<blockquote type="cite" cite>This is a reminder that this Thursday
(Oct 29) we are hosting an all-day symposium marking UROP's 4oth
Anniversary. The morning session starts with an introduction
from the President, and will feature two faculty keynotes. The
afternoon features ten concurrent sessions featuring individual,
group, and panel presentations on a broad spectrum of research areas;
our goal is to showcase the breadth of UROP work across all
disciplines. The day's events are described here: <a

<blockquote type="cite" cite>While I hope our friends in the
Department of Biology might be interested in the day's events as a
whole, we want to draw particular attention to the showcase featuring
members of the Tyler Jacks Lab; Prof. Jacks will be on hand for a
portion of the presentation (see blurb below). Over
the years the Jacks Lab have provided some wonderful opportunities for
UROP students to do cancer research; we are lucky that they have
agreed to be part of our celebration. </blockquote>

<blockquote type="cite" cite>So that we can plan for seating there is
a necessary registration requirement, but it is simple: <a
