Conferences and Workshop
15th Annual Symposium in the Chemical and Biological Sciences at UMBC
The Symposium invites mentor-approved contributions from undergraduates investigating any aspect of chemistry, biology and biochemistry. These advances will be disseminated in a daylong event that typically offers nearly 200 student contributions and gathers more than 400 beginning scientists, mentors,and other guests. The event features two poster sessions with posters judged by panels of participating mentors and other qualified attendees. Judges will rank first and second place posters in each category with non-financial awards presented at the event’s end. Registration is free and required. Light-fare refreshments and lunch will be provided.
