Newsletter for UT Knoxville Students


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Special

--- UT Research Week:
When Jordan Sawyer came to UT Knoxville as a freshman in the aerospace engineering program, he had no idea he would be conducting research side-by-side with a professor on the laser diagnostics of combustion processes. "Being able to apply the knowledge learned in engineering courses to an actual project has been extremely rewarding," Sawyer said. "It helps me better comprehend the importance of what I'm learning in my course work." Thanks to a revamped Office of Research website, UT Knoxville students will be able to more easily find undergraduate research opportunities like Sawyer's. The website, http://research.utk.edu/undergrad/, will be launched during Research Week, March 26 through April 1, by including a database of past undergraduate research activities and a tool that will allow faculty to post future opportunities for students to apply online.

--- UT Research Week:
Exhibition of Undergraduate Research & Creative Achievement, Wednesday and Thursday, March 30-31, in the University Center Ballroom. The exhibition, in its 15th year, will feature poster displays of research projects and creative activities completed by UT undergraduates who are working with faculty mentors. Setup of exhibits is scheduled for noon to 4 p.m. on Wednesday, March 30, with judging to begin at 5:30 p.m. All participants must be present until completion of the judging. The exhibit will be open to public viewing from 9 a.m. until 7 p.m. Thursday, March 31. For more information visit http://research.utk.edu/eureca/.

--- UT Research Week:
EUR&#275;CA Awards, 6 p.m. Thursday, March 31, in the University Center Auditorium. The UT chapter of Phi Kappa Phi National Honor Society funds top awards, as does the Office of Research, through the William Franklin Harris III Undergraduate Research Award and the Office of Research Top Undergraduate Award. This year, for the first time, the UT Office of Sustainability will award a $200 UT Bookstore gift certificate to the exhibit which best reflects environmental appropriateness and positive environmental impact on the local community and society. For more information visit http://research.utk.edu/eureca/sustain.shtml.

Make Orange Green

--- There are just two weeks left in this year’s RecycleMania and UT Knoxville is off to a great start! So far, the campus has recycled 25 percent more materials this year compared to 2010 – about 5.2 pounds per person. RecycleMania is an eight-week competition among more than 630 college and university recycling programs representing 6 million students and more than 1.5 million staff and faculty that kicked off Feb. 6. This year UT Knoxville's recycling program has decided to take on Florida again in an effort to recycle more than the Gators. The Volunteers are trailing the Gators by about a pound per person but there is plenty of time to take the lead.
