2007 Assembly Joint Resolution 100
ENROLLED JOINT RESOLUTION
Relating to: commending students, faculty, and staff of the University of Wisconsin System campuses on Undergraduate Research Day.
Whereas, the University of Wisconsin (UW) System is one of the nation's foremost public university systems, with 26 campuses, a statewide UW-Extension, and more than 170,000 students and 30,000 employees; and
Whereas, a critical component of the "Wisconsin Idea" philosophy that guides UW System campuses is a pursuit of research to develop new knowledge, to improve the quality of life, and to apply these findings to advance Wisconsin's and the nation's economy; and
Whereas, UW undergraduates, under faculty guidance at every institution, annually expand the breadth of their contribution to this intellectual productivity that is critical to Wisconsin's future; and
Whereas, in recognition of the value of this intellectual productivity, over 80 undergraduate research projects, reflective of a host of academic disciplines, will be displayed in the rotunda of Wisconsin's state capitol on Wednesday, March 5, during "Posters in the Rotunda: A Celebration of Undergraduate Research"; and
Whereas, each UW System campus conducts an undergraduate research, scholarly, and creative activity day with UW-River Falls hosting a System-wide undergraduate research symposium on April 25; and
Whereas, the posters illustrate the remarkable contributions made by our undergraduate students to address issues of critical concern to Wisconsin and to our nation; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the assembly, the senate concurring, That the Wisconsin legislature commends the students, faculty, and staff of the University of Wisconsin System campuses for their undergraduate research on Undergraduate Research Day, March 5, 2008.
