<bigger>This Conference offers undergraduates the opportunity to
present their original research in any area of biology or biochemistry
to an audience of students and faculty from many participating
institutions.  With the involvement of thousands of students and
hundreds of faculty from throughout the Western region over the years,
the Conference continues to provide a unique forum to showcase student
talents and enthusiasm and to foster faculty involvement in a unique
and supportive setting.  As in past years, we welcome the support and
participation of the TriBeta National Honor Society.


The Beckman Center promises to be an excellent venue for our conference
this year.  Owned and operated by the National Academies of Science and
Engineering, it is an elegant and outstanding state-of-the-art facility
which has served as a meeting place for the Academies, the National
Research Council, and the Institute of Medicine.  There is ample room
for plenary sessions, break-out areas for writing sessions, and dining
and social activities.  The facility is easily accessible by air and
</bigger>auto.
