LSU Discover Day is a university-wide undergraduate symposium that provides a platform for students from all disciplines to share their research and creative projects with the entire university. The event provides an opportunity to interact with peers and faculty from across campus working in similar research fields, learn about how research and scholarship is conducted in different fields, and to develop presentation skills. Student presentations include scientific posters, oral presentations, visual art exhibitions, and performances.
