MBURS 2021 Presentations
Under normal circumstances, the symposium takes place in person on Suffolk University's Boston campus; however, we are holding this year's symposium remotely and asynchronously. The video presentations here represent the culmination of many months of work on the part of the participants and their faculty advisors, so we encourage you to interact with the presenters in the comment space for each video.
