The Student Leadership Council (SLC) of NCN is pleased to announce a Student
Research Symposium for the first time. This year we will have research talks by
students from theoretical and experimental groups working on nanotechnology at
Purdue University. You are cordially invited to attend this function. It is a
great opportunity to know new people, learn what your colleagues are doing, and
learn material that may be important to your own research or coursework. Also,
free lunch will be provided ;-)

**NCN Student Research Symposium (NSRS), 2008**

DATE: Tuesday, May 27 2008

VENUE: Burton D. Morgan Center for Entrepreneurship MRGN (located in the

The Symposium will feature 8 research talks by experimentalists and 8 by

CALL FOR POSTERS: You are invited to present a poster during the extended lunch
session. You do not necessarily have to prepare a new poster. A poster that you
may already have and would like to present is most welcome. It will be a great
opportunity to share your research work with others and get feedback.

Please let Alicia Goodman, goodman@ecn.purdue.edu, know that you will be
attending and your meal preference if you are a vegetarian by end-of-business
Thursday May 22, so that she can ensure you don't go hungry. Also let her know
by EOB Friday May 23 if you wish to present a poster during the NSRS lunch
session and we will have a poster stand ready for you. All you have to do is
bring the poster with you to the symposium.

Please email any individual queries you may have to apalaria@purdue.edu

We sincerely hope you will be able to join us for this most exciting event and
perhaps also present a poster with some of your exciting research work.

Sincerely,
Amrit Palaria
