>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:

>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.
>
>So that we can plan for seating there is a necessary registration 
>requirement, but it is simple:
