Muncie, IN—The Ball State University community and members of the public are cordially invited to attend the 26th annual Ball State Student Symposium.

Due to COVID-19 considerations, the 2021 Student Symposium is being conducted virtually, with a digital multimedia exhibit featuring students’ creative and scholarly projects launching Tuesday, April 13. Viewers may browse the exhibits at their leisure through Wednesday, April 28 on the 2021 Student Symposium website.

For more than 25 years, the Student Symposium at Ball State University has provided students with the opportunity to present their creative and scholarly projects from all academic disciplines while competing for cash prizes and gaining valuable insight from faculty and staff judges from across the University.

The Symposium encourages interdisciplinary discourse, allowing students to learn from each other about engaging topics. The symposium also provides an opportunity for student participants to discuss their work with a broad audience and is open to any student from Ball State University (undergraduate and graduate), Burris Laboratory School, and the Indiana Academy for Science, Mathematics, and Humanities.

To learn more about the Student Symposium and to view a digital list of all participants, visit the Sponsored Projects Administration website. A list of winning presentations and projects for the 2020 Symposium is viewable on the Ball State Research Blog.
