Academics e|É ZÜtÇwxËá ZÉtÄ‹ The Graduate Program The Master of Education in Classroom Teaching experienced its eleventh year of continuous growth by attracting and serving more students in several locations around Ohio. ▼ The concentration in fine arts is available with courses on-line and in Hamilton, Chillicothe, Portsmouth, Columbus and Rio Grande (OH). Plans are underway to offer fine arts courses in Toledo beginning this year. The intervention specialist concentration is also offered in Portsmouth and Rio Grande. ▼ New concentrations in humanities and educational technology are meeting the needs of public school teachers in our region. Other program offerings and international partnerships are also being explored. ▼ More professional development workshops for teachers are being offered through the area Education Service Centers and Regional Professional Development Centers. ▼ Travel to cultural centers is an essential part of the program. Groups traveled to New York City and New Orleans-Oregon (following the footsteps of Lewis and Clark). Future trips to China, Ireland and Wales are being planned. ▼ The University of Rio Grande Graduate Program received a Governor’s Award for Partnerships in the Arts. The Governor’s Award is a statewide program that showcases and celebrates Ohio artists, arts organizations, arts patrons and business support of the arts. SOCCO Miners County Community Action Agency received a grant to support the miners’ education and training. While Rio’s efforts did not yield large numbers of students, the students who attended Rio Grande performed well academically. During Fall Semester 2001, 38 miners and 8 spouses were enrolled, maintaining an overall GPA of 3.42. 125th Anniversary Celebration The University celebrated its 125th Anniversary with a special convocation on September 13, 2001, the anniversary date of the first classes. The theme was “Rio Grande: Still Changing Lives After 125 Years.” The guest speaker was Dr. Roderick G. W. Chu, Chancellor of the Ohio Board of Regents. The yearlong celebration of Rio Grande’s 125th Anniversary ended with the dedication of the Alumni Memorial Bell Tower and the Bell Tower Ball on November 3, 2001. The dedication and ball were originally scheduled to occur in September, but were postponed following the tragedy of September 11. The University of Rio Grande and Rio Grande Community College expended significant effort to enroll displaced Southern Ohio Coal Company employees and their spouses this year.
