The Fort Lewis College School of Arts and Sciences held its annual Undergraduate Research & Creative Activities Symposium on Thursday, April 23, 2015. Student participants were selected by their departments to represent the best undergraduate research and performances done at Fort Lewis College this year. Each department (Anthropology, Art & Design, Biology, Chemistry, Exercise Science, Environmental Studies, Gender & Women's Studies, Geosciences, History, Mathematics, Philosophy, Physics and Engineering, Psychology, Sociology, and Theatre) selects two students to give talks, and up to five groups of students to present posters or performances. Many of these students have also presented at professional conferences in their disciplines.

Joe's major is Biology - Cellular & Molecular Biology option and Chemistry - Biochemistry option.
