Many thanks to the CUSRR Planning Committee and to our financial benefactors,

We must also thank Crab Apple Whitewater for their terrific hospitality and to our Keynote Speaker Dr. Scott Murchie ’81 from Johns Hopkins University, who presented a lecture entitled, “New Views of Mercury and Mars: Fire and Ice in the Inner Solar System”.

The most sincere thanks must go to the 70 students who participated in CUSRR 2009.
