From the 2020 UM Student Symposium: Call for Abstracts Announcement

The Center for Undergraduate Research and Graduate Student Government invites the submission of student research and creative activities abstracts from ALL disciplines to be presented at the 2020 UMaine Student Symposium. Presentations may be for posters, oral presentations, or exhibits/performances. Submissions must be in the form of an abstract (250 words max) describing the focus, method or process, and outcomes of the project following discipline/program-specific standards as advised by faculty mentors.
