The regional STEM conference for undergraduate students, called Integrating Research in Science (IRIS), celebrates interdisciplinary interactions by bringing together the realms of STEM and STEM-related fields.

The National Conference on Undergraduate Research from April 7-9, brings together thousands of undergraduate students from across the country.

The day-long conference highlights emerging research across the interdisciplinary fields of kinesiology, exercise science, rehabilitation sciences and biomedical engineering. 

The university's top undergraduate research award comes with $20,000 to support and celebrate academic and creative achievements.

Elon’s Year of Service Fellows program allows recent Elon graduates to spend a year working in the Alamance County community.

Elon University Associate Professor of Exercise Science Matt Wittstein was recently interviewed by The Times News about the university's new neuroscience major.

The new program will offer three options: a Bachelor of Arts, a Bachelor of Science and a Bachelor of Science with a specialization in exercise neuroscience.

The conference was established in 2018 to give students from smaller institutions without the resources of major universities the opportunity to present their research and interact with students from other colleges and universities.
