It also highlights our institution’s ongoing dedication to engaged learning as an important part of academic life to broaden and strengthen the learning experience of our students. By integrating research into our programs, Buffalo State students discover an exciting way to gain knowledge in their field of study while also developing important skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, creativity, and effective communication. It’s inspiring to know so many of our students are pursuing this type of scholarly activity. The benefits from these first-hand experiences serve our students well in their academic and professional lives. We are proud to mark the 15th year of Student Research and Creativity Celebration and to feature the high quality work of our students accomplished under the guidance of their outstanding faculty mentors. Congratulations to all Buffalo State student participants, and thank you for sharing the knowledge and insights you have gained through your research endeavors. Aaron Podolefsky, Ph.D. President This is a milestone year for Buffalo State’s Student Research and Creativity Celebration. For fifteen years, we gather each spring to acknowledge the wonderful intellectual, artistic, and creative accomplishments of our undergraduate and graduate students. For fifteen years, the program and celebratory event demonstrates Buffalo State’s commitment to the rigors, joy, and fulfillment of intellectual discovery. For fifteen years, the dedication of Buffalo State students, faculty, and staff to the program has transformed lives of all involved. The Student Research Program at Buffalo State is a shining example of incorporating high-impact and deep learning practices in student’s educational experiences. The design and delivery of such experiences requires thoughtful planning, supervision, and mentoring by faculty. The student is likewise obligated to dedicate attention and meaningful time on task to the experience. With the 15th Student Research and Creativity Celebration, we acknowledge and applaud all who make this possible– students, faculty, Research Foundation, and all others involved with the event. Dr. Jill Singer continues to provide leadership to advance Buffalo State’s programming and national prominence in undergraduate research. I express appreciation to Dr. Singer on behalf of the Buffalo State community. Dennis Ponton, Ph.D. Provost Welcome! Welcome to the Student Research and Creativity Celebration! This weekend marks the 15th anniversary of the Student Research and Creativity Celebration. Reaching this milestone provides me the opportunity to reflect on an event that has become an institutional tradition. The level of support and enthusiasm for this celebration of research, scholarship, and creativity grows stronger each year. I gratefully acknowledge the enthusiastic commitment to this event by the Buffalo State administration. I deeply appreciate the efforts of all the individuals and offices that help make this event successful. The quality and breadth of the presentations, displays of works of art, and performances confirms the excellence of the mentoring provided to Buffalo State students by dedicated faculty. As well, it speaks to myriad opportunities afforded to them and their strong desire to create new knowledge and works of art. Since the program’s inception we have transitioned from paper applications to electronic submissions and from conventional posters to digital large format posters designed by students with the use of poster templates. Over the past fifteen years, there have been over 3000 abstracts and artists statements authored and co-authored by more than 5000 students. However, it is not the advances in technology or the metrics that best define the impact of this program. It is best captured by a remark made by a student more than ten years ago. The student made a point of seeking me out to tell me how she had just spent the day listening to talks, viewing artwork, and talking to students presenting posters. She ended her account by saying that she had no idea how talented her classmates were and how proud she was to be graduating from Buffalo State. I agreed with her then and am even more convinced of her words today. It has been a very rewarding fifteen years and I have derived great satisfaction from developing and running a program that has been embraced by the campus community. The inclusion of students across all academic disciplines places Buffalo State among those institutions that value the teacher-scholar model and consider undergraduate research as a transformative and high impact educational practice and one of the best ways to engage all students. Buffalo State is proud to contribute its voice in conversations about effective models for integrating undergraduate research into the curriculum and evaluating the impact of undergraduate research. I hope you enjoy listening to and meeting the student presenters. I am certain you will be impressed by the diversity and quality of their presentations. Thank you for attending this event and supporting our student presenters and their faculty mentors. Enjoy the program! Sincerely, Jill Singer, Ph.D. Professor of Earth Sciences Director, Office of Undergraduate

    Regional Oral History Off ice University of California The Bancroft Library Berkeley, California Richard B. Gump COMPOSER, ARTIST, AND PRESIDENT OF GUMP'S, SAN FRANCISCO An Interview Conducted by Suzanne B. Riess in 1987 Copyright @ 1989 by The Regents of the University of California Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West,and the Nation. Oral history is a modern research technique involving an interviewee and an informed interviewer in spontaneous conversation. The taped record is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The resulting manuscript is typed in final form, indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between the University of California and Richard B. Gump dated 7 March 1988. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes. All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to The Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley. No part of the manuscript may be quoted for publication without the written permission of the Director of The Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley.

  • Passing Masculinities at Boy Scout Camp
    PASSING MASCULINITIES AT BOY SCOUT CAMP Patrick Duane Vrooman A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2007 Committee: Joe Austin, Advisor Melissa Miller Graduate Faculty Representative Ellen Berry Jay Mechling ii ABSTRACT Joe Austin, Advisor This study examines the folklore produced by the Boy Scout summer camp staff members at Camp Lakota during the summers of 2002 and 2003, including songs, skits, and stories performed both in front of campers as well as “behind the scenes.” I argue that this particular subgroup within the Boy Scouts of America orders and passes on a particular constellation of masculinities to the younger Scouts through folklore while the staff are simultaneously attempting to pass as masculine themselves. The complexities of this situation—trying to pass on what one has not fully acquired, and thus must only pass as—result in an ordering of masculinities which includes performances of what I call taking a pass on received masculinities. The way that summer camp staff members cope with their precarious situation is by becoming tradition creators and bearers, that is, by acquiescing to their position in the hegemonizing process. It is my contention that hegemonic hetero-patriarchal masculinity is maintained by partially ordered subjects who engage in rather complex passings with various masculinities. iii Dedicated to the memory of my Grandpa, H. Stanley Vrooman For getting our family into the Scouting movement, and For recognizing that I “must be pretty damn stupid, having to go to school all those years.” iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I never knew how many people it would take to write a book! I always thought that writing was a solitary act.
