A community tradition for over 20 years, the Centenary Research Conference is modeled on long-standing academic traditions of conference-based information sharing and feedback.  

Every year, Centenary students and faculty are invited to present their best works of exploration and invention at our annual All-Campus Research Conference. 

Here are the winners from this year, which were announced at Honors Convocation on Friday, May 6, 2022.
