Welcome
The Department of Chemistry at Bucknell University is delighted to invite students and faculty in Pennsylvania and surrounding regions to join in a one-day symposium on September 29, 2007, focusing on the increasing efforts of educators at principally undergraduate institutions (PUIs) to engage in research and education that exploits modern nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
Registration
There are no registration fees 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.
Poster Session
A poster session will be held from 11am-1pm. Please submit your poster abstracts as soon as possible to help us with our planning, and by Sept. 22 to ensure they will appear in the conference program.
