Undergrads invited to show work
The 11th Annual Undergraduate Research and Creativity Conference will be held at Albright College on Saturday, April 17. The conference is an opportunity for undergraduates to present their research or creative work with other students and the community. Examples of academic and creative work that are suitable for the conference include paper presentations, poster displays, films, art exhibitions and performances.
The conference is open to all undergraduate students who would like to present academic or creative work. The submission deadline is March 19. Registration forms (along with presentation information and requirements) are available at http://albright. edu/HECBC. A record 60 KU students participated in the conference last year.
At this year’s conference, the Keynote speaker will be Brent J. Hurley, a 2001 graduate of Albright College and one of the founders of YouTube. The Higher Education Council of Berks County (HECBC) — which includes KU, Albright College, Alvernia College, Penn State University (Berks Campus), and Reading Area Community College — is the sponsor for the conference.
According to the HECBC’s Web site, students should “select scholarly or creative work that you have done in the past year and would like to share with other students and faculty. Meet with a faculty member who has helped or would help you with this presentation and who will serve as your sponsor. Work with this faculty sponsor to discuss and propose an abstract describing the work. Complete the proposal form, making sure that you include contact information for your faculty sponsor.”
