Good morning, Lyles School! We are getting excited for the 7th Annual CEGSAC Research Symposium Friday April 17, 1:30-3:30PM. All research is welcome, from experimental testing and modeling to literature reviews. Industry members have told us they want to engage students and prospective employees earlier than traditional fall career fairs. This is the perfect opportunity to showcase your work, practice presenting, and network with industry professionals in a low-risk environment To register to attend and provide a poster abstract, please complete this form by April 8: https://forms.gle/arygfVubYKQ6urAG9<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforms.gle%2FarygfVubYKQ6urAG9&data=05%7C02%7Ccce-graduates-list%40ecn.purdue.edu%7C525b7522656e46e6169c08de8a6039cd%7C4130bd397c53419cb1e58758d6d63f21%7C1%7C0%7C639100343062937599%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=tJqnaYxGIsoUy4zHIU4Ms3Ht3gY6zniMyshjnNMXno4%3D&reserved=0> We will award plaques and cash prizes in the following categories: Excellence in Research, Outstanding Presentation, and Most Innovative Research
