Graduate Research Review Email
Fellow Students, I would like to invite you all
to contribute your abstracts for the Graduate
Research Review, a new publication sponsored by
fellow students through the Graduate Student
Senate. We are accepting abstracts for posters
and talks presented at scientific and
professional conferences. Currently, web
submission is available at http//www.lehigh-gs
s.org/grr/abstract.php It should as easy as
copying and pasting. The submitted abstract
must have been presented at a conference between
Mar. 1, 2007 and June 30, 2008. The deadline for
submission is Feb 29. The Graduate Research
Review will be published shortly thereafter, and
a reception is to follow near the end of the
semester. Thank you all, and have a great day.
