18th Annual Undergraduate Symposium
in the Chemical and Biological Sciences
We are very pleased to announce that the 18th Annual Undergraduate Research Symposium in the Chemical and Biological Sciences will take place on Saturday, October 3, 2015 at UMBC.
As in prior years, the Symposium invites mentor-approved submissions from undergraduates investigating any aspect of chemistry, biology, or biochemistry. Research results will be disseminated in a daylong event that typically offers more than 200 student contributions and gathers more than 400 beginning scientists, mentors, and other guests. The event features two sessions of posters judged by pairs of participating mentors and other qualified attendees. Judges will rank first and second place posters in each category with non-financial awards presented at the event’s end. STEM-focused workshops offered during the morning and afternoon will be of added interest to student researchers.
