Announcing Student Workshops:
Workshops Submission Deadline: March 21, 2008

11th Annual Graduate Student Workshop (whole day)
Students present research to a mentor panel and receive feedback about results, methodology, future direction, and presentation style. Students will also be invited present their work as a poster at the Tuesday evening Poster Session.
An excellent opportunity to network with industry and academic members of the community. Submit 4-page paper describing your current research.

6th Annual Undergraduate Student Workshop (half day)
Students hone their research presentation skills with two presentations: at the workshop to other students and mentors, and the Poster Session to active researchers. Submit a 4-page paper describing your senior research, summer, or exceptional course project.
