2026 marks the 40th anniversary of Vassar’s Undergraduate Research Summer Institute (URSI) and was the largest in the program’s history, with over 120 students and faculty working to create a scholarly, scientific community. Weekly URSI events such as student presentations, professional development and social gatherings supported the rigorous daily work of each group. In the end, the creative results presented at this Symposium are the culmination of one of the most wonderful experiences students and faculty can have, namely working side-by-side in the pursuit of new knowledge. Please join us in celebrating the accomplishments of our talented faculty and students at this, the 40th annual URSI Symposium.
