Arthur Olsen Student Research Symposium

Symposium at AU

The Arthur Olsen Student Research Symposium is a gathering that fosters and celebrates student research at the university. The structure of the symposium follows that of a traditional academic conference, and Augustana students from all disciplines are invited and encouraged to present their original research at this forum. The symposium provides the campus and surrounding community an opportunity to see and appreciate the creativity, hard work and ingenuity of its students.

  •  2024 Research Symposium | Saturday, April 13 | Froiland Science Complex

The Arthur Olsen Student Research Symposium is supported by the Office of Academic Affairs, Civitas Honors Program, Mikkelsen Library, Biology Department and Board of Trustees (BOT).

Dr. Arthur Olsen

In 2015, the family of Dr. Arthur Olsen made an endowed gift to support the Augustana Symposium and student research. In honor of that gift and in tribute to Olsen's many contributions to the campus community and student research, the Augustana Symposium was renamed the Arthur Olsen Student Research Symposium.
