Research and Presentation Opportunities
Presenting your research or creative work at a professional conference is a valuable way to enhance your academic and professional development. It offer students the chance to share their work, receive feedback, network with professionals, and explore future career or graduate study opportunities.
Many local, national, and international events welcome undergraduate presenters from all fields of study. OSCAR encourages students to explore and participate in these opportunities.
