The History Department Undergraduate Research Symposium is an annual event held each spring that recognizes the exceptional research being conducted by UC Santa Cruz history undergraduates. The symposium provides undergraduate students with a unique opportunity to share their research with a larger audience, as well as provides a forum for students, faculty, and the university community to engage in scholarly discussion. In addition, a UCSC history alumnus is invited each year to deliver a keynote address aimed at undergraduate research.

The 8th Annual Undergraduate Research Symposium will be held on Thursday, May 7th, 2015, 2-5 pm, in the Wagstaff Fireside Lounge at Stevenson College. The event is free and open to the public.
