Dear Students

This year we will have Virginia Academy of Science meeting at James 
Madison University <http://www.jmu.edu/jmuweb/aboutJMU/>  in 
Harrisonburg, Virginia. It will be Friday May 21st. Let me remind you 
that you are required to present your studies at least once before 
graduation in the MS or PhD programs, and it is better to finish with 
this requirement as soon as possible! 

Please discuss with your PIs the possibility for your 
presentation. Harrisonburg is a drivable distance, you can combine a few 
into the same car, also there is on the spot student accommodation there 
if you want to stay overnight. (Please see the instructions for student 
travel reimbursement on the website http://gstf.gmu.edu/).  Registration 
fee is $10. Also, you can coordinate with my students, as we will be 
driving there for sure.

Please note that the deadline for submission is February 12th. 
Instructions for submission are attached.  AT THIS TIME the abstract 
itself is not required. But as you got committed to the one or another 
project already, you can submit title of your presentation in the format 
attached (please follow it to the letter). By the time of presentation 
(May) you will already have material to present.

Format of the submission is in the attachment.

with best regards,

Ancha
