Student Research @ Shippensburg University
Students can and do make original contributions to the world's existing body of knowledge.
Shippensburg University encourages you to dig deep into a subject that interests you. Discover unknown phenomena, develop theories, reinterpret existing knowledge, apply established results to new situations, and construct original work that advances human understanding. Ultimately, you can play a part in deepening our comprehension of the world, the universe, and ourselves!
Celebration of Student Research Conference
The Celebration of Student Research Conference traditionally takes place in the spring on Tuesday of the penultimate week of classes. This conference offers Ship students the chance to present their research. The most recent conference took place on Tuesday, April 23, 2013, and featured an assortment of poster presentations, oral paper presentations, musical performances, art displays, and departmentally organized sessions.
