Hello, Colleagues!
Don’t forget to have students sign up for teams (5 students
per team) to participate in this year’s Algebra Relay. The event presents
students with the opportunity to fully engage in the Undergraduate Research
Week (April 2-6).
In previous years, first-year students dominated this event
as they swept awards for using skills to solve higher order questions directed
at stimulating creative thinking, comprehending science and scholarship, and
interpreting and explaining situations they face in daily life. I hope you will be on hand to encourage
students of all levels in their pursuit for prizes up to $150.
Entry forms and guidelines are attached. Feel free to
contact me should you have questions.

The
competition highlights a series of events
that mark April 2 - 6, 2012 as 7th Annual Undergraduate Research
Week at Dillard University, although it wasn’t until 2010 that, the U.S. House
of Representatives recognized the contributions of undergraduate research when
it passed House Resolution 1654. This legislation designates setting
aside a week as an opportunity to consider and celebrate the benefits
undergraduate research brings to the students who pursue it, the faculty who
mentor them, the institutions that support it, and the research enterprise that
benefits. The celebration at Dillard allows those who participate to show
off a bit by giving them a chance to better explain their research and creative
achievements to the campus community and guests. I hope
you and your students will make a point of participating in the
activities.
