Summer Undergraduate Research Experience Symposium

On behalf of the College of Arts and Sciences, we invite you to the 2016 Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) Symposium.  This event features posters and talks by more than 40 students that have performed research at our home campus in Biddeford and regions throughout the Northeast United States. During this summer, our students have worked closely with our faculty to build on the knowledge they have acquired through their coursework to explore more advanced realms of understanding and to prepare for more continued study in their fields.  

Students from all sorts of disciplines have tackled projects ranging from an analysis of community sustainability on the islands of Maine, to the examination of experiential learning in the Marine Science labs, to the use of biological mosquito control methods around UNE. These projects are the basis for future scholarly articles, presentations, and manuscripts.

Please join us in celebrating the hard work done by our summer undergraduate research students. We invite you to learn more about the fascinating work of our students and celebrate their accomplishments.
