Undergraduate Research Symposia
The Midstates Consortium for Math and Science (MCMS) invites undergraduate students to present their research projects and results to peers from the 13 MCMS member campuses at either of the 2007 Undergraduate Research Symposia. Students are invited to present their results in a 15 minute oral or poster presentation. For nearly 10 years, each of these Symposia has attracted nearly 100 students and a dozen faculty members. All costs for Augustana students and faculty who attend the conference will be covered through our membership in the organization.

Naked Came the Librarian is a serial e-novel written by members of the Tredway Library staff. The title may give you some pause, cause you to giggle, or just wonder what the heck kind of coffee we've been drinking over here!
