"Creating Undergraduate Research Opportunities in Changing Communities" will be the theme of the Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) Seventh National Conference to be held at Occidental College in Los Angeles, California, June 25-27, 1998. The CUR biennial National Conferences provide support and networking opportunities for faculty and administrators from predominately undergraduate institutions. In addition, there are opportunities for interaction with representatives from public and private funding agencies, industry, and the K-12 community. Anyone interested in undertaking or promoting undergraduate research is encouraged to attend. CUR conferences provide the opportunity for faculty members involved in undergraduate research to meet face-to-face with colleagues with similar priorities, commitments, and challenges. Deans and other college administrators will also have the opportunity for the exchange of ideas and information pertaining to issues affecting undergraduate research and science education. The three-day conference includes dozens of interactive workshops, plenary sessions, guest speakers, and poster sessions. This is the first CUR National Conference to be held on the West Coast.
The "Chemistry Teacher Connection" (CTC) is especially for high school chemistry teachers. For only $40/year, it offers an online-only subscription to CLIC along with membership in the Division of Chemical Education, normally $65/year. CTC subscribers receive access to all articles and supplements from 1996 through the current issue.
Through special arrangement with the ACS, JCE High School CLIC is now able to provide subscribers with online access to Chemical & Engineering News articles that have been selected specifically for secondary science instructors and their students.
Occasionally, collections of JCE back issues become available for donation to individual teachers, schools, or libraries. JCE matches collections with interested recipients. Recipients pay shipping costs or pick up the collection.
