This Wednesday, May 10, the SCS Undergrad Research Thesis students will be presenting synopses of their theses as part of Meeting of the Minds, the Undergraduate Research Symposium to be held in the University Center. Events are scheduled throughout the day on Wednesday, beginning at 9:30am; the thesis students, their topics and talk-times are listed below. In addition, the undergrads engaged in CS independent study and thesis research will be presenting posters during the Symposium (there are two general poster sessions: from 12 noon to 2:30 and from 3:00 to 5:00 throughout the common spaces in the University Center). The thesis students will be by there posters from 12 noon to 2:30 (unless they're giving their oral in that window in which case they'll be gone for 20 minutes). Please stop by to show your support for the outstanding research work that so many students have done during the past year! Thesis topics and presentation times and locations (for the oral presentation) are as follows:
