FIRST NATIONS RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM
sponsored by AMERICAN INDIAN SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING SOCIETY
AT THE UNIVERISTY OF NORTH DAKOTA
APRIL 18 AND 19, 1996
This symposium will provide an opportunity for Native students at the
high school, junior college and university level to participate in
presenting their work through a poster board session or oral presentation.
It is our goal to encourage science research in the various disciplines. We
acknowledge the social sciences in this symposium and invite students to
display their projects. Our AISES chapter hopes to create an atmosphere for
potential students with research interests to come and observe the works of
others and become acquainted with successful research endeavors. By
fostering research careers it is our hope that we can learn from one another
and create a networking between students with similiar interests. It's a
wonderful opportunity to bring together people that have a desire to ask
questions about science and seek answers.
There will be also be a Pow Wow sponsored by the University of North
Dakota Indian Association on April 20th, 1996. We hope you will have an
opportunity to participate in the activities planned during that time.
The following is the registration form for the Symposium. I've
attached an itinerary of the symposium. If there are any questions or
concerns, please feel free to email those questions, or to write me at the
address found at the bottom of the page.
