The Illinois Summer Research Program Alliance (ISRPA) will host the 2025 STEM Career Exploration and Symposium at the Illini Union. This event includes an end-of-summer undergraduate research symposium where in-house and visiting students (many involved in REU and similar programs) present their research as well as a career exploration symposium where these students and visiting students and educators from regional high schools and community colleges can connect with each other, STEM employers, and STEM professional organizations to learn more about STEM careers and the role of undergraduate research on these careers.
