Usually held at the end of the academic year, presentations occur at various locations on the beautiful ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉúTV campus, beginning shortly after the morning Awards Convocation and continuing throughout the day. Student presentations highlight work in all disciplines and departments, as well as student engagement in the Memphis community.
In this annual celebration of student scholarly achievement, we take time out to celebrate student accomplishments in grand style. This event is much anticipated by the ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉúTV community, including professors, students, and many others who are eager to learn about and celebrate the outstanding student work done on our campus every year. At the symposium students can showcase their recent academic research and creative activity in the form of oral, poster or other types of presentations.

Fellowship activities, student research, creative projects, community engagement, service-learning, and independent pursuits carried out over the past year—including during the summer—are suitable for inclusion.
