$10K in prizes
to reward undergraduate research,
public service activitiesThe Fourth Annual Conference on Undergraduate Research, Scholarly, Creative, and Public Service Activities took place May 1. Twenty nine UMass Boston undergraduates presented papers, posters, or other projects. Students participated from the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Nursing, and the College of Public and Community Service.
The conference, held at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston from 9:30 to 4:00 p.m., was open to undergraduates from all public institutions of higher education in Massachusetts for the first time. In past years, the conference included only participants from the four University of Massachusetts undergraduate campuses, and was held at UMass Amherst.
University President William Bulger and Stanley Koplik, Chancellor of the Board of Higher Education, were on hand to welcome participants. President Bulger also closed the conference by awarding $10,000 in cash prizes to participants on the basis of presentation, content and delivery.
