URC '09 Supporting Institutions, Departments & Centers
Acknowledgements
The UNH Undergraduate Research Conference has grown to become a signature event at the University and an annual highlight of the spring semester. One of the largest and most diverse conferences of its kind, bringing the URC to fruition each year is the result of a collaborative, behind-the-scenes network of a great many campus community members. Here, we acknowledge these folks and thank them for helping make URC 2009 happen.
