Undergraduate Research Conference
On Friday, October 20, 2006, students from across the Faculty of Science will present the results of their research projects at the second annual Faculty of Science Undergraduate Research Conference (URC). A panel of distinguished McGill judges will adjudicate the projects, and certificates and prizes will be awarded. The URC takes place during Homecoming 2006.
