[wics-announce] Undergraduate Research Opportunities Conference (UROC) + Volunteer Form for WiCS

[Women in Computer Science Announcements]

Hey everyone!

Are you curious about Computer Science research, but not sure where to
start? Experience the life of a graduate student in 3 days by participating
in research workshops with other top undergraduate students in Canada.

*Undergraduate Research Opportunities Conference*
October 2-4, 2015
Davis Centre
University of Waterloo

*What is the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Conference?*

Undergraduate Research Opportunity Conference (UROC) is a 3-day, fully
funded (i.e., we pay for travel, lodging and meals) event that offers
students the opportunity to explore research through a series of group-work
sessions tackling a mini-research project alongside a professor.  Social
events and panel sessions will allow you to connect with our current
graduate students and find out about their experiences in graduate
studies.  The event will take place October 2-4, 2015 at Davis Centre at
University of Waterloo.

UROC is open to all undergraduate students in the third or fourth year of
their program.  Participation in UROC is selective; academic excellence is
important, but we also highly value creativity, leadership, dedication and
diversity.  Selected students will be invited to attend by the end of
September, and their profiles will be showcased on our website.
