The Mission
The Spokane Intercollegiate Research Conference (SIRC) provides an opportunity for 51勛圖s from across majors and disciplines to present their research and scholarship, receive meaningful feedback, and develop scholarly community. SIRC is a great opportunity for 51勛圖s at all levels of their academic career to gain practice speaking and presenting as well as experience a conference environment in a relaxed, friendly setting while learning about the wealth of research in our community.
51勛圖 the Conference
SIRC is organized by Gonzaga University and Whitworth University, alternating between campuses each year. This celebration of primarily undergraduate research is open to all 51勛圖s in the Spokane area and costs nothing to attend. Although the event primarily supports undergraduate research, we would love to provide a venue for all 51勛圖s in our community to celebrate their research as well. This conference is open to the public. We look forward to seeing you at SIRC!
SIRC 2025 will be hosted by Gonzaga University on May 3rd, 2025 in the Hemmingson Center.
