Dear Colleagues,

We hope to see you at the 25th Annual Undergraduate Research Symposium

Symposium. However, registration

is recommended if you would like to encourage students or colleagues to
attend.

*Symposium Day*

The day will begin at 9:30am with virtual sessions and then there will be
an in-person welcome at 11:00am in Mary Gates Hall by UW Provost and
Executive Vice President Mark Richards and Vice Provost and Dean Ed Taylor
who will congratulate presenters and announce the recipients of the annual
Undergraduate Research Mentor Awards. You can find the full event schedule
and more information for Attendees here:
https://www.washington.edu/undergradresearch/symposium/attendees/.

*Presentations *are grouped into sessions by format and theme; you can
search for your mentee’s session in the Online Proceedings
<https://expo.uw.edu/expo/apply/635/proceedings> where all of the students’
abstracts are now available. All presentations take place on Friday, May
20, and will happen in real time, Pacific Daylight Time. *Sessions will not
be available for viewing later.*

   - *Poster sessions* are divided into four groups and will be held in
   Mary Gates Hall. The sessions will be from 11:00am-1:00pm, 1:00-2:30pm,
   2:30-4:00pm and 4:00-5:30pm.
   - *Oral presentations* are divided into 2 groups, in classrooms in Mary
   Gates Hall, from 1:30-3:00pm and 3:45-5:15pm. Each classroom has a
   moderator and a session assistant (i.e., two volunteers). The presentations
   are expected to be ~10 minutes long with 2 minutes for Q&A after each
   presenter. We encourage everyone to stay for the entire session.
   - *Virtual sessions* will be hosted via Zoom by a moderator and a
   session assistant (i.e., two volunteers) from 9:30-11:00am and

   their video is shown. Zoom links will be posted the day before the
