at the Hamilton Science Center Dedication 4:30 pm, Friday, September 30, 2005 Science Center
OVERVIEW
At the dedication of the new Science Center during Fallcoming 2005, Hamilton College's Sigma Xi Chapter is sponsoring a poster session for alumni and students. We invite you to participate to help celebrate the new building and our chapter's 40th anniversary. If you are planning on attending the celebration and have a scientific poster to present, please bring it with you to Hamilton. This thinly veiled plot to mix students and alumni will also give you a chance to catch up with other alumni and faculty with similar research interests.
POSTER SUBMISSIONS
To submit a poster, please send a title and abstract by Wednesday, Sept. 14, 2005. Submission and questions about the poster session should be addressed to Gordon Jones at gjones@hamilton.edu or Leslie North at lnorth@hamilton.edu. Gordon can also be reached by phone at (315) 859-4697, and by mail at 198 College Hill Rd, Clinton, NY 13323. If you provide the URL of a Web site related to the poster with your submission we will link to it from the Hamilton Web site.
The board for the poster is about 4 ft by 8 ft. (landscape orientation.) Push pin will be provided to attach material to the board.
