What is it?

Students showcasing and spectating works at the Symposium

The Giles T. Brown Student Project and Research Symposium provides a venue for all students from any field at OCC to showcase work they've done in class or independently with faculty or staff mentors There are several ways work can be shared, including poster, oral presentation, or exhibition of work virtually. 

All you need to do is find a faculty mentor to research with and follow the important dates for the event.

As an attendee shared the symposium  "Helps you gain knowledge in something you might not have looked into on your own."
