Thinking Ahead: Research Symposium Opportunities
The Honors Institute is excited to offer you all the opportunity to present your work at two different symposiums this year. We encourage you to apply to both!
 
1. The Bay Honors Research Symposium.    This is an outstanding event that attracts honors students from the entire state of California and will be held at UC Berkeley in the spring.    We will provide more information on this particular symposium later this quarter.
 
2. The Foothill College Research and Service Leadership Symposium.    This is another excellent event held on campus week 6 of spring quarter.    Last year over 150 students presented work.    All the info you need is found on the website: Foothill College Symposium.

  • Research Projects.  Any type of research project from any discipline.  Research with original data is welcome, as is research you did for a research paper in any of your classes.  You do NOT need to have original data to apply.
