Mid-SURE - Undergraduate Research

2024 Mid-Michigan Symposium for Undergraduate Research Experiences (Mid-SURE)

The 14th annual Mid-SURE will be held on Wednesday, July 24, 2024 at the STEM Teaching and Learning Facility and online at Symposium by ForagerOne. Priority Registration will open on May 30 and close on June 20, 2023.

Mid-SURE 2024 will be a hybrid event with both in-person and virtual poster presentations, held on July 26 from 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM. The event is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be provided.

MSU undergraduate researchers, visiting students participating in research at MSU, and students from other institutions in Michigan are eligible to present at Mid-SURE. Current MSU students and December 2023 and May 2024 graduates are also eligible to present at Mid-SURE. Incoming MSU students (first year or transfer) who complete New Student Orientation (NSO) before July 24 may participate as well. This event provides an opportunity for students involved in research and creative activities at Michigan State and select institutions to share their work with their peers and the MSU community.

All levels of research and creative scholarship are welcomed--from preliminary to capstone projects and everywhere in between! Research and creative activity conducted during courses, internship/REU, Education Abroad, or community-based participatory research are also accepted. Research is a process. Share with the university community where you are in that process when you present at Mid-SURE.
