Thirty Union students and four faculty made up one of
the largest contingents at the National Conference on
Undergraduate Research at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater
last week.
“What we do best is the distribution of students
across the curriculum,” said Ann Anderson of mechanical
engineering, who traveled with the Union group. “We had students from
all four divisions.”
Among the presenters were: Ben Gauthier '02,
mechanical engineering, on “Enhanced Aerogel Fabrication;”
Nathaniel Strosberg '02, political science, on “Community Power and
Mass Transportation;” Renee Rinaldi '02, sociology-Africana
studies, on “Roda de Capoeira: Who is the Circle Protecting?” and
Sharon Pozner '02, biology, on “The Role of Adhesion Proteins
and Noncentrosomal Microtubules in Centrosome Reorientation.”
Also accompanying the group were professors Tom Werner, Peter Tobiessen and
Barb Danowski.
The 12th Steinmetz Symposium is set for Friday, May 10.
