DR. WILLIAM J. MCKINNEY
A nationally recognized teacher, scholar, and academic leader, Dr. William J. McKinney currently serves as Senior Advisor for Regional Campus Affairs at Indiana University. Prior to joining IU, Dr. McKinney served as the ninth president of Valdosta State University (2012-2015), Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne (2008-2012), founding Dean of the College of Humanities, Fine, and Performing Arts at Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania (2001-2008), Professor and Chairperson of Philosophy and Religion at Southeast Missouri State University (1997-2001), Assistant and Associate Professor of Philosophy at Southeast Missouri State University (1993-1998), and Visiting Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Kentucky (1992-1993). For more than 25 years, Dr. McKinney has been committed to the civic learning, democratic engagement, and the value of a liberal education. Much of his current work is informed by his belief that higher education institutions exist to preserve and proliferate democratic values and economic opportunities and that, consequently, they are also responsible for imparting those intellectual skills required to protect those values and provide those opportunities. As a result, Dr. McKinney served from 2015-2017 as Senior Fellow for Diversity, Equity, and Student Success at the Association of American Colleges and Universities. He currently serves as chair of the American Association of State Colleges and University’s American Democracy Project (ADP) national steering committee. The ADP is a non-partisan network of more than 250 public colleges and universities focused on public higher education’s role in preparing the next generation of engaged citizens. Its members seek to provide its graduates with the knowledge, skills, dispositions, and experiences they need to be informed, engaged members of their communities. Dr. McKinney is a native of Pittsburgh, PA. He received his PhD in Philosophy of Science in 1992 and his MA in the History and Philosophy of Science in 1989 from IU-Bloomington. He received his BS in Chemical Engineering and his BA in History from Bucknell University in 1986. He has published or presented well over 100 papers, book chapters or reviews in such diverse topics as the philosophical nature of scientific experiments, environmental ethics, liberal education, and civic engagement. He is currently co-editing a special issue of the Journal of General Education on “The Public Purpose of General Education and Civic Engagement.” Share your experience using #ButlerURC

Welcome to Butler University’s Annual Undergraduate Research Conference (URC). As we commemorate the 31st anniversary of the conference, we are honored to recognize your exceptional research and scholarship.
From its beginnings, the Butler URC has been promoting excellence and encouraging undergraduate students to become involved in research. It has grown to become one of the largest interdisciplinary conferences in the country, and this year’s presenters represent 247 students from 68 institutions and 23 states as well as Canada and Jordan. I am pleased that 264 Butler students will be participating and have the opportunity to learn alongside their talented peers.
As we celebrate 31 years of the URC, I want to express gratitude to Professor Emeritus Jim Berry whose vision set the URC in motion, and I am delighted to welcome to campus Dr. Bill McKinney to deliver this year’s keynote address. Dr. McKinney is the Senior Advisor for Regional Campus Affairs at Indiana University and a nationally recognized teacher, scholar, and academic leader. He earned his Ph.D. in Philosophy of Science from IU and currently serves as chair of the American Association of State Colleges and University's American Democracy Project national steering committee. Throughout his career, Dr. McKinney has been committed to civic learning and the role of higher education in preserving democratic values.
I would like to extend a special thanks to Conference Director Dacia Charlesworth and Conference Coordinator Melissa Friedman, both of whom represent Butler’s Center for High Achievement and Scholarly Engagement, and the many others on Butler’s campus who have worked to make this conference an enriching opportunity for networking and learning.
Best of luck to you as you present today. Please remember to support your colleagues by attending as many sessions as you can. I trust URC 2019 inspires you to continue to pursue knowledge and share in the exchange of ideas as you seek to offer the world discoveries and solutions.
Sincerely,
James M. Danko, President Butler University CENTER for HIGH ACHIEVEMENT and SCHOLARLY ENGAGEMENT

As Butler University’s Director of Undergraduate Research and Prestigious Scholarships, it is my sincere privilege to welcome you to our 31st Undergraduate Research Conference (URC).
Last year, as I was busy reviewing past URC conference programs and correspondence to celebrate our 30th anniversary, I didn’t have the opportunity to fully process the significance of the URC —one of the largest and longest-running undergraduate research conferences in the nation. As I began gearing up for this year’s conference, I took some time to reflect on the importance of the URC for both Butler University and the thousands of students who have presented at this conference. As is so often the case, my reflections reminded me of those I have encountered in the past and who shaped me in some way. In this case, two phrases continually uttered by two of my former department chairpersons kept coming to mind: “Students First!” and “Onward and Upward!”
The first time I heard one of my former department chairpersons say “Students First!” I was baffled. When the phrase showed up on his e-mail signature line, I rolled my eyes. After all, faculty always already knew that students are first, right? Otherwise, what’s the point of higher education? As our department began to engage in challenging and sometimes tedious work (e.g., outcomes assessment and curriculum revision), I found myself continually responding to colleague’s comments or questions by simply stating “Students First!” and was pleased when that phrase became our touchstone as we grappled with difficult departmental issues. While I have always placed students’ needs at the center of my academic life, I have found it helpful to have a two-word guiding principle for the past 13 years. It is in that same vein that I selected this year’s keynote speaker, for I have witnessed firsthand all that Dr. Bill McKinney has done to foster student excellence. I am excited that he will be able to share his undergraduate research experience with students attending the URC as well as describe the steps he has taken as an administrator to ensure that students are always first.
Another former department chairperson was fond of ending every conversation by stating “Onward and Upward!” What I have come to enjoy most about this phrase is the observation that the inevitable will happen (i.e., we must all move forward), but that we should make the choice to move forward in a positive manner. This phase has also come to typify the URC for me: This year, we received over 470 submissions from 23 states as well as Saudi Arabia and Canada, we added Peace Studies as a new discipline, and received a record- setting 36 Competitive Paper submissions from students representing 12 colleges and universities.
As is always the case with any event comprised of so many moving parts, this conference could not occur without assistance from Butler University staff, faculty, and students—please be sure to thank any individuals you might know who volunteered to assist us today. In terms of creating and organizing this conference, I must extend my appreciation to Melissa Friedman, URC Coordinator, and Danielle Burris, Assistant Director of University Events, for their creative insights and logistical skills. Finally, I recognize my extraordinarily supportive spouse, Bill McKinney, for his understanding and tolerance of all the late-night and weekend hours devoted to the URC.
Please introduce yourself to me today and let me know about your URC experience via #ButlerURC on Twitter. I thank you for attending the URC and hope to welcome you to our campus again next year—Onward and Upward!
All the best,
Dacia Charlesworth, PhD Director, Undergraduate Research Conference
