[Amy Savage]

Hi All,

I just wanted to pass along this information about a Triangle-wide graduate student symposium in Ecology and the Environment. Pass it along to any students who you think might be interested!!

Best,

Amy

The graduate students in the Curriculum for the Environment and Ecology at UNC are holding their second annual student research seminar.  This year they have expanded the event to be inter-institutional (UNC, NCSU and Duke) and I am pasting the information below with hopes that you would be willing to pass it along through formal and informal channels to let applied ecology students (and any other ecology students) know they are welcome.  Let me know if I can provide any additional information, this was a great event last year and should be even better this time.

Thanks in advance,

Mike

The UNC Curriculum for the Environment and Ecology cordially invites all students with research interests in ecology and the environment to present their work!! The 2nd annual CEE Student Research Symposium will be held Saturday, Feb 22, 2014, at the North Carolina Botanical Garden. This student-run event will consist of a series of short oral presentations on students' research, followed by question and answer sessions.  The Symposium will likewise feature a poster hall to increase the total number of participants beyond what the lecture time constraints could support. 

This inter-institutional function is designed to bring together students and faculty affiliated with CEE and related departments at UNC, NCSU, and Duke. This Symposium is the first of its kind for the Research Triangle and seeks to showcase the strength of student research on environmental topics to potential collaborators, visiting students and the greater community. Any graduate or undergraduate student with ecological or environmental-related research is welcome to present. The event will be held from 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM and will be open to the public.

Registration is free and open until Friday, January 31.  You can register to present using the following link:

If you have questions or concerns, please contact Dennis Tarasi (tar...@live.unc.edu).  We hope you can join us!
