The virtual Sigma Xi College and Graduate School Fair is great way to connect with the best and brightest high school and undergraduate students who are interested in pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree in science, technology, engineering, math, or health professions. The fair is held jointly with the Sigma Xi Student Research Conference, an annual gathering for high school, undergraduate, and graduate students to present their research and engage with professional scientists and engineers.
The 2020 online conference will welcome 300–400 high achieving students from schools and colleges across the United States. Students will virtually contribute oral and poster presentations in 13 research disciplines. High school participants have been alums of nationally and internationally recognized competitions such as the Regeneron (formerly Intel) Science and Engineering Fair and Conrad Challenge.
