About the Conference
The New Mexico Alliance for Minority Participation (New Mexico AMP) will host its annual statewide student research conference on the campus of New Mexico State University (NMSU) from September 29-October 1, 2011. The day of the conference is Friday, September 30, with pre- and post-conference workshops for community college students on September 29 and October 1. Each year, the conference brings together students and faculty from the state’s colleges and universities as well as students and teachers from the New Mexico Math, Engineering, Science Achievement, Inc. (New Mexico MESA) program.
The conference provides an opportunity for students to present their research and gain presentation experience, to serve as role models for other students, and to participate in workshops and panels that help them plan their academic and professional careers. The event also serves as a vehicle for student and faculty networking and as a forum for STEM students, instructors, and industry professionals to share information, ideas, experiences, and advice.
Registration will open in May. Registration fees are $50 per person if received before September 23, 2011, and $100 after that date. See the Registration Page for more details. Presenters must submit an Abstract from the research by Friday, September 16, 2011.
Please note: All student research presentations, speakers, special events, and awards are on September 30, 2011. Pre-conference workshops (September 29) and post-conference workshops (October 1) are designed for community college students only.
