National Conference for Undergraduate Research Info Session

Interested in presenting your thesis or independent research on a national level? Would you like an opportunity to be published in a national journal of undergraduate research? Does a funded trip to Ithaca College to present your research pique your fancy?

Come out to our info session on Wednesday, November 3rd to find out more about NCUR, the National Conference for Undergraduate Research! We will also be talking about unique scholarship opportunity provided by LAUNCH for select students admitted to present their research at NCUR.

NCUR provides a national stage and professional setting for students involved in undergraduate research to present their work, and also provides an opportunity for participants to be exposed to academic work in a wide variety of fields and topics.

Anyone with an idea can submit an abstract; a completed, or even started research project is not necessary at all for acceptance into the conference.

If you have any questions, please contact us at programs_chair@launchut.org. If you cannot make the info session, definitely read up on it and apply independently by 5 p.m. Friday, November 19th, 2010.

Thanks for your time–
