From Dean Finney. I think this would be perfect for any of our PG seniors who have finished or are working on their senior theses. And if you are thinking at all about graduate school, you should seriously consider getting a conference under your belt.
At last Friday's department chairs meeting I mentioned that the University of Puget Sound is participating in the University of Washington's Tenth Undergraduate Research Symposium, to be held on Friday, May 18, 2007, from 12 Noon to 5:00 p.m. in Mary Gates Hall on the UW campus. Please forward this message to students you know who are actively engaged in research and who may be interested in participating.
According to the invitation we received from the UW, "The Symposium includes a large poster session and concurrent multi-disciplinary presentation sessions, featuring student work from all academic disciplines. It is a high-energy event, well attended by students, faculty, and community members. We hope that your students will view this as an opportunity to gain experience presenting their work to a broader audience. Materials from last year's event can be found at http://www.washington.edu/research/urp/symp/programs.html
and posters will be mailed to you directly. Students who wish to present their research must complete an application form by the deadline February 23, 2007. The application is available on line at: www.washington.edu/research/urp/symp. All students selected to present their work will have their abstracts published in the symposium proceedings.
If you are interested in participating in this symposium, I encourage you to visit the web site mentioned above and to apply online. If you do apply, please send me an email to let me know that you have applied. Depending on how many students participate, we may be able to provide a university van for transportation to the symposium.
