Director and Elizabeth

Coordinator

The Undergraduate 
Research, Scholarly and 
Creative Activity  
Department is sponsoring 
an off-campus activity 
and a student in your 
course might miss class 
time.  The offices of 
the Provost and the 
Associate Vice 
Chancellor of Academic 
Affairs require that 
students provide this 
notice to you no later 
than one week prior to 
their scheduled activity 
to be in compliance with 
appropriate policies.  
Your consideration in 
allowing them to 
complete course 
assignments and work in 
compliance with these 
university’s policies* 
is appreciated.  Thank 
you for your support and 
cooperation.  Additional 
details are below.

Dates & Times: March 11, 
2014 at 3:00 p.m. – 
March 12, 2014 all day

Activity: Undergraduates 
will present their 
research posters to 
legislators, state 
leaders, and other 
supporters at Posters in 
the Rotunda: Explore the 
Power of Undergraduate 
Research, located in the 
Capitol Rotunda in 
Madison, Wisconsin.  

Academic Rationale for 
Absence: Posters in the 
Rotunda is important to 
the student’s 
professional development 
as well as an 
opportunity to present 
their research and 
connect with other 
scholars in and out of 
their field. Posters in 
the Rotunda is a great 
opportunity to showcase 
the talents of our 
students, and students 
from across UW-System, 
by sharing their 
research posters and 
experiences with our 
legislators, state 
leaders, and other 
supporters.  It is a 
unique opportunity to 
educate state leaders 
with the value and 
importance of 
undergraduate research 
by talking directly with 
the students whom these 
programs impact.
