Collegiate Research Symposium

The Rochester Local Section of the American Chemical Society invites undergraduate and master’s students to participate in the annual Collegiate Research Symposium, a local event highlighting student research across various fields of chemical science. This symposium provides an excellent opportunity to present stuents’ work, engage with fellow researchers, and gain insights from our keynote speaker. Students can showcase their research through posters or short talks, which will be evaluated by judges. Awards will be given to the top presentations at the conclusion of the event. This year, we are honored to welcome Prof. Phillip Milner from the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Cornell University as our keynote speaker.
