Student Symposium
The Symposium provides a unique opportunity for students to present their research, broadening their expertise and preparing them for careers in science and nontechnical fields.
This year's Symposium, "Championing Scientific Careers" Highlighting Student Research, held August 9, 2017 at UNM-LA was very well attended with over 200 students showcasing their hard work and tremendous talent. The intent of the Symposium is to broaden students' expertise and prepare them for careers in science and nontechnical fields. This is an excellent forum for students to network and make professional contacts.
The National Security Education Center Student Programs Office is proud to announce the 2017 Symposium Winners
