FAQs

What is SRCCon?
SRCCon is the Seattle University Student Research and Creativity Conference. It is a campus-wide event for graduate and undergraduate students to share research projects and creative works they have been doing. SRCCon is a reimagining and relaunching of the previously known Seattle University Undergraduate Research Association (SUURA) conference.

Will SRCCon be the same as the previous Seattle University Undergraduate Research Association (SUURA) conferences?
SRCCon will be relatively the same but may be a bit smaller than previous years and is also for both graduate and undergraduate students.

      Can I present more than once at SRCCon?
      Sure! If it is for different projects, you can present more than once at SRCCon. However, to ensure a diversity of voices, you cannot give more than 2 presentations.
