Meredith Symposium to Feature Research of Underrepresented Undergrads

The College of Arts & Sciences is home to a new undergraduate research symposium for students across all scientific disciplines within and outside the college. Chemistry professor Robert Doyle, Laura J. and L. Douglas Meredith Professor of Teaching Excellence, is organizing the inaugural Meredith Symposium, to be held on Oct. 22. “The symposium will showcase research going on across the sciences—from philosophy of science through physics, chemistry, forensics, engineering, materials science and beyond. It’s really a full gambit of research investigations,” Doyle says. Undergraduates who have conducted one full semester of research and are eligible for participation in SU’s Women in Science and Engineering or McNair programs are encouraged to apply before 5 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 7, To be considered for inclusion, students simply need to submit a 400-word abstract of previous research on the Meredith Symposium website.
