About CUSSS

The Carolina Undergraduate Social Science Symposium (CUSSS) operates under the auspices of the South Carolina Sociological Association (SCSA). The Symposium provides undergraduate students the opportunity to present their research at a professional meeting with the support of faculty. Presentations should be based on research that students have created in or because of one of their upper-level social science courses.



Newberry College will be hosting CUSSS 2024, on April 18 and 19. Dr. Danielle Lewis (danielle.lewis@newberry.edu) is the organizer. There will be a public lecture the evening of Thursday (6:00 pm) and the symposium will happen on Friday (8:30 am – 2:00 pm). Stay tuned for more information!


Registration is $20/per person, which includes lunch. There is a discounted price of $15/per person for groups of 8 or more, including faculty or guests. Non-presenting students are also welcome to simply attend and observe. (Students are required to present to enter the research paper, poster, and presentation competitions).


Our program for the 2024 symposium is at the bottom of this page.
