#see bluewww.uky.edu

With more than 70 national rankings and more than 200 academic programs, the University of Kentucky is a beacon, lighting the path forward in everything from agriculture to athletics.

Nestled in the heart of Kentucky’s Bluegrass Region, UK prepares students for lives of leadership, meaning and purpose by opening the doors of opportunity, led by world-class faculty and researchers who are working every

day to make Kentucky and the world better.

We believe learning takes place where your creative fires are sparked and where your studies match your passions – where you “see blue.” That is the Kentucky Promise. It is as relevant today as it was at our founding in 1865.

We honor that promise by opening the doors to your potential.

NCUR® Information | 5

What is NCUR®?The National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR®), established in 1987, promotes undergraduate research, scholarship and creative activity in all fields of study through an annual conference for students. In 2011, NCUR® formally merged with the Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR). The mission of the Council on Undergraduate Research is to support and promote high-quality undergraduate student-faculty collaborative research and scholarship.

The Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) was founded in 1978 by a group of chemists from private liberal arts colleges who wanted to provide information about research that was being conducted at liberal arts colleges by faculty, often in collaboration with students. Since that time CUR has grown to include all disciplines and all types of institutions. Today, members include nearly 8,700 individuals and over 650 colleges and universities.

CUR believes that faculty members enhance their teaching and contribution to society by remaining active in research and by involving undergraduates in research. CUR’s leadership works with agencies and foundations to enhance research opportunities for faculty and students as well as:

• Supports faculty development through Institutes in Institutionalizing Undergraduate Research, Initiating and Sustaining Undergraduate Research Programs, Proposal Writing, Social Sciences and Humanities, and Beginning a Research Program.

• Publishes books and articles related to creating, managing, and evaluating undergraduate research programs; mentoring undergraduate researchers.

• Assists administrators and faculty members in improving and assessing the research environment at their institutions.

• Provides information on the importance of undergraduate research to state legislatures, private foundations, government agencies, and the U.S. Congress.

CUR welcomes faculty and administrators from all academic institutions, but individual members affiliate with one of 11 divisions: arts & humanities, biology, chemistry, geosciences, health sciences, mathematics and computer science, physics and astronomy, psychology, social sciences, plus a division for Undergraduate Research Program Directors and an At-Large division for administrators and other disciplines.

Unlike meetings of academic professional organizations, the NCUR® gathering of young scholars welcomes presenters from all institutions of higher learning and from all corners of the academic curriculum.

NCUR® creates a unique environment for the celebration and promotion of undergraduate research achievement, provides models of exemplary research and scholarship and helps to improve the state of undergraduate education.

NCUR® 2013 Logo Information Appreciation for the La Crosse Area has been present from the days of our earliest inhabitants. When the giant glaciers of the Ice Age retreated north, they left the La Crosse area virtually untouched.

In the 17th century, European settlers made their way through the rugged limestone formations and the narrow valleys until they reached the edge of the 500-foot bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River Valley. There, Lt. Zebulon Pike, an American soldier and explorer, saw the Winnebago Indians playing a game with sticks that resembled a bishop’s crozier (or la crosse in French). Soon, “Prairie La Crosse” became a major trading post, as commodities, freight, and more settlers arrived in the area. The NCUR® 2013 logo features two bridges that span the Mississippi River, linking La Crosse, Wis. and La Crescent, Minn.

Letter from the Chancellor

It’s my honor to welcome you to the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, your host for the 27th National Conference for Undergraduate Research (NCUR®). We are a vibrant learning community rich with multi-talented students, faculty and staff. Our warm and friendly campus is situated between towering bluffs and the mighty Mississippi River. The natural beauty of the 7 Rivers Region on the Upper Mississippi makes this one of the most scenic areas in the country.

As a leader of a higher educational institution, I understand the importance of research for undergraduates. Over the past 20 years, there has been tremendous growth in undergraduate research at all types of institutions from community colleges to research universities. What once was primarily an activity undertaken by faculty at research institutions has become a tool to revitalize curricula as well as an important pedagogy for teaching and engaging undergraduate students. For this reason, the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse is honored to host NCUR® once again! When we hosted NCUR® in 2009, it proved to be an exceptional event. We are excited to welcome more than 3,000 students, faculty and administrators from around the country to our campus for NCUR® 2013.

This gathering of young scholars welcomes presenters from all institutions of higher learning and from all corners of the academic spectrum. Because of this annual conference, NCUR® creates a unique environment for the celebration and promotion of undergraduate student achievement, provides models of exemplary research and scholarship, and helps to improve the state of undergraduate education. I commend all of you for your hard work and scholarship and thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

Sincerely,

Joe GowChancellor, UW-La Crosse

Spectators to sessions should enter and exit oral and performing arts session rooms between (not during) presentations.

Conference ProceedingsOne benefit of presenting at NCUR® is the opportunity for students to publish their work in the conference Proceedings, produced annually by the University of North Carolina at Asheville and distributed to institutions across the nation. All student presenters at the conference (including students in the performing/visual arts) are invited to submit manuscripts for review by the Proceedings board.

Submitting work to the Proceedings has many advantages, two of which are deemed especially important:

1. The opportunity to receive comments from faculty outside your college or university, thereby enhancing the paper for submission to other sources in your field.

2. The opportunity to list your publication on your resume for graduate and professional school applications.

Friday, April 1211:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.Cartwright Center, Room 339

Presenters: Carl Wainscott (Director, Graduate Admissions) and Craig Pierce (Assistant Dean, Graduate School) Marquette University

The decision of what to study in graduate school and where to attend should actually start with – Why should one attend graduate school? This session will address the issue of whether or not to attend graduate school, what and where to study, and the very practical issues of when to apply for admission and how to make your application as strong as possible. Our presenters will share their insight and experience to help offer clarity to what may be a mysterious or daunting process.

• Make a list of what is important to you in a graduate program (e.g. focus of program, financial assistance provided, number of faculty, research facilities, recreation opportunities, etc.).

• Search the Web or other resources for programs that match these interests.

• For each program, compile a list of any require course work, test scores (erg, GMAT, GRE), GPA requirements, and application deadlines.

• Set a timeline for completing each part of the application process such as writing the statement

of purpose, gathering transcripts, and asking for reference letters.

• Study for and take any required admission tests.• Develop your vitae (resume). Have it reviewed by

a faculty member or adviser.• Contact three potential reference writers. Ask

if they are willing to give you a good, strong, supportive reference.

• Obtain extra copies of official transcripts or arrange to have them sent to the appropriate schools.

30 |Plenary Speakers at the Recreation Eagle Center

College, Northland College, and Franklin Pierce University. As an educator, Steger taught science for three years at the secondary level. He founded a winter school and developed an innovative wilderness program in Ely, Minnesota Steger also established the Global Center for Environmental Education at Hamline University, St. Paul, Minnesota, and the World School for Adventure Learning at University of St. Thomas. With his ability to blend extreme exploration and cutting-edge technology, Steger pioneered online education during his 1995 expedition – reaching more than 20 million students via online daily journals and delivering the first-ever transmission of digital photography from the North Pole. Steger has been invited to testify before the United States Congress and has advised world leaders on the environmental protection of Antarctica.

Bill Miller – Singer/SongwriterCategory: Arts

10 a.m. | Saturday, April 13, 2013

A Mohican Indian from northern Wisconsin, Bill Miller (www.billmillerarts.com)has long been one of the most admired figures in the Native American music arena and beyond. As an award-winning recording artist, performer, songwriter, activist, and painter, he’s been a voice for the voiceless, a link between two great and clashing civilizations. On SPIRIT RAIN, he walks the path of reconciliation in a set of 14 heartfelt songs and evocative instrumentals. Co-produced by Bill and Michael von Muchow, and written or co-written entirely by Bill, SPIRIT RAIN took the singer back to his roots. It was recorded at Actual Sound Studios in La Crosse, Wisconsin, not far from the Stockbridge-Munsee Reservation he called home. Perhaps the album’s most touching track is, “Prayers For The Truth,” which restates all that the Native American community holds sacred, while offering forgiveness to those that nearly annihilated an entire people. “I don’t want anyone to carry around this guilt,” says Bill. “All we need is to be allowed to speak, to mourn, to express anger, then be allowed to forgive our oppressors. That could lead to a deeply powerful spiritual change in the U.S. and the world. It could be a statement about the peacemaking that comes with courage.” Bill Miller is a two time Grammy award winner and also won the Native American Music Awards for Best Songwriter, Song, Folk Artist and Artist of the Year. He has shared the stage with Pearl Jam, Tori Amos, BoDeans, Richie Havens, and Arlo Gunthrie.
