This is a green publication. Read it and recycle it. Or better yet—share it with a friend! 

The NCUR program uses 13,880 pounds of paper made with 30% post-consumer recycled fiber. This saves… 

16,891 pounds of wood—a total of 54 trees that supply enough oxygen for 27 people annually 

24,666 gallons of water—enough water to take 1,434 eight-minute showers 

17 million BTUs of energy—enough energy to power an average American household for 68 days 

5,121 pounds of emissions—carbon sequestered by 59 tree seedlings grown for 10 years 

1,498 pounds of solid waste—trash thrown away by 326 people in a single day 

3,831 pounds of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxide—combined amount of 

carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxide not emitted 

The savings of these greenhouse gas emissions is equivalent to… 

833 hours of electricity—total continuous electricity used by a single-family home 

3,886 pounds of waste—amount of waste recycled instead of landfilled

Welcome from the President 

Welcome researchers! 

Ithaca College is proud to host the 25th National Conference for Undergraduate Research, NCUR. 

We believe you will have a wonderful time presenting your scholarly work on our campus, in a 

setting that is regularly included in lists of top 10 college towns in the country. 

You might want to know something about the campus community you are temporarily joining. 

Ithaca College is unusual in that it began as a music conservatory in 1892. Our other professional 

schools and our School of Humanities and Sciences were added in subsequent decades. But we 

still reflect our conservatory roots throughout all of our programs, as demonstrated through our 

commitment to learning through practice and performance. Practice and performance are, not 

coincidentally, at the heart of the experience of conducting and presenting research. 

Because of that legacy, Ithaca College has long been a proponent of the value of undergraduate 

research. Since 1997 we have set aside a full day for students to present their research, read 

their poetry, and perform their compositions to faculty, staff, and fellow students in the Whalen 

Symposium, named for former president James Whalen. 

We are enormously proud of the work our students present on campus each year, research that at 

last year’s Whalen Symposium spanned topics ranging from animal rights to assisted suicide, from 

climate change to Caribbean literature, from fractals to the Federal Reserve, from polymerization of 

polylactic acid to persuasion in Greek tragedy, from robot-assisted infant mobility to ruptures of the 

anterior cruciate ligament, from lipids to licentiousness in Civil War England, from depression to 

design of video game software. 

Everyone at Ithaca College looks forward to the still-richer feast of scholarship that you, student 

researchers from around the country, will bring to our campus. I urge you to take some time to look 

at the work of your fellow student scholars, and to appreciate the breathtaking span of subjects that 

the human mind seeks to examine and understand. You are part of an enterprise much larger than 

yourself, one that spans disciplines, continents, and generations. Marvel at it! Revel in it! 

Based on my own past experience, I predict with confidence that you will remember this week 

for the rest of your lives. You will remember your trip to and from Ithaca undertaken with others 

from your campus. You will remember your impressions of Ithaca College and the surrounding 

community, along with some of the people you met during the conference. You will especially 

remember your sweaty palms in the minutes before you begin your presentation, and you will 

remember how once you began talking everything fell into place! 

I wish you a wonderful conference and many happy memories. 

Thomas R. Rochon, President

NCUR Information 

What is NCUR? 

The National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR), established in 1987, is dedicated to 

promoting undergraduate research, scholarship, and creative activity in all fields of study by sponsoring 

an annual conference for students. 

Unlike meetings of academic professional organizations, this gathering of young scholars welcomes 

presenters from all institutions of higher learning and from all corners of the academic curriculum. 

Through this annual conference, NCUR creates a unique environment for the celebration and promotion 

of undergraduate student achievement, provides models of 

exemplary research and scholarship, and helps to improve 

the state of undergraduate education. 

In addition to oral and poster sessions, this year’s conference 

will include a visual arts component. Accepted visual arts 

entries will be on display at the Ithaca College Handwerker 

Gallery as a special two-week gallery exhibition. 

NCUR 2011 Logo 

Ithaca sits at the southern tip of Cayuga Lake, the largest of 

the Finger Lakes. The city is home to more than 100 waterfalls 

and gorges within 10 miles of downtown. We are proud of the 

beauty of the waterfalls and gorges, and most especially of our 

spectacular campus views of Cayuga Lake. 

The Ithaca College NCUR logo—with its rolling hills, 

lake, and waterfall—conveys the natural beauty of our area. 

Welcome to Ithaca!

Sustainability at NCUR 2011 (…and at Ithaca College EVERY day!) 

What is sustainability? 

At Ithaca College, we like 

to say that sustainability is a 

decision-making framework 

for continuous improvement— 

we encourage everyone to 

think carefully about the 

decisions they make. Being 

very mindful of the economic, 

environmental, and human 

impact of our choices can 

lead us to make better, more 

sustainable decisions. All of 

us being a little bit smarter 

about our use of resources 

can add up to significant, positive changes. In this way, with the 

support of our entire campus community, Ithaca College has 

become a national sustainability leader within higher education. 

In 2008, Ithaca College received the Campus Sustainability 

Leadership Award from the Association for the Advancement 

of Sustainability in Higher Education. Most of the sustainable 

features you will experience 

during NCUR 2011 are simply 

things Ithaca College students 

have learned to do and come to 

expect on a daily basis. 

Mark Darling, Sustainable 

Operations Coordinator, 

Facilities 

Marian Brown, Special Assistant 

to the Provost for Sustainability 

What are CRT stations? 

CRT stands for Compost- 

Recycling-Trash. Ithaca 

College has a comprehensive 

recycling and composting 

program; please help us keep 

things separate by using the 

correct bin. During the busy 

mealtimes in the Hill Center, 

the friendly folks in green 

T-shirts at each CRT station will help you make the right choice. 

All the “service ware” used at the NCUR events, at the Campus 

Center food court, and at the coffee shops on our campus is 

compostable. Put all leftover food scraps and everything you eat 

it on and with (paper plates and cups, eating utensils, napkins, 

and sandwich wrappers) in the compost bin. The recycling 

bin accepts the following: plastic, metal, and glass bottles and 

cans; newspapers; magazines; colored and white office paper; 

cereal-type boxes; and corrugated cardboard. Anything that isn’t 

compostable or recyclable goes in the trash bin. Everywhere on 

campus there are blue paper bins and green bottle-and-can bins 

located next to trash bins; some areas may also have compost 

bins. Please recycle! 

What’s sustainable 

about the food? 

Look for local, seasonal, and 

organic foods being served 

—in this way, we support 

our local farmers and food 

producers. We are serving all 

conference meals in a buffet 

format (although some “grab 

and go” meals will be available 

prepackaged in compostable 

containers). While these food 

buffets are “all you care to 

Sofia Johnson ’12, Sustainability 

Intern, Dining Services 

eat,” please look for the dietary information about the foods 

offered to help you make healthier choices. And please think 

about taking smaller portions, so you don’t waste food. The 

SWIFT (Stop Wasting Ithaca’s Food Today) student organization 

repackages any leftover, unserved food items for use at a local 

food pantry. 

Think “Reduce” before “Recycle” 

Just because things are compostable, don’t take items you 

don’t need. If you grab a breakfast muffin, don’t take a 

paper plate when all you really need is a paper napkin. 

What’s compostable besides food? 

All “service ware” is compostable. This means that the paper 

plates, paper hot/cold cups, bioplastic eating utensils, paper 

napkins, and paper sandwich wrappers all go in the compost 

collection bins. Compostable service ware is something we use 

every day at Ithaca College. If you purchase food at any of the 

retail coffee kiosks or the Campus Center food court, almost all 

materials—including clear plastic cups, coffee cups, lids, straws, 

and prepackaged items in clear plastic “clamshells” (salads, fruit 

cups, etc.)—are compostable. It says so right on the item, but 

don’t spill your food looking for it! All compostables we collect 

are transported to a local processor, Cayuga Compost, where 

they are transformed into nutrient-rich soil amendments. 

Your NCUR T-shirt is 100% organic cotton. 

We chose organic cotton because it uses agricultural methods 

18

Sustainability at NCUR 2011 (…and at Ithaca College EVERY day!) 

designed to help sustain the 

land it grows on, the people 

who grow and harvest it, 

and the planet in general. 

Conventional cotton is one of 

the most chemically dependent 

crops, using up to a third of a 

pound of chemicals to produce 

enough cotton for one shirt. 

We worked with a local printer 

to print these NCUR logo 

T-shirts on a “print to order” 

basis—we will only order 

the exact quantities we need, 

so no conference shirts go to 

Margaret Keating ’12, Resource 

and Environmental Management 

Program Intern 

waste. Ithaca College’s bookstore sells a large number of other 

sustainable products—check them out! 

Conventional cotton is one of the most 

chemically dependent crops, using up to a 

third of a pound of chemicals to produce 

enough cotton for one shirt. 

Use your Chico bag to carry all your conference materials. 

This durable little reusable polyester cloth bag, rated to carry 

up to 25 pounds of material, stuffs down compactly into its 

own built-in 3-inch by 4-inch storage pouch so that—long after 

NCUR is over—your Chico 

bag is ready in your purse or 

backpack for shopping trips. 

Bailey Reagan ’12, NCUR 

Executive Committee Member 

You received an 

aluminum bottle. 

Please reuse this BPA-free 

aluminum bottle to meet all 

your beverage needs. Water 

fountains are available in each 

building, and special highcapacity 

ice water stations are 

also located in several areas, 

including the hallway in Textor 

Hall, in Hill Center (where 

lunch is served), in the Fitness Center (where the poster sessions 

and grad fair are held), and in the Campus Center’s second-floor 

main lobby. Please think about using your aluminum bottle for 

NCUR lunches—you can easily rinse it out and use it to hold 

either hot or cold beverages. 

Bring your own reusable 

mug to campus, and you may 

get a free drink! 

Bring your reusable mugs for 

coffee or tea to breakfast—or 

to any retail location at any 

time on campus—and you 

may win! Volunteers at the 

conference will be looking for 

reusable mugs and handing 

out coupons for free coffee or 

tea to mug users. In addition, 

if you purchase a beverage 

Stephanie Piech ’11, Sustainability 

Intern, Dining Services 

in your own mug at any retail location, you will receive $0.15 

off your purchase. If you don’t have a reusable mug, you can 

purchase one at the Campus Center food court. Attendees who 

use reusable mugs rather than disposable cups will save the 

conference a significant amount of waste. Although our coffee 

cups are compostable, the 

more we can save, the better 

for the environment! 

Briana Duquette ’12, NCUR 

Executive Committee Member 

Your NCUR conference 

badge is “green.” 

“Green” in this case does not 

refer to the color of the badge 

but rather to the fact that the 

badge itself is fully recyclable, 

and the fabric lanyard for 

your name badge is made of 

recycled soda bottles. You may 

choose to keep your badge and 

lanyard as a souvenir of your 

time at NCUR, but if you choose to recycle them, please return 

your badge to the check-in location at the end of the conference. 

What’s sustainable about NCUR signage? 

We have deliberately limited the one-time-only directional 

signage for this conference. Most of the signs you will see are 

reusable signboards, so the text can be changed and used for 

other events. To help with finding your way around campus, 

please look for an NCUR volunteer in a bright yellow T-shirt to 

ask directions or get answers to any of your other questions.

NCUR 2011 Proceedings 

Ithaca College, March 31–April 2, 2011 

One benefit of presenting at NCUR is the opportunity for students 

to publish their work in the conference proceedings, produced 

annually by the University of North Carolina at Asheville and 

distributed to institutions across the nation. All student presenters 

at the conference (including students in the performing/visual 

arts) are invited to submit manuscripts for review by the 

proceedings board. 

Submitting work to the proceedings has many advantages, 

two of which are deemed especially important: 

1. The opportunity to receive comments from faculty outside 

your college or university, thereby enhancing the paper for 

submission to other sources in your field 

2. The opportunity to list your publication on your resume for 

graduate and professional school applications 

Paper Submission Dates and Fee Schedule

Plenary Speakers 

Branford Marsalis 

World-Renowned Saxophonist 

Thursday, March 31, 10:30 a.m.–Noon 


With Simulcast in Hockett Family Recital Hall, Whalen Center* 

Pathways: Influences, Opportunities, and Obligations 

“All people are shaped by the pathways they pursue during 

their lifetime. These pathways are often influenced through the 

association with other people, the opportunities that are presented 

and chosen during one’s life, and the obligations that result from 

these opportunities. While fate may play a hand in some of these 

events, it is up to the individual to truly choose his or her own 

paths.” —Branford Marsalis 

Marsalis will reflect on the major influences in his personal 

and professional life, and how these relationships and experiences 

helped to guide his pathways. 

His talented family members 

were certainly major 

contributors to his musical 

development, but how did they 

affect his moral and intellectual 

values? How did his training in 

college and early performance 

opportunities lead to his work 

on The Tonight Show with 

Jay Leno and his association 

with artists such as Sting, the 

Grateful Dead, and the most 

famous jazz performers of our 

time? Although he did not train 

to become a classical musician, how has he earned opportunities 

to perform concertos with world-class orchestras? Perhaps above 

all else, what drives an accomplished musician to give back and 

help others, as in his work establishing the New Orleans Habitat 

for Humanity: Musician’s Village after the Katrina disaster? 

Allow his remarks to influence how you make contributions, 

learn from those around you, and recognize opportunities to 

build your own pathway. 

Libuse Binder 

Author and Activist 

Friday, April 1, 10:00–11:15 a.m. 



Ten Ways to Change the World in Your 20s 

Libuse Binder’s presentation offers an overview of the ideas 

featured in her book, Ten 

Ways to Change the World 

in Your 20s, which is geared 

towards the next generation 

of leaders. Her ideas include 

tangible steps that each person 

can take to shape the world 

today, including suggestions 

for resources and organizations 

that are active on campus and 

in the local community, tips on 

finding careers that align with 

students’ passions and values, 

inspiring success stories of 

“twentysomethings” making a 

difference, and a chance to ask questions and offer suggestions 

about local and global activism. 

In her book, Binder provides a timely roadmap for individuals 

looking to make a difference—from eating locally and reducing 

waste, to starting a nonprofit organization or finding a career 

dedicated to helping others. Binder provides up-to-date resources 

and ideas for the casually concerned and deeply passionate 

alike. By combining easy-to-follow suggestions with the stories 

of myriad millennials already making a difference, she inspires 

people to find and follow their passions, and to believe in their 

ability to do good in the world today.

Plenary Speakers 

David Campbell 

Professor of Biology, Grinnell College 

Friday, April 1, 2:15–3:30 p.m. 



The Ghosts of Empire: The Signature of the Classic Maya 

Civilization on the Forests of Central America 

For 4,000 years, the Maya have been tweaking and manipulating 

the species composition of the forests of Mesoamerica to serve as 

a living larder for food, construction materials, medicine, and a 

myriad of other purposes. As a result, the Maya have transformed 

those forests into anthropogenic “feral forest gardens.” 

Since 1993, 14 cohorts of Grinnell College and Mesoamerican 

students have spent their summers in Belize living among the 

Yucatec Maya people and studying their relationship to their natal 

forest. We have learned that the 

Yucatec Maya have the most 

species-rich domestic gardens 

on Earth (a total of 545 species 

of flowering plants, most of 

which are trees, representing 

approximately 30 percent 

of the floristic diversity of 

Belize). The margin between 

a Maya domestic garden and 

the forest is invisible; each is 

derived from the other. For 500 

years the Yucatec people have 

maintained a rich vocabulary 

for these species, and the 

naming of the parts of the forest has preserved their language and 

cultural identity in the face of genocide, epidemics, and colonial 

exploitation. In this way language and biophilia have become 

inextricably bound. To be Maya is to be a gardener, and to be a 

gardener is to speak Mayan. 

Campbell’s talk, although packed with data and analysis, is 

also picaresque and humorous, full of anecdotes of the adventures 

(and misadventures) of fieldwork and the poignant life stories 

of our Maya collaborators. Ultimately, it delivers a lesson in 

human rights, by celebrating the Yucatec Maya’s splendid but 

unappreciated biophilia—an accomplishment as great as their 

renowned mathematics, astronomy, and architecture. 

Brian Wansink 

John S. Dyson Professor of Marketing and Consumer Behavior, 

Director of the Cornell Food and Brand Lab, 

Author of Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think 

Saturday, April 2, 10:00–11:15 a.m. 



Mindless Eating: Psychology, 

College Students, and Food 

Most of us don’t overeat 

because we’re hungry. We 

overeat because of family and 

friends, packages and plates, 

names and numbers, labels 

and lights, colors and candles, 

shapes and smells, distractions 

and distances, cupboards and 

containers. 

Based on 20 years of 

research, Professor Wansink 

shows how we mindlessly 

eat and how we can turn it around. Interestingly, the solution 

to mindless eating is not “mindful eating.” Instead it is setting 

up your home, table, and office so that you mindlessly eat less 

rather than mindlessly overeat. During his presentation, Wansink 

will identify three cues that lead to mindless eating, isolate what 

makes people eat more than they think, and identify which small 

changes are most likely to have a ripple effect. See more at 

MindlessEating.org.
