In what is becoming a Fort Lewis College tradition, the FLC School of Natural and Behavioral Sciences presented the 3^rd Annual Undergraduate Research Symposium on April 17, 2008. Fort Lewis College students from a multitude of academic disciplines used the Symposium to present their research projects. Other students, faculty, staff and members of the community attended the event, which included both oral and poster presentations. Each year, the Symposium draws larger and larger crowds, and this year was no different with record attendance. “This one is particularly good,” Dr. John Ninnemann said of this year’s Symposium. Dr. Ninnemann is the dean of the School of Natural and Behavioral Sciences at Fort Lewis College. Dr. Ninnemann acknowledged the diverse academic focuses of the students presenting their work. “We put chemists next to anthropologists next to psychologists because we think it’s really neat for the students to see the different disciplines and what’s going on in the different disciplines.” Another purpose of the Symposium is to show students what they can accomplish at a school like Fort Lewis College. Many prospective college students believe they must attend a large school to enjoy the best graduate school or career opportunities after they graduate. According to Dr. Ninnemann, what really makes the difference is the work and research the students have done over their academic careers. “Our purpose here is to give our students an edge,” Dr. Ninnemann said of the chance for students to both conduct and present their research. One student, Fort Lewis College senior Rebecca Crew, studied the sample contamination rates between two procedures veterinarians use to collect urine samples for testing. Her results found that the procedure used most often by veterinarians in this area resulted in a greater potential for sample contamination. Rebecca is graduating this April and will continue her academic career at Colorado State University.
