That's right everyone! The Third Annual UGRC is coming up at the end of March! For those of you who don't know about this event, it is essentially an opportunity for undergrad students to showcase their abilities in various subjects and formats, ranging from essays to posters. I was in the conference last year with an Education research project and am exploring the possibility of participating again this year, so I can give you a few of the deets, and admit that I am a hardcore geeky dork.
The UGRC is the last Friday and Saturday of March, usually starting in the evening on Friday with and introduction to the weekend and speeches by all the important people around, then followed by the posters being on display with the presenters there to answer questions. The posters are on display Saturday as well, but the presenters usually are not present. Last year the posters ranged from Education to Chemistry to Geography. Then on Saturday, those with papers present and anyone in the university is welcome to attend. It really is a great opportunity for anyone looking to showcase their talent and research and to be recognized beyond the class level. Also, if you're looking into grad school, it is great experience and looks fantastic on an application.
If you're thinking you don't have time to write a whole new paper or do a whole new research project, never fear! This is actually to present research you have already done!
If you'd like more information because you're a hardcore geeky dork like me, or at least starting to convert to our side, I don't think there is a website right now, but your professors should have the information for you and I'm sure most would be more than willing to help you along. I believe the proposals are due this Friday, March 15! So get a move on and apply!
