Ithaca
College Invites ANAC Member Faculty to Apply for Distinguished Teaching
Fellow Position at London Centre Ithaca College is pleased to announce that, beginning with the academic year 2002-3, the Ithaca College London Centre will host a Distinguished Teaching Fellow. The program is specifically designed for senior faculty with demonstrated excellence in teaching and the willingness to design a course appropriate for delivery in London. The course may be from any academic area but should enhance the curriculum of the London Centre. The Fellow may be appointed for either Fall or Spring semester and, in rare cases, may teach up to two semesters. Applicants should be on sabbatical or have permission to take a leave of absence from their college/university. Any tenured faculty member from any of the schools in the Associated New American Colleges is eligible to apply. In exchange for teaching one course, the Fellow will receive roundtrip airfare from the closest major airport, and the use of Ithaca College's three-bedroom house in Collier's Wood for the semester free of charge. Selected Fellows may bring family members but the College is not responsible for these expenses. Fellows will also have the opportunity to travel on any of the London Centre's regularly scheduled trips for students at a reduced rate. There are generally four trips per semester to Bath and Stonehenge, Stratford, Dublin, and Edinburgh. In addition, Fellows will receive complimentary tickets to some of the productions theatre students see during their studies. Fellows will be responsible for personal transportation (via tube) to the Centre, food, telephone calls (apart from basic local service), and personal items. The house in Collier's Wood is two minutes from the tube station and very close to major shopping, schools, etc. The house is fully furnished and includes a washer and computer. Fellows will be required to put down a deposit for damages. Interested faculty should send a letter of interest, curriculum vita, evidence of excellence in teaching, list of references, and the outline of a course proposal to: Dr. Adrian Sherman, Director Applicants should apply at least one semester in advance of
the semester they wish to be considered for. The selection process
will occur in December for the following Fall semester and August
for Spring semester. When Fellows are selected, they will be
required to produce a letter from their appropriate dean or provost
indicating institutional support for the Fellow's leave of absence.
Inquiries or questions should be sent via e-mail to: asherman@ithaca.edu. |

Drury
University Holds Teach-In on War with Iraq; Selects "Gender
and Sexuality" Convocation Theme Drury University may have held, September 3, the first campus teach-in on possible war with Iraq. About 300 students, faculty, and members of the Springfield community discussed the pros and cons of a US attack on Iraq to depose Saddam Hussein. Organized by Charles Ess, director of Drury's interdisciplinary studies center, and Tom Parker, professor of art, the event saw speakers debate a spectrum of issues from the legality of war without Congressional authorization to whether American interests might be better served by a program of humanitarian measures. Drury has also launched the third year of its integrative general education core, Global Perspectives 21, featuring a year-long convocation series as the centerpiece of curricular and cocurricular activities. This year's theme, "Gender and Sexuality," follows "Origins" (cultural, artistic, scientific, emotional, and spiritual), the 2001-02 theme, and "Celebration of Diversity" (ethnicity, minority and women's issues, human rights, death penalty, etc.), the theme of 2000-01. Speakers scheduled for the 2002-03 year include Shere Hite, Don Deeds, Nikki Giovanni, Patricia Ireland, and Christina Hoff Sommers.
Valparaiso
University Completes "Three Goals, One Promise" Campaign;
PLU Receives International Program Grants Valparaiso University has announced a very successful completion of its "Three Goals, One Promise" Campaign. The campaign raised $121,465,393, 162% of its original $75 million goal. Campaign funds are supporting capital construction of VU's new $33 million Center for Library and Information Resources, along with endowment programs and University operations and special projects. The campaign was dedicated to three goals-quality faculty, excellent facilities, and financial strength-in order to fulfill the promise, in the words of President Alan Harre, "that a place like Valpo will be as vital to the educational development and spiritual growth of the student of the 21st century as it has been for students in its 75 years as a Lutheran University. That Valpo will strive to offer the best in higher education combined with faith, honoring the intentions established by our founders in 1925." Three major recent grants are enabling Pacific Lutheran University to take large strides in advancing its international program development. The 2002 summer issue of the ANAC Bulletin reported on PLU's $4 million gift to establish the Wang International Center. PLU also received a six-figure Freeman Foundation grant and, most recently, a $456,000 grant from the Teagle Foundation to expand international and intercultural programs and to provide more study abroad opportunities and interdisciplinary approaches to learning. Hampton
University Noctilucent Cloud Research Selected by NASA for Satellite
Mission; Hampton Receives Grant for Distance Education Hampton University's noctilucent (or night shining) cloud research project is one of only two selected from among 43 submitted by American universities and research centers for satellite flight in NASA's Small Explorer (SMEX) program. Night shining clouds form fifty miles above the Earth's surface, usually in regions poleward of 55 degrees latitude during the summer. The number of sightings of these clouds appears to be increasing, they are becoming brighter, and they appear to be moving closer to the equator-leading to speculation that they may be harbingers of global climate change, although little is known about them. Hampton has also received word of a $1.25 million grant from the
US Department of Human Services to support development of a pediatric
nurse practitioner distance education program. The goal of the new
program is the education of nurses with advanced knowledge and clinical
skills in child health care who will be able to provide a broad
range of comprehensive pediatric primary health care services to
children from infancy through adolescence. Belmont,
Redlands, Hamline, Drury, and Elon Invest in Facilities Several examples are indicative of the facilities construction occurring on most ANAC member campuses: Belmont University broke ground a year ago on the largest building program in its history—the Curb Events Center, a 5,000 seat entertainment and athletic venue; the Beaman Student Life Center, a recreational facility and gathering place for student organizations; and a multi-level parking facility with 836 spaces. The parking facility was dedicated on August 17, and the other two buildings will be completed in time for fall 2003 classes. University of Redlands dedicated on September 14, its 6,800 square feet, $4 million, state-of-the-art Fitness Center. Hamline University School of Law's nationally recognized moot court program now has the state-of-the-art Annette K. Levine Moot Court Room, dedicated on September 19. The $500,000 facility is outfitted with a video conferencing system, a computer and multi display "evidence cart," witness document camera, smartboard, and student seating featuring integrated network connections. On October 25, Drury University will dedicate its new $19 million, 78,000 square feet Trustee Science Center. Elon University has completed the first two buildings in its New Academic Village to house foreign language and international studies programs, classrooms, and student housing and faculty apartments. Hampton
and Belmont Receive Professional Program Accreditation; Sage and
Simmons Offer New Programs; Elon Honored for First-Year Program Hampton University, after awarding
its first doctorate of pharmacy degrees in May, has received full
accreditation from the American Council on Pharmaceutical Education
(ACPE). Belmont University has been notified that it is the
first private university in Loss
of a Good Friend at Quinnipiac; Hamline Selects CFO The wider ANAC community is saddened to learn of the death due to a sudden illness in April of James Marshall, a professor of health management at Quinnipiac University. James had many friends within ANAC, especially those who got to know him well through his involvement in the ANAC faculty work project and his participation in the ANAC Woodrow Wilson Summer Institutes. He was a quiet and thoughtful person of great good will who is sorely missed.
Hamline University has named Douglas Anderson as its new
vice president for finance and treasurer. He brings twenty-five
years of financial experience to the position, including work in
both the private and not-for-profit sectors. He is the owner of
Alta Business Consulting, a Twin Cities-based consulting firm established
to support human services organizations. Valparaiso
University History of Past Century Published Richard Baepler, emeritus professor of theology and law, has written the first book on the history of Valparaiso University, founded in its Lutheran form in 1925, through the twentieth century. Entitled Flame of Faith, Lamp of Learning, the work was completed for the University's 75th year observance as a Lutheran university. The institutional history goes back to Valparaiso's founding in 1859 as Valparaiso Male and Female College. |
