College Participates in MSU’s Popular GRANDPARENTS UNIVERSITY Grandparents and their grandchildren have the opportunity to share a unique educational experience through their participation in Grandparents University, a unique three-day program that brings them together to take special classes and get the full college experience by living in a dorm on campus. Grandparents University has already seen a great deal of popularity. The 2006 program filled completely within the first two weeks of being advertised, and the 2007 program (which more than doubled its capacity to accommodate more participants) has already sold out, with 522 attending. The program, which runs from June 27–29, is a campus-wide collaboration, offering courses in several departments. For the first time this summer, the College of Education will participate with such programs as Our World: A Virtual Exploration and About Me: A 21st Century Profile, both taught by Scott Schopieray, the assistant director of the Center for Teaching and Technology. The college is offering four additional programs: Chinese Language and Culture Experience, taught by Assistant Professor Dongping Zheng and Visiting Research Associate Chun Lai; Getting Everyone Involved: Soccer for Children with and without Disabilities, taught by Kinesiology Professor Gail Dummer and Lissa Alexander, a kinesiology graduate student; Exercise and Your Heart: What Happens and How It Works! taught by Lanay Mudd, a kinesiology graduate student; and Cross Cultural Encounters, taught by Associate Professor Elizabeth Heilman. Other participants include the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, College of Natural Science, College of Arts and Letters, College of Communication Arts and Sciences, College of Social Science, Honors College, MSU Extension and the School of Packaging. Participants stay in Holmes Hall on campus and eat in the Holmes cafeteria. They pick four 90-minute classes to take, and evening activities are offered after dinner. Organized by the alumni relations staff of the participating colleges, the program is funded solely by registration fees. The cost for each adult is $299, and $239 for each child, with scholarships offered to lessen expenses. 4 new educator
upfront Buy a Bagel, Help a Student The addition of the Sparty’s coffee shop on the first floor of Erickson Hall brought more than hot lattes, warm soups, fresh salads and a sense of comfort during the winter chill. It also brought $10,000 in profits, all of which was used to fund scholarships for the college. spring 2007 5
