You are cordially invited to join us at the Eighteenth Annual UCI Undergraduate Research Symposium on Saturday, May 14, 2011, in the Humanities Buildings. This stimulating day-long event provides an excellent opportunity for you, UCI faculty and staff, parents, alumni, members of the media, and the outside community to participate actively in communicating about research and creative activities in all academic fields. The Symposium gives students a rich experience in the presentation aspect of the research process through their oral and/or poster presentations and discussions.
We encourage you to make a presentation at the Symposium or to attend and learn about the research endeavors of your fellow undergraduates.
