APRIL 23-24, 2019 The 25th Annual Undergraduate Research Forum
Student as Scholar
MIAMIOH.EDU 1 To the Miami community
Welcome to the 2019 Undergraduate Research Forum! For 25 years, our faculty and students have used research to extend our classroom education into laboratories, field work, and our surrounding community. By marshalling inquiry and creativity into a powerful learning tool, we elevate the Miami undergraduate experience. This year’s milestone forum signals our future, empowering a culture of discovery and innovation that will benefit our entire community. We join you in celebrating more than 300 projects being presented today by more than 500 undergraduate researchers.
By analyzing data, designing studies to advance scholarship, and presenting results, Miami students are creating knowledge and showcasing the entrepreneurial spirit that will prepare them for success in today’s global and interconnected world.
A special thanks to faculty mentors; they are true teacher-scholars who design the undergraduate experience that has differentiated Miami University for generations. Beyond the research presented in today’s forum, about 2,000 Miami students worked with professors on funded research this year.
For a quarter-century, this Undergraduate Research Forum has celebrated independent inquiry by Miami students. We believe in the power of scholarly research to enhance the student experience and change the world. We join with all of you in congratulating all of the students and faculty included in today’s event.
Love and Honor,
Greg and Renate Crawford
Gregory P. Crawford Ph.D. President

From participation on the committee that initiated the First Year Research Experience program, to serving as faculty mentor on student research projects, to teaching in FYRE coursework, librarians are active proponents of student research. Our subject specialist librarians are often the first point of contact for students looking for help with locating and accessing literature on their research topics. Specialists can assist students with learning to use the literature databases important for their topics, and identifying other potential sources of information. They will also help connect students to other library staff and services as appropriate for their projects. Our Special Collections and Archives unit has a

48 MIAMIOH.EDU THE 25TH UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH FORUM – CHARTING NEW TERRITORY
The Undergraduate Research Forum has achieved a significant milestone- 25 years of showcasing scholarly and creative works, conducted by our students, under the guidance of dedicated mentors [faculty, staff & graduate students]. The Office of Research for Undergraduates [ORU], established in 2014 is celebrating this milestone with a 2-day event, which is aligned with our mission to-
• Showcase research, experiential learning, and creative works across colleges;
• Promote synergistic & interdisciplinary pursuits;
• Recognize the role of research centers and research support entities across campus; and
• Raise early awareness of pathways for research, scholarly works, and creative endeavors.
Several new program features have been introduced for this 2-day celebration. While previously, the emphasis has been on undergraduate presenters, this year, the newly introduced features are intended to prominently showcase the wide variety of resources that make undergraduate research at Miami, the successful enterprise that it is. Twelve themed panel discussions have been planned [Tuesday, April 23rd] to raise awareness of the breadth of undergraduate research across disciplines and colleges. Mentors have stepped up to serve as moderators for themed panel discussions and provide a synthesis of the presentations; and Graduate-Undergraduate student teams and Faculty-Undergraduate teams are serving as presenters. We are grateful to [20 plus] centers and research support entities across campus who responded to our call for highlighting their roles as resources for undergraduate research. They are featured on Tuesday, April 23rd from 1-4 p.m.
[Wednesday, April 24th], we celebrate the Undergraduate Research Forum’s staple, the poster sessions and oral presentations have some new components as well. The first poster session [9:30–11 a.m.] will be attended by a group of high school students from Cincinnati Public Schools, a collaboration with the Office of Admissions, whose staff recognizes their critical role in publicizing undergraduate research at Miami, for the purposes of recruitment. Recognizing that poster printing costs can be a barrier for students to participate in the forum, two new formats have been introduced this year: e-Posters presented as 10 minute talks, and storyboarding, the old-fashioned approach, which allows for quite a bit of creativity. If you happen to encounter Miami Alumns taking in the festivities, its thanks to the Alumni Office for spreading the word about the 25th Undergraduate Research Forum.
We hope that you will enjoy this 2-day event to celebrate Undergraduate Research at Miami, and we invite the university community to provide us with feedback about the utility of the new formats, as well as to suggest your ideas for raising the profile of undergraduate research at Miami University.email us: [email protected]
