In this issue of the undergraduate newsletter, we look forward to Family Weekend, and in particular to the college's Family Day event, a gathering on Saturday morning at the Texas Memorial Museum where students and parents will have a chance to meet each other, faculty, and administrators.
We speak to Elaine Sedenberg, the student speaker at the event, to see what she's thinking she might say. We invite parents to deepen their involvement in the natural sciences community by subscribing to the e-newsletter. I return to the airwaves to talk directly to parents about how they can help their kids get the most out of their time in college. And we highlight what the students in the Freshman Research initiative have to say—by way of YouTube—about what makes their research projects special.
