The 2024 Research In Science & Engineering (RISE)/MARC Symposium will be held at HUB 302 on the UCR Campus on Wednesday, August 28, 2024 from 8:00 AM- 4:00PM.
All presentations will be held LIVE on the UCR Campus and the schedule is below. We congratulate the RISE/MARC undergraduate student presenters who have worked very hard all summer long on their undergraduate research projects, posters, and/or oral presentations. We also want to provide a special thanks to the faculty-mentors, lab managers, and graduate students who supported these students during the 10-week summer program to prepare them for the symposium.
