Hi Rose,

I hope your semester is going well so far.

Per our discussion the other day, here is more information on adopting a marine mammal:

I have also attached information on an undergraduate research conference. You may want to distribute the info to your fellow members. It would be nice if we could find some student presenters to represent SJSU.

Best,

Dr. Laraway

Subject: Undergraduate Psychology Research Conference - April 17

Dear Colleagues:

Happy New Year. Despite the rough economy, the Western Psychology Conference for Undergraduate Research provides a wonderful, affordable venue for your students from your Experimental/Research Methods courses to present their course projects or independent research and gain valuable experience. This year mark's the 5th Anniversary that the Conference will be held on the campus of Saint Mary's College of California and the 40th Anniversary overall since the conference began at Santa Clara University. 

This year's conference will be held on Saturday, April 17, 2010. The deadline for submitting abstracts is April 2nd. The conference registration fee is $30.00 (which includes lunch).

This is an excellent opportunity for your students to gain valuable experience presenting their work in a professional setting. It also provides them an opportunity to meet with other students and faculty members who share their interests.

Teaching and students are at the core of our mission as educators. For more information or reservation, please contact me at kog...@stmarys-ca.edu or call 925-631-4072. A conference web site will be up shortly and a conference flier sent to you in the coming day.

Thank you, and I hope to see you and your students at the conference!

Sincerely,
