Presenting Research

Presenting research is a core part of the faculty-mentored student research experience. At Colorado College, students have multiple opportunities to present their research to the public and professional research communities.

The Conference Presentation Grant is to offset costs for students who are presenting their research at a conference up to $750. All students are eligible to apply to only one Conference Presentation Grant per academic year.

The SCoRe (Student Collaborative Research) Symposium is the culminating event after a summer of collaborative research conducted by Colorado College students and faculty. Additionally, students who have completed research outside CC are welcome to present at the symposium. It brings students, faculty, family, and friend together for a series of short presentations, poster sessions, and discussions across a variety of academic disciplines. The collaborative research presented is funded by the Dean of the College's Faculty-Student Collaborative Grant, departmental funds, other internal and external research grants. Starting in 2018, the Symposium expanded to include summer internships as well as summer research experiences to become the Student Research & Internship Symposium.

CSURF (Colorado Springs Undergraduate Forum) is a collaborative venture designed to highlight the research and creative works of undergraduates from Colorado College, the United States Air Force Academy, the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs (UCCS), and Pikes Peak State College. The forum rotates campuses every year and is usually held in April.

Colorado College students regularly present at undergraduate research conferences. This is not an exclusive list--check with your faculty mentor for ideas for conferences or search the Internet for "undergraduate research conference" plus your subject area.

The Midstates Consortium for Math and Science and the Biological and Psychological Sciences Undergraduate Research Symposium are presentation opportunities for CC students. The Associated Colleges of the Midwest Film Conference and Festival is a conference opportunity for CC students.

For the best student research conducted at CC, students often present their research at a regional or national conference. Abstract submissions are typically due 6 months before conferences. Students should consult with their faculty research mentors early in the research process if they are interested in presenting at these larger-scale conferences. Students whose presentations have been accepted to the conferences can apply for the Conference Presentation Grant.
