Curry Research Conference

Hi everyone,

As some of you know, I am currently working as a Child Development Research Assistant here at the University of Virginia.  This experience has provided me with many valuable opportunities to learn and better myself.  In June I attended a Research Conference in Washington D.C.  Over the summer I worked with my colleague to write a proposal for a poster presentation in the SRCD conference coming up this March.  The proposal was accepted into the conference and we are now working on developing the poster.  Unfortunately, I will be unable to attend this conference  =(

During my fall semester I was presented with an opportunity to write my very own proposal and submit it to the Curry Research Conference here at my school.  I cannot begin to tell you how hard this process was, being that I was so new to it.  There were times where I sat in front of the computer wanting to give up because I couldn't understand the language of the research world, or what it is I was doing.  Luckily, I made it through and my proposal was accepted for a poster presentation at the conference.  Over Christmas break I worked on the poster and presented it on February 11th.  It went very well.  I was one of five (of the first) undergraduates to be accepted into this conference.  The other four girls did a project together and I did mine on my own (because I work in a separate building off campus and they did their study as part of a program).  This was such a wonderful experience, although difficult and I wanted to share it all with you.  I wish all of you could have been there!!

Me and my poster  =)

Test

I tried posting this before, but I wasn't signed in properly.  Just want to see if this generates an email to all that someone posted something.

Come on everyone...POST!  This is a cool way to keep eachother updated.

Miss you all!

Hi everyone,

I just want to try this out and see if it works.  Whenever someone posts on here, you all should get an email letting you know.  Hopefully it works!  Miss you all and wish I could have been there on Saturday!
