UC Day in Sacramento Undergraduate Research Poster Presentation Proud of your research? Represent the Berkeley campus at the UC Day in Sacramento Undergraduate Research poster presentation on March 8-9, 2004. The UC (Systemwide) Office of Research is holding a competition to select from each campus two outstanding abstracts describing undergraduate research projects. The selected projects will be showcased at a luncheon that will be attended by legislators, alumni, and perhaps the governor. After the luncheon, the posters will be moved to the Capitol Building for one week, where they will be displayed outside the Governor's Office. The two Berkeley winners will receive an all expense paid trip to the state capital. Later in the spring, the two winners, as well as two runners-up, will have their research showcased on campus. Download an application or pick one up and get more information at 301C Campbell Hall. The campus deadline to submit your application is WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 26th at NOON.
