Student Research Conference Abstracts Due Feb. 19

Abstracts for this year’s Student Research Conference are due by 11:59 p.m. Feb. 19.
 
The 29th annual Student Research Conference will take place April 19. The conference is a University-wide celebration of student research, scholarship and creative achievements. Both undergraduate and graduate students are invited to submit abstracts.
 
Abstracts should be submitted online at src.truman.edu. All abstracts need to be sponsored by a Truman faculty or staff member. A copy of the information submitted will be sent electronically to the student presenter’s mentor for approval. Students should work with the faculty mentor before submitting the abstract to minimize multiple drafts in the system.
 
In addition to the many student presentations, the day will feature a conference-wide plenary address delivered by Truman alumnus Dr. Greg Gerhardt (’79), professor of anatomy and neurobiology at the University of Kentucky and director of the Morris K. Udall Parkinson’s Disease Research Center.
 
Faculty-requested special sessions are included in the discipline options. Students planning to present in such a session should look for the specific discipline designation when submitting their abstracts. Faculty members interested in a requesting a discipline designation should contact Sherril Pearce by emailing osr@truman.edu.
