Student Poster Night–Joint Meeting with the Smoky Mountain Section of the Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE)

5:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 15th, 2007 in the Volunteer Ballroom. at the Carolyn P. Brown Memorial University Center on the University of Tennessee–Knoxville campus.

All undergraduate and graduate students and post-docs working on materials-related research are invited to present a poster detailing their work. The poster symposium is regularly attended by ASM members from Oak Ridge National Laboratory, UT, and local industry; giving you a chance to interact, discuss, and receive feedback from leading engineers and scientists and a chance to highlight the cutting-edge research performed at your school. Cash prizes will be awarded for the three best student posters. (N.b., post-docs are encouraged to participate; however, they are not eligible for the cash prizes.)

There will be food! It will be a sit-down dinner, similar to last year’s event, starting at about 6:30 p.m.

Presenter information

Ideally, posters should have Velcro (hooks) attached already. If your poster is configured for push-pins, pins will be provided (but bring your own, just in case).

Please arrive by 3:30 p.m. to put up your posters. All posters must be set up by the beginning of the event (5:00 p.m.)—no exceptions!

You should have already registered your poster, but you still need to register that you are going to attend. I know, it seems redundant, but please just do it. Register for the event using this form.

If you have any questions please contact Professor Rawn by e-mail or telephone (865.574.3184).
