A Message from the President
Dear researchers,
Welcome to the 26th National Conference on Undergraduate
Research and to Weber State University. Your journey of
inquiry, investigation and discovery has brought you here,
to the foremost undergraduate research conference in the
country.
To say that Weber State values undergraduate research
would be an understatement. Each year we look forward to
WSU’s research symposium and celebration, and we have now
hosted three major undergraduate research conferences in
the past three years: the Council on Undergraduate Research
in 2010, the Utah Conference on Undergraduate Research in
2011, and during the next three days, NCUR. We couldn’t be
more excited to have all of you on our campus.
In my 30-year tenure at Weber State, I have seen the
wonderful effects of undergraduate research, not only on our
students, but on our community, our state, even our world.
Our student researchers, working alongside their faculty
mentors, have worked to prevent the extinction of a small
migratory bird that lives along the Great Salt Lake shoreline
(if you’ve never visited the lake, I highly recommend signing
up for the Saturday excursion to Antelope Island State Park).
They’ve helped military shift workers reduce fatigue using
light therapy. They’ve spearheaded the building of a satellite
that was carried aboard the space shuttle in 1985, a satellite
that now resides in The Smithsonian Air & Space Museum.
I could go on, as proud as I am of our students and what
they’ve done, but I am eager to hear and see the work they,
and all of you, will share during this conference. In fact,
everyone on campus has been looking forward to your arrival
and your presentations.
I encourage you to take full advantage of this experience.
Attend presentations by your fellow student researchers.
Enjoy our notable plenary speakers. Get out, make friends, and
see Utah – our beautiful state has much to offer.
Wishing you a magnificent experience,
F. Ann Millner, President
Weber State University

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 research achievement, provides models of exemplary
research and scholarship, and helps to improve the state of undergraduate education.
In addition to oral and poster sessions, the 2012
conference includes performing and visual
arts presentations.
NCUR 2012 Logo
From its early days as a rough railroad town to
its current status as an outdoor, high-adventure
hotspot, Ogden has always been action-packed.
But the Wasatch Mountains, those are the natural
draw to this great city. They are stunning. They
are fun. They are famous. And, nestled at the
foot is Weber State University. A scenic location
that we are so proud of, we incorporated it into
the NCUR 2012 logo.

Sustainability
What is Sustainability?
At Weber State University, we use the
following definition of sustainability,
taken from the World Commission
on Environment and Development
Brundtland Report, “Our Common Future”
(1987):
Sustainability is to “…meet the needs
and aspirations of the present
generation without compromising the
ability of future generations to meet
their own needs.”
toward sustainability. WSU currently
holds a bronze rating under STARS, and
is quickly moving towards its goal of a
platinum rating.
In 2007, WSU completed an inventory
of all of its greenhouse gas emissions.
Using 2007 as a baseline, WSU is on track
for reaching a 25% reduction in emissions
by 2012 and carbon neutrality by 2050.
This definition applies to every aspect
of campus life. As WSU moves forward
in meeting the educational needs and
aspirations of its students, the Energy
and Sustainability Office is working every
day to insure that this opportunity is
available for subsequent generations.
What is Weber State Doing to
Become More Sustainable?
Sustainability Goals
In 2007, WSU President Ann Millner
signed the American College and
University Presidents’ Climate
Commitment. This document, signed
by 674 institutions across the nation,
commits WSU to carbon neutrality by
2050.
In order to gauge our progress, WSU
participates in the Sustainability Tracking
Assessment and Rating System (STARS).
STARS provides a transparent reporting
framework for WSU to gauge its progress
20
Energy Projects
WSU is upgrading systems all over
campus to become more energy
efficient. Our steam heating system
is being upgraded with Aerogel, a high
tech insulator that is greatly increasing
efficiency.
Lighting, both indoor and outdoor, is
being upgraded with more efficient bulbs
and ballasts. Solar power is being used to
heat the Swenson gym’s pool and produce
electricity at the Shepherd Union Building
and WSU’s Davis Campus.
Chillers and boilers all over campus
have been replaced with high efficiency
models. These along with many more
projects currently underway are already
saving WSU over $500,000 annually in
energy costs. This number is projected to
increase as more projects are completed.
Sustainability
Waste
WSU has a campus-wide recycling
program. Look for blue and purple bins
inside the buildings on campus. Green
waste on campus is used for mulch.
Electronics are recycled as funds permit,
and excess desks, chairs, and other office
equipment are sold to the public instead
of being hauled to a landfill.
Water
Water is a big issue, especially here in
the West. Utah is the 2nd driest state in
the nation and consistently has one of
the highest rates of water consumption.
Water is a very limited resource and WSU
is taking steps to curb its consumption.
Low flow faucets are being installed all
over campus. Up to 1.2 million gallons
per week of storm water is reclaimed by
the Lindquist pond. Campus irrigation
systems have been upgraded to use
less water and xeriscaping is being
implemented by planting drought-tolerant
and native vegetation.
New Construction
All new buildings constructed at WSU
must meet LEED silver certifications.
LEED is a certification by the US Green
Building Council that takes into account
site selection, water, insulation, energy,
and other efficiency factors. Currently,
the Hurst Center for Continuing
Education and Elizabeth Hall are LEED
silver certified. Upon completion, the new
Wildcat Village dormitories will also carry
this distinction.
Sustainability Summit
This year, WSU hosted the 3rd annual
Intermountain Sustainability Summit.
This two-day event gathered civic,
business, and sustainability professionals
to provide training and resources on
implementing sustainability in homes,
businesses, and cities. This conference is
growing every year and becoming one of
the premiere sustainability events in the
western United States.
What Can I Do to Lessen My Impact
at NCUR 2012?
1. Use your NCUR sports water bottle for
drinking water during the conference.
2. If you have a reusable mug, use it
for coffee and other drinks during the
meeting. The campus food service
provider, Sodexo, provides incentives for
doing this.
3. Consider purchasing carbon offsets
(or asking your institution to) to mitigate
all or part of your travel-related carbon
emissions. Two options for doing
this are listed below. The Weber State
site has a carbon footprint calculator.
Payments made to this site go towards
efficiency improvements and solar panel
purchases on campus. The other site is
for TerraPass, a nationally recognized,
carbon offset provider.

NCUR Water Bottle
The aluminum sports water bottle
provided reduces the use of plastic
bottled water and for other disposable
containers.
NCUR Lanyards
The meeting lanyards are made from
75% post-consumer waste. The lanyard
material is mostly derived from recycled
PET from water bottles.
NCUR Messenger Bags
The eco-friendly messenger bag features
a pen loop, two front pockets with a
Velcro closure, two elastic side pockets,
and a 45” shoulder strap, making it the
perfect thing to carry your necessary
supplies without losing any of your items.
Sodexo & Sustainable Dining
Weber State University’s campus dining
team is dedicated to sustainability. We
know we can all work together to make
a positive impact right here at Weber
State University. In addition to the many
initiatives we take on as a company,
we have implemented the following
programs specific to Weber State. We
offer recycling programs; waste reduction
programs; extensive use of eco-friendly
disposables; incentives for reusable cups,
mugs, and shopping bags; and the use of
eco-friendly cleaning and dishwashing
products. Weber State is in the process
of establishing a composting program to
further reduce our organic waste.
22
Our chefs work with local vendors to
source locally grown and locally produced
foods to make your dining experience
an enjoyable one. Look for fresh baked
breads from Stoneground Bread Company,
locally made cheeses from Beehive
Cheese along with other fresh fruits
and vegetables from surrounding farms
on your menus during your visit. The
menu for this conference will include
whole grains, nuts, and other ingredients
prepared with healthy cooking
techniques. Please look for the dietary
information about the foods offered to
help you make healthier choices. All of
our meals will be served buffet style.
Consider taking only the food you will
eat to avoid unnecessary food waste. As
always, any unserved food items will be
delivered to a local soup kitchen to serve
the community.
Sustainable Energy
Our Facilities Management staff has
estimated the total electricity
usage associated with the campus
buildings to be used during the NCUR
meeting. Weber State has committed to
offsetting the associated carbon
emissions by making a block purchase of
renewable energy through Rocky
Mountain Power’s Blue Sky program.
Wind power delivered to their
regional power grid is the source of this
renewable energy. Currently,
Weber State purchases 11.4% of its power
through the Blue Sky program.

With John Mull
Programs that provide opportunities
to volunteer your time and skills
after graduation abound. Some, like
Americorps and the Peace Corps,
require 1 or 2-year commitments, but
many others can accommodate shorter
commitments. Volunteering affords the
chance to contribute to an important
cause, live in a new place, and develop
skills and experiences valued by
employers and graduate schools. This
session will provide an overview of
volunteer opportunities in the U.S. and
abroad that are available to recent college
graduates.
Preparing for Graduate School in Psychology:
Socializing Yourself into the Discipline
With Eric Amsel, Chair of Psychology at
The presentation will discuss guiding

is emphasized. The goal of preparation
should be to become socialized into
the discipline, which will be expressed
in your letter of application and
recommendations.
