The 2004 University of Memphis Works-in-Progress Symposium (WIPS) will be held Friday, Nov. 5, from 1:30 to 4 p.m. in the University Center, Rooms 310 F, G, H and J. This is an opportunity for undergraduates to present research projects in their early stages. Each student will give a 15-minute presentation followed by a five-minute question-and-answer period.

There are several requirements for students participating in WIPS: the work presented must be a project that will be fully developed and presentable by April 2005; students must have permission from their faculty mentor; and students must provide an abstract and prospectus with the WIPS application.

Presentations will be evaluated by a faculty member, who will offer feedback for students planning to attend the National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR). WIPS and NCUR are not competitions; each student is evaluated on individual performance.

Applications for WIPS are available from the University Honors Program office, Scates Hall room 204. Applications must be submitted to the Honors Program office no later than 4:30 p.m. Oct. 22.
For more information, call 678-5068.
