Dear Wartburg College colleagues:
You and your students are cordially invited to attend Viterbo University's 11th Annual Seven Rivers Undergraduate Research Symposium on Friday, November 8, 2013 in La Crosse, WI. This symposium showcases the research and creative works of undergraduate students from a variety of disciplines and a variety of institutions. All interested students and faculty on your campus are encouraged to participate. While there is no fee associated with participation, all attendees and presenters MUST register via the link below. We hope that you will encourage the following groups to participate:
· students who have completed research/creative works on or off-campus or as part of a course, · students who may be interested in completing research projects in the future (presenting is not a prerequisite for attendance),
· members of professional listservs you subscribe to, and/or
· colleagues at your institution who you think might be interested in attending.
The symposium will run from 11am to 5pm (check-in occurs from 10-11am) and includes a keynote address; lunch (provided); and oral, poster, and creative works presentations by students from the tri-state area. To ensure that all are able to participate, please remind students that there is no fee for presenting or attending.
As was the case last year, there is a single deadline and online form for both registration and abstract submission. By streamlining our processes, we hope the registration process is simpler and easier for all involved. Please note that presenters will be expected to submit their abstracts when they register.
DEADLINE TO REGISTER & SUBMIT ABSTRACTS: Friday, October 25, 2013.
The online registration & abstract submission form as well as additional information about the event can be found online at http://www.viterbo.edu/sevenrivers/.
The keynote speaker for this year's symposium will be Dr. Tim Kasser. Tim Kasser, Ph.D., is Professor of Psychology at Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois. He has written numerous scientific articles and book chapters on materialism, values, ecological sustainability, and quality of life, among other topics. He is also the author of The High Price of Materialism (MIT Press, 2002) and Lucy in the Mind of Lennon (Oxford University Press, 2013). Tim works extensively with a variety of activist and civil society organizations that protect children from commercialization, promote ecological sustainability, and encourage a more "inwardly rich" lifestyle than what is offered by consumerism.
If you have any questions, please email us at sevenrivers@viterbo.edu. Thank you in advance for encouraging your students and colleagues to attend, and I look forward to seeing you in November!
Sincerely,
Kirsten Gabriel
