CSP’s Annual Research and Scholarship Symposium features a diverse selection of undergraduate student research. With guidance from faculty mentors, students experience the process of scientific inquiry in a self designed project. The results of this scholarship is presented in a formal research poster which includes the research question, methodology, results, conclusions, limitations, and suggestions for future research.

CSP faculty members judge the projects in a blind review process, evaluating each entry using criteria ranging from the development of the research question, research plan, effective use of information sources, and professionalism of the presentation. The posters awarded "Top Poster Award" are provided with a certificate of their accomplishment.
