Feb. 26 deadline nears
for MTSU Scholars Week abstracts
MURFREESBORO — MTSU students and faculty mentors who are
preparing for the seventh annual Scholars Week 2013 must submit their abstract
proposals by Tuesday, Feb. 26, said Dr. Andrienne Friedli, Undergraduate
Research Center director, chemistry professor and chair of the organizing
committee.
Abstracts
should be submitted online via the Abstract Submission
Form. The online abstract submissions will include a project
title and 150- to 300-word summary of the research project. Only abstract
submissions with undergraduate and graduate students as first authors will be
eligible for judging and prizes.
Scholars Week
will be held April 1-5. 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 university-wide showcase of posters,
multimedia and performance on Friday, April 5, from 12:40 to 2:45 p.m. on the
Murphy Center track level. A group of judges will select the winners from each
of the colleges within the university.
Provost Brad
Bartel serves as executive chair of the approximately 15-member Scholars Week
Committee.
