Deborah Langley, a WSU Vancouver student, was the originating force behind last year’s premier Research Showcase.
The main emphasis of last year’s showcase was internal to the campus – getting people to talk across disciplinary boundaries about their research. This year, with additional backing from Michael Morgan, the university’s new director of research, and the WSU Vancouver Honors Program, the WSU Vancouver Research Showcase is being made open to the community.
