Dear POLY members,

CALL FOR PAPERS!
Greetings! We would like to notify you of an upcoming symposium to recognize 
outstanding undergraduate students in polymer science and engineering. 

UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH IN POLYMER SCIENCE 2007 SPRING NATIONAL ACS MEETING
March 25-29, 2007
Chicago, IL
Sponsored by:
Division of Polymer Chemistry
AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY

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

Three best papers and three best posters will receive cash awards 

Nomination

We request that each department (e.g., chemistry, chemical engineering, or 
polymer/material science) nominate outstanding undergraduate students to speak 
or display a poster on his or her original research in this special symposium. 
The nomination deadline is November 14, 2006. We would hope that the student's 
advisor or the Department would be able to fund the student's travel to the 
meeting.

Documents Needed

The nominated 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 November 14, 2006 There are two separate lines on the OASys 
for the symposium: oral or poster. Either can be used for entry purposes. A 
decision will be made later as to the choice of a given paper for oral or poster 
presentation. 


If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. Thank you in advance 
for your interest and participation.
