The undergraduate symposium quickly expanded to include other student scholarly activity and, in 1998, the broader scope was reflected in a new name: the Symposium on Undergraduate Research and Creative Expression. In 2002, the Conference of Graduate Student and Faculty Scholarship was initiated. Three years after that, the conferences merged to create the Symposium on University Research and Creative Expression (SOURCE), which sought to build upon the solid foundations laid by those previous events. The intent of SOURCE, which celebrates its sixth anniversary this year, is to provide students, faculty, and staff from all departments and units with a platform to present their individual or collaborative scholarly work, while providing a forum for sharing and celebrating that scholarship with the university and broader community. A variety and expanding number of presentation forms are seen at SOURCE, including oral and poster presentations, artwork, and performances, to name a few. SOURCE fosters innovative scholarship as a way of learning and life, and strives to: 1. Enhance and promote scholarship based on the discovery, creativity, and inquiry, and the entrepreneurial talents of CWU students, faculty, and staff; 2. Commend the diligence and commitment of mentors from secondary and post-secondary educational institutions and industry; 3. Cultivate the next generation of research mentors and professionals; and 4. Enhance local, regional, and global engagement by building partnerships, which unite higher education, industry, and government. In 1996, the original Undergraduate Research Symposium had twenty-three presentations. This year, more than 580 individuals are scheduled to present approximately 150 oral presentations, 138 poster presentations— including eleven at satellite campuses, eighteen creative expression presentations, nine business plans, the single reed musical performance evening, and a fashion show. Forty-four academic and student life programs are participating at SOURCE this year: Anthropology and Museum Studies; Art; Biological Sciences; Bridges to Baccalaureate Program; Career Services; Center for Excellence in Science and Mathematics Education; Chemistry; Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute; Communication; Computer Science; Dance; Douglas Honors College; Economics; Education; English; Facilities Planning and Construction; Family and Consumer Sciences; Film and Video Studies; Finance and Operations and Supply Chain Management; Geography; Geological Sciences; Health; History; Industrial and Engineering Technology; Information Technology and Administrative Management; Law and Justice; Management; Mathematics; McNair Scholars Program; Music; Music Education; Nutrition, Exercise and Health Services; Philosophy; Physics; Political Science; Primate Behavior; Psychology; Recreation Tourism; Resource Management; Science Education; Science Honors Research Program; Science Talent Expansion Program; Sociology; and Theatre Arts. SOURCE continues to welcome additional growth in numbers of presenters and participants, as well as an expanded roster of participating colleges, departments, and programs. SOURCE’s vision remains one of creating an event that showcases the depth and breadth of CWU scholarly work, and sharing those endeavors with the campuses and communities served by the university. 4 STUDENT FASHION SHOW The CWU Fashion Merchandising program is proud to present the 15th annual spring fashion show, REVOLUTION. Come and see a show where the clothing and the atmosphere are a Revolutionary experience for all. Featuring the latest trends and original student designs, the show is produced by the FCSA 181 Fashion Show Production class and the original designs are from students taking FCSA 488 Fashion Line Development. BUSINESS PLAN COMPETITION This year marks the first SOURCE business plan competition. This competition is in coordination with the Extreme Entrepreneurship Tour Event held in February, 2011. Awards are generously sponsored by the Herbert B. Jones Foundation. Nine students are finalists in the competition. DIGITAL VISUALIZATION LAB The Science Phase II pre-design committee recently proposed a building design that includes a Digital Visualization Laboratory (DVL), a facility that goes well beyond a traditional planetarium and can accommodate instructional or scholarly projects from engineering through graphic arts. A portable version of the facility will be on campus, Thursday, May 19, during SOURCE. The structure will be set up in the SURC’s north-most basketball court. Please check the DVL information table in the SURC Ballroom for spaces which may become available throughout the day to view a demonstration. PROGRAM COVER DESIGN This year’s SOURCE program cover was designed by graphic design undergraduate student Jennifer Cooley under the mentorship of professor Glen Bach. PROGRAM PHOTOGRAPHY Undergraduate student, Amanda Umberger, is the official SOURCE photographer. She has volunteered her time since 2008. She is a double major seeking a BFA in Fine Art, Photography and a BS in Information Technology & Administrative Management, Web Design. Students of the spring quarter RMT467, Retail Technology Management class also volunteered their time to photograph SOURCE 2010 participants. Central staff Valerie Chapman-Stockwell and Rich Villacres contributed additional photographs. SINGLE REED NIGHT The Music Department’s single reed studio presents an evening of music featuring outstanding solo and ensemble performances from saxophone and clarinet students. The performances will be held in Music Building Recital Hall at 7 p.m. Due to limited space, participation is limited to invited participants. 5 PRESIDENT’S WELCOME May 19, 2011 I would like to extend my personal welcome, and that of all members of the Central Washington University administration,
