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.

What is NCUR®?
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 multitalented 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 Gow
Chancellor, UW-La Crosse
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.

explore the place for ambitions of all sizes.
“Conducting research is very fulfilling in
and out of itself, but research takes
money. I think there are a lot of
possible opportunities at UT Arlington
- opportunities for graduate students
that include funds for travel to conduct
research and present at conferences.”
-Lori McLain Pierce
Linguistics Doctoral Candidate and Jess Hay
Chancellor’s Graduate Student Research
Fellowship recipient. This prestigious UT
System fellowship will support and advance
Lori's dissertation research on protecting
the Choctaw Language.
The University of Texas at Arlington is:
An educational leader in the center of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
The 2nd largest institution in the UT System and home to nearly 34,000
students.
A Research/High Activity University that has been designated as an
emerging research institution in Texas.

Conference Proceedings/Things to See and Do in La Crosse | 23
Conference Proceedings
One 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.

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.
Preparing for Graduate
School — Eight Quick
Steps to Start the
Application Process
Thursday, April 11
12-1 p.m.
Friday, April 12
11:30-12:30 p.m.
Are you a critical thinker, an innovator, a discoverer? Then
science may be the career for you. Our goal is to inform
students about the career opportunities available in the
biomedical sciences for those who earn a Ph.D. We will cover
the following elements: Who are biomedical scientists? What
makes a scientist? Is this the right career path for me? How can
I find out? What kinds of education and training are necessary
to pursue this career path? How does one earn a Ph.D.? What is
graduate training all about? Where can a Ph.D. take me? What
types of jobs are available in science and what are the future
careers for people with Ph.D.’s? At the end of the session, you
will have a clearer understanding of why Ph.D. training may be
right for your career goals.
• 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.

Dr. Hazel A. Barton - Cave Microbiologist
Bill Miller – Singer/Songwriter
Category: Science
Category: Arts
Dr. Hazel A. Barton(www.cavescience.com) is an Associate
Professor of Biology, and Geology and Environmental Science,
in the Department of Biology
at the University of Akron. Her
current research is geared
toward understanding microbial
processes, interactions,
and geochemistry in cave
environments. Funding from the
U.S. National Science Foundation
(NSF) aims to understand
bacterial adaptations to the
extreme nutrient limitation of
cave environments, including
nutrient cycling and microbemineral interactions; funding from the US Fish and Wildlife Service
is geared toward understanding the natural history and ecology
of Geomyces destructans, the causative agent of White-Nose
Syndrome in bats; and funding from the National Park Service
is geared to understand microbial adaptations in the extreme
nutrient limitations of subterranean lakes. Dr. Barton is also an avid
caver, having explored caves on five continents, is a past director
of the National Speleological Society (NSS), the Quintana Roo
Speleological Survey, and an award winning cave cartographer.
Her cave research has been featured in Sports Illustrated, Forbes,
National Geographic Explorer, Outside, Science News, and The
Scientist magazines, on NPR and BBC Radio, on Animal Planet,
the History Channel, the CBS Early Show and in the IMAX movie
Journey into Amazing Caves. She is currently a Fellow of the NSS
and the recipient of an NSF CAREER Award.
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.
