Meeting of the Minds Conference, held annually, is a two-day showcase of
the results of undergraduate research projects. ACC students present
their undergraduate research results to peers from other universities
and undergraduate research administrators. Student papers are read.
Student performances occur. Experiments are demonstrated. Networks are
enhanced. ACC universities recruit new graduate students. The aura is
that of a professional scholarly meeting. Special sessions are also
held concerning best practices in undergraduate research programming and
administration. The conference rotates among ACC campuses. Each
university receives funds to support travel and lodging. Persons
interested in attending one of these conferences should contact their
university’s undergraduate research administrator.
