Meeting of the Minds

The Undergraduate Research Symposium, or the "Meeting of the Minds," is a university-wide celebration of undergraduate research.


All Carnegie Mellon undergraduate students who are engaged in research or creative projects of any kind are encouraged to apply. Held each year in early May, the symposium provides a platform for our students to showcase the unique work they have been doing in the Department of English.

Students can learn more about Meeting of the Minds, including registration details and how to participate (as an individual or as part of a group).
