Dean’s Message<br />
Honoring the Past – Looking Forward to the Future<br />
I recently had the pleasure <strong>of</strong> entertaining four previous College <strong>of</strong> Education<br />
deans – Ken Barker (1966-1985), Bill Klingele (1989-1996), Rita Saslaw (interim,<br />
1996-1998) and Larry Bradley (interim, 1998-2000) – for a dedication <strong>of</strong> a photo<br />
gallery in our conference room honoring past COE deans. For Larry Bradley, it<br />
was the first time he had set foot on campus in the 10 years since he had retired.<br />
We had an opportunity to mingle for a while, and the stories these individuals told<br />
paralleled the same challenges that we face today:<br />
how to provide our students a quality education in<br />
Former Deans Larry Bradley and Bill Klingele. (l-r)<br />
the face <strong>of</strong> recurring budget cuts, how to increase the<br />
diversity <strong>of</strong> our faculty and students, how to conduct cutting-edge research<br />
with limited facilities and how to make a difference in the <strong>Akron</strong> community.<br />
One <strong>of</strong> the things that struck me was the deans’ collective conclusion, based<br />
on a variety <strong>of</strong> sources, that what we are doing today somehow surpassed<br />
what was being done during their respective administrations – whether it be<br />
in teaching, research or community service. <strong>The</strong>ir overall impression seemed<br />
to be that what we are producing today qualitatively stands out from the<br />
performances <strong>of</strong> their day.<br />
Rita Saslaw<br />
In spite <strong>of</strong> a recovering economy, they were upbeat about the future <strong>of</strong> the COE and this <strong>University</strong>. Having<br />
known our predecessors and this institution, they were confident that we would weather the current<br />
financial challenges and move ahead as they had done. As I look ahead to the programming <strong>of</strong> our new<br />
College <strong>of</strong> Education building this coming year, I am grateful for their past leadership. Through their legacy,<br />
these individuals have created an environment that has allowed us to move our strategic directions agenda<br />
forward. I invite you to stop by Zook Hall 207 and view the photo gallery at your next opportunity.<br />
Regards,<br />
Mark D. Shermis<br />

Knight Grant Recognizes UA’s Diversity and Inclusive Excellence<br />
<strong>Akron</strong> will work to increase the recruitment, retention and graduation rates <strong>of</strong> black male students<br />
with a $425,000 grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. John E. Queener, a<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essor in the Department <strong>of</strong> Counseling, is a co-principal investigator on the grant.<br />
UA’s “Rising to the Occasion” program, part <strong>of</strong> the Office <strong>of</strong> Multicultural Development, will be<br />
strengthened with Knight Foundation support and will include:<br />
• Creating support systems by placing African-American male freshmen into small groups, taking<br />
courses and attending study groups and leadership exercises together;<br />
• Launching a “Rites <strong>of</strong> Passage” program to focus on self-esteem, identity, personal responsibility<br />
and pr<strong>of</strong>essional development;<br />
• Conducting a climate study on African-American males to gain understanding <strong>of</strong> the campus experience,<br />
in order to help improve it;<br />
• Providing faculty workshops and symposiums on challenges facing African-American students.<br />
“Improving the retention and graduation rate <strong>of</strong> African-American males is a benefit to all, which translates into a more<br />
informed citizenry, a more educated and equipped workforce that better positions this nation to compete globally and<br />
to build stronger and stable families,” says Fedearia Nicholson, director <strong>of</strong><br />
UA’s Office <strong>of</strong> Multicultural Development.<br />
Queener has also been spotlighted recently for his national conference<br />
work. He presented two papers at the Association <strong>of</strong> Black Psychologists<br />
National Conference held in Chicago. One detailed how mental health<br />
workers can collaborate with the black church to <strong>of</strong>fer culturally relevant<br />
mental health services. <strong>The</strong> other discussed the relationship between black<br />
racial identity, acculturative stress and perceptions <strong>of</strong> racial climate among<br />
counseling students in the Council for Accreditation <strong>of</strong> Counseling and<br />
Related Educational Programs (CACREP). Queener is the president <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Greater Cleveland-<strong>Akron</strong> Chapter <strong>of</strong> the Association <strong>of</strong> Black Psychology.<br />

NIHF STEM Learners Reach Out to El Salvadorian Students<br />
FACULTY<br />
<strong>The</strong> partnership with <strong>The</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Akron</strong> and the National<br />
Inventors Hall <strong>of</strong> Fame School®…Center for STEM Learning<br />
continues to have far reaching benefits, this time around the globe.<br />
Denise Stuart, associate pr<strong>of</strong>essor (CIS), visited the school to share<br />
her work teaching English and literacy in Agua Caliente, El Salvador.<br />
STEM students compared their lives and schooling to that <strong>of</strong> the<br />
students in El Salvador, finding both similarities and differences. Two<br />
middle school advisory groups developed service learning projects<br />
to support the education <strong>of</strong> the young students at the San Jose<br />
School, located in a region challenged by poverty and limited resources. This was the<br />
first year <strong>of</strong> the NIHF STEM school, grades 5-6, and the first year <strong>of</strong> the San Jose<br />
school, grades 1-3.<br />
Coach Amanda Boyd (UA alumna) led the “<strong>The</strong> Bling Boyds” advisory group <strong>of</strong> fifth<br />
graders in raising funds for the San Jose school. <strong>The</strong>y spent many hours handcrafting<br />
journals, bookmarks and “stem” pens. <strong>The</strong>y also planned, organized and implemented<br />
a not-for-pr<strong>of</strong>it business model and earned $285 to benefit the students at San Jose.<br />
Another advisory group <strong>of</strong> sixth graders, “<strong>The</strong> Brainstormers,” led by Coach Donna<br />
Wojcik decorated flip-flop sandals with inspirational messages as their service learning<br />
project. <strong>The</strong>se communications are in English<br />
so the students at San Jose will have an<br />
opportunity to not only practice their<br />
emergent reading but to learn English which<br />
is a curricular goal <strong>of</strong> the San Jose school. <strong>The</strong><br />
community will benefit broadly with the inspirational<br />
work <strong>of</strong> this service learning project<br />
titled “Soothing Soles: Messages <strong>of</strong> Hope.”<br />
Stuart will return to Agua Caliente, El<br />
Salvador, in January 2011 to implement a<br />
student-centered curriculum that focuses on principles <strong>of</strong> democracy and learning<br />
about the current elected President Mauricio Funes, a popular leader, who has<br />
expressed a commitment to building educational opportunities for the<br />
citizens <strong>of</strong> El Salvador.<br />

STUDENT<br />
<strong>Akron</strong> Mayor Donald Plusquellic (center, back) celebrates the finished playground with<br />
volunteers and the young constituents who will be making use <strong>of</strong> the new space.<br />
Students from <strong>The</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Akron</strong>’s College <strong>of</strong> Education were among the 200<br />
volunteers who recently built a new, safe playground at Patterson Park in <strong>Akron</strong>’s<br />
North Hill Neighborhood.<br />
Education students Jordan Ferrell, Tiffany Brenner and Julie Humes joined Dr.<br />
Shelley Waltonen-Moore, co-coordinator <strong>of</strong> the college’s Dean’s Dozen, for the daylong<br />
project. Sponsors for the project were the City <strong>of</strong> <strong>Akron</strong>, Kaboom!, John S. and<br />
James L. Knight Foundation and North <strong>Akron</strong> Baseball Association.<br />
“This was one <strong>of</strong> the most rewarding experiences I have had in my years at <strong>Akron</strong>,”<br />
says Ferrell. “I got to be a part <strong>of</strong> making something that children can enjoy for<br />
years and years to come! I am very glad to be a part <strong>of</strong> the build team, and it is an<br />
experience I will never forget.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> volunteers built the playground in one day, through planning, teamwork and hard<br />
work. Brenner mixed concrete, which she says was tough, but well worth the effort.<br />

“Kids from the neighborhood stopped to stare as we worked to build the playground,”<br />
she says. “It was a great feeling knowing that I was helping make a place for<br />
them to play and have fun. I cannot wait to show people what we helped build.”<br />
Humes, Ferrell and Brenner represented<br />
the Dean’s Dozen, a group <strong>of</strong> extraordinary<br />
students who act as ambassadors,<br />
spreading their enthusiasm for the college<br />
and UA across numerous events that<br />
include admissions, academic and alumni/<br />
donor activities. <strong>The</strong>y also advise the administration<br />
on key issues facing students<br />
and participate in leadership and servicelearning<br />
activities.<br />
“I would have to say that building a playground in one day was the most meaningful<br />
experience that we have provided for our members <strong>of</strong> the Dean’s Dozen,” says<br />
Waltonen-Moore. “This event had civic engagement in mind and it was very<br />
rewarding to participate in this event. At one point I looked across the street and<br />
three <strong>of</strong> the children from the community had set out a blanket and they watched<br />
for several hours as a team <strong>of</strong> 200 volunteers constructed their playground. You<br />
could see the excitement in the community and it was very rewarding.”<br />
