Christina Sorum, dean of faculty and Frank Bailey Professor of
Classics, and Tom Werner, Florence
B. Sherwood Professor of Physical Sciences, Department of Chemistry, were
coauthors of an article, “Enriching Undergraduate Research and Scholarly Activity
Opportunities in All Disciplines at Union College” in the June 2003 issue of
the Council on Undergraduate Research
Quarterly. The five-page article, with photos of Union projects, details
the history of research at Union, institutional funding and incentives, Union's
involvement with the National Conference on Undergraduate Research, the
Steinmetz Symposium and summer undergraduate research at Union. Werner also recently gave a talk, “Undergraduate Research: Past, Present and Future” at the 31st
Northeast Region Meeting of the American Chemical Society in Saratoga Springs, and participated in an NIH-funded curriculum development
workshop at the Biological Sciences Curriculum Study in Colorado Springs. The workshop developed a curriculum supplement on
scientific inquiry for the middle school level.
