Please join us for the opening of Luis Cruz Azaceta's exhibition on Tuesday, January 17th at 7:00
pm.
The work in this exhibition was made in its entirety during his residency at the University of
Georgia. He has been examining themes of anxiety and displacement as he travels back and forth
from his studio in post-Katrina New Orleans to his temporary home here in Athens. Cruz is a
prolific and relentless artist who has certainly had a profound impact on our community during
this fruitful residency.

5. The Center for Undergraduate Research Opportunities (CURO)is pleased to announce the Call
for Proposals for Undergraduate Research for Summer 2006. CURO awards Summer Research
Fellowships to academically talented UGA undergraduates who participate in research during the
summer term at the University of Georgia. In order to apply, students must submit:
1) an official transcript
2) a cover letter explaining the value of the summer research fellowship
to academic and/or career aspirations or explorations
3) a one page research proposal
4) one letter of support from the sponsoring faculty mentor under separate cover to Associate
Director, Center for Undergraduate Research Opportunities, Dr. Pamela B. Kleiber, 203 Moore
College, CAMPUS no later than Friday, March 20, 2006.
In order to apply, the University of Georgia student must have a 3.4 grade point average, along
with thirty UGA hours, and must also be willing to commit to the following:
1) Enroll in any two sequential Honors undergraduate research courses totaling six hours of
academic credit during the summer semester: HONS 4960H, HONS 4970H, HONS 4980H, and
HONS 4990H. The expectation is that approximately 320 hours of research will be invested in
research during the summer session, arranged by the supervising faculty mentor and the student.
Students should not expect to take additional courses during this period, but take full advantage
of an intensive, immerse research experience. A stipend of $2500 is awarded to each Summer
Fellow at the beginning of the summer term.
Students must register for these classes before they are eligible to receive a Fellowship. If, during
the course of the Fellowship, the student withdraws from these classes for any reason, the stipend
must be returned in full.
2) Submit an abstract of the summer research to the CURO office by the last day of finals of
summer 2006 semester, for possible presentation at the annual CURO Symposium in April 2007.
Fellowship recipients are required to attend the Symposium even if their abstract is not accepted
for presentation.
3) Participate in panel discussions with CURO faculty throughout the academic year in order to
contribute to creating a culture of inquiry at the University of Georgia.
