<p class="MsoNormal">We’ve decided to extend the deadline for the December STEM Undergraduate Research and Internship Symposium to solicit additional participants. We know that your students have been working hard on research and doing internships this summer
and fall. Please help us celebrate them by encouraging them to present at this fun event! We have many biology and biotechnology students who have submitted abstracts but very few other departments represented. Please help spread the word by forwarding
this email and mentioning it to your colleagues and students.<o:p></o:p></p>
