IGNITE Symposium

Farmingdale's IGNITE Symposium is a celebration of students joining together to collectively share ideas, discoveries, and cutting-edge research through poster presentations and speeches. The IGNITE Symposium is an annual display of Farmingdale State College’s dedication to student research, applied learning, civic engagement, and creative works.
This event is open to all students who have participated in either Undergraduate Research, Applied-Learning, Civic Engagement projects, or creative works throughout the academic year.
Students will have an opportunity to showcase their work either in a traditional poster presentation session or in a TEDTalk-style lecture series entitled Spark Speakers. Additional details and instructions on how to apply to present can be found on the IGNITE Webpage.
