Division/Committee: [COLL: Division of Colloid and Surface Chemistry]

This symposium aims to bring together researchers who are doing challenging, cutting-edge surface and interfacial studies with undergraduate students. We invite investigators who mentor undergraduate students to present their recent work. Faculty, postdocs, and graduate students who work with undergraduate researchers at primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs), research-intensive schools (R1/R2s) and researchers at government labs are encouraged to submit abstracts. In addition to describing their research endeavors, we encourage investigators to discuss best practices and challenges of conducting surface science research with undergraduates. In addition, we welcome discussions on how to teach students to craft research questions and appreciate the challenges of working with complex interfacial systems. This symposium could also interest current postdocs and graduate students who are considering applying for jobs at PUIs.
