The conference aims to provide undergraduate students from all the New York Six schools with the opportunity to present their work at a professional meeting without the barriers of high travel and registration fees, according to organizers.

Poster presentations will take place over a two-hour period with the opportunity for students to present during one hour and to interact with other presenters in the other hour.
Student presenters can submit abstracts by filling out this . The deadline is Friday, August 29, and students and faculty will be notified of their acceptance by September 5.
