Celebrating 21 Years of the UGRS @LehighU
Since 2005, the David and Lorraine Freed Undergraduate Research Symposium has convened the best of the best from across Lehigh's undergraduate engineering labs to celebrate their innovations and discoveries.
The annual event offers undergraduate researchers an opportunity to present their work from a broad spectrum of engineering disciplines. Students also use the event as a training opportunity by making a formal presentation before a panel of judges, and engaging in conversations with symposium visitors, faculty, students and staff.
The top finishers, judged by a panel of academic and industry researchers, win travel stipends to attend professional conferences for yet another opportunity to promote their work and practice the art of communication.
This year, the annual UGRS will held at Lehigh's newly-renovated Clayton University Center on Friday, April 17, 2026.
