DeWan will discuss his work on the relationship of committees and

They are among the contingent of 47 students and five
faculty who travel to NCUR 2000 – the National Conference on
Undergraduate Research – April 27 through 29 at the University of
Montana, Missoula.
Union consistently has one of the largest groups at NCUR,
which draws over 2,000 undergraduates, faculty, and administrators to hear
and discuss undergraduate creative and scholarly work. Union has hosted
NCUR twice.
Accompanying this year's group are faculty members
Ashraf Ghaly, civil engineering; Megan Ferry, modern languages; and James
Adrian and Michael Hagerman, chemistry. Tom Werner of chemistry, former
chair of the NCUR board of governors, will be at the conference as
director of the NCUR-Lancy Initiative, which provides funding for summer
student research programs.
