Abstract Submission

Students can submit their abstract via email, along with a short note from their advisor verifying that their work will be completed by that time, to Dr. Miranda Bowie at mbowie(at)una.edu. (Clearly that (at) is an @).  Abstracts submission deadline is April 8.  We do not anticipate judging talks this year, but all speakers will receive a 3D Printed Pi Pencil Cup as a thank you for speaking, as well as a certificate.  See the Call for Papers here.  See the pencil cup here (colors may vary).
