"Education destination" is the theme of v.15. The articles featured in this journal represent the work of Program participants from the 2009 – 2010 – grant year. As one reads through these articles, it is clear that the breadth of research interests is as diverse as the students served, and the quality is outstanding as well. The works of twelve students are from the campus of Wichita State University. Ten of these students are McNair Scholars and two students conducted research through the National Science Foundation (NSF) EPSCoR Summer Research Program. There are two full manuscripts and ten summaries presented.
