National Conference on Undergraduate Research 

It’s not too late to register for the National Conference on Undergraduate Research. The event showcases the work of hundreds of students from across the nation. Though NCUR is celebrating its 24th year now, UM-Flint has just recently began having students present at the event. If you would like to take your research up a notch and present at the national level, NCUR is for you. 

This year’s event will take place at the University of Montana. Once I know how many students are accepted to present, we will make our arrangements. The last date to submit an abstract is Dec. 4, 2009  The last date to submit an abstract has been extended to Dec. 9, 2009 by midnight.  Any interested students must have a faculty advisor and must list me as the institutional contact. Submit before it’s too late! For more information, please visit: http://www.umflint.edu/research/student_programs/NCUR/home.htm
