Undergraduate Research Conference
36th Annual Undergraduate Research Conference
Friday, April 16, 2010
April 17, 2009 Conference Program
The College takes seriously the role of research in the
liberal arts education of undergraduates. Students regularly benefit
from direct contact with our research faculty and are empowered and
encouraged to conduct their own inquiries. All undergraduates at the
University are invited to participate in and present their research at
the College’s 36th annual Undergraduate Research Conference on Friday,
April 16, 2010. Projects showcasing undergraduate work in the Natural
Sciences, Social Sciences and Humanities are welcome. The work may have
been done in connection with a course or as independent or supervised
study.
An important part of the application process is the
research abstract. Each student or team must submit a single-spaced
abstract of 150 to 200 words. The language used should be understood
not only by someone knowledgeable in the field but also by a reasonably
informed non-specialist. The abstract should address the problem or
question under investigation, the methods used, and (anticipated or
achieved) results and conclusions. The project mentor should review and
approve this abstract before it is submitted. For team presentations,
only one abstract is required, although each team member must complete
the application form.
A faculty selection committee will
determine the Conference schedule of presentations. Presentations at
the Conference can be made by individuals or teams and are either by
poster or by talk. Those students selected for talks should prepare a
presentation no more than eight to ten minutes long.
Applications to participate in the Conference are available online.
Submission deadline for completed application and publication release:
5:00 PM, Monday, February 1, 2010
Submission deadline for abstract:
5:00 PM, Monday, March 22, 2010
