UMA Student Research Conference 2025

The UMA Student Research Conference is an opportunity for students, faculty, staff, and community members to come together to share our work across disciplines and programs and to learn more about a variety of topics, including this year’s academic theme, Indigeneity. To the right is this year's academic theme book, Night of the Living Rez, by University of Maine English professor Morgan Talty.

The conference planning committee is happy to welcome you to our event website! Here you will find more information about the event, a place to upload your proposal and final submission, as well as the schedule.

This conference will include student presentations of their work on a variety of subjects and in a variety of formats. These presentations (as well as other opportunities for collaboration and learning) will take place in real-time on Friday, April 18th (via Zoom and in-person), from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm..

Everyone is welcome to attend this conference. Students can invite friends and family, and professors are encouraged to mentor students and to attend this conference in support of our students. Online registration is required, but there is no cost to attend the conference. Let’s build on tradition and create a new one in the spirit of collaboration and life-long learning.

**Recordings of sessions will also become available after the conference!**
