Socialize with neuroscientists concerned about undergraduate education.  View conference posters co-authored by undergraduate students and meet them and their mentors.  The undergraduate travel awards will be presented.

Following a brief summary of the activities of the Executive Committee and the treasurer's and election reports, attention can turn to informal social exchange among faculty largely concerned with undergraduate teaching.  Possible topics for conversation include obtaining grants for laboratory improvement and new modes of involvement ofor our organization at future Annual Meetings.  We particularily welcome "first-timers" who want to learn more about our organization or are interested in joining.
