2019 - 17th Annual Erickson Undergraduate Research Conference
This is the seventeenth year that the Erickson conference has been held at Seattle Pacific University and it continues to showcase the outstanding research and design contributions our students are making in the fields of Biology, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics and Physics. Our students' presentations range from single quarter classroom-based original research projects to summative multi-year independent research programs and engineering design projects. Please join us in this celebration of students' projects and support your friends as they present the findings of their individual projects.
We would like to thank Joyce Erickson for the legacy she has left our students by establishing this conference. We would also like to thank all the students who have participated in this conference over the years to make it so successful. Thank you!
