Social Science Division students and faculty participated in a record number of collaborative research projects in 2008-09. One indication of this engagement can be found in the large number of projects displayed at the annual Celebration of Undergraduate Research and Creative Performance. There were 86 Social Science Division students engaged with 25 faculty on 46 projects at this year's celebration. This represents a six-fold increase in student research engagement since the inception of the celebration in 2001. Students and faculty from every department in the Social Science Division were represented. Research project examples include "Comparison of Efficacy between Traditional and Video Game Based Balance Programs," "The Impact of Global Exposure on Personal Uncertainty," "The Role and Potential Bias of Lab Experiments in Economics," "Learning to Teach in a Time of Reform: How One Teacher Candidate Found His Way," "From Notion to Nation: Complications and Implications of a New Southern Sudan," "Changing Perceptions of Racism: Do The Emotions on Pride, Guilt, and Sympathy Affect Privileged Groups’ Perceptions of Discrimination?" and "Perceptions of Independence among College Students and Their Helicopter Parents."
