Student Research Opportunities

Students at Texas A&M University-Texarkana are encouraged to submit their scholarly work to academic conferences and outlets for publication, often in conjunction with faculty mentorship and guidance. This website will serve as a repository of opportunities for students across all disciplines to present their research at academic conferences or to publish in academic publications. We will update the website with information as it becomes available. If a faculty member or student would like to recommend a conference or journal for inclusion, please email joseph.burzynski@tamut.edu
