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. Participation in the CWU conferences on scholarship has been growing. In 1996, the original Undergraduate Research Symposium had 23 presentations. This year, 279 presentations by 238 undergraduate students, 88 graduate students, and 50 faculty/staff are scheduled, including approximately 112 oral presentations, 7 mixed-media/live performances, 108 poster presentations including 5 at satellite campuses, 50 in art displays, and a fashion show. Forty-one academic units are participating in this year’s symposium: American Sign Language; Anthropology and Museum Studies; Art; Biological Sciences; Chemistry; Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute; Communication; Computer Science; Douglas Honors College; Economics; Education; English; Environmental Ethics; Family and Consumer Sciences; Film and Video Studies; Finance and Operations and Supply Chain Management; Foreign Languages; Geography; Geological Sciences; Health, Human Performance and Nutrition; History; Industrial and Engineering Technology; Information Technology and Administrative Management; Law and Justice; Management; Mathematics; Music; Philosophy; Physics; Political Science; Psychology; Religious Studies; Resource Management; Safety and Health Management; Science Education; Science Honors Program; Social Sciences; Sociology; Theatre Arts; and Women’s Studies. We continue to welcome additional growth in numbers of presenters and participants, as well as an expanded roster of participating colleges, departments, and programs. Our vision continues to be one of creating an event showcasing all realms of scholarly work at CWU, and sharing them across disciplines and with the outside community. 6 STUDENT FASHION SHOW For the first time, we are proud to have the student-produced and directedAnnual Student Fashion Show at SOURCE. This year’s show, called SatisFashion, explores the fashions that satisfy you and features eight student designers. The fashion show will be formally presented on Saturday, May 30 at 7:00 p.m. in the Milo Smith Theatre in McConnell Hall. STUDENT ART SHOW While you are attending SOURCE today, please plan on visiting the 2009 Student Art Show in the Sarah Spurgeon Gallery, Randall Hall. This year’s show features work from all of the disciplines in the visual arts taught at Central Washington University including photography, graphic design, ceramics, wood design, jewelry and metalsmithing, sculpture, painting, and drawing. The annual student art show celebrates the achievements of CWU’s student artists. All work in the show has been juried by a professional in the field as meritorious and worthy of the public’s attention. All Sarah Spurgeon Gallery activities are funded by the Associated Students of Central Washington University. CONCERTO COMPETITION After SOURCE, please visit the Music Building Concert Hall for the annual Concerto Competition beginning at 6:00 p.m. The concerto is a solo instrumental performance with orchestra, and is one of the most demanding aspects of a performer’s art. A faculty jury will chose top performers to appear with the CWU Symphony in the 2009-2010 concert season. MUSICAL INTERLUDES During this year’s symposium, musical interludes will be provided on the second floor mezzanine during inter-sessional breaks by the following performers: Paul Walk and Amy Edwards performing “Jetzt, schätzchen, jetzt sind wir allein” from Fidelio, by Beethoven and “Sull’aria,” Act 3 Duet from Le Nozze di Figaro, by Mozart during the morning intersession break. Carrie Rehkopf, John Michel, Heather Netz, and Tim Betts performing Four for Tango by Astor Piazzolla; and Carrie Rehkopf, John Michel, and Isaac Castillo performing College Hornpipe by Mark O’Connor during the banquet. J.R. Maxwell and Andrea Hansen performing Act 1 Finale, Duet and Sextet from Cosi fan tutte, by Mozart during the afternoon intersession break. PROGRAM COVER DESIGN This year’s SOURCE program cover and artistic theme, Illuminating Minds, was designed by Andrew Saxton and members of the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA) club, under the mentorship of Glen Bach. The mission of the AIGA club is to provide an outlet of professionalism, encourage creative thinking, and prepare students for a career in graphic design by advancing design skills beyond the classroom, providing client-based projects, and connecting with the professional realm of graphic design
