The Student Undergraduate Research Festival (SURF) is an annual celebration of Carroll College students’ research. The presentations and posters presented throughout the day represent the culmination of months, and in some cases, years of dedicated work and research on behalf of the students. Entering it’s seventh year, SURF has grown from a several hour event primarily focused on the sciences to one in which over 150 posters and presentations highlight the diversity of student-driven, inquiry-oriented research being undertaken in a variety of disciplines at Carroll.
