Every year, Elon University suspends all campus activities to focus on the creative and research efforts of Elon students.
More than 250 Elon University students will present during the Spring Undergraduate Research Forum (SURF) on April 29. The poster presentation sessions will occur in Alumni Gym, with the oral presentation sessions scheduled at a variety of locations across campus.
SURF is a time each year when we suspend our other campus activities to celebrate the academically centered creative endeavors and research efforts of Elon students. This year marks the 32nd annual celebration of achievements in undergraduate research at Elon University. As one of the five Elon Experiences, undergraduate research is a highly valued part of the academic experience for Elon students.
