Undergraduate Researchers Shine at 2006 SOURCE Symposium

This year's SOURCE (Support of Undergraduate Research and Creative Endeavors) Symposium and Poster Session, held in mid-April, gave Case students an opportunity to present their research and creative projects to the university community. The session also allowed the university community to see how undergraduate student involvement in research and creative endeavors contributes to and enhances the undergraduate educational experience and Case's reputation as a research university.

Award winners at the session were selected in seven categories: humanities; arts; natural sciences and mathematics; engineering and computer science; management and accounting; school of nursing; and social sciences.
