The University of the Virgin Islands (UVI) Emerging Caribbean Scientists (ECS) Program and the College of Science and Mathematics (CSM) will host the 2025 Annual Fall Student Research Symposium on Sunday, Sept. 28, from 1 to 3 p.m. at the 13D Research and Strategy Innovation Center on the Orville E. Kean Campus, St. Thomas.
The event will feature oral and poster presentations by UVI undergraduate students engaged in research across diverse fields such as biology, psychology, biomedical science, computer science, mathematics, chemistry, environmental sciences, engineering, and physics. Many of the projects were conducted under the mentorship of UVI faculty, as well as at partner institutions and laboratories on the U.S. mainland.
Dr. Sandra Romano, Dean of the College of Science and Mathematics, emphasized the importance of the event in fostering student success and innovation.
“The Annual Research Symposium is one of the most inspiring events of the year,” said Dr. Romano. “Our students not only showcase their hard work and intellectual curiosity but also demonstrate the incredible talent and potential that exists here at UVI. This symposium highlights the transformative impact of research experiences, which prepare our students for graduate study, professional careers, and leadership roles in STEM and beyond.”
The symposium provides the Virgin Islands community with an opportunity to engage with emerging scholars, learn more about UVI’s growing research portfolio, and celebrate student accomplishments.
