The Council on Undergraduate Research has issued a call for students to submit an abstract of their research to be considered for presentation at the 16th annual undergraduate poster session on Capitol Hill. This event, to be held during the Spring of 2012, will help members of Congress understand the importance of undergraduate research by providing them the opportunity to interact with the students who are directly impacted by undergraduate research programs. If you are interested and/or need help preparing an abstract for submission, please see Dr. Avtgis for more information. Abstracts are due by October 18, 2011.
