The Latino Studies Undergraduate Research Symposium is held biannually and allows students to conduct research focusing on Latino communities in the U.S. and in transnational contexts. Undergraduate students undertake a sustained research project of their choosing, culminating in a symposium to showcase their research.

The Symposium bridges undergraduate, graduate, and faculty research by partnering each undergraduate participant with a mentor who helps plan and directs the research. Students selected to participate will receive a $250 stipend to assist in the completion of their projects.

The 2026 Latino Studies Undergraduate Research Symposium will take place on April 2nd and April 3rd.
