SPRING 2008

What is the Research Colloquium?

In 1998, the first annual Student Research Colloquium was established to provide TU students with an opportunity to gain public speaking experience, learn about research from fields outside of their own academic discipline, and experience judging methods used by professional organizations for national and international meetings/conferences.  Besides the benefit to students in terms of public speaking skills, the Student Research Colloquium is a week to celebrate student research and scholarship, with prizes to recognize outstanding student presentations and research.

 

Who Participates?

Any TU Undergraduate, Graduate, Law or

Non-degree seeking student (Domestic or International) who is involved in a research project for any discipline may participate.

 

What sort of research is included?

Presentations may contain original research or scholarship that a student is conducting, work that they have already submitted for a classroom project during the previous fall semester, or work in progress for the spring semester.  Some students also use the Colloquium as an opportunity to present research proposals or scholarship for which they are contemplating an in-depth study.  Research does not have to be experimentally based.  Humanities, business, engineering, legal, physical sciences, and social science topics are all welcome.

 

A session schedule and information about volunteering to judge or chair a session will be posted in mid-March at http://www.utulsa.edu/research_colloquium
