Being a part of what makes Purdue excellent prepares you for future experiences where you will need to present and apply your work. Being directly involved in the process of discovery, along with the feedback from judges and other student participants during the conference will prove invaluable in your efforts to present your work in the future.

The undergraduate research conferences, such as the Fall Expo, are open to the public and showcase the research of Purdue undergraduate students.
