Summer Research Opportunity Program Research Symposium: Day One

Join our Summer Research Opportunity Program (SROP) scholars as they present their research and answer questions.
SROP at U-M strives to increase the number of diverse students with unique experiences by supporting their preparation for graduate studies. Through intensive mentorship, active learning, and enrichment activities, SROP fosters a community of scholars who increase social and cultural capital and networking while mastering research skills and knowledge that advance their preparation as candidates for successful graduate study at U-M and success in future careers, increasing representation in professional fields.
Given the number of students, presentations will occur over the course of two days—Tuesday, August 3 and Wednesday, August 4. Sixteen scholars will share their research during three rotations beginning at 11:00 a.m., 11:40 a.m., and 12:20 p.m. Guests can join using the main Zoom link and enter into breakout rooms to hear the presentations throughout the three rotations.
