Thanks to all who made Science Day 2008 a success!

Science Day at the U

SCIENCE will drive the 21st century, just like the Industrial Revolution and manufacturing drove the 20th century. Students become part of this driving force through events like Science Day at the U.

On Saturday, November 7, 2009, high school students (sophomores, juniors and seniors) from around the state of Utah and Idaho are invited to the University of Utah campus to attend a full day of science-related workshops and academic advice. These interactive workshops with University of Utah professors give high school students a great look at laboratory research and career opportunities in science, math, and engineering. This annual event showcases the science and math programs at the University of Utah and is absolutely free to students, parents, and educators. Lunch is provided.

The event begins at 8:30 AM with Check-In and Opening Reception at 9:30 AM in the A. Ray Olpin Union Building. Science Day ends at 3:30 PM.

Our goal is to show Utah students the excellent research University in their own "backyard." Registration materials will be mailed to those interested in attending.

Teachers, counselors and parents are encouraged to attend Science Day with their students.
