<div dir="ltr">Hello all!<div><br></div><div>Please see the below call for students to apply to present at the 20th Annual Undergraduate Research & Creative Activities Symposium. Don't be deterred by "abstract" and "symposium"--this is a wonderful event that showcases student work of all kinds, including music. In the past, some of our undergraduate composition students have presented on their composition processes and then played a recording of some of their work. A presentation on your music production work, research in musicology or ethnomusicology, or performances as a vocalist and/or instrumentalist, for example, would also be welcome (as are all topics in music!). I know they are specifically looking for more arts presentations and that there is a high likelihood applications from music students will be selected. </div><div><br></div><div>Think of an abstract as just a summary of your presentation. I highly recommend applying! It's a fantastic professional opportunity. </div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div><br></div><div>Prof. Kauf. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">---------- Forwarded message ---------<br>From: <strong class="gmail_sendername" dir="auto">Gladis Herrera-Berkowitz</strong> <span dir="auto"><<a href="mailto:gladis.herrera-berkowitz@ucr.edu">gladis.herrera-berkowitz@ucr.edu</a>></span><br>Date: Wed, Feb 11, 2026 at 1:39 PM<br>Subject: Fwd: Abstract Submission: 20th Undergraduate Research & Creative Activities Symposium<br>To: <br></div><br><br><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:large">Dear Faculty,</div><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:large"><div><br></div><div><span class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:large">This is a friendly reminder to p</span>lease encourage undergraduate researchers to submit an abstract for presentation at the <a href="https://engage.ucr.edu/research/symposium" target="_blank">20th Annual Undergraduate Research & Creative Activities Symposium</a>.
