Student symposium registration deadline is Friday

Symposium 2003 is Aug. 6 and 7 at the University of New Mexico, Los Alamos. The Laboratory-sponsored event provides college students and postdoctoral appointees an opportunity to present their scientific research to peers, Laboratory mentors, technical staff and representatives from industry, academia, government agencies and professional societies.

The registration deadline for the student symposium is on Friday.

Students should register as soon as possible, said Student Symposium Coordinator Leah Sandoval of the Education Programs (STB-EPO) Office. She said that each abstract submitted will require an LA-UR number, which may take three to seven days to process by Classification (S-7).

Space limitations also make it a good idea to register as soon as possible, Sandoval noted.

A forum to make professional contacts, the symposium provides a unique opportunity for students and postdoctoral appointees to present their research. The intent of the symposium is to broaden students' and postdoctoral appointees' expertise and prepare them for careers in science and non-technical fields, said Sandoval.
