Forward Thinking Research Symposium
This year's event will be held on Tuesday Dec. 3rd from 1:00-4:00pm.
Each year, the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP) showcases the exciting research being done at Marquette. In celebrating research across campus, the ORSP Forward Thinking Research Symposium provides opportunities to learn more about work being done in other disciplines and fosters professional skills for students. Unlike traditional conferences, where researchers convey the results of work that has been completed, the Forward Thinking presentations focus on projects that will take place in the next 6鈥12 months.
Below is the list of this year's presentations:

Highlights for 2024
Here are some highlights of this year's event:
- Researchers will make five-minute oral presentations 鈥 鈥渆levator pitches鈥 鈥 of the work they want to do. Presentations must be accompanied by the three template PowerPoint slides that will be provided.
- Presenters will need to be available Tuesday, December 3rd from 1:00 鈥 3:00 m.
- This will be an in-person event, to promote further discussion and collaboration.
- Presentations should emphasize: WHY this work and your project is important (the purpose), HOW you鈥檙e going to do the work in the next 6-12 months (the process), and WHAT you want to achieve (the results).
- Student researchers on the project must do the oral presentation, to help further their presentation skills and articulation of the work in a quick and digestible.
- Presentations should be prepared with the intent to promote interest in funding for the future work they intend to do. Content should be prepared like a proposal.
- Marquette's MIC Speakers Lab can help students and faculty develop, organize, edit, practice, and polish the presentation. Visit The MIC webpage for more information.
- This year awards are being offered by ORSP, the Institute for Women鈥檚 Leadership (gender focused projects), the Latinx Research Community (projects that aim to better understand Latinx populations and/or issues), and the Center for Data, Ethics, and Society (projects addressing the social/ethical dimensions of data). Presentations will be evaluated by those in attendance and the top four will be offered a $500 award.
- Posters are not required, but may be included and will be set up in the AMU reception area for further discussion after the oral presentations.

- To promote Marquette鈥檚 tradition of sponsoring academic centers, institutes, and initiatives, several of them will have tables set up in the reception area to share more about their missions and programming.
