From Student to Scholar
Throughout the College, undergraduates are becoming involved in research.
Some are presenting their work at conferences and in professional journals,
with guidance from faculty mentors.
A
Question of Ethics
When the UW's Ethics Dawgs--a team of undergraduate philosophy students--competed
in the Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl in Washington D.C., they won first
place, unseating the three-time defending champions.
Bringing the World to Young Listeners
When UW music education students travelled to an elementary school on
the Yakama Indian Reservation to teach about music from diverse cultures,
they found they learned as much as the children at the school.
Leading
Biotechnology into the 21st Century
While he was a UW undergraduate, Arthur Levinson did cancer research in
