Student Activities Board for Undergraduate Research - General Meeting Oct 27 and Nov 3 2016

Student Activities Board for Undergraduate Research - meeting notice


The goal of SABUR is to help undergraduates get into research and to provide a social environment where students in research can come meet others who are also in research.  We will have meetings to talk about how to contact professors and how to take their research to the next level by participating in programs like PURA.


We will be having our general meetings this and next Thursday (Oct 27 and Nov 3) at Clough 123 from 11am-noon.  We will be going over details about the club and an overview of what research at Tech is like.  We are talking about the same information in both meetings- we're having two for students who can only come to one due to tight schedules.


If there are any questions please feel free to email me at yli751@gatech.edu.




Sincerely,
