Academic Calendar

The Student Undergraduate Research Festival (SURF) is an annual celebration of Carroll College students’ research. The presentations and posters presented throughout the day represent the culmination of months, and in some cases, years of dedicated work and research on behalf of the students. Entering its tenth year, SURF has grown from a several hour event primarily focused on the sciences to one in which over 140 posters and presentations highlight the diversity of student-driven, inquiry-oriented research being undertaken in a variety of disciplines at Carroll.

More details on the festival including the program and full list of SURF participants can be found on the Student Undergraduate Research Festival webpage of the Carroll website.

(This is also the last date a student may totally withdraw from all of their classes.)
