Student Scholarly Activity Fair 2007

The Fourteenth Annual Student Research and Scholarly Activity Fair was held April 11, 2007, in the newly remodeled Memorial Student Union Ballroom on the Southwestern Oklahoma State University campus in Weatherford, Oklahoma.  The event was sponsored by the University Research and Scholarly Activity Committee and the SWOSU Office of Sponsored Programs.

The student fair was designed to give students the opportunity to present their research and other scholarly activities in poster or podium presentation format. The students had the opportunity to discuss their research and scholarly activities with other participants, university personnel, and community visitors.  This year 115 students sponsored by 20 faculty members participated in the fair presenting a total of 63 poster presentations and one oral presentation.  Many of the 64 presentations have been or will be presented at various organizational events at the state, regional, and national levels.

The presentations were represented by students from the following disciplines: School of Allied Health, Department of Art, Athletic Training Education Program, Department of Biological Sciences, Department of Chemistry and Physics, Department of Entrepreneurship and Computer Systems, Department of Industrial and Engineering Technology, Department of Music, Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Department of Psychology, and Department of Social Sciences.

Jeong, Jason Johnson, William Kelly, Sophia Lee, Warren Moseley, Steven O’Neal, Les Ramos, Jeff Short, Muatasem Ubeidat, and Jessica Young.
