Conference History
SSU has held an Annual Research Conference every year since 2011.
The Conference started in 2011 with funding from SSU's NSF HBCU-UP Implementation Project grant. Since then, SSU has institutionalized these conferences with supplemental funding support over the years from NOAA.
Over its history, over 1,000 SSU students have presented.
The 2019 Conference had more than 170 presenters (SSU undergraduate/graduate students, SSU faculty, and area high school students).
The 2018 Conference included more than 120 student presenters (undergraduate/graduate).
