SMALL Program 2008 Conference, June 2008

自1988年以来，在美国国家科学基金会REU项目、威廉姆斯学院和其他来源的支持下，SMALL本科生研究项目已经有超过350名学生参与了由20名教师指导的研究，发表了70多篇论文。拟于6月8日在威廉姆斯举行的会议将通过会谈、讨论、建立网络和规划未来的工作，进一步推动研究及其传播。除了一些受邀的演讲者和教师外，欢迎所有参与者进行简短的演讲。会议还将提供一个机会，评估该计划的成果，并为未来制定更好的计划。将有一个会议，参与者描述他们的成就，帮助我们评估项目，并提出改进我们的项目和活动的建议。关于他们的SMALL经验的价值、会议的价值以及他们对SMALL和相关活动的建议的调查将被分发和收集。

Since 1988 the SMALL Undergraduate Research Project, with support from the NSF REU program, from Williams College, and from other sources, has involved over 350 students in research advised by 20 faculty, resulting in over 70 publications. The proposed conference, to take place at Williams on June 8, will further the research and its promulgation through talks, discussions, networking, and planning for future work. In addition to a few invited speakers and faculty, all participants are welcome to present short talks. The conference will also afford an opportunity to take stock of the fruits of the program and make better plans for the future. There will be a session in which participants describe their accomplishments, help us evaluate the program, and suggest improvements in our program and activities. A survey on the value of their SMALL experience, the value of the conference, and their suggestions for SMALL and related activities, will be distributed and collected.
