Concordia Nebraska hosts 15th annual Academic and Research Symposium

Concordia University, Nebraska hosted its annual Academic and Research Symposium on Monday, April 27. The event is intended to showcase the academic endeavors of Concordia students, allowing them to present research and projects they have worked on over the course of the semester. 

“The symposium gives students the opportunity to present original research and significant projects they’ve worked on over the course of the semester in an interdisciplinary setting. It’s a good chance for students to demonstrate their God-given academic abilities and it demonstrates that CUNE is an academic institution,” said Dr. Brian Albright, chair of the mathematics and computer science department.
