Undergraduate Showcase for undergraduate research, Research engagement, scholarship, and creative Conference presentations

April 12–27, 2013

“Having the opportunity to share my academic and professional achievements with my parents was fantastic. I hope it gave them something to show for their investment in my future!”

“I will use many of the skills I learned in class— in the future and throughout my c are e r.”

“The undergraduate research experience is one of the main reasons I chose to attend UNH. I gained real-life experience that you just cannot get in a classroom alone.” URC 2013

A welcome to participants and attendees

elcome to the 14th annual celebration of research and discovery at the University of New Hampshire. The Undergraduate Research Conference (URC) highlights the outstanding research, scholarship, Wand creative activities of our students and their faculty mentors. We take pride in—and learn from—their accomplishments.

What began as a University-wide effort in the spring of 2000 has blossomed into an annual tradition that puts UNH students in the spotlight. Our conference is one of the largest and most diverse in the nation, and this year marks another Mark W. Huddleston record in participation. More than 1,300 students will present their findings at both the Durham and Manchester campuses, and represent academic achievements in every college and school.

This extraordinary learning experience helps students build the knowledge, skills, and confidence to pursue graduate studies and meaningful careers. The URC is a shining example of our students’ success and discovery-based education at UNH.

Whether your visit includes a poster session, a formal presentation, an art exhibit, or a creative demonstration, we are confident that you will be impressed with the John D. Aber participants’ knowledge and understanding. Thank you for your interest in, and support of, our remarkable students.

Sincerely,

Mark W. Huddleston, President

John D. Aber, Provost

2013 UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH CONFERENCE • 1 Inquiry, Discovery, and Engagement: The UNH Undergraduate Research Conference

elcome to our springtime celebration of academic success and achievement at the University of New Hampshire. We take special pride in the efforts of our students and in the dedication of the facultyW who mentor and guide them. A hallmark of a UNH education is the opportunity to engage in hands-on research with faculty scholars.

This year, more than 1,300 UNH students mentored by more than 325 UNH faculty members will present their research and scholarship. Presentations will represent many disciplines as well as multidisciplinary learning communities Julie E. Williams where empirical research, engaged scholarship, and creative scholarship result.

Our undergraduate students also have this unique opportunity to gain essential skills to help them pursue graduate study, learn how to collaborate across disciplines, pursue meaningful careers, and make a difference in the world. Faculty members enjoy mentoring students, and report that working with students strengthens their teaching and research.

One of our goals at UNH is to provide a unique opportunity for undergraduate students to inquire, learn, discover, and engage. For many, the URC is their first opportunity to showcase their work to a much broader audience. They share the results of their scholarship with fellow students, faculty, staff, family members, Lynne D. Cooper federal and state agency personnel, business and industry representatives, and members of our local community. This faculty-student partnership and the varied audiences to whom they present are vital to enriching and bringing new learning to life, which often leads to new areas of inquiry.

Please join us in thanking each student presenter and every faculty mentor who is making this great event possible. We encourage you to read the posters, listen to the presentations, and ask questions of our students. We are confident you will be impressed with what you learn and we look forward to your active engagement with the University of New Hampshire!

“The URC helped me build my teamwork skills as well as my presentation skills.”

“The URC is an experience you don’t get in a classroom. It separates you from other candidates when applying for jobs, and really helps develop your public speaking skills.”

“My faculty mentor has opened up many doors for me and has been invaluable to my personal and professional growth.”
