Please
encourage your best students to apply to attend. Due to the success of the
previous symposia and the restricted number of attendees, we expect competition
for acceptance to be spirited. Only abstracts that report outcomes/results
will be competitive. Up to ten students will be selected from the submitted
abstracts to present a platform talk, and their faculty advisors will also
receive a travel award if necessary. All remaining student participants
will be expected to present a poster on their research.
Mentors
who write letters of reference for their students will be notified by e-mail if
their student's application was successful and will receive information about
how to register to attend with their students. We encourage you to attend with
your student(s). Full information, including the program from our 2017
Symposium is on our website (http://www.gs.emory.edu/STEM).
