MURFREESBORO — Students and faculty who are preparing for the sixth annual Scholars Week 2012 must submit their abstracts by Tuesday, Feb. 28, said Dr. Andrienne Friedli, Undergraduate Research Center director, chemistry professor and chair of the organizing committee.

Abstracts should be submitted online. Go to http://www.mtsu.edu/research/scholars_week.shtml and click on “abstract form.” Scholars Week will be held March 26-30 at different venues across campus.

Scholars Week events will include a week of department and college activities in discipline-specific venues for presentation of graduate, undergraduate and faculty scholarship.

Planned activities will include talks, readings, performances, posters, multimedia performances, as well as invited speakers and an appreciation luncheon for faculty presenters and mentors, Friedli said.

The celebration of Scholars Week will culminate in a universitywide showcase of posters, multimedia and performance on Friday, March 30, starting at 12:40 p.m. in Murphy Center, Friedli said. A group of judges will select the top three poster winners from each of the colleges within the University.
