Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Faculty Endorsement?

Students must write on their abstract the name of the faculty member with whom they will be working. All students must have a faculty mentor to guide their research. For projects already completed, they must provide the name of the faculty member who worked with them on their completed work. The Symposium Committee will verify this information.

Students must submit the Mentor Endorsement Form to the College of Arts and Sciences, Office of the Dean, Suite 101, Locke Hall, after submitting an abstract. (Groups need only submit one form.)

I am not in the College of Arts and Sciences. Can I still participate?

Absolutely! All undergraduate Howard University students are welcome to participate as long as your research falls within one of the four divisions of the College: Fine Arts, Humanities, Natural Sciences and Social Sciences.
