Curci, Michelle. Jones, Hannah R. Weimerskirch, Wendy. Forman, Pamela J. Pattee, Deborah K. Ethnography allows undergraduate researchers to observe 5th grade girls in a setting where they are not seen as authority figures. By positioning themselves as "buddies," the girls see their researchers as friends and mentors. In this dual role as researcher/buddy, these undergraduates enrich our understanding of adolescent females as they mentor these girls.

The goal of this project was to create a stereographical projection system capable of producing an optimally-focused image. To accomplish this, it was necessary to consider the two optical systems which the projection system involves: that of the virtual cameras receiving data from the virtual scene and that of the viewers' eyes receiving light from the projection screen.

Clark, Sara K. Filtz, Katie R. Puhl, Lauren E. Edwards, Kayla M. Hammon, Sarah A. Novinska, Noah L. Stone, Ryan W. Smith, Travis S. Tischman, Corey D. Dunbar, A. R. Hertig, Robyn D. Raber, Victoria L. Jewett, David C. Rats were trained to discriminate between 2 and 22 hours of food restriction by choosing between two levers. Upon acquiring the discrimination task, the rats were repeatedly tested across sessions. Two different tests were conducted. Ther first assessed to what extent food consumption alters effects of different deprivation durations. The second test compared the effects of consuming different diets on stimuli associated with 22 hur food deprivation. Color poster with text and graphs describing research conducted by Sara K.
