SURCA provides the unique single venue for undergraduate students from all years in college, majors, and campuses to disseminate the results of their research, scholarship, and creative activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The online application for SURCA abstracts is now open<\/a> and all undergraduate students are encouraged to submit an abstract to present their work at SURCA 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Are you a faculty member or post-doctoral researcher interested in serving as a SURCA judge? Typically, at least three judges meet with each presenter, so SURCA always needs plenty of faculty members, post-doctoral researchers, and experts from the community. A short training on March 20 will be required for post-candidacy doctoral students to help prepare them to serve as a SURCA judge. Information about serving as a judge and the online sign-up form are available on the SURCA website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Graduate Society of Women Engineers (GradSWE), in collaboration with the Society for Women in Chemistry & the WSU Crop and Soil Science Graduate Student Association, are pleased to invite graduate women and gender minorities in STEM to join the Graduate Women in STEM Mentoring Program (GWSMP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n This pilot program is targeted at graduate women and gender minorities in STEM disciplines across WSU.
