2008 PURC Forum

The Pembroke Undergraduate Research and Creativity Center Advisory Council is very proud to announce its second annual campus-wide celebration of undergraduate research and creative activities, set for Wednesday, April 23.  Student participation and presentations are invited from all scholarly fields and disciplines.  This is a wonderful opportunity for you to share your scholarly activities with your peers, faculty members and university administrators.

 

Presentation Formats:
Students are encouraged to adapt their presentations to the standard poster format.  Easels, poster boards (3 x 4 ft) and pushpins will be provided at the Forum.  Posters must be printed prior to the event.  The PURC Center will conduct a Poster Preparation Workshop on Wednesday April 9th, from 3-4 PM.  Presenters will be notified of the location for this workshop upon abstract submission.

Other presentation formats will be considered if deemed reasonable.
