Greetings Stupka 2018 donors! 

We are once again raising funds for this year's Stupka Undergraduate Research Symposium to help cover the cost of our keynote speakers. Joining us this year are Dr. Craig Pikaard, University of Indiana, Dr. Joan Steitz, Yale University, and alumni speaker Dr. Matt Mead, Vanderbilt University, who will present their research. Outstanding keynote speakers are a vital part of the symposium and provide students an opportunity to interact with accomplished educators and scientists in a professional environment and take part in a learning experience vastly different from the classroom. We hope you will consider supporting the symposium again and donate to our 2019 FundISU campaign which can be found at this link.

We appreciate your continued support for the symposium which allows Stupka to remain free and open to all!

Thank you so much to everyone who contributed to this year's Stupka Symposium FundISU campaign! We met and exceeded our goal with 28 days still remaining! With your help, we will be able to fund the travel, hotel, and food costs of our two keynote speakers in 2019.  Of course, the campaign is still open and accepting donations past $2000. All contributions will be placed into the Stupka Symposium foundation fund. This fund will support future symposia, especially the 15th anniversary event in April 2020. As a reminder, if you have not yet registered for the 2018 Symposium, please follow this link to the Stupka website and click on the registration link below the video.
