Welcome to the 21st edition of the annual<br />

Whitman Undergraduate Conference. In<br />

the span of two decades, more than 3,000<br />

students have shared their scholarship and<br />

creativity in this all-day, student-led event, a signature<br />

<strong>program</strong> of the college.<br />

Over the course of 20 conferences, panel themes have<br />

ranged from “Race and Representation” to “Art Theory<br />

and Critique” to “Disease and Cure.” Poster sessions<br />

that capture student research in the natural and social<br />

sciences are a key component of each conference. This<br />

year, a record 69 students are presenting posters in<br />

Cordiner Hall.<br />

The Undergraduate Conference is devoted entirely<br />

to student achievement. Participants represent<br />

every academic nook and cranny of the college. The<br />

projects in this <strong>program</strong> attest to the original work that<br />

Whitman students produce in their courses of study,<br />

senior theses, internships, fellowships, grants and<br />

study abroad.
