day meeting, featuring research presentations in science and mathematics from students and faculty from universities in the Gulf Coast area.

A principal goal of this conference is to involve undergraduate students in research and provide an opportunity for them to present their work. There is no conference fee, and a free lunch will be provided to all participants.

We encourage interested faculty and students, including those who may not want to present, to attend and learn more about research going on in our Gulf area.
