Hello UVM,
I hope you aren’t too discouraged at the late Vermont snow falls; warm spring
weather is just around the corner! Wednesday and Thursday this week are the
SGA Senator Elections in the Bailey-Howe Library. The polls will be open from
9AM-4PM both days; be sure to stop by and support your friends by casting a
ballot.
Just a quick reminder that we are still looking for volunteers to work the day
of the Spring Fest concert featuring Cake and Particle. If you are interested
in working at least a four hour shift please email [log in to unmask] and
I will contact you to sign up for a specific shift.

Undergraduate Research Fair
Friday, April 23rd from 1:00 - 4:30PM in the Living/Learning Center:
The Undergraduate Research Fair is sponsored by the Living/Learning Center
Director's Office. This is our first attempt to give undergraduate students an
opportunity to share their scholarly activities with others. This is not a
competition, but a celebration of the work of undergraduate researchers. All
undergraduate students who are currently undertaking research are invited to
participate. Students have the option of presenting their research in the form
of a poster, a display table or in a 15-minute oral presentation. Presentations
at any stage of completion are welcome. Please prepare your presentation with a
general audience in mind, describing the concepts and motivation for the
project, with perhaps less emphasis on its technical features. This is a
volunteer effort, so if you can volunteer some time to help, contact
[log in to unmask] or call 656-4200. Registration Deadline: April 12. For
more information or to register, please visit the following Web site:

Excuse the length of the email. Thanks to all of you that made it this far;
it’s a great thing to know how much is going on campus and how much of the
events are student sponsored. As usual if you have an event for the All Campus
email within the next week forward a brief description with the time, place and
date to me and I will try to incorporate it. Have a great day and hope for no
more snow!
