The Rosenstiel Undergraduate Research Symposium (RURS) is an annual event where graduating Rosenstiel students who have pursued a formal senior thesis  present their research in poster symposium format to program faculty and their fellow students. The presentations each year highlight the diverse range of research topics pursued by Rosenstiel undergraduates.
