Armed with topics ranging from “Elemental Components of Mohawk
River Mud” to “Orchestration in the Symphonies of Carl Nielsen,” a busload
of 49 Union students will leave on Wednesday for the three-day National Conference on
Undergraduate Research at Salisbury (Maryland) State University.
Union is expected to have among the largest contingents, according to
Prof. Thomas Werner, chair of the NCUR Board of Governors. “We have been
multi-disciplinary in the extreme with equal numbers of students from both areas (arts and
sciences), which reflects our mission,” he said.
Union students have attended NCUR since the inaugural in 1987, and Union
hosted the conference in 1990 and 1995.
