Concordia College will host the 2026 URSCA Symposium — also known as the Celebration of Student Scholars (COSS) — on Wednesday, April 15. Now in its 17th year, this annual spring tradition highlights the depth and breadth of undergraduate research, scholarship, and creative activity across campus.
Students will share their work through poster sessions, art exhibitions, and concurrent sessions, alongside department and program showcases. The day also includes awards, prizes, and other activities celebrating student achievement.
Events begin at 8 a.m., and friends, family, and community members are welcome to attend.
