Details
2017 Symposium Group Photo The 26th Annual Student Research Symposium will be held on March 23, 2018, at the Ohio Aerospace Institute (OAI) in Cleveland, Ohio. The Symposium is an integral part of the OSGC Scholarship/Fellowship Program, and attendance is required for all supported students. Faculty advisors are also welcome to attend. Space is limited at this event; as a result, no guests are permitted.

At the Symposium, undergraduate and graduate students present the research they accomplished during the preceding academic year and will discuss their research project with attendees. The research should be presented by giving sufficient background material so that it is understandable to someone not knowledgeable in the research area presented. In addition, Human Resources personnel from NASA Glenn Research Center and various Ohio industry will be in attendance.
