What do I need for a roundtable discussion?

Research roundtable sessions give you an opportunity to discuss your research with other scholars in a small collegial and supportive setting.  The purpose of roundtable sessions is to give you, as undergraduate student researchers, an opportunity to discuss your research with one another while broadening your view of research, scholarship, and creativity within your discipline.  Students that are just beginning their research projects should participate only in a Research Roundtable.
