The CISER Annual Research Celebration (reception and banquet) is in its 28th year, bringing together members of our research community: University System leaders, faculty mentors, graduate and undergraduate students, and university and community partners. We celebrate another year of STEM research, service, and education by recognizing our CISER scholarships and awards to outstanding students and faculty. Our visiting distinguished alumni serve as Honorary Scholars to evaluate the undergraduate research presentations before the reception, network, and help give scholarships and awards. The event is organized and presented by the CISER Undergraduate Research Scholars as part of their service to the university.
