Undergraduate Research at the Capitol - PA 2013 Poster Conference
On Tuesday, March 19, 2013, the 11th
Annual Undergraduate
Research at the Capitol—Pennsylvania Poster
Conference will take place in the
State Capitol Building, Harrisburg.
The URC-PA poster conference is an educational event
allowing the undergraduate students enrolled
in Pennsylvania’s colleges and universities to
showcase their research talents to the
Commonwealth’s key decision-makers. All fields of research are
encouraged. Participants spend the day in the
Pennsylvania Capitol Building, share experiences and
ideas with counterparts from other schools, and
present research on topics of importance to them and
society to state legislators. When possible, a visit
to either the Senate or House Chamber is part of the
day’s events.
The Office of Undergraduate
Education will coordinate Penn State's
participation in the event.
Posters will be selected for participation by the
Office of Undergraduate Education, seeking
representation across Penn State colleges and
campuses. Undergraduate Education will submit all
registration information and abstracts for Penn
State's presenters and work with the Office of
Governmental Affairs to schedule student appointments
with their state legislators. Faculty advisers are
invited to attend the event with their students.

event. Questions may be directed to me at mbc5@psu.edu

Our students who have participated in Undergraduate
Research at the Capitol in the past have been thrilled
and
honored to spend a day in Harrisburg talking about their
work. We are pleased to extend this opportunity again
this year and look forward to a strong Penn State
presence at the event in March.
