This is a
reminder of the Friday, January 25, 2019
(5:00 p.m.) deadline for submission of abstracts for the Tenth Annual College of Arts and Sciences Undergraduate
Research and Creative Activity (URCA) Symposium. This event will highlight
the research, scholarly, and creative activities of students throughout the
College of Arts and Sciences, and will be held on Tuesday, April 9, 2019. Please
consider submitting your work for this event.
The URCA
committee will hold an abstract writing
workshop on Tuesday, January 15th
at 7:30-9:00 p.m. in room 217 Kettering in order to assist students in
polishing their abstracts.
All students
who are declared majors in a program within the College of Arts and Sciences
are invited to participate in this year’s Symposium. Group
projects in which some members are majoring outside of the College of Arts and
Sciences will be considered by the URCA Committee. Current students, as well as December 2018 graduates, are
welcome to present their work. Presenters
may choose to give an oral presentation, poster presentation, exhibition, or performance.
All presentations should have a
significant research or creative component; examples of such include, but are
not limited to, summer research conducted at Ashland University or elsewhere, results
of independent study projects, thesis work, literary readings or analysis,
musical or theatrical performances, and exhibitions of artwork. All abstracts submitted require approval of a
faculty sponsor who is familiar with the student’s work and can attest to the
quality of the work.
Examples of
acceptable abstracts from the prior years’ events, as well as detailed
submission instructions for the abstracts are posted on the URCA blog (http://ashlandurca.blogspot.com). If you have any questions about
presenting at the Symposium or the abstract submission process, please contact Jeff
Weidenhamer, Director of the URCA Symposium, at jweiden@ashland.edu.
