Spotlight on SURE
The 2007 Summer Undergraduate
Research Experience (SURE)
was an opportunity for students
in the biology and chemistry departments to dedicate
a summer to research in their disciplines,
supervised and assisted by Winthrop faculty.

and the abstract book.
NCUR 2007
In addition to supporting travel to
discipline-specific professional meetings, the institution has
been funding student travel to national and regional
undergraduate research oriented meetings (NCUR and BigSURS).
This year Winthrop helped fund 13 students from the College of
Arts and Sciences who presented at the NCUR, which was held at
the Dominican University of California, San Rafael, CA on April
12-14th 2007. In addition, Dr. Moore, VPAA, funded 16 of the 17
students presenting at the first BigSURS held at Coastal
Carolina University, Myrtle Beach, SC on March 23 and 24, 2007.
The BigSURS was started by the schools in
the Big South Athletic Conference as part of an effort to
promote academic initiatives. The purpose of the BigSURS was
documented on the Coastal Carolina meeting website:
Undergraduate Research (NCUR) is the major academic conference
for all fields of study and is entering its 21st year in 2007 to
be held at Dominican University of California . http://www.dominican.edu/ncur21.html
Based on this superlative, long-standing model, BigSURS will be
scheduled for the years when NCUR takes place west of the
Mississippi River. In consideration of limited travel budgets,
this symposium will provide another opportunity for students on
the East Coast to participate in an academic conference and to
present their research.
