Celebration of Student Scholars
COSS Mission
The Celebration of Student Scholars (COSS) is a full-day research and creative scholarship symposium that includes posters, concurrent sessions, and art exhibitions by Concordia students who, under the guidance of a faculty or staff mentor, have engaged in research or scholarship on campus or through extramural opportunities.
COSS provides undergraduate students from all disciplines and levels of experience the opportunity to present high-quality research, scholarship, and creative works in a public venue; to connect with alumni; and to explore the intersections of research, vocation, and career preparedness.
COSS invites the campus and broader community to engage with student presenters as they showcase their achievements through a variety of scholarly projects.
COSS is sponsored by the Office of Undergraduate Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity.
