The Showcase of Osprey Advancements in Research and Scholarship (SOARS) is an annual interdisciplinary conference at the University of North Florida (UNF) in which undergraduate and graduate students showcase their research or creative projects during Research Week. SOARS is a welcoming environment where students refine their presentation skills through interaction with peers and faculty as they explain their projects, which can be in various stages of development and presented in either poster format or as an oral presentation.
