27th Annual Research and Creative Achievements Forum

Thank you for your interest in the 2010 Research and Creative Activities Forum (RCAF), sponsored by the Graduate Professional Council. This year is the 27th anniversary of the forum, and we plan to celebrate by providing graduate and professional students an opportunity to present their research to each other as well as established faculty members and researchers from across Missouri.

This year RCAF will take place on Saturday, March 13th at the Bond Life Science Center from 9:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m. The awards banquet will take place that same evening at 6:30 p.m.

We encourage you to take part in this rich MU tradition, celebrating the incredible contributions the graduate and professional students make to our campus. After the forum, an awards banquet will be held to acknowledge top finishers. To participate, applicants are asked to give a 15 min presentation on their research or creative work. This will be followed by approximately 5 minutes for questions from the judges of that category. The top three presentations from each of the six categories will receive a cash award. After the presentations, entrants will receive valuable feedback from the panel of judges in their category.

This year's RCAF will feature prize amounts in each category for first, second, and third, receiving $250, $150, and $75, respectively. There will be six categories: Behavioral Sciences, Biological Sciences, Creative Arts/Humanities, Physical Sciences, Social Sciences/Law, and Veterinary Medicine/Medicine/Health Sciences.

Send an abstract of 250 words or less by February, 26 to rcaf2010@gmail.com if you wish to particpate!
