The Wabash Valley Local Section American Chemical Society Undergraduate Research Conference is scheduled for

Wednesday, October 16, 2019

at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. The meeting is designed as a forum for undergraduate students who have performed research to share the results of their work with fellow students and faculty from Mid-West region universities. We plan to have both oral talks and poster presentations. We plan to have awards for the best presentation.
