Campus Life 16 PORTiCO WinTeR 2007 The department beat Anthropology Dr. Greg Reinhardt (chair) spoke to the Inuit Art Society on October 7 at IUPUI’s Herron Art School. His remarks were titled “The Art of Everyday Life in Prehistoric Alaska.” Art & Design Donna Adams ’68 is on sabbatical this semester, studying non-toxic intaglio printmaking at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Dee Schaad (chair) was one of six artists who made presentations and conducted workshops for the Potters Council of the American Ceramic Society at the organization’s Midwest meeting in September. He also had a one-person exhibition of his interpretation of “Dante’s Inferno” in the University’s Ransburg Gallery. The work was completed during the summer as part of a University summer research grant. Center for Aging and Community In August, CAC welcomed Tamara Wolske ’05 MS as academic program director. Prior to assuming this role, Tamara served CAC as a graduate fellow. Executive Director Dr. Ellen W. Miller and Senior Fellow Helen Dillon were named to Indiana’s working group for the “Money Follows the Person” grant, a project under President Bush’s New Freedom Initiative. Senior Fellow Kay Crawford was named to the United Way of Central Indiana’s Human Services committee. CAC continues to host its “IN Place” speaker series on topics related to Aging in Place. In October, Dr. Roseann Lyle, a member of the steering committee of the National Active Aging Partnership, was on campus to discuss the “Partnership’s National Blueprint: Increasing Physical Activity for Adults Age 50 and Older.” On the same day, CAC hosted another event in Lafayette, Ind., where Jenny Olszewski, marketing director from WLFI-TV Channel 18, shared valuable national and local data regarding lifestyle indicators for older adults and how those indicators affect marketing geared to this age group. IN Place events take place quarterly. More information about upcoming events can be found at http://cac.uindy.edu. In November CAC joined WFYI and CICOA Aging & In-Home Solutions to present an Indianapolis Spirit & Place Festival event. “Almost Home: How We Live As We Age” gave the audience an opportunity to discuss the changing models of care for older adults. This spring CAC will partner with the UIndy School of Psychological Sciences to sponsor “Responsible Education in the 21st Century: Preparing Students for Life in an Aging Society,” the Katharine Ratliff Memorial Conference on Ethics, Values, and Human Responsibility. The conference will bring together representatives from institutions of higher learning throughout Indiana to begin a dialogue about how to infuse aging into core curricula. William J. Raspberry ’58 ’73 HD, member of the Board of Trustees and retired Washington Post columnist, will be the keynote speaker. CAC is working with the Indiana Department of Aging and more than a dozen other aging service organizations to plan the first Indiana Collaborative Conference on Aging, scheduled for February 2008. Dr. Ellen Miller is leading the steering committee for the event. Helen Dillon is serving on the program committee, while communications coordinator Amy Magan is participating on the marketing committee. Other consulting projects the Center completed this fall include “Evaluation of Nutrition, Meal, and Food Programs for the Elderly in Central Indiana,” a report for the Indianapolis Retirement Home Fund of the Central Indiana Community Foundation, and “The Health Reform Dialogue Tools Project” for the South Central Indiana Regional Healthcare Consortium. Center of Excellence in Leadership of Learning The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has awarded the Center of Excellence in Leadership of Learning a $2.3-million grant to extend its work with Indianapolis Public Schools. This new grant reflects the confidence the Gates Foundation has in the work that CELL has already done with IPS and other schools and districts in Marion County. CELL has been collaborating with IPS since 2003, when it received a grant of $11.3 million from the Gates Foundation to help establish new startup high schools throughout Marion County while assisting IPS in converting its large high schools to smaller, more personal schools that can provide
igorous instruction and monitor student progress more easily. This new grant extends that work with IPS through June 2008. While the initial Gates grant allowed CELL to build the infrastructure of small schools, this new grant enables the Center to focus on raising the quality of instruction in IPS classrooms. CELL will provide coaching on successful instructional methods, and help teachers and administrators learn to use data to improve instruction. On November 1–2, CELL hosted a conference in downtown Indianapolis titled “Indiana’s Future: World-Class Schools for the 21st Century— Leadership, Learning & the Global Economy.” Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels, State Superintendent Suellen Reed, Indianapolis Mayor Bart Peterson, Sir Dexter Hutt (British Inspectorate), Dr. Yong Zhao (Chinese/American education scholar), and Dr. Vivien Stewart (Asia Society), as well as UIndy faculty and teacher leaders from across the state, presented about connections between education and economic development. Students representing UIndy’s Kappa Delta Pi chapter and the Student Education Association also were involved. For more information about the conference, visit the Web site at http://cell.uindy.edu/ indianasfuture/. Chemistry Members of the Chemistry Department at UIndy participated in the 19th biennial Conference in Chemical Education this summer at Purdue University. Dr. Joe Burnell ’83, Dr. Nancy Munson, and Dr. Lindell Ward attended the conference, and Dr. Ann Cutler served as poster chair. On September 26, the Chemistry Department hosted the fourth annual Chemistry Career Night with the Indiana Section of the American Chemical Society. More than 200 participants representing 30 high schools, colleges, and companies throughout central Indiana attended the program that emphasized chemistry careers in the forensic sciences. Among the presenters were UIndy graduate students Amandine Eriksen, Natalie Fleming, and Erin Guthrie from Forensic Anthropology. UIndy alumnus Raphael Perez ’96 of the Indiana State Crime Lab discussed firearms investigations. Dr. Katherine Stickney organized and led the program, and Dr. Lindell Ward acted as master of ceremonies. Kresge Science Initiative Dr. Cary Hanni ’69 and Dr. Larry Thompson ’63 are cochairs of a volunteer Kresge Science Initiative Steering Committee for the University of Indianapolis. The nine-member committee is leading a $1-million science instrumentation fundraising project for the University’s departments of Biology and Chemistry. Experience with modern research instrumentation is critical for graduate school applicants, as well as for entry-level scientists in many life science, academic, and industrial laboratories in Indiana and beyond. The University is seeking support from alumni and other private sources in order to leverage an approach to the Kresge Foundation in early 2007 for a Science Initiative Challenge Grant. For more information or to contribute to this project, contact Kevin Miller, director of Corporate and Foundation Relations, at (317) 788-2070 or kemiller@uindy.edu. Ecumenical & Interfaith Programs In August, Dr. Michael G. Cartwright (dean) gave a series of lectures on Protestant spirituality at the Academy for Spiritual Formation #23 meeting at Sinsenawa Mound Dominican Retreat Center in Wisconsin. Cartwright also gave lectures in October at Anderson University and Taylor University on the topic of “Mars Hill Revisited: Christian Engagement with Other Religions.” In November, Cartwright presented a paper titled “Our Country and the End of the World Revisited” at the Bible and Nineteenth- Century Public Theology session of the annual meeting of the Society of Biblical Literature in Washington, D.C. English Dr. Kyoko Amano’s article “Robert Frost’s ‘Acquainted with the Night’” was recently accepted for publication by the Explicator. She attended the National Collegiate Honors Council’s annual conference in Philadelphia with Dr. Greta Pennell (School of Education) in November. Jen Camden presented a paper this summer titled “Could it indeed be Rowena at all?: Poe’s Rewriting of Scott” at the Transatlanticism in American Literature: Poe, Emerson, and Hawthorne conference at Oxford University. She also presented a paper titled “Race, Femininity and the Historical Romance in Ivanhoe and Hope Leslie” at the Scottish Romanticism and World Literatures conference at the University of California-Berkeley in September. In November she presented a paper titled “Mind how it comes on: Love, Hate, and Marriage in Clarissa” at the Midwest Modern Language Association Conference in Chicago. alumni.uindy.edu 17
