We are excited to invite you to attend our 3rd Annual PREM Day at UT Austin on Friday, July 12^th! This event provides an opportunity for TX State students to visit UT Austin and learn more about the Center for Dynamics and Control of Materials, an NSF MRSEC through a Center presentation, lab tours, and networking lunch. This is a wonderful opportunity for researchers from CIMA PREM and the MRSEC to come together, learn about research happening at each respective Center and deepen relationships between researchers. PREM Students are invited to present around their research as well during a poster session at the event (if you’re interested in presenting a poster – please sign up here). 

All participants in PREM day will have an opportunity to tour 4 different MRSEC labs during the morning session (full agenda below). In order to best tailor these lab tours with student interest, we’ve put together an RSVP survey where you can indicate those preferences. On our end, we’ll do our best to match you with your top preferences.

Please RSVP here by Wednesday, June 26th: https://utexas.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cSk3KyjwYawo4OW
