Welcome to the 14 th annual Student Research and Creativity Celebration! Our Celebration draws undergraduate and graduate student presenters from all academic areas of the Buffalo State community and includes creative works conducted during the ‘Year of the Arts’. This year’s program is the largest Celebration to date with over 375 posters, oral papers, and visual and performing arts presentations. The growth in this campus-wide event is confirmation that Buffalo State places a high value on the teacher-scholar model of learning in which faculty engage students through research, scholarly and creative activities integrated directly into courses and independent research experiences. The Student Research and Creativity Celebration calls attention to our students’ discoveries as they explored their disciplines in search of answers to open-ended questions, and as a result of applying novel ways to create works of art. In their own way, each student has helped contribute new knowledge and gained a deeper understanding of the research and discovery process. Some of the activities presented this weekend are ongoing and results are preliminary. Other presenters already have shared their work at national and international professional meetings and conferences. But whether the work is in its earliest stages or near completion, our students are learning about the value and importance of communicating and sharing the knowledge gained or exhibiting a new work of art. And, every student presenter has benefitted from the commitment of a dedicated mentor (or mentors) that provided the right mix of encouragement, feedback, and guidance throughout each step of the research, scholarly, and creative process. Undergraduate research continues to gain momentum on campuses across the country. 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. This year a Buffalo State fine arts student was featured on the cover of the Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) Quarterly and another Buffalo State student was invited to share their research at CUR-sponsored “Posters on the Hill” in Washington, DC. Three Buffalo State students took part in the SUNY Undergraduate Research Showcase in Albany and students in the arts, education, natural and social sciences, and computer science traveled internationally and nationally to present their research findings and display their works of art. In addition, undergraduates conducting research, scholarly, and creative projects are being offered assistantships in excellent graduate programs at universities across the country. Buffalo State student research, scholarly, and creative activities are on the move! The Student Research and Creativity Celebration is the culmination of many months of planning and requires the support and assistance from individuals and offices across the Buffalo State campus. There are 46 Celebration Coordinators that help promote the event at the department and program levels, and a number of faculty that play an important role by serving as moderators for oral sessions and monitors in the poster sessions. Students also play an important role in running the event, from showcasing their scholarly and creative works during the opening reception to helping presenters register and find their way to the correct location for their presentation. I gratefully acknowledge all these individual efforts and enthusiasm shared by the campus for this annual celebration. 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 our Celebration of our students’ achievements 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 Research Welcome! 1
2 The heart and soul of graduate education, research and creativity also foster all we do here at Buffalo State. Our Research and Creativity Celebration showcases some of the best efforts of the type of work that occurs all the time on our campus, and the Graduate School is proud to support this work. I warmly congratulate all the students participating in this great weekend of intellectual and artistic expression – especially all the graduate students – and sincerely thank all the faculty mentors for their commitment to student excellence. As always, we extend a special thanks to Dr. Jill Singer for her passionate leadership in advocating for undergraduate research and for organizing the Research and Creativity Celebration, now in its 14 th year! . Kevin Railey, Ph.D. Associate Provost and Dean, The Graduate School Scholarship through research and creativity and student engagement beyond the classroom are at the core of a Buffalo State education. We are proud today to applaud the extraordinary achievements of talented students who have excelled in scholarly pursuits and are sharing their knowledge and experience at the 14 th Annual Student Research and Creativity Celebration. We also recognize the inspirational leadership of remarkable faculty who continually demonstrate their passion for excellence and their commitment to nurturing students. On behalf of the School of Arts and Humanities, I am honored to congratulate all participants in this celebration. . Benjamin C. Christy, A.Mus.D., Dean, School of Arts and Humanities It is my pleasure to welcome the students, faculty, staff, and friends of Buffalo State to the Student Research and Creativity Celebration. One of the hallmarks of an exceptional education is the step from consumer to creator of new knowledge or art. The fact that so many members of our campus community embrace this rigorous challenge continues to demonstrate the excellence of those who study and teach at Buffalo State. I join my colleagues in celebrating the achievements of our outstanding students and colleagues as they share their work at the 14 th Annual Student Research and Creativity Celebration. Scott L. Johnson, Ph.D., Dean, University College and Associate Vice President for Undergraduate Education
