Last day in August is last day for student research abstracts

The North Carolina Alliance to Create Opportunity through Education is working to increase the number of minority students receiving doctorates in science, technology and engineering. One of the organization’s major projects is an annual Alliance Day, where students showcase their research work, meet with grad school recruiters and attend professional development workshops. The 2009 Alliance Day will be Oct. 2 at the Greensboro Coliseum Complex Special Events Center. The deadline for submitting abstracts is Monday, Aug. 31. An abstract of 300 words or less describing the research is required for both poster and oral presentations.
