Alyssa Tews, GIS Specialist

Come to the GIS Lab for a session with GIS Specialist, Alyssa Tews, to learn how GIS (geographic information systems) can be applied to your summer research. We will show you how data can be analyzed, visualized and presented in powerful ways. Not sure if your data or research will lend itself to GIS, bring any and all data with you and we will be happy to investigate it with you during or after the presentation.

 Chris Schacht, Director Writing Center

Writing an abstract for a research project is a complicated rhetorical task that masquerades as a simple one. How do you transform a lengthy written project or weeks of research into a brief and intelligible synopsis of your work? In this workshop, we will define the role and generic features of an abstract. Then participants will draft and workshop abstracts of their research. By the end of this session, participants should have a solid working draft of an abstract to incorporate into their posters for the Undergraduate Research Symposium.
