Abstract

This year represents the 141h year of annual multidisciplinary conferences dedicated to student scholarship at Central Washington University. In 1996, CWU sponsored the first Undergraduate Research Symposium, a showcase of faculty-mentored undergraduate student research. This event was an innovative forum for developing student scholarship that gained attention far beyond CWU. Since 1996, the undergraduate symposium expanded to include other student scholarly activity, and the broader scope was reflected in a new name in 1998, the Symposium on Undergraduate Research and Creative Expression, commonly referred to as SOURCE. Building on the success of SOURCE, a new conference was initiated in 2002 to provide a forum for graduate students and faculty to share their scholarly work with the campus community. Originally named the First Conference of Faculty and Graduate Students Research and Scholarly Achievements, the new conference was renamed the Conference of Graduate Student and Faculty Scholarship and referred to as GSFS. In 2005, the conferences combined to initiate the Symposium on University Research and Creative Expression, which aims to include an even wider community than either of those two previous events. The intent was to provide a forum to celebrate and share scholarship at CWU with all of the university, as well as the outside community. This is the fifth year of the Symposium on University Research and Creative Expression, which encourages students, faculty, and staff from all departments and units to participate. Contributions are collaborative or solo works involving any CWU student, faculty, or staff member. All forms of presentation of scholarly work are welcome, including oral presentations, posters, artwork, performances, and others.
