The 2022-23 academic year comes to a close with this event where we celebrate the scientific work and discoveries of our students. Last year, the Title V STEM Research Festival was integrated into the campus-wide McMurry Academic Conference. This year we take a giant leap forward by becoming the STEM component of McMurry’s Symposium for Student Research, Scholarship, and Creative Works slated for April 28th. This will be a day when all classes are suspended and the entire campus is encouraged to celebrate discovery, creativity, and innovation.

Once again, we will celebrate the awarding of the STEM Research Certificate for students whose projects encompass all aspects of research – preparation, execution, analysis, interpretation, and communication before a professional audience at the state or national level. The students will receive the Excellence in STEM Research medallion to be worn at Commencement. These awards are sponsored by corporate partner Intuitive Systems, Inc., creator of VUMIE Online software.

An evaluation rubric useful for scoring each presenter can be downloaded by clicking here.

For many of our projects, you can click on the NAME of the student(s) to see their video introduction, click on the TITLE of the project to see an abstract of their work, and click on the word POSTER to preview their poster.
