Honors conference

The Honors Conference at UMass Amherst will take place Friday, April 25.  This is an exciting event, fun and intellectually stimulating to participate in, and a great boost to your transfer applications and resume!  You can present your work as a poster, or, if you want, an oral presentation.  If you want to do an oral presentation please talk to Prof. Frashure and me--most students choose to do poster presentations.

Please sign up and submit your abstract here by February 12th: https://www.honors.umass.edu/undergraduate-research-conference

NOTE: Look at this from the website! 
Due to technical difficulties, we will accept
Abstract submissions  until 11:59 p.m. on Friday, February 14, 2014.
 

Here is the handbook from last year's Honors Conference which includes abstracts.  These can serve as models for yours. 

Don't forget: abstracts are due February 12th by 11:59 PM

Things for tonight
