RISC Showcase submission deadline is March 27!
 Any undergraduate student who has completed a research project or creative endeavor of any type is encouraged to present his or her research at the seventh annual Vectren RISC Showcase, to be held Thursday and Friday, April 10-11.Projects may be in-class or independent research, including literature-based projects, field-based projects, musically-related projects, artistic projects, business analysis projects, etc. Research may be presented as an oral presentation or a visual presentation (including posters, pictures, photographs, or sculptures). The research need not have been funded by RISC to be eligible for presentation at the showcase. Students should submit a brief summary or abstract of their research online. (Click on the appropriate submission form on the left of the page.) The deadline to submit research or creative works abstracts is Thursday, March 27, 2008. Student presenters will have the opportunity to present their research to the University community and attend a banquet with this year’s keynote speaker, Dr. Robert Pinsky, former United States Poet Laureate. Pinsky will present the RISC Showcase keynote address at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 10, in Carter Hall in the University Center. The RISC program is designed to encourage independent faculty-guided undergraduate research and creative projects. RISC grants, administered by the Center for Teaching and Learning Excellence, provide students with funding to initiate or continue such projects, and the RISC Showcase provides an arena for them to present, demonstrate, or display their academic work to fellow students, faculty members, and the public. For more information, contact Dr. Jim Durbin, RISC program chair and associate professor of geology, at 812/465-1208. |
