The 2013 CU Spring Undergraduate Research Symposium will be taking place on Sunday, March 31, from 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM in Roone Arledge Auditorium in Lerner Hall. The 2012 Symposium marked a record number of submissions from over thirteen different schools in the region, and the level and diversity of research exhibited by the undergraduates who will be presenting is unprecedented for the Spring Symposium.

The 2013 Spring Symposium is projected to be even larger and is an exciting opportunity to learn about a broad range of scientific research being conducted by many of the brightest undergraduates across the Northeast. It is a truly unique event not only at Columbia but in the whole Northeastern region. Admission is free—please click here to register.

It is our pleasure to announce that submissions for the 2013 Columbia University Spring Undergraduate Research Symposium are now being accepted! Please head over to the symposium site for details on submitting. The CU SURS is one of the largest undergraduate research symposia in the Northeast region, and we invite students from all nearby institutions to submit their work for the chance to present to a broad audience of people and network with their exceptional peers from around the region. This year, the event will be held in Roone Arledge Auditorium on Sunday, April 5. Any questions and inquiries should be directed to symposium.coordinator@cusj.com.

Submission Guidelines and Instructions are available at this address: http://tinyurl.com/CUSJ2013 for publication in the Journal's 2012-13 Issue.

Final Deadline: Monday, December 31, 11:59 p.m.

Submissions to the CUSJ will be received from undergraduates who are students at Columbia, have recently graduated from Columbia, or students from other universities who have performed significant research at Columbia.

The Journal's review board and Faculty Advisory Board will participate in the double-blind peer-review of each and every paper submitted to the CUSJ. The CUSJ is committed to advancing scholarship across all scientific disciplines at Columbia, and this call for papers embodies this comittment.

The Columbia Undergraduate Science Journal will be published by The Columbia University Libraries at the Journal's official publication website.

Congratulations to all those accepted as part of the Journal and Conference Boards for 2012-2013! We are extremely pleased with this year's new board, and we are confident that they will uphold the professional standards of the CUSJ. We look forward to executing the double-blind, peer review process that is one of the CUSJ's hallmarks. Manuscripts of research articles are still being accepted, so please submit if you are an undergraduate that has done research at Columbia!

We are looking forward to the upcoming year with great anticipation, as we have several exciting events planned. We will be holding our Annual Undergraduate Research Symposium in late March as planned, which last year brought in several dozen undergraduate researchers from the Northeastern region from over 22 Colleges and Universities. This year we hope not only to expand the Symposium but also to hold additional events to promote scientific research and undergraduate researchers at Columbia.

Again, congratulations to our new CUSJ staff and stay tuned for our upcoming events.

As part of its long-term commitment to the furthering of peer-reviewed undergraduate research on a university, regional, and national level, the CUSJ has partnered with the Undergraduate Research Institute, taking a leading role in building to the world's first all-online repository for peer-reviewed undergraduate journals and undergraduate thesises.

This partnership reflects the long-term stability and vision of the Journal to make Columbia the premier resource for undergraduate scientific research. Through this partnership, the Journal and Columbia stand to benefit through the utilization of cutting-edge technology for the benefit of the undergraduate (and larger) scientific community.

The staff of the CUSJ is pleased to welcome the support of Columbia University President Lee C. Bollinger and Provost Alan Brinkley.

Recognizing the potential for the CUSJ to afford opportunities to Columbia undergraduate and graduate students, Columbia University President Lee C. Bollinger and Provost Alan Brinkley have become official supporters of the Journal. Their support will catalyze the further development of the Journal toward our Spring 2006 publication date.

The address where the CUSJ will be published in Spring 2006 is http://cusj.columbia.ed/cusj .

The Journal will be published in a open-access format, available to students and faculty around the world to view and reference. This address is where submitters can create a login and submit manuscripts in the spring, and where members of the Editorial Review Board and Associate Editors will participate in our double-blind -peer-review process through our own online publication system.
