Stander Symposium. The Stander Symposium showcases individual and collaborative undergraduate and graduate research, creative endeavors, and academic achievements. Above all, the Symposium and your participation showcase our shared values as members of the University of Dayton commu- nity. This is the 27th year of the Symposium, honoring the late Bro. Joseph W. Stander, S.M., Professor of Mathematics and Provost (1974–1989). This University-wide celebration of academic excellence exemplifies the Marianist tradition of learning in community. The Symposium’s alternate day of learning includes poster sessions, hands-on activities, performances, art exhibits, oral presentations and highlights of capstone course work. The achievements and collaborations on display throughout the Stander Sympo- sium reflect the continuing commitment of students and faculty to this great tradition. The Stander Symposium would not exist without an extraordinary effort from across the campus community — students, faculty and staff. On behalf of the Stander Symposium Steering Committee, we thank you for your support and participation. Sincerely, Randy Sparks, Ph.D. Shannon Driskell, Ph.D. Co-Chair, Stander Symposium Co-Chair, Stander Symposium Professor, Professor, School of Business College of Arts and Sciences: Administration: Mathematics Management and Marketing 1 ABOUT THE STANDER SYMPOSIUM Honoring the late Brother Joseph W. Stander, S.M., Professor of Mathematics and Provost (1974–1989), the Stander Symposium celebrates academic excel- lence, rich collaborations and many forms of intellectual, artistic, and spiritual growth. The career of Brother Joe embodied the spirit of collaboration and the Stander Symposium stands as a continuing tribute to him and all who carry on the Marianist tradition of education through community. A distinctive spirit permeates student research at the University of Dayton. The faculty and students of the University are determined that “a community of Brother Joseph W. learners” is not a cliche but a realistic goal. Thus the University fosters an atmo- Stander, S.M. sphere that nurtures productive collaboration and a shared search for excellence Professor of Mathematics in learning and in research. The Stander Symposium is a day-and-a-half long Provost (1974–1989) event, and constitutes the University of Dayton’s principal annual celebration of academic excellence. The Symposium features a keynote speaker, poster sessions, hands-on activities, performances, exhibits, oral presentations and highlights of capstone course work. All students at the university engaging in research, creative endeavors, and other forms of innovative thinking are encouraged to participate in this student research symposium. Student attendees are key members of a critically reflec- tive audience for their peers. Faculty members serve as mentors and leaders for many of these projects and are the driving force behind scholarship in their fields. The efforts of students, faculty, and staff are critical to making this event successful year after year. 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Brother Joseph W.
