Augustana University is excited to host the 2025 North Central Regional Junior Science & Humanities Symposium (JSHS).
- Saturday, Feb. 22, 2025 | 8:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.
The JSHS is designed to challenge, engage and publicly recognize students (grades 9-12) conducting research in the sciences, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM). Individual students compete for scholarships and recognition by presenting the results of their original research efforts before a panel of judges and an audience of their peers. Opportunities for career exploration, peer discussions and networking are planned. By participating in regional and national symposia, students may:
- Participate in a forum honoring individual achievement in STEM
- Network with peers who have similar interests
- Hear research presentations by other students
- Develop skills to help prepare for undergraduate and graduate pursuits in STEM fields
- Hear nationally renowned scientists speak about their work
- Qualify for significant scholarships and other recognition
- Advance to the national symposium
