What is MURALS?
MURALS is an undergraduate research, leadership, and artistry symposium that provides a platform for undergraduate students to showcase their scholarly work. MURALS is open to any undergraduate participant, is rigorous, and relevant.
On Friday, April 2, 2027, students will present their scholarly work (creative writing, visual and performing arts, entrepreneurship, S.T.E.M.M., social sciences, humanities) while graduate students and faculty provide feedback to improve their projects. Faculty, staff, and grad students with research backgrounds may also serve as project guides for the undergraduate students. Throughout MURALS, students will have the opportunity to showcase their scholarly work and represent themselves, their departments, and colleges to faculty, staff, peers, alumni, administration and FAMILY!
At the end of the day, awards and accolades will be presented to students, and we will also acknowledge CSU alumni.
