CALL FOR PAPERS!
We announce the 7th annual symposium to recognize outstanding undergraduate students in polymer science and engineering. We ask each department (e.g., chemistry, chemical engineering, or polymer/material science) to send their best undergraduate students to speak or display a poster on his or her original research in this special symposium.
Twenty travel awards for $250 will be provided for the participating organizations. Departments, please choose your award winner, and notify the coordinators by October 17, 2011. We welcome additional submissions from each university, but only one travel award per institution is available.
In addition to the travel awards, $500 Best Oral Presentation and Best Poster Presentation Awards sponsored by the POLY Industrial Advisory Board will be awarded at the meeting.
