Imagine back to 1988 -- a time of big hair and shoulder pads, Don't Worry, Be Happy and Yo MTV Raps!...and the first UBRP conference. We are thrilled to be celebrating the 20th annual UBRP conference next year on January 17, 2009 and plan to make the event bigger and better than ever. Aside from the annual poster conference for current UBRPers, we are planning to make this 20th conference special by holding a reunion for all UBRP faculty and student alumni. Please mark your calendars for the date and plan to join us. A committee of past and current UBRP students and supporters has been formed and is hard at work to make this a very memorable event. Look for updates and more details in the monthly UBRP newsletter as we get closer to January 2009!

If you would like more information on the 20th UBRP conference or if you would like to help in any way, including being on the committee to create this special event, we would love to hear from you. Please contact Carol Bender at bender@email.arizona.edu or Rebecca Page at Rebecca_Page@brown.edu
