Support of Undergraduate Research and Creative Endeavors (SOURCE) hosts Intersections, a poster session where undergraduate students present their research and creative projects. The event, held each semester, is an opportunity for the Case Western Reserve community to learn about the array of academic work being done by students across campus. At the fall semester Intersections on Dec. 6, 2019, 10 student projects earned awards.
