SOCIETY HOSTING NATIONAL RESEARCH
CONFERENCE October 3, 2006
UNB Fredericton News Release: D719
Natalie Montgomery, Public Relations Officer (506) 451-6842 The opportunity to view the latest research and development in physics will
be available at the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton. UNBF will host the 42nd annual Canadian Undergraduate Physics Conference
from Oct. 20 to 24. The event will be held at the Lord Beaverbrook Crown
Plaza Hotel in Fredericton. The conference allows an opportunity for students to present the results of
undergraduate research projects and is for many, their first professional
conference experience. The UNBF Physics Society will host the conference which is held at a
different university each year. "It’s a great opportunity for people to come out and see what universities
are doing in different areas of physics research," said UNBF’s Aaron Power.
"We’re anticipating approximately 350 undergraduate student researchers who
will present their findings in their fields of research." The UNBF Physics Society is also seeking corporate sponsors to purchase $100
day registration fees. Those passes would be donated to local high school
students interested in attending the conference or to view some of the
research first hand. For further information contact Mr. Power at 506-210-2390, e-mail
