The Science, Technology and Research Symposium (STaRS), organized by the School of Science and Technology at Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC), will be held in the Allied Health and Sciences building 1-4 p.m. Friday, April 24. It is open to everyone.
The annual STaRS event offers GGC students an opportunity to showcase their work in undergraduate research and to illustrate the outcomes of this high-impact practice – critical thinking, problem-solving, data analysis, oral communication and community building, to name just a few.
The Spring 2026 STaRS event will be many of our students’ very first opportunity to present the results of a significant amount of work to their professors and peers in a supportive and celebratory environment. In addition, the STaRS event continues to represent our best opportunity to show campus leaders and colleagues in other departments the truly outstanding science that GGC students and faculty are doing every day. Graduate programs will also be on site to show our students potential opportunities available to them after graduation.
If you are a GGC faculty member who has conducted research with students, we ask you to encourage your students to present their research at STaRS. There will be cash prizes. Complete the STaRS registration form to participate.
