Events

The College of Science presents our annual welcome back to campus event as part of Maverick Stampede for Spring 2025. We'll have free hot chocolate, coffee, and sweet treats, plus COS swag, and a student organization fair featuring many of our science student orgs.

The College of Science welcomes Asmeret Berhe, Ph.D., professor and Felasco Chair in Earth Sciences and Geology at the University of California, Merced. Dr. Berhe was director of the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science from May 2022 to March 2024, and was the first person of color to lead the office. Her research is broadly focused on soil science and global change science. Her research themes include the effect of climate changes (specifically rainfall and temperature) on storage and stabilization of soil organic matter; nano-scale biogeochemistry of iron oxides; erosion and terrestrial carbon sequestration; and political ecology of land degradation and ownership.

The Spring Swing Health Professions Fair offers students a chance to meet and talk to admissions staff, directors and deans from health professions schools, colleges and programs. Represented programs include medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, optometry, physician assistant, chiropractic, nursing, public health, military medicine, test prep services, and more.

The College of Science's annual Discover Student Research Symposium features the amazing research being done by our undergraduate and graduate students. The event is a hybrid of online poster viewing followed by a live exhibition of posters in CPB and a showcase of the best of undergraduate and graduate posters in the UTA Planetarium, with awards going to the top entries.
