The Science of Discovery
Contemporary research techniques and theory. Group discussion and college-level laboratory experience. Relevant, cutting-edge topics. Scholarships to take your interest in science to the next level. High school science and math students throughout the region rave about the Three Rivers Science Symposium. It's a day that will make a huge difference in sharpening your scientific skills, not to mention introducing you to scientific practice at the university level - and you are invited to participate.
Spaces are limited.
This falls's symposium will enroll a maximum of 60 highly qualified students, 20 in each of the three workshops. Participation is limited so you can work in small groups with our university faculty.
