The 18th annual Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Meeting of the Minds Conference will be hosted by the University of Notre Dame from April 5-7. Pitt is looking for five outstanding undergraduate researchers to attend this conference and represent the University. These students will present their research as either a ten-minute oral presentation or a poster format.
Undergraduate students at all ACC universities are involved in numerous projects, which provide unique contributions to research and creativity in a variety of fields. The annual ACC Meeting of the Minds conference has become an opportunity for universities in the ACC to highlight the diversity of research being conducted by undergraduates and for students to share their work with peers across the ACC.
The 18th Annual Meeting of the Minds Conference welcomes student projects in any research area. Projects should entail and demonstrate proficiency in directed research or creative scholarship. Research may include:
-
Lab Experiments
-
Field Research
-
Art/Sculpture Display
-
Architecture and Design
-
Archival Research
-
Comparative Analyses
-
