I mentioned circling the date last semester, but now is the time you can apply to present at the Undergraduate Research Symposium. If you have been working a research project with faculty, or as part of an independent study course, or perhaps a unique course project (not scripted homework, but an independently developed project), then you should consider turning it into a poster or presentation for the URS.
This is an excellent experience and looks great on a resume or CV. Even if you don’t submit and present this year, it’s an event worth attending, especially for newer students. Thursday, April 18. Illini Union. Details below.
