Omega Psi Phi, in conjunction with NASA, is sponsoring its first Science Symposium at its Leadership Conference in Las Vegas, NV this summer. Undergraduates, irrespective of Omega or fraternal affiliation, are encouraged to submit abstracts (and then papers) in various science and technology fields:
2009 Leadership Conference and Science Symposium

The Omega Psi Ph Fraternity’s Leadership Conference is an annual international event designed to promote personal development of its members through specifically orchestrated training methods. This year the conference has added a science component to highlight the accomplishments of area youth and nationwide college students in science and technological fields. The first Omega Science Symposium was created to accommodate the exchange of information on technologies, applications, and developments in science and engineering disciplines. It is organized by the Omega Psi Fraternity and its key partner the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The symposium will provide a unique opportunity for networking and technical exchange among students and professionals. It also provides an opportunity for students to be published in the first Omega Science Journal. And thus the reasons for this call for papers.
