Subject: Reminder: 11th Annual Graduate Student and Faculty Research Conference

 

This year’s Graduate Student and Faculty Research Conference will be held on Saturday, April 14, 2012 in the University Center. The conference seeks to foster greater understanding among graduate students and faculty about how scholarship is approached and conducted in the various disciplines. This year’s conference will take place one day after UMCUR, the UM Conference on Undergraduate Research, in an effort to bring together university researchers at every level.

 

Graduate students: This conference is interdisciplinary and we encourage the participation of students from all disciplines and departments! This is a great opportunity to gain professional experience and build your CV! Please see our call for abstracts for more information.

 

Faculty members: To make this conference successful and to realize its interdisciplinary goal we need the support of faculty. We are currently seeking faculty volunteers to:
