Welcome
The Department of Chemistry at Bucknell University is delighted to invite students, faculty, scientists and administrators in Pennsylvania and surrounding regions to join in a one-day symposium on September 17, 2005, focusing on the increasing efforts of educators at principally undergraduate institutions (PUIs) to engage in research and education that exploits the power of modern nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
Registration
There are no registration fess and no required memberships. We will accept on-line registrations up to September 16, and on-site registration will be available the morning of the conference. However we request a registration deadline of September 9 to best assist our efforts in planning.
