Installation Ceremony for University President Troy Paino Alumni, parents, and friends are invited to join the Truman community on Sept. 17, 2010, for the Installation Ceremony for Troy D. Paino, the University’s 16th president. During the ceremony, which will be held in Baldwin Auditorium, Paino will officially be installed in the position he has held since May 10, 2010. Coughlin Serving as Interim Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Richard Coughlin, dean of Libraries and Museums, is currently serving as interim provost and vice president for Academic Affairs. He began his new role on May 10, when Troy Paino, the former provost and vice president for Academic Affairs, began his duties as the new president of Truman State University following the retirement of President Darrell Krueger. “Dean Coughlin is a trusted and respected administrator who knows the University well,” said University President Paino. “I am deeply indebted to him for his willingness to serve in this capacity.” Prior to coming to Truman in 1995 to serve as director of the University’s library and head of the Division of Libraries and Museums, Coughlin was the administrative services librarian for Boston College Libraries. Coughlin received a bachelor’s degree in history from Merrimack College and a master of science in library science from Simmons College. Luke Freeland Appointed to Board of Governors Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon appointed Luke Freeland as the next student representative to the Truman State University Board of Governors, and Freeland was confirmed by the Missouri Senate on April 15. A physics major from Kirksville, Mo., Freeland is also pursuing a minor in political science with an emphasis in pre-law. As a student at Truman, Freeland has occupied leadership roles in Blue Key honor service fraternity as well as Alpha Kappa Lambda, and he has been active with Campus Pals, the Joseph Baldwin Academy and the SERVE Center. In March 2010, Freeland served as cocoordinator for the SERVE Center’s Big Event. Among his accomplishments at Truman, Freeland has received the University’s Golden Leadership Award and President’s Scholarship. Rent-A-Textbook Beginning this fall, the Truman State University Bookstore will offer students a new, multichannel textbook rental program. The textbook rental program will allow students to rent their textbooks from the Truman Bookstore for less than 50 percent of the cost of purchasing a new printed textbook. Students can highlight or mark the rented books just as they would if they purchased a book and planned to sell it back to the bookstore. Students will also have the opportunity to convert their rental to a purchase during the first two weeks of class. Barnes & Noble began piloting their rental program earlier this year at 25 campus bookstores across the country. 2 Truman Review
A Team Effort In April, the Truman Equestrian Program qualified the entire team of riders for the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA) nationals, a first in the 15-plus-year history of the program. The team qualified for zones competition by beating out the 15 other hunt seat teams in the region over the course of the season to win the Zone 9 Region 2 championship. At zones competition, Truman scored 44 points, finishing second behind St. Mary of the Woods College with 48 points and ahead of University of Minnesota- Crookston with 36 points. At nationals in May, the team put in solid rides. Jane Rademacher placed 9th team in walk/trot equitation, Danielle Witt placed 9th team walk/trot/canter equitation and Amanda Brehm placed 8th in team novice equitation on the flat. “We had a great time and are looking forward to hopefully going back next year,” said Emily Costello (’07), coach of the Truman Equestrian Team. The IHSA is made up of more than 350 teams and 8,500 riders from throughout the United States and parts of Canada and was founded as a way to give collegiate equestrian athletes of all experience levels the opportunity to compete. Campus Projects Along with a new addition to the Pershing Building, several other campus projects are under way this summer, most notably the demolition of the Department of Public Safety Building and parts of the Grim-Smith Building. Portions of the north side of the Grim-Smith Building will be demolished, and a new facade and entrance on the north side is scheduled for completion in November. The open space created will be landscaped and will feature new walkways and stairs to the north side entrance. The Grim-Smith Building has already received some minor interior renovations and the Department of Public Safety (DPS) has relocated to offices on the first floor of the building. The former DPS building, located north of the Student Recreation Center, is scheduled for demolition in August, and the area will be used as green space. In addition to offices, DPS now has a garage area and storage in Grim-Smith. continued on next page Photo above: Department of Public Safety Building Photo on left: The Truman Equestrian Team at Dassenbrook Stables in Maple Park, Ill., during zones competition on April 11, 2010.
