SOURCE - The Symposium On University Research and Creative Expression (SOURCE) is a “university-wide forum that showcases all genres of scholarly work” by Central students and faculty.
· SOURCE 2004-2005 Art students who won recognition were: James Reiman, “Redefining Gender” Sponsored by Professor Chalmers, Photography. Reiman won an award for Outstanding Undergraduate Student Oral Presentations; Dean Van Horn’s work Paintings, Mountains of Muscle and Depth of Roots sponsored by Maria Sadel, Art Adjunct, won Honorable Mention for Creative Work. Other participants who did not receive awards were Kevin Malella “Mannefection”, and Stefan Scherperel “Awake: An Interpretation of Dreams.” Both students were sponsored by Professor Chalmers, photography. Additional work in painting was presented by Chad Rosenburg, “Icons”: Experiencing Uncertainty, sponsored by Professor Goeltzenleuchter and Maria Sadel; and Eric Carson “A Universal Model” along with Rian Nielsen “The Matuschanskayasky Sequence” the latter sponsored by Maria Sadel.
· SOURCE 2003-2004 participants were Krista Hect “The Mating and Waiting Series” sponsored by Professor Chalmers, Photography.
Flight Technology Learning Community (LLC) established in 2002 with approximately 30 new students each year Students participated in the planning and implementation of ACES summer camp for young women established summer 2004. Students have won scholarships at local, regional, national, and international levels. Some students were participants in faculty-sponsored research. Students have presented at CEPS professional colloquium, poster sessions, and regional conferences. Several students and graduates have won scholarships from Women in Aviation international, including a recent one for a Cessna Citation type rating and job with Cessna. Many of our graduates go directly into flight instructing positions. In the past five years over 40 of our graduates have been hired by Midstate Aviation, our contract flight school. Others have been placed at Wings Aloft (at least three since 2000), Auburn Flight Center (at least two since 2000) and with Kenmore Air Harbor (at least two since 2000), all located in Seattle. At least two of our 2004 graduates work for Wings flight school in Wenatchee, Washington. One 2004 graduate is flight and classroom instructing for the University of Alaska, Anchorage. After acquiring a minimum number of flight hours many of our graduates have been placed with Aeroflight (approximately five since 2000), and Ameriflight (approximately four since 2000). One 2002 graduate was flying for a small freight airline located in Anchorage, Alaska. Two 2004 graduates are instructing in Annapolois, MD and one in North Carolina. Approximately four graduates since 2000 have worked for Grand Canyon Air Tours. After acquiring the minimum time for flying with an airline, many of our graduates who held positions of employment listed in (a) above have continued on to airline jobs. Approximately 12 of our graduates have been hired by Skywest Airlines since 2000. During a visit to Horizon Air summer in the fall of 2005 Dale Wilson counted at least 40 of our graduates currently working at Horizon (number hired in past five years not known). Several of our graduates have chosen careers in the military. Approximately three to five graduates per year chose this career track. Graduates from our management degree have found varied employment. One graduate is now the general manager of an experimental aircraft company located in Olympia, Washington. One 2004 graduate went to work for a flight school located in Pensacola, FL. One 2005 management graduate is currently flying charter flights in Africa. Many of our Aviation Management graduates have completed their flight certificates elsewhere and have moved into flight instructor/pilot positions.
We have greatly increased our efforts in mentoring students and involving them in research projects. The increasing number of SOURCE presentations reflect this effort by the faculty.
The accomplishments of our students are a source of great pride in the Chemistry Department. Students annually present at SOURCE and regularly win presentation awards. Students have also presented at regional and national meetings including the ACS National Meeting, Northwest Regional ACS Meeting, Murdock College Science Conference, ACS Puget Sound Section Undergraduate Research Symposium, Council on Undergraduate Research conference and the Pacific Northwest Association of Toxicologists annual meeting. In the last three years students presented 29 oral and 24 poster presentations at SOURCE. They have won one honorable mention, one first place, and two outstanding oral presentations and one honorable mention and one first place poster presentation awards. Twelve students have been selected for the Science Honors Program. Five students have been nominated and received alumni association scholarships. The chemistry club received an honorable mention award for two of the last three years (150 of 950 chapters are recognized). Thirty-four students recieved internal undergraduate research grants. Nine graduate students received thesis grants. Chemistry Department graduates have been successful in obtaining industrial positions, teaching positions, admittance to graduate school, and acceptance to professional programs. Students who have matriculated with baccalaureate degrees from the Chemistry Department in the past have entered Ph.D. programs at the following institutions: University of Illinois, Indiana University, University of Montana, University of Oregon, Ohio State University, University of Washington, and Washington State University. The Chemistry Department also sends high quality students to professional schools of medicine, pharmacy, optometry and dentistry and to Ph.D. programs in the health sciences. Most of these students have been undergraduate researchers in chemistry faculty laboratories. The pre-pharmacy students of CWU require a separate note to describe their unique circumstance. Pre-pharmacy students need only to complete prerequisites to enter Doctorate of Pharmacy programs. No degree is required. Dawn (Sanderlin) Ipsen is an example of a student who never graduated from CWU. Yet she spent several years in the chemistry department acquiring her prerequisites for pharmacy school, participating in undergraduate research, and serving as a teaching assistant. Such students are not counted in the measures of quantity included in this report. They are nevertheless our loyal alumni and the Chemistry Department is proud of their accomplishments.

January, 2008 Over the past three years, undergraduate students in Cmputer Science have achieved the following: - Twnety-four students have participated in 15 SOURCE presentations - Twelve students have had had nine presentations and external publications - Twenty-one students have been selected as Computer Science Outstanding Graduates - Eleven students have graduated as Dean Scholars - One student received and Outstanding Achievement Award from the Center for Excellence in Leadership
Faculty of this department remain active in outreach programs and participate actively in SOURCE and Douglas Honors College. This allows the faculty and students of DOE to interact vigorously with other faculty and students across campus, and makes this department one of the most visible on campus. Faculty members also direct students with research projects, some of which have led to publications and presentations at professional meetings.

SOURCE (Symposium on Undergraduate Research and Creative Expression)--Last year we had two students participate in the conference: Lisa Ostrander and Dustin Clark. CWU Graduate Conference--In 2003, three graduate students (Bill Frank, Carolyn Clark, and Jennifer Meyer) participated. Bill Frank and Jennifer Meyer won honorable mention awards for their papers. CWU Distinguished Thesis Award--Since this award was started in the late 1970s, history department students have won this award more often than any other program on campus. In the last five years, two history graduate students won the award. Tracey Pepper received the award in 2001, and Michael Duerre won it in 2003. National Science Foundation Research Experience--This is a program of field research in the Social Sciences for undergraduates. The eight-week program is comprised of: ten days of research preparation at Central Washington University; four weeks of research in Beijing and Xian; and two weeks of analysis, writing, and presentation at Central Washington University. In the past the History Department has sent Jody Bell, Mara Knight, Elizabeth Medford, and Kayme Lambert on this summer program. Phi Alpha Theta Conference (National Honor Society for Historians)--Last year seven undergraduate and graduate students presented papers at the regional conference held in Bellingham. McNair Scholars Program--Several students went on to prestigious fellowships after being mentored by history department faculty.
Each year one or two students from the IET department present their work at this campus wide event. Sample projects include comparing project management software or comparing metallurgical properties in a poster sessions. Students routinely present the results of their work at national and regional conferences. For example an MET student recently presented his work at the national Foundry Education conference in Chicago, IL.
While neither the department nor career services maintain statistics on student employment, we have compiled a list of some of the jobs that our majors have obtained since graduating from CWU.

1. Each year, several LAJ students have been honored as Presidents’ and Deans’ scholars for graduation. One student has since been hired by the Federal Bureau of Land Management and graduated first in his class academically from FLETC. Over the past five years, over 85 LAJ students have been accepted into Alpha Phi Sigma, the National Criminal Justice Honor Society. 2. Many LAJ students are also gifted athletes and make up a significant percentage of the CWU football, soccer, basketball, baseball, wrestling, swimming and volleyball teams. Each year, several of these students have been named to all- district academic-athlete teams. 3. Our students have been quite involved in professional activities such as paper presentations at professional meetings and independent research. No systematic data are available concerning the number of students who go on to graduate study, however, anecdotal evidence suggests several go to law school or pursue a M.S., M.A. or M.S.W. Our recent alumni survey data indicates 17% of respondents were in law school/graduate school, while another 48% were currently employed in law and justice areas. Thus, 65% of respondents were pursuing law and justice areas.

There are some consistent sources of anecdotal evidence gathered about music education graduates and their successes: i. The annual All-State or All-Northwest MENC conferences. Aside from attending clinics and presentations, or hearing performances by ensembles directed by CWU graduates, the CWU Alumni Reception provides a venue for much informal sharing of stories of successes and teaching experiences. ii. The annual department Choral, Jazz, Orchestra and Band Festivals for High School ensembles are always attended by many CWU graduates presently teaching in the field, and the performances of their ensembles are tangible evidence of their successes. iii. Individual applied instruction faculty members maintain networks with their former students and often report back on their post-graduate experiences. iv. Many former students are among the applicants for the graduate program, and many have successfully enjoyed TA appointments.
Health Programs: School Health Program – In 2005, one School Health major was named AAHPERD’s National Student of the Year, and a different student was named WAHPERD Student of the Year. Public Health Program – One group of undergraduate students participated in the end-of-quarter poster presentations held at CWU. One undergraduate student has submitted a manuscript to a peer-reviewed journal. Four students received scholarships to attend the Joint Conference on Health in Washington. We have had two students complete international cooperative education placements; one in Peru and one in Costa Rica. Physical Education Food Science & Nutrition: NUTR faculty and students routinely present original research at SOURCE. In addition, both faculty mentored undergraduate and graduate research has been presented at the annual meeting of the American Dietetic Association. In 2006, NUTR sent a group of undergraduate students to compete in the Nutrition College Bowl at CSU-Northridge against 8 other university programs. The team from CWU won the event. Para-medicine: 95% first time pass rate on national registry exam, and 100% job placement of students who complete the program. Exercise Science: As a result of the internship-culminating component of the BS: EXSC, students network in the professional arenas in which they seek employment and are quite successful at securing professional positions. For example: Summer 2007 – of the total internship placements (~20), positions were secured by ~70%, and additional 10 – 15% proceeded to graduate school, and the remaining 15% took a different career path. Graduate Programs: HHPN collaborative research among faculty and students (students highlighted in red).

SOURCE (Symposium on Undergraduate Research and Creative Expression)— Philosophy and Religious Studies students have been at the forefront of pioneering humanities based projects at this largely science and social sciences oriented forum. Students have also presented papers at regional undergraduate conferences and participated in the northwest Ethics Bowl in 2007.
1. The CWU chapter was selected as an “Outstanding SPS Chapter” each year in the past three years. 2. SOURCE Presentations (2007 – six student presentations; 2006 – four student presentations, one “Outstanding Undergraduate Student Oral Presentation” award in SOURCE 2006). 3. Sigma Pi Sigma Undergraduate Research Award (funded for $2,000 from competitive grant program) (2007) 4. Ten students have been inducted into Sigma Pi Sigma over the past three years (four in 2007, two in 2006 and four in 2005). 5. Two physics majors were selected for the Science Honors program (one for 2006, one for 2007).
-Students from Prof. Wirths policy seminar regularly present at SOURCE (CWU Symposium on University Research & Creative Expression), and occasionally students of other professors do as well. During the period under review, 20 students did so – 7 in 2002; 1 in 2003; 5 in 2004; 3 in 2005; and 5 in 2006. -about half of the students of Prof. Wirth who present at SOURCE also present in the student portion of the National Social Science Association meeting in Las Vegas, NV each Spring. -As for Career Placement information, we have only anecdotal evidence (though as Noam Chomsky notes, the plural of anecdote is data), since there is no systematic way to track our majors. However, several of our graduates from the time period under review are in some way working in the field, broadly construed. Examples: Shawn Bills (2003), is regional office director for US Senator Patty Murray, in Yakima, WA; Althea Cawley-Murphree (2001) is Communications Director for Gov. Christine Gregoire, Olympia, WA, and previously was lead policy analyst for the Housing Authority of Snohomish County; Colin McLaurin (2001) is Legislative Analyst for the National Association of Realtors in Washington, DC; Jessica Lautz (2001) is Research Analyst at Westat, a federal government contractor dealing with special education policy in Washington, DC; Josh Dazey (2002) worked as a staffer for state Sen. Harold Hochstatter (Olympia) and for the Second Amendment Foundation in Bellevue, WA and was Communications Director for nointernettax.org (before going on to law school); Emily Washines(2006) is Native American Liaison for CWU Admissions; Robert “Bo” McHaney (2005) is Legislative Assistant to State Rep. Mary Skinner (R-Yakima). -During the period, we had a number of students go on to graduate school: Jessica Lautz, MPP, American University; Althea Cawley-Murphree, MA, Evans School of Public Policy, University of Washington; Scott Leadingham, PhD Program in Public Policy, Indiana University; Kevin Bourgault, MA/ABD in Environmental Studies and Policy, Duke University; Andrew Nicholas, MPP, American University; Casey Rettenmeier, Masters in Education, Pacific Lutheran University; Jake Santestevan, MA in Political Science, Univ. of Montana; Jameson Kelleher, now getting an MA in International Affairs; Michael Skiff, who is pursuing an MPA at University of Nebraska-Omaha. -During the period, we had many students go on to law school, though these are the only confirmed ones: Jamie Danielson (Univ. of Oregon); Josh Dazey (Georgetown University); Trevor Zandell (Gonzaga University); Christina Morovics (Australian National University); Roslyn Sterling (Gonzaga). NOTE: The above applies to students from 2001-05, the years of the program review. Updated information can be provided if necessary. Jan. 08
