Get Ready—SRS 2026 Is Going to Be Revolutionary! 🎉
The SRS Committee is excited to introduce the brand-new SRS Conference Fund, created to help outstanding SRS presenters take their research to the next level.
🌎 What’s in it for you? If your project is selected, you could receive $1,500 USD to attend a national or international conference of your choice. This is a fantastic
opportunity to
share your work with a wider academic audience,
network with fellow undergraduate researchers, and
proudly represent New Mexico Tech on a bigger stage.
Whether you’re just getting started with research or already deep into your project,
SRS is your chance to showcase your hard work and open doors for your academic future.
Don’t miss your chance to shine—we can’t wait to see what you’ll bring to SRS 2026!

HUMAN SUBJECT RESEARCH (IRB)
Institutional Review Board (IRB) statement: If your project includes human research subjects, even in a non-invasive capacity, you may need IRB Approval. If you need IRB approval,
it is your responsibility to obtain it and provide the SRS committee with a copy of the IRB approval.
NOTE ON THE USE OF PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGES: As per the 2024-2025 NMT Catalog, "Registration as a student and attendance at or participation in classes and other
campus and New Mexico Tech activities constitutes an agreement by the student to the
New Mexico Tech's use and distribution (both now and in the future) of the student's
image or voice in photographs, video or audio capture, or electronic reproductions

About
Our Mission: Communicate to Educate
Communicate to Educate means to effectively communicate your project or research to
educate those you are presenting to. This is the primary focus of the Student Research
Symposium.
The SRS is an annual event where students present their research to the communities
of NMT and Socorro, as well as the larger STEM community. Students at all levels,
from freshman to graduates, have the opportunity to participate in research and the
SRS provides a forum to share the exciting projects they've been working on.
During the event, students are able to:
Showcase their knowledge and skills by giving a presentation or displaying a poster
to peers, professional researchers, and engineers.
Communicate their research or design to people outside of their field.
See what their peers are doing and get ideas for future research projects.
We look forward to seeing you at this year's Student Research Symposium!
The Student Research Symposium (SRS) is an initiative of the Office for Student Learning
(OSL) and the Joseph R. Skeen Library. Thank you to our contributors and supporters:
Office of Academic Affairs, Office of Student Affairs, the CLASS Department, the Writing
& Communication Lab, and the Graduate Student Association (GSA).
