Jordan Hall OFFICE of the PRESIDENT 4600 Sunset Avenue | Indianapolis, Indiana 46208 | 317-940-9900 | Fax: 317-940-9504 | www.butler.edu Welcome to Butler University’s Annual Undergraduate Research Conference, and congratulations on the outstanding work that has brought you here today. This marks the 29th year of the Butler URC, one of the largest and longest-running interdisciplinary undergraduate research conferences in the nation. More than 700 students representing 58 institutions in 12 states will share their presentations today. Over 300 Butler student researchers are participating, and I am pleased that they have this opportunity to interact with so many talented peers. This year’s URC theme, “Civic Engagement: Agency and Advocacy for Empowering Communities” is more important than ever. Although not every presentation focuses on this theme, when students and faculty join together to advance learning in their respective fields, the common thread among their aspirations is a desire to improve our world. And a key part of the Butler mission—and the mission of so many like-minded institutions of higher education—is civic engagement. For example, every Butler undergraduate is required to participate in community service through our Center for Citizenship and Community. Some of the many Butler initiatives aimed at empowering our local community include a partnership with Indianapolis Public Schools; a weekend pharmacy in a low-income neighborhood; free or low-cost music and arts lessons for children; and a campus farm that is used to teach about local food production, ecology, and sustainability. I would like to extend 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, along with the many others on Butler’s campus who have worked hard to make this conference so enriching for its participants and the disciplines they represent. I am also delighted to welcome to our campus Stephen Hunt, Interim Executive Director of the School of Communication at Illinois State University, who will deliver our keynote address today. Best of luck with your presentations, and please remember to support your conference colleagues by attending as many other presentations as you can. I hope URC 2017 inspires you to continue exploring knowledge and sharing it with a world eager for your insights and solutions. Sincerely, James M. Danko, President Butler University ONLINE PROGRAM OPTIONS WEEKEND PROGRAM OPTIONS > Aviation Management > Biotechnology Innovation & Regulatory Science > Biometrics > Leadership > Executive Construction Management > IT Project Management > IT Business Analysis GRADUATE CERTIFICATE OPTION > Biotechnology Quality & Regulatory Compliance Purdue Polytechnic’s Center for Professional Studies A PURDU E M ASTER’ S THA T MOVE S YOU FORWARD polytechnic.purdue.edu/prostar [email protected] 877-801-6266 CENTER for HIGH ACHIEVEMENT and SCHOLARLY ENGAGEMENT 4600 Sunset Avenue | Indianapolis, Indiana 46208 | 317-940-9723 | www.butler.edu/chase As Butler University’s Director of Undergraduate Research and Prestigious Scholarships, it is my sincere privilege to welcome you to our 29th Undergraduate Research Conference (URC). As a rhetorician, the theme of this year’s URC, “Civic Engagement: Agency and Advocacy for Empowering Communities,” holds special significance for me. I chose to study communication because of our power to use language to create and deflect particular types of reality; I chose to become a professor because of my desire to help create engaged citizens who would utilize rhetorical techniques in responsible, meaningful, and ethical ways. Essentially, I was hoping to tap into Quintilian’s definition of a rhetorician: A good [person] speaking well. No matter how you feel about the outcome of the 2016 presidential election, the general population is now coming to understand how discourse can be used to call into being alternate realities. Since it is now commonplace for individuals to assert claims without evidence, undergraduate scholarship is more important than ever: For it is my hope that the skills our presenters developed during the completion of their projects—the abilities to think creatively and critically, solve problems, and communicate effectively—can be transferred to one’s everyday life and manifest itself as civic virtue. This year I introduced a Competitive Paper division and was pleased to receive 21 submissions in this category from students representing five different universities. I am especially proud of our Top Four Competitive Paper authors as I had the pleasure of observing their projects begin as a kernel of an idea in my HN 300: Gender as Performance course and evolve into extraordinary term projects. As you attend today’s conference, I invite you to embody our theme and recognize the important role you play in serving as agents and advocates on your campuses and in your communities. Be sure to ask questions of the presenters—during the Question and Answer sessions, poster presentations, discussions in the hallways, or lunch. If you’re a presenter, seek out students engaging in the same type of research you conduct—discuss the challenges and rewards that you’ve encountered and perhaps learn an alternative approach you might use in the future. This conference would not be as successful as it is 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 sincere appreciation to Melissa Friedman, URC Coordinator, and Andrea Scarlett, Assistant Director of the Office 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.

Peeler Art Center at DePauw University FOREWORD Robert G. Bottoms ESSAY Mitchell B. Merback INTERVIEW Stephen Fox EDITOR Kaytie Johnson 1 © 2002, DePauw University Richard E. Peeler Art Center P.O. Box 37 Greencastle, Indiana 46135-0037 www.depauw.edu 2 Foreword The Richard Earl Peeler Art Center Dedicated October 11, 2002 he Richard Earl Peeler Art Center is a first for DePauw University. One hundred and twenty-five years ago, this institution (then known as Indiana Asbury University) engaged Elizabeth Adelaide Clark to offer instruction in the elements of drawing, in crayon, water T color and oil painting. After a century and more of teaching by distinguished scholars and creative artists, DePauw now has its first building specifically designed for this academic sphere. Gone are the days of adapted buildings, of advanced students doing their studio work in neighborhood houses, and faculty members having to rent or build their own studios. One of the most modern facilities ever created for the teaching and study of art, the Peeler Center offers adequate spaces for introductory classes, advanced student projects and faculty studios. The magnificence of the Peeler Art Center is due, in large part, to the careful design and development led by architect Carlos Jiménez. A faculty member at Rice University, Jiménez carefully considered the programmatic needs and wishful thinking of the faculty members of the Art Department.

  • Butler University GPI 2015/2016 Scorecard: Butler University
    Gallup-Purdue Index Great Jobs and Great Lives Butler University GPI 2015/2016 Scorecard: Butler University Great Jobs. Great Lives. Great Experiences. Great Jobs: Workplace Engagement Workplace engagement means employees are intellectually and emotionally connected with their organizations and workgroups because they are able to do what they’re best at, they like what they do and they have someone who cares about their development at work. People who are engaged at work are more involved in and enthusiastic about their work. Given the importance of establishing a course for students to pursue fulfilling and enriching careers, higher education institutions must examine these outcomes critically. Gallup’s research also demonstrates that workplace engagement is an important driver of overall well-being, reinforcing the significance of these findings. Great Lives: Well-Being Well-being is not only about being happy or wealthy. It is about the interaction and interdependency between many aspects of life such as finding fulfillment in daily work and interactions, having strong social relationships and access to the resources people need, feeling financially secure, being physically healthy and taking part in a true community. Gallup and Healthways developed the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being 5 View to measure these important aspects. Great Experiences: Alumni Attachment The Gallup-Purdue Index uncovers which college experiences and perceptions are related to greater gains in the workplace and in well-being. It measures graduates’ current emotional attachment to their alma mater by adapting Gallup’s research on customer engagement to assess graduates’ perceptions of their colleges — retrospectively, with regard to their undergraduate experiences, as well as their views as current alumni.
