Office of Undergraduate Research
E-mail: our@cwu.edu
The mission of the Symposium for University Research and Creative Expression (SOURCE) is to provide a university-wide forum for Central Washington University (CWU) students, encouraging equity, diversity, and inclusivity, representing all disciplines and experience levels, to present their mentored research, scholarship, and creative works in a juried environment that meets professional conference standards and expectations.
Accomplishing this mission will foster best-practice-teaching and mentoring, promote the significance and relevance of research, scholarship and creative works, engage a range of CWU stakeholders in distinguishing aspects of CWU’s educational environment, and enhance the professional skills of students.
Connect with us thru Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram (@CWUSource) to learn more about our student researchers and other OUR opportunities. And use #CWUSOURCE2021 when sharing your SOURCE ideas and pictures so others can see what SOURCE is all about. #CWUTogether
