The symposium was organized as a series of short talks by undergraduate and graduate students. Talks which discussed extensive research that has been completed or is nearly complete were allotted 15-minute time slots. The symposium also included three rapid fire “five minute sessions” which offered students the opportunity to briefly discuss either their on-going research, or projects undertaken as part of a course.
