stipend, support student travel to present undergraduate research work, or to
purchase lab supplies necessary for their respective research programs. To apply for an award, please send an email to
Gilson Capilouto with a brief description
of your work with undergraduates as well as a breakdown of how you plan to use
the award. The deadline for applications is December 7, 2012. Applications will
be reviewed by committee and awards will be announced by January 4th,
2013. If you have any questions, please feel free to
contact Gilson Capilouto via
email or phone (218-0555). The Halloween Traveling Trays will be available on Thursday, October 25 - Friday, October 26.

you have any problems making your donation. Please take a minute to check out the United Way
