On Air With Student Affairs
Season 2 Episode 14
What happens when thousands of Aggies bring their research into one room for a week? Innovation, inspiration and career transformation.
In this episode of On Air with Student Affairs, host Elizabeth Drake sits down with the student committee behind Texas A&M’s Student Research Week (SRW) to talk about student research happening on campus and what makes this symposium unlike anything else in the nation.
As an R1 research institution, Texas A&M students don’t only get to benefit from this designation, they get to contribute to it and SRW is proof of that. From biomedical labs to public health fieldwork and nearly every other discipline you can imagine, these students aren’t just studying the world, they’re actively working to change it.
Whether you’re a seasoned researcher or someone new to presenting who doesn’t think their work is “ready yet” this episode is for you. Spoiler: it is ready, and there’s nothing to lose by showing up. Any Aggie can participate in Student Research Week and gain valuable skills along the way.
Student Research Week 2026 runs March 16–20. Abstracts are due March 3rd. Our pro-tip? Even if you aren’t presenting this year, stop by to see all the cutting-edge research going on around you, you might be amazed at what you find!
