URECA CELEBRATION: undergraduate research posters & talks - April 28 (Wed.) The annual URECA Celebration of Undergraduate Research & Creative Activity provides a professional and friendly setting for students to present their research and to see what's going on in their own and other departments. A central component is a large all-day poster session. There are also oral presentations/symposia in several areas (e.g. English, History Psychology Departments; CEAS Senior Design, Nanotechnology Studies, College of Business). Any SBU undergraduate participating in mentored research (working with grad students, post docs and/or faculty; taking independent research classes; and/or working on a senior project/thesis) is invited to participate. Students benefit by gaining experience in presenting their work, discussing their project with faculty and other colleagues in the campus community, and learning about the work of their fellow students. Undergraduate abstracts will be published in URECA Collected Abstracts 2009-2010 . The URECA Celebration will be held on Wednesday, April 28 at the Student Activities Center (10 am - 4pm). The event is sponsored by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) and the Center for Science & Math Education (CESAME) . Deadline for abstract submission / participation forms: March 24 For more information, see http://www.stonybrook.edu/ureca/celebration.shtml or contact Karen Kernan by telephone or email. ********************************************************************* Karen Kernan Director, Programs for Research and Creative Activity Office of Undergraduate Academic Affairs (UAA) N3005 Melville Library, Stony Brook University Stony Brook, New York 11794-3357 tel: (631) 632-7114 / fax: (631) 632-4525 karen.kernan@stonybrook.edu URECA Webpage: http://www.stonybrook.edu/ureca/ URECA Researcher of the Month: http://www.stonybrook.edu/ureca/researcher-month.shtml URECA Celebration (more info): http://www.stonybrook.edu/ureca/celebration.shtml URECA Summer Research - http://www.stonybrook.edu/ureca/ureca%20summer.shtml (applications for URECA summer program are due March 15)
