Study abroad in Brazil

Dear students,

Every year SEBS sends several undergraduate students to visit the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil to participate in their annual Undergraduate Research Symposium.  We are now soliciting applications from students who wish to go on the trip next October.  Accepted students must work with their research advisors to write an abstract by the end of June and must prepare a poster describing their research for presentation at the symposium in Brazil in October.

This is an opportunity to present your research at an international venue.  By visiting the University of Sao Paulo and interacting with their students you will gain an appreciation of Brazilian culture and their way of life.  In return for a free trip to Brazil in October, we ask that you help out with the reciprocal trip when a group of students from the University of Sao Paulo visit Rutgers in April, 2017, to present their research at the George H. Cook Honors Symposium.

If you wish to go on the trip this year please contact Dr. Gerben Zylstra at zylstra@sebs.rutgers.edu.  The deadline for applications is Wednesday, May 4.  A panel of SEBS professors will review the applications and the results will be communicated by the end of May.  Those selected for the trip must submit an abstract on their research (written with their advisor) by the end of June.
