Student Inquiry & Research Office
Student Inquiry and Research (SIR) supports student investigations conducted on and off-campus. Formalized in and evolving since 1989, the SIR department provides a framework for students to conduct original investigations on compelling questions of interest, collaborate with other students and professional researchers, and to share their investigation results through public presentations and publications.Student participation varies slightly each year, but recent trends suggest that about 75% of all IMSA students will conduct at least one investigation during their enrollment at the Academy.
IMSAloquium is a student showcase of investigations which provides a forum where all students conducting Student Inquiry and Research investigations will share their work with the IMSA community for peer review and discussion. IMSAloquium is held during the spring semester every year.
