SOURCE Symposium & Poster Sessions
SOURCE is grateful for the funding received from the Case Alumni Association, which funds approximately 25 undergraduate summer research students. Most of these students and many others will be presenting posters about their work at Intersections: SOURCE Symposium & Poster Session on Friday, April 16, noon-2-45pm in Adelbert Gym.
SOURCE invites Case Alumni Association members to attend and discuss with the students about their work. SOURCE also needs judges for students who have requested being part of our competition. If interested, please contact Sheila Pedigo, SOURCE Director at 368-8508 or at sheila.pedigo@case.edu.
Congratulations to the 2009 CAA SOURCE scholarship recipients!
