Undergrads display their year of research

Members of Washington State University’s undergraduate scholarly community will reveal their research findings during the Freshman Seminar Research Symposium Wednesday, April 21st from 5:00 pm to 8:30 pm on the 4th floor of the Center for Undergraduate Education (CUE).

The researchers, all first-year students enrolled in the University’s Freshman Seminar Program, have worked under the mentorship of undergraduate and graduate students as well as teaching and library faculty. 11 seminars will participate in presenting their projects. These projects are a culmination of research and analysis and are presented using multimedia technologies.

The Freshman Seminar Program’s excellence has received national acclaim. In Fall 2001, Freshman Seminar was awarded the Commission for Academic Support in Higher Education Exemplary Programs Award as well as the American College Personal Association Excellent Student Program Award. In 1999, Freshman Seminar was nominated for recognition by the John Templeton Foundation for “educating to foster personal and civic responsibility.”

The April 21st Research Symposium is free and open to the public. For more information, contact the Student Advising and Learning Center at Washington State University, 335-7212.
