Dear Saint Louis University students, staff, faculty, alumni, parents, and friends:

Welcome to the 2023 Senior Legacy Symposium website. The Senior Legacy Symposium is SLU's annual celebration of undergraduate scholarly and creative work. Since 2008, this event has provided a platform for distinguished students from all majors to share their culminating academic achievements with the campus community in the form of research posters, oral presentations, artistic exhibitions, and musical/dramatic performances.

We are thrilled to showcase the academic and creative accomplishments of over 200 students from over 50 academic departments and programs from across the University on this website, which serves to accompany the live event that takes place on Tuesday, May 2, 2023 in the Busch Student Center from 2-5pm. See the "Presentations and Panels Schedule" and "Poster Presentations Schematic" to see the schedule of the events for the day.

You may search for student projects in a number of ways. Along the left-hand side of your screen (or in the menu), you'll see a listing of all the schools and colleges. You can drill into each school/college, then look at projects by department program. You can also click on any of the buttons below to search projects by school/college. Finally, you can use the search bar to search by student name or project title.

As in past years, we invited departments/programs from across the university's undergraduate schools and colleges to nominate up to three students for inclusion in this year's Symposium. Nominated students were then given the chance to share their work on the website in multiple ways (abstract only, full artifact submission, or video submission).

Thank you to our academic partners and, especially, the University Honors Program staff for bringing this project to fruition. We look forward to celebrating this joyous event with the campus community.

Best,

Robert Pampel, Ph.D.
Director, University Honors Program

Projects By School/College

Please note, all undergraduate departments/programs were invited to nominate up to three projects (individual or group) for the Symposium. Not all departments/units claimed all three spots. In addition, nominated students were invited to contribute to this online compendium of projects, but participation was optional.  Therefore, not all departments/programs will feature the same number of projects. 

Also, the presentation of results within each department/program page is by nominated student, which means some departments/programs with group projects will appear to have more than three results, but only because multiple student names will lead to the same final project page.  By accessing the site navigation drop-down menu at the top right, you can filter down to the projects within each department/program.
Finally, the format of student submissions will differ according to student preference.  Students could participate by submitting an abstract alone, a full artifact of their work (with an abstract), or a recorded presentation of their work (with an abstract).

If you are a department/program representative and do not see a project for a student or group you think should be included among the abstracts below, please contact legacy@slu.edu. Please note, in the brief biography for each student, we have used gender-specific pronouns only when supplied by the student. Otherwise, we have opted for the gender-neutral "they/them/theirs."
