NSU Hosts Fourth Annual Student Research Symposium and Humanities Festival

FT. LAUDERDALE-DAVIE, FL—The Farquhar College of Arts and Sciences at Nova Southeastern University (NSU) will host the Fourth Annual Student Research Symposium and Humanities Festival on April 8, 1:00-5:30 p.m. in the Rose & Alfred Miniaci Performing Arts Center on NSU’s main campus. The event is free and open to the public.

NSU undergraduates from all disciplines will be participating in the symposium and festival, with projects covering areas of student scholarship ranging from the experimental and the applied to the computational, theoretical, artistic, and literary.

The symposium and festival present student projects and performances through oral presentations, paper submissions, and poster displays. They serve as a showcase for demonstrating the outstanding scholarship of NSU’s undergraduate students. Prizes will be awarded for outstanding projects in several categories, and abstracts of all projects will be published in a symposium program.

“The Symposium is also an opportunity to highlight the strong mentoring relationships between our students and faculty,” says Don Rosenblum, dean of the Farquhar College. “As in previous years, we expect that some of the projects will also find their way to national research conferences and publications.”

The day’s schedule will include:

• 1:00 – 1:45 p.m.
