Every year hundreds of Stanford students conduct independent research projects and submit them for publication through SURJ. Although it is a very competitive process, the most promising papers across all academic fields enter a rigorous editing process resulting in a May publication. Until now, primary authors have been restricted to Stanford students, but this year SURJ hopes to pilot a national outreach program to incorporate stimulating and cutting edge student research from select schools.</SPAN><O:P style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; "></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P><P class="MsoNormal"><FONT size="3" face="Times New Roman"><SPAN lang="DE" style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; "> </SPAN><O:P style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; "></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P><P class="MsoNormal"><FONT size="3" face="Times New Roman"><SPAN lang="DE" style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; ">Through strict evaluative criteria our hope is to accept research from outside of Stanford and work with these authors to publish with SURJ in the Spring of 2007.

Incidentally, you may also direct these students to our website for more information and past publications: </SPAN><A href="http://www.surj.stanford.edu"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; ">surj.stanford.edu</SPAN></A><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; ">.
