<strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">Dear DU Faculty:</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: x-small;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">You already should have received the guidelines for submitting curriculum proposals to the University Curriculum Committee. Attached are the two forms, along with the PowerPoint presentation we were unable to make during Faculty Retreat yesterday. (The forms are the same as last year, with only the deadline changed.)</span></strong><br />
<strong><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">Reminder: Proposals should be submitted ONE WEEK prior to the meetings so if you have your items prepared, please send now for consideration at the Jan. 17 meeting. Digital copies of all paperwork should be sent to curriculumcommittee@dillard.edu .</span></strong><br />
<strong><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"></span></strong><br />

<strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">Wednesday, January 4, 2012</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">12:00 PM CST</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">Stephanie Chasteen, University of Colorado Boulder </span></strong><a href="http://sciencegeekgirl.com/"><strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">http://sciencegeekgirl.com/</span></strong></a><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">In this interactive webinar, we'll explore tips and ideas for incorporating clickers into your particular class. Clickers offer a powerful way to increase student engagement and improve learning. At the University of Colorado, we have transformed our classrooms by using clickers to promote peer instruction. We'll discuss best-practices based on research, as well as common challenges reported by instructors. In particular, we'll focus on the attributes of "great" clicker questions, discuss example questions, and share ideas on facilitating effective wrap-up discussions once all the votes are in.</span></strong><br />

Welcome to My Resource Cloud Why is it 'My' Resource Cloud? <br />
The concept behind My Resource Cloud is that each educator tailors interactive content to suit the needs of their own learners. Thus increasing enjoyment, allowing for greater individual expression and, above all, making the work of the educator easier and more effective.<br />
<br />
•My Resource Cloud consists of a number of resource sections: My Language Cloud, My Math(s) Cloud, My Science Cloud and My ICT Cloud.<br />
<br />
•My Resource Cloud content and interactivity becomes individual to the users and their students. It is a Cloud Learning Environment (CLE), providing a conceptual bridge for learners between formal education and the personal web. <br />
<br />
•My Resource Cloud allows users to integrate web, printed, mobile and social media based technologies to help motivate learners.<br />
<br />
•Complementary and premium content and services can easily be added and subtracted.<br />
<br />
•Once you select content and interactive ellements you are free to use these with ALL your students.<br />
<br />
•Open and closed social media integration can be easily tailored to your own needs.<br />
<br />
•Enables a tailored learning enviroment where the educator can choose their own blend that fits.<br />

<u><span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>The Times-Picayune</strong></span></u><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>The FBI has arrested a Loyola University student suspected of threatening to blow up a building on the Uptown campus, apparently to avoid taking a test.

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Some of his Chemistry 101 students sat in the back of the lecture hall and spaced out. Others simply left class as they pleased. "Maybe you're just not a good teacher," his department head said when LaCourse sought advice.</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>His ego would not tolerate that as a final answer. So the University of Maryland, Baltimore County professor decided to put up a fight.

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>The federal AIM Commission this week posted recommendations for improving accessibility in higher education, among them the recommendation for mandatory, system-wide faculty orientation programs concerning accessibility "in all aspects of the education enterprise, including readings, courseware and instructional technology, assessments and instructor-made materials."</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>The Advisory Commission on Accessible Instructional Materials in Postsecondary Education for Students with Disabilities ( <a href="http://www2.ed.gov/about/bdscomm/list/aim/index.html">http://www2.ed.gov/about/bdscomm/list/aim/index.html</a> ) -- known more colloquially as the AIM Commission--was established for the purpose of making recommendations to Congress and the United States Secretary of Education for improving the state of accessible educational resources for students with disabilities, to improve the effective use of those resources, to identify best practices in the use of accessible materials, and to support model demonstration programs. The commission's membership includes academic, corporate, non-profit, and government leaders.</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Following a 14-month review of the state of accessibility in higher education, the group issued several findings on the shortcomings of accessibility in education in its final report, along with 18 recommendations for overcoming some of those problems. Those recommendations fell into five broad areas: policy and the law, market, technology, capacity-building, and discretionary investments in demonstration projects. ***<u>MORE***</u></strong></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Puzzling over the arcana of the TEACH Act [Technology, Education, and Copyright Harmonization Act, 2002], more than a few university administrators will be reminded of the minutiae of the tax code. To be sure, copyright law needs to be reconceptualized for the new millennium. Libraries and universities are witnessing a sea change from an earlier era of historical development. Definitions of copyright, technology, and the online classroom need to be recast or the laws become peripheral in handling digital copyright questions that increasingly arise. Recent cases represent the widespread confusion among players. Various strong opposing debates regarding streaming media and the TEACH Act illustrate these facts well. [For examples in the education media read Steve Kolowich’s article, “Hitting Pause on Class Videos,” Inside Higher Ed, January 26, 2010, or his more recent article, “Stream Away,” also in Inside Higher Ed, October 5, 2011.] ***<u>MORE***</u></strong></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>SEF is pleased to announce that we are co-sponsoring an important online conversation with Getting Past Go, Project PREPARE at the University of Massachusetts Boston, and Knowledge in the Public Interest.</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>The Issue: Although MSIs have participated in the national conversations on developmental education, they have not been a focus of the discussion. However, recent research shows that MSI's use effective assessment, placement, and support practices that lead to success for students.</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>The Goal: This Jam will bring practitioners together to share practices and explore the unique challenges facing MSI's. We hope to identify successful practices while understanding their institutional context, to uncover evidence of effectiveness, and potentially to develop an agenda for collaboration on improving outcomes for students.</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>The Opportunity: Please join this important conversation on January 10th and ask your colleagues to do so as well. A JAM is an online, text-based discussion that is moderated by experts in the field. The Jam will take place from 11:00am to 6:00 pm EDT and you can participate whenever your schedule allows.</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>The Outcome: A JAM Report, a network of people with shared purpose, valuable resources, and the groundwork for future work on policy and practice . The JAM Report will be published and highlight key findings and promising practices based on an analysis of the exchange.</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>To Register: Click Here... You will receive the link to the JAM site, your username and password in early January. We invite a diverse group of participants from all levels and departments from your institution, so please feel free to share this email and the registration link with others.</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Who Should Participate: College and university presidents, provosts, faculty, academic and student affairs staff.</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>A JAM is asynchronous, so you can come into the discussion when you can, and come and go as your time allows.</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Questions: If you have any questions about the JAM, please contact Lisa Levinson at Knowledge in the Public Interest or Dr. Tara Parker at ProjectPREPARE, University of Massachusetts, Boston.</strong></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>December 12, 2011</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Dear Members of the Dillard Community:</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>I am proud to announce the appointment of two new members to Dillard University’s Board of Trustees: Dr. Ruth J. Simmons, president of Brown University, and Mr. Ronald V. Burns Sr., president and CEO of BMG Enterprises.</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Ruth J. Simmons has served as president of Brown University since July 3, 2001 and plans to step down from that position at the end of the 2011-2012 academic year. She holds an appointment as professor in the Department of Comparative Literature and the Department of Africana Studies. She was president of Smith College from 1995 until the time of her appointment at Brown.</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>A native of Texas and a 1967 graduate of Dillard University, Simmons received her Ph.D. in Romance languages and literatures from Harvard University in 1973. She was recently appointed by President Obama as a member of the President’s Commission on White House Fellowships. She has earned numerous awards throughout her storied career in academia, including the German DAAD, a Fulbright Fellowship to France and the Centennial Medal from Harvard University. In 2001, Time Magazine named her America’s best college president. In 2007, she was named one of US. News & World Report’s top U.S. leaders.</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Ronald V. Burns Sr. is president and CEO of BMG Enterprises, a diverse corporation consisting of Quick Courier Services, Inc., Burns Management Group and Global Parking Systems. Burns graduated from Dillard University in 1973 with a B.S. in Accounting. In 1974, Mr. Burns assumed the position of vice president and internal auditor with Liberty Bank and Trust Company, which he held until 1984.</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>In 1984, Burns founded Quick Courier Services, Inc., a same-day expedited delivery and logistics service. He is active in the Messenger Courier Association of America, and in 1992 he was elected as its first African-American board member. In 1992, he started Burns Management Group, a consulting firm with an emphasis on business development and government relationships. In 1993, he founded Global Parking Systems, a parking management company with offices in Louisiana, Texas, Indiana and California. Their clients include the Louis Armstrong International Airport and the Los Angeles International Airport.</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>I am very excited to welcome these two stellar individuals to Dillard University’s Board of Trustees. Between their appointment and the recent announcement of Dr. Walter Kimbrough as our next president, it is a very exciting time at Fair Dillard.</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Happy Holidays,</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /><strong></strong></span><br />

<br /><u><span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>November 17, 2011</strong></span></u><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Groups representing a coalition of more than 100 colleges and universities are fighting to persuade Congress and its deficit-reducing "Super Committee" not to cut $85 million or more in federal funding for the colleges and their students. </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>The coalition consists of the National Association for Equal Opportunity In Higher Education, the Thurgood Marshall College Fund and UNCF (United Negro College Fund). These organizations, which collectively represent the 105 Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and 50 Predominantly Black Institutions (PBIs), are opposing proposals that will cut federal funds to HBCUs by $85 million or more and would zero out support for PBIs. </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>The proposed funding cuts would come on top of $30 million in cuts already made in HBCU funding.</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>The colleges face a double-barreled threat. Funding cuts could be contained in the Super Committee recommendations or made through the normal appropriations process for the current fiscal year. The three organizations support funding levels contained in an appropriations bill passed by a Senate Appropriations Committee for the departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education. They oppose the sharply lower levels proposed by House appropriators.</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>"The colleges that would have to absorb these cuts serve students who employers are counting on as the next generation of engineers, scientists, teachers, doctors and nurses," said Michael L. Lomax, UNCF president and CEO. "Their education is being threatened at the worst possible time – in the midst of an economic downturn that is already making it hard for them to stay in school and graduate."</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>"In addition to the students they educate, they impact more than 180,000 jobs, including professors, counselors, staff members and others,” Thurgood Marshall College Fund president and CEO Johnny C. Taylor Jr. said. </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>“Local businesses and national companies depend on the money that the colleges, their employees, and students spend. Their total economic impact is estimated at over $13 billion." </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>The coalition seeks to rally students, alumni, faculty, staff, administrators and all supporters of HBCUs and PBIs to get their U.S. Senators and U.S. Representatives to persuade the Super Committee members not to cut the deficit by disinvesting in higher education. The Super Committee has until November 23 to submit recommended budget reductions and revenue increases. </strong></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Professional writers, whether in academic or industry, often live or die by the pen. As a graduate student, you are no doubt discovering that your professional survival depends on your ability to communicate with others about what you know and how you have learned it. Your writing will eventually be competing with that of others who have the same aspirations as you do?for jobs, grants and fellowships, and publication in peer-reviewed journals. </strong></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Your ability to exchange ideas, collaborate with others, and ultimately succeed hinges on the ability to write effectively. Here are some timeless tips, straight from the pens of the world?s most renowned authors, to help you develop both style and substance. </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong><u>1. OMIT THE BORING PARTS </u></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>I try to leave out the parts that people skip. ~Elmore Leonard </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Have something to say, and say it as clearly as you can. That is the only secret. ~Matthew Arnold </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Say all you have to say in the fewest possible words, or your reader will be sure to skip them; and in the plainest possible words or he will certainly misunderstand them. ~John Ruskin </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Try to always write with your readers in mind. What do they need to know and want to know? If you have nothing to say, or what you say has no meaning for the reader, there is no point in writing it. </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong><u>2. ELIMINATE UNNECESSARY WORDS </u></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>I believe more in the scissors than I do in the pencil. ~Truman Capote </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Substitute damn every time you?re inclined to write very. Your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be. ~Mark Twain </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>The road to hell is paved with adverbs. ~Stephen King </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Don?t be fooled into believing that words like really, actually, or extremely make writing more forceful. They don?t ? they just get in the way. Cut them and never look back. </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong><u>3. KEEP IT SIMPLE </u></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>When you wish to instruct, be brief; that men?s minds take in quickly what you say, learn its lesson, and retain it faithfully. Every word that is unnecessary only pours over the side of a brimming mind. ~Cicero </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Vigorous writing is concise. ~William Strunk Jr. </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Maybe it was all those late nights as an undergraduate struggling to fill out mandatory ten-page papers that made us think the only worthwhile writing is long and drawn out. While it?s more difficult to express yourself in the simplest possible manner, it?s so much more effective. More work for you means less work for your reader. </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong><u>4. LET CRITICISM GUIDE YOU </u></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>You have to know how to accept rejection and reject acceptance. ~Ray Bradbury </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>You must keep sending work out; you must never let a manuscript do nothing but eat its head off in a drawer. You send that work out again and again, while you?re working on another one. If you have talent, you will receive some measure of success - but only if you persist. ~Isaac Asimov </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Engrave this in your brain: <u>EVERY WRITER GETS REJECTED</u>. You will be no different. ~John Scalzi </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Writing means putting yourself at the mercy of others who may not always say nice things about what you write. Learn to make the most of the insults and accept the praise with a dose of skepticism. Use the criticism from others to improve and strengthen your writing. Foster a relationship with a good editor?one who knows sound writing and isn?t afraid to teach as s/he critiques. </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong><u>5. WRITE A LOT, ALL OF THE TIME </u></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Quantity produces quality. If you only write a few things, you?re doomed. ~Ray Bradbury </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>By writing much, one learns to write well. ~ Robert Southey </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>For many writers, it?s hard to know where to begin. So forget about beginning?just write. Keep a journal to make notes and observations about your research and your reading. Comment on ideas you hear from others. Critique presentations you hear at conferences. And take every opportunity to write wherever you find one. </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong><u>6. WRITE WHAT YOU KNOW </u></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>The best way to have a good idea is to have lots of ideas. ~ Linus Pauling </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>If any man wish to write in a clear style, let him be first clear in his thoughts; and if any would write in a noble style, let him first possess a noble soul. ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Learn as much by writing as by reading. ~Lord Acton </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Successful writing is all about trust and authority. It makes sense to write about your area of expertise. If you don?t have an expertise, reading and writing is the best way to develop one and put it on display. </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong><u>7. TAKE A CHANCE - DON'T ALWAYS PLAY IT SAFE </u></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Zest. Gusto. How rarely one hears these words used. How rarely do we see people living, or for that matter, creating by them. Yet if I were asked to name the most important items in a writer?s make-up, the things that shape his material and rush him along the road to where he wants to go, I could only warn him to look to his zest, see to his gusto. ~Ray Bradbury </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Get it down. Take chances. It may be bad, but it?s the only way you can do anything really good. ~William Faulkner </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Doing what worked once will only get you so far. Experiment with new styles, even if it means taking criticism. Without moving forward, you?ll be left behind. </strong></span><br />
