The Undergraduate Research Council of Valdosta State University invites undergraduate students to showcase their research, scholarship, and creative performances to the VSU community at the Second Annual Symposium on Undergraduate Research to be held on April 1-2, 2013 as part of the Presidential Inauguration Week. The purpose of the symposium is to provide students an opportunity to share research papers, laboratory experiments, field projects, creative performances and exhibitions, or independent study projects completed or in-progress between Spring Semester 2012 and Spring Semester 2013. Papers may be considered for publication in OMNINO, the online VSU undergraduate research journal.

Council representatives will submit the abstracts from their respective departments or programs by email to the symposium coordinator, Dr. James LaPlant (jlaplant@valdosta.edu).
