Sorum, Werner publish on College's undergrad research

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.
