Dear SPAA '15 attendees,

The Engaging Undergraduates in Research Workshop, sponsored by the Education Committee of the Computing Research Association, will be held at FCRC on Monday, June 15, 6-7:30 PM in the C123/124 of the Oregon Convention Center. There is no registration fee and abundant appetizers will be served!  We do ask that anyone planning to attend use the RSVP form at http://tinyurl.com/CRAEworkshop.

The objectives of the workshop are to provide faculty with resources and best practices for engaging undergraduates in their research, identifying funding sources for undergraduate research, and related topics.  To ensure a healthy pipeline of students motivated to continue on to graduate school, it is critically important that talented undergraduates obtain meaningful research experiences.  Having faculty who are well-prepared to supervise undergraduate research can make a difference.  

The workshop is funded by the National Science Foundation.

On behalf of the CRA Education Committee,
