This would cause a smaller number of projects to be funded frcm our office,” said Zingraff. Ztngraff also said that both faculty and students participating in this simi* mer’s program were over whelmingly positive about the experience. “The faculty enjoyed the excitement of woricing with smart and dedicated students, and the students have told me that they enjoyed discovering how much potential they have,” she said. Janet Nelson, a professor in the biology department said her research assistant, Erika Snitzer, “gathered a tremen dous amount of background literature” that will aid her in writing her paper, “Mental Illness is Missing* and Why this Matters to Bioethics” for the annual conference of the Society of Christian Ethics in January.

I think I'd miss the tab too much if I didn’t.” 2002 Summer Research Projects Lori Amtorson, an English ma|or with secomtary Hcensitf«, worked with Dr. Garry Walton.
