The 2020 Research Symposium is hosted by the College of Arts and Sciences in collaboration with the Forbes School of Business & Technology and the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning. The three-day event will be held virtually and will include current Ashford University students and alumni speakers presenting research they have completed during their respective programs. Presenting at the Research Symposium, as an individual or a team, is an excellent way to share your expertise in a topic and engage with peers and faculty around your research interests.  We welcome presentations in any field or discipline.  Presentations might focus on your research on capstone projects, thesis work, doctoral research projects, and other research projects completed during your coursework or in your professional life. Presenting at a research conference is a great opportunity to add a conference presentation to your resume or portfolio to show to current or potential employers.  Plus, the Ashford University Research Symposium is a student-friendly forum for you to practice your presentation skills and hone your research message.
