However, there is no universally agreed definition, and no common metric for its evaluation. A panel of graduate students, drawn from engineering, communications, and history, will discuss sustainability from their respective discipline perspectives. The panel will attempt to negotiate an agreed definition and then will discuss what makes sustainability unique as a field of research. 4 Proceedings of the 7th Annual GRASP symposium, Wichita State University, 2011 2011 GRASP Symposium Oral Judges Kathy Downes ~Lead Judge, University Libraries Anthony Dilollo, Communication Science & Disorders Glyn Rimmington, Liberal Arts Fuchang Liu, Curriculum and Instruction Lyn Goldberg, Communication Science & Disorders Poster Judges Jay Price ~ Lead Judge, History Department Brian Bolin, School of Social Work Zhiren Jin, Mathematics & Statistics Jeffrey Jarman, Elliott School of Communication Larry Whitman, Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering Jodi Pelkowski, Department of Economics Ngoyi Bukonda, Department of Public Health Sciences Chu-Ping Vijverberg, Department of Economics Robert Owens, History Department Terry Decker, History Department Antje Mefferd, Department of Communication Science and Disorders Anh Tran, Department of Curriculum and Instruction 5 Proceedings of the 7th Annual GRASP symposium, Wichita State University, 2011 2011 GRASP winners Oral Division 1st place Sharon Hakim, Diversity, Trust and Social Capital: Examining Community Level Relationships, Mentor: Gregory Meissen, Department of Psychology 2nd place Navaneetha Krishnan Subbaiyan, Water Soluble Porphyrin Based Solar Cell, Mentor: Francis D‘Souza, Department of Chemistry 3rd place Prasanna Tamilselvan, Multi-Sensor Health Diagnosis Using Deep Belief Network Based State Classification, Mentor: Pingfeng Wang, Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering 3rd place Trevor Stutz, Alison Phillipson, Michael Denning & David Cary, Use of a Commercially Available Gaming System Console to Improve Fuctional Fitness in Older Adults: Nintendo Wii Active, Mentors: John Carter & Nicole Rogers, Department of Physical Therapy 5th place Viet Q.
