CALL FOR PAPERS!

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

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 13, 2005. 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 13, 2005 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.
