Undergraduate Research Symposium

In the Spring of each year, the Arkansas Sociological and Anthropological Undergraduate Research Symposium is held. This meeting provides an outlet for undergraduate students across the state to present their research in a scholarly forum. This is an especially important opportunity for those students who plan to attend graduate school. Additional information on student research presentation events is available from Dr. John Toth (jtoth@uca.edu, 450-5665).  View the photo album from the 2009 symposium.
