We will provide transportation for A&M-Commerce students participating in the Symposium.  The bus will leave from and return to the Commerce campus.  Once registered, you will receive additional information concerning the itinerary and where to board the university bus.

The Symposium is open to all Texas A&M-Commerce graduate students for master and doctoral level research. The Federation Research Symposium provides an opportunity for students to present research in a poster format while interacting and discussing the research with faculty, judges, and other participants. The symposium also provides the participants with a broad exposure to the Federation research community.
