Symposium Overview

Southwestern University will hold its fourth university-wide Undergraduate Research and Creative Works Symposium on Saturday, March 22, 2003. Sponsored by all University departments, the symposium will serve as a vehicle for students to present the results of their research or creative work, and will be open to all students at SU. The symposium will be modeled after a typical conference (registration, abstract submissions, concurrent sessions, etc.), and abstracts will be published together in a bound volume.

Students are invited and encouraged to present some aspect of their research in a contributed paper, poster, or creative work. Southwestern University hopes that you will be able to attend the Undergraduate Research and Creative Works Symposium of 2003, in order to participate in an exchange of formal and informal information and ideas with colleagues.

Contributed papers (oral/podium presentations) will be 12 minutes in length with 3 minutes for questions.

Contributed posters will fit onto bulletin boards that are 8 ft tall and 4 ft wide.

Creative works (i.e. displayed artwork) will be displayed as appropriate.
