Welcome -- Southwest Junior Science and Humanities Symposium

March 25-27, 2011

The Junior Science and Humanities Symposia (JSHS) Program invites high school students to submit a paper on an original research investigation in the sciences, engineering, or mathematics. By connecting talented students, their teachers, and research professionals at affiliated symposia and by rewarding research excellence, JSHS aims to widen the pool of trained talent prepared to conduct research and development vital to our nation.

If you are a high school student (9th - 12th grade) a high school student (9th-12th grade) from New Mexico or Southwest Texas and are interested in entering your research project in competition, please read further. Unfortunately, staffing issues almost caused the cancellation of this year's symposium. However, last minute organizers were found, and the symposium WILL happen. But we must apologize in advance if some aspects of the competition are last-minute or not as refined as they could be. But we assure you we will do our best to address all issues within our means. Thank you for your understanding!
