2008 SPRING NATIONAL ACS MEETING
April 6-10, 2008
New Orleans, LA
Undergraduate Research in Polymer Science
Sponsored by
Division of Polymer Chemistry
AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY
CALL FOR PAPERS!

We announce the 3rd 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. We would hope that the student's advisor or the Department would be able to fund the student's travel to the meeting, however additionally this year we will have travel awards available to top candidates.

Objective

This meeting is intended to provide recognition to outstanding undergraduate students in polymer science and engineering, to foster networking and exposure, and to help develop the careers of future leaders in both academia and industry.

Awards

The top ten preprints submitted will receive travel awards. Additionally, the top two outstanding posters and oral presentations will receive monetary awards.
If further funds become available, more travel awards will be distributed.

Documents Needed

Student should enter the abstract and the preprint of his or her presentation to the OASys http://oasys.acs.org , under "Undergraduate Research in Polymer Science" by October 28, 2007. Students may request poster or oral presentation. PREPRINT is required.
