Five East Tennessee State University undergraduate students recently presented their research findings to state legislators in Nashville as part of “Posters at the State Capitol Day.” Afterward, they met with Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen.

The students and the titles of their research are:

· Quinton Carroll, “The Lived Experiences of RNs Working While in Pain”

· Fran Chumney, “Privilege Awareness, Prejudice, and Stereotyping of Ethnic Subcategories”

· Kaitlin Dodi, “The Effects of Diabetes on Cholinergic Nerve Fiber Density in Mouse Hearts”

· Paul Giblock, “Panel Display: A Hardware/Software Case Study”

· Mike Phillips, “Modeling Self-Organization in Social Wasps”

The undergraduate research program is administered by the new ETSU Honors College, but funding is not restricted to students in honors programs. Grants provide support for projects and for travel to professional meetings.
