The Symposium is the culminating event for all students participating in UROP.

This year’s Symposium will showcase presentations from five research fellowships:

The Community College Summer Research Program is a division of UROP. The CCSFP is for community college students who are interested in transferring to U-M or any other university. For 10 weeks, students work full-time on the U-M campus in Ann Arbor with faculty researchers representing all 19 schools and colleges at U-M.
