Douglas W. McMillen, Associate Dean COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS AND SCIENCES ANNUAL REPORT January 1 -December 31, 2006
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences individual faculty and program accomplishments in 2006 were outstanding. As this report chronicles, College faculty engaged in substantial amounts of scholarly activity, publishing 6 books, 62 refereed journal articles or book chapters, and 31 articles in conference proceedings. Faculty received external grant funding totaling more than $500,000. In addition, the faculty provided quality teaching to our students as well as significant and important service to the College, campus, university, local community, and beyond. More than 58% of the total campus student credit hours in fall 2006 were in Liberal Arts and Sciences courses, and the average enrollment was high (25 .5 students per section). College faculty members have been leaders in the development of courses to support the campus general education curriculum.
We added six faculty members to the Professor rank: Gretchen Anderson, Peter Bushnell, Linda Chen, Frank Fujita, Paul Herr, and Tom Mawhinney; three new members to the tenured Associate Professor rank: Catherine Borshuk, Rebecca Brittenham, and Deborah Marr; and John Davis to the rank of Senior Lecturer. Jerry Hinnefeld received an IU South Bend Distinguished Research Award, and De Bryant was selected as the Lundquist Fellow. Patricia Lewis was named as the first recipient of the IU South Bend Associate Faculty Distinguished Teaching Award. We had four new inductees into FACET: Rebecca Brittenham, Ann Grens, Jerry Hinnefeld, and Elaine Roth; and nine recipients of Trustees' Teaching Awards. Bill Knight received the Outstanding Advisor Award. In 2006 we welcomed 24 new full-time faculty members, including 6 new assistant professors. Seven faculty members retired in 2006 (Bill Frascella, Larry Garber, Paul Herr, Gerry Huitink, Bill Knight, Les Lamon, and Tom Mawhinney).
Many College faculty members actively involve undergraduate students in their research. In 2006, 13 students were listed as co-authors on 8 refereed j oumal articles. One of these articles by Sabrina Huggins (physics student) with Henry Scott as lead author was highlighted on the home page of the Carnegie/DOE Academic Alliance (CDAC), http://cdac.gl.ciw.edu/. In addition, 23 students presented or co-presented 19 separate papers at professional meetings. There were 14 SMART awards to CLAS students.
The College faces a number of challenges including low average faculty salaries and a relatively high dependence on part-time faculty. We hope to enhance the educational experiences of our students beyond the classroom by engaging more of them in research, in study abroad and Freedom Summer type courses, in community activism through the American Democracy Project and other programs, and in service learning and internship opportunities. We must find additional ways to help our students learn and to improve the likelihood that they will be academically successful. With the leadership of our Chancellor and our Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, we will continue to work for the improvement of IU South Bend and the students we serve.

NACEP accreditation was the culmination of a year's worth of work on the part of the IU South Bend ACP Director, with support from ACP faculty liaisons, ACP Secretary Teresa Andrade, and personnel from the IU South Bend Office of Institutional Research. With NACEP accreditation, IU South Bend ACP regained its vote in NACEP. NACEP accreditation also means that IU South Bend ACP is now accredited independently of IU Bloomington ACP. At the NACEP Annual Conference in October 2006, Mary Anna C. Dimitrakopoulos was appointed Chair of the NACEP Membership Committee by NACEP President Dianne Siegfreid, Weber State University, Ogden, UT. IU South Bend ACP created a new partnership with the E. M. Raclin School of the Arts. New ACP courses now offered are FINA A109 Visual Literacy: Ways of Seeing; FINA F100 Fundamentals of Studio-Drawing; and SPCH S 121 Public Speaking. Area high schools new to the ACP program in 2006-2007 were: Bremen, LaPorte, and New Prairie. IU South Bend ACP has already seen a surge of interest from Fort Wayne area high schools for 2007-2008 at Lakeland in LaGrange, IN and Dekalb in Waterloo, IN. South Bend's Washington High School is new to IU South Bend ACP for Fall2007 in EDUC F200 Examining the Teacher as Self.

Three members of the Biology Department were recognized by their colleagues for outstanding contributions to our campus. Dr. Deb Marr received tenure and promotion to Associate Professor, Dr. Peter Bushnell was promoted to Professor, and Dr. Ann Grens was elected to the Faculty Colloquium for Excellence in Teaching. Enrollment in various facets of the Biology program (Biology major's, pre-professional programs, etc.) remained healthy. The number of biology majors stood at about 300, with 13 of them graduating in 2006. The Biology faculty were, again, very active in the scholarship arena. Dr. Murli Nair was awarded a $628,000 NSF grant ("Sequence and structural patterns in RNA") as well as a Faculty Research Grant. Dr. Schnabel continued work on his multi-year NSF grant to study pollination in African acacia trees and was made a member of the Editorial Board for the Journal of Plant Research. Finally, members of the Biology Department published seven research articles in peer-reviewed journals and made a total of nine presentations at local and national meetings. In keeping with the department's commitment to provide research opportunities for undergraduate students, approximately 19 students participated in departmental research projects this year. IUSB undergraduates appeared as co-authors on one publications in professional, peer reviewed journals, and delivered 4 oral and poster presentations at meetings which included: the Entomological Society of America Meeting ~ndianapolis, IN), the Indiana Microscopy Society Spring meeting (South Bend, IN),and the 20 National Conference on Undergraduate Research (North Carolina).

COMPUTER AND INFORMATION SCIENCES Hossein Hakimzadeh, Chair Chair's Remarks 2006 marked the retirement of Dr. William J. Knight. During his 20 years of teaching at IU South Bend Dr. Knight was a central figure in the development of every aspect of the computer science department. Aside from his complete devotion to teaching, he skillfully led the department from 1993 to 1999 and laid the foundation for a quality computer science program. From 1999 to 2006 he served as the associate chair, helping develop and implement a number of major initiatives in the department. During Professor Knight's tenure at IU, the department grew from 5 to 10 faculty members, developed a new B.S. in Informatics and a joint M.S. program with the department of Mathematical Sciences. Dr. Knight was a mentor to hundreds of computer science students. His detailed and meticulous lecture notes in data structures and analysis of algorithms are widely used by both new and experienced faculty. The department will surely feel the void created by his retirement. Pursuing our goal to refine and expand our graduate and undergraduate programs in computer science and informatics, the department was pleased to welcome Dr. Raman Adaikkalavan to our department. Dr. Adaikkalavan specializes in Computer Security and holds a doctorate in computer science and engineering from University of Texas at Arlington. Our enrollment in computer science and informatics continued to be healthy. Enrollment was approximately 200 undergraduates in computer science and informatics and about 30 graduate students pursuing their MS degrees in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science . . In 2006, with the support of our college, the department was able to renovate and reequip two of its laboratories. To honor our·emeritus faculty, these two labs were named the "John P. Russo" and the "William J. Knight" laboratories. During 2006, our faculty remained active in their research, teaching and service to the university. The faculty published their research in more than 25 journal articles and conference proceedings. The faculty were also active in grantsmanship. Dr. Murli Nair received a NSF grant, Dr. Mike Scheessele received a Travel Grant, Dr. James Wolfer received a UCET/FACET Faculty Development Grant and an Assessment Grant, Dr. Knight received an assessment grant, Dr. Liqiang Zhang received a Faculty Research Grant, and Dr. Hakimzadeh received funding from a Lilly Foundation Grant and an Assessment Grant. The department also received a McGraw-Hill Equipment Grant. Also in 2006, the department initiated its seven-year self-study and review process. We obtained an assessment grant to invite a nationally recognized external reviewer to perform our 7-year review. We further chose to be reviewed under the stringent ABET accreditation criteria. We felt that augmenting the seven-year external review process by inviting a nationally experienced reviewer would strengthen our department's posture toward ABET accreditation, define CLAS 2006 College Annual Report 3 7 II directions for future departmental goals, and identify the strengths and weaknesses of our current II assessment program against national norms. This, in turn, would help to ensure a first-class, systematic, and continuous process of improvement for our constituents. .. The department continued to be active in its outreach mission. Examples of such activity include faculty and student volunteering efforts to provide expertise to our local and regional non-profit II organizations; increased interaction with local and regional K -12 educational institutions; internships and professional practice; increased course offerings for non-majors and community members; increased departmental sponsorship of public presentations; development of stronger II relationships with our alumni; and the creation of endowments and scholarships in computer science. ..

CLAS 2006 College Annual Report 49 II ENGLISH II Margaret C. Scanlan, Chair .. Chair's Remarks .. In spring 2006 the department interviewed three candidates for assistant professor in eighteenth- century British literature and three candidates for assistant professor of creative writing/fiction. Both searches were successful, and in the fall the department welcomed Lee Kahan, a new Ph.D . .. in eighteenth-century literature from SUNY/Buffalo, and Kelsey Parker, a new Ph.D. in creative writing from the University of Cincinnati. In early summer, the department searched for several lecturers. Anne Magnan-Park, whose Ph.D. is from the Universite de Rennes in France, was .. selected as Director of ESL, replacing Suzanne Meyer, who resigned. Sally Smits, a new M.F.A. from the University of North Carolina Wilmington who previously earned an M.A.T. at Johns II Hopkins, was hired as a new lecturer in composition. Sarah LaDow, a Ph.D. candidate at Purdue, was appointed to a one-year lectureship in composition, as was Diane Persin, who received her master's degree from the University of Notre Dame. Jeff Rhyne, assistant professor II of American literature, resigned over the summer and in the fall a search committee consisting of Margaret Scanlan, Jim Blodgett, Karen Gindele, Eileen Bender, and Otis Grant (Sociology) began looking for a replacement. II In spring 2006, Elaine Roth was selected for FACET. In the fall, Ken Smith was named editor of a national journal, Confluence: The Journal of Graduate Liberal Studies, the journal of the II Association of Graduate Liberal Studies Programs. Margaret Scanlan's Culture and Customs of Ireland was published by Greenwood Press; Anne Magnan-Park's Electrique Cite, a book of short stories by the Maori writer Patricia Grace translated and edited with Jean Anderson, was II published by Au Vent des lies. David Dodd Lee, an associate faculty member, was editor of Shade 2006, an anthology of recent writing published by Four Way Books. Lily Hoang, an associate faculty member, won a prize from Chiasmus Press, which subsequently published her II Parabola: A Novel in Twenty-one Intersections. Kirsten Lunstrum, another member of the associate faculty, published a story collection called The Life She 's Chosen with Chronicle Books. II Lee Kahan organized an English Club in fall 2006. The group, which elected Terry Vega president, sponsored discussions and attendance at a professional production of Hamlet. The II departmental Creative Writing committee sponsored a readings series: visitors coming to read in 2006 included George Kalamaras, Mike Barrett, Jack Ridl, and Bonnie Jo Campbell, who read from her short story collection at the Wolfson Literary Awards ceremony in April and also II served as judge for the competition. Departmental writers David Dodd Lee, Sally Smits, and Kirsten L unstrum also gave readings from their work. II Rebecca Brittenham served as Director of First-Year Writing in spring 2006; Ken Smith became Acting Director of Writing when she went on sabbatical in July. Nancy Botkin continued to II serve as associate director of the writing program. In February, Laura Micciche of the University of Cincinnati gave a workshop "Teaching Grammar as Invention and Analysis."

CLAS 2006 College Annual Report 60 HISTORY Monica Tetzlaff, Chair (Spring) Isabel O'Connor, Chair (Fall) Chair's Remarks The year 2006 brought many exciting changes to the History Department. We welcomed Mr. Benjamin Fitzpatrick as a two-year Visiting Lecturer. Ben is pursuing his Ph.D. at the University of Notre Dame in slavery in the Antebellum Bluegrass Region. In the Fall 2006, both Dr. Jonathan Nashel and Dr. Yosuke Nirei were on leave pursuing their research interests. Dr. Kevin Smant was hired as Visiting Assistant Professor to teach American history. Finally, after a long and distinguished career at IU South Bend, Dr. Les Lamon retired in December 2006. He spent the Fall semester at the University of Ulster at Magee, while Dr. James McConnel, a specialist in modern British history at Magee, taught at IU South Bend. There were administrative changes as well. In July 2006, Dr. Monica Tetzlaff took over as director of the Civil Rights Heritage Center, while Dr. Isabel O'Connor became Department Chair. The History faculty continued to actively pursue their strong interest in research and scholarship. The History faculty presented multiple papers at top international, national and local conferences, with venues ranging from Japan, Korea, Atlanta and Boston. Dr. Dmitry Shlapentokh published a book titled Proto-Totalitarian State: Punishment and Control in Absolutist Regimes, as well as an article in Russian on Jews and Muslims in Russia in Asian Affairs. Dr. Hayley Froysland's chapter on "The regeneraci6n de la raza in Colombia" in Don Doyle and Marco Pamplona, eds., Nationalism in the New World, will be translated into Portuguese and Spanish and published in Brazil and Argentina respectively. Other faculty members published several book reviews, as well as some articles in non-refereed journals. Finally, several faculty members who had research projects underway received both internal and external funding totaling $18,000. History faculty continued to provide service to the campus, the university and the local community. History faculty were actively engaged in the governance of the following programs: the African American Studies minor (Dr. Tetzlaff), the European Studies minor (Dr. Zwicker), the Latin American Studies minor (Dr. Froysland), the Religious Studies minor (Dr. O'Connor and Dr. Shlapentokh), and the Women's Studies major (Dr. O'Connor and Dr. Zwicker). Finally, in the Summer 2006, Dr. Tetzlaff led the Freedom Summer Tour of Civil Rights sites in the South. The twenty students who participated in the program reported that it was "a life changing experience." In addition to the Freedom Summer Tour, the Civil Rights Heritage Center continued to offer a variety of outreach efforts, such as the Leadership Academy and the Twenty-First Century Scholars Citizenship Enhancement program.

The department completed its comprehensive self-study report and .conducted a successful external program review. The faculty has begun to discuss and implement changes based on suggestions made by the external program evaluator. The department also offered its first ever Dorothy Allen Memorial Mathematics Scholarship to an international student. The department continues to enjoy a healthy balance in its foundation account and has implemented new policies to use the foundation funds to supplement faculty research related travels and to cover fee expenses related to Actuarial Exams and Graduate Record Exams for Mathematics students. The Mathematics faculty continued to actively pursue their research interests and to make contributions to the mathematics profession. Several faculty members served as members of the editorial boards for professional journals, many faculty have actively refereed articles for journals in our disciplines and several faculty members have served as external reviewers for tenure and promotion cases. Our faculty continued to provide good service to the university and local community. Five faculty members served as faculty adviser at the new student orientations and three faculty members advised undecided students throughout the year. The Mathematics faculty served on many important university committees and the department successfully hosted our 2ih anniversary High School Mathematics Contest to 150 area high school students. In looking to the future, I hope we see the campus budget situation improve so that faculty and staff will receive raises that are closer to market range. This is needed so that their excellent work in teaching, research, and service can be rewarded more fairly.

CLAS 2006 College Annual Report 77 II PHILOSOPHY • Louise Collins, Chair • Chair's Remarks II All three of our May 2006 philosophy graduates are pursuing further education: two have been accepted into well-regarded philosophy Master's programs and one into law school. In spring, 6 of our majors were on the Deans' Honors list and in fall, 7 philosophy majors achieved the same distinction. In May, 2006, Mike Campbell won the Philosophy Excellence award for the second • time, an unprecedented achievement. Our Addison Locke Roache Memorial Fund ("Philosophy Day") speaker in Feb 2006 was Dr. • Charles Taileferro, of St. Olaf's College, who gave a well-received public lecture entitled "The Importance of Being Conscious: A Presentation on Minds & Machines." Also in the spring, we enjoyed a brown bag presentation by Dr. Gary Hatfield, "On Consciousness & Qualia." Both of • these events were planned to complement the IUSB General Education theme of "Mutable Bodies," and Dr. Zynda also gave a presentation in the related campus lecture series. • In 2006, philosophy faculty continued to be active in their research and grant activity. In addition to developing publications, grant proposals and conference presentations, philosophy faculty contributed to their scholarly fields by serving as editors and referees for academic • journals, as well as by chairing sessions at academic conferences and serving our professional organizations. • Dr. Zynda served as a research mentor to two students by chairing one MLS thesis committee and advising one honors thesis. In addition, philosophy faculty supported student success by volunteering for New Student Orientations, as well as advising our own majors and minors. Dr. • Shrader served as faculty advisor to the Philosophy Club, and Dr. Collins, to New Views on Gender. • Almost every member of the department served on significant and time-consuming committees. .. For example, Mike served on the Senate Research & Development committee, JR served on two Senate committees and the CLAS budget committee, Louise coordinated the process of revising the CLAS BA degree, and Lyle was deeply involved with the campus reaccreditation process. • The Department's major project for fall2006 was to launch searches for 2 tenure track positions in Philosophy, to replace our colleagues Dr. Mike Washburn and Dr. Diana Fleming. Philosophy .. searches are very labor-intensive, and we are most grateful to colleagues across the campus for their help in successfully completing both searches in spring 2007. .. ..

Hinnefeld, Chair Chair's Remarks The activities and honors listed on the following pages reveal a department with a strong and uniform commitment to teaching, research, and service. A few of these items, and also some activities that do not appear in the list, are worthy of special attention. In the area of research, the NSF grant awarded to Ilan Levine and the PRF award to Henry Scott are indicative of the quality and significance of their work, as are Rolf Schimmrigk's invitations to present talks at Canada's prestigious Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, at the University of Hannover (Germany), and at the Banff International Research Institute. All of the department's tenure-line faculty members continue to be actively and productively engaged in • research in their respective fields. Teaching, in a variety of forms, also continues to be a strength of this department. Several of our students, inspired by their experience in Rolfs course, Techniques of Theoretical Physics, during Fall 2005, persuaded Rolf to offer similarly formal courses in each semester of 2006- General Relativity in the Spring semester and String Theory in the Fall. It is unusual to find complete courses on either of these topics offered at the undergraduate level, and developing them was a major effort on Rolfs part . Listed below are seven presentations by undergraduate students from our department at professional meetings, which illustrate the importance we attach to undergraduate participation in research. Again, every tenure-line faculty member in the department regularly participates in • this research mentoring. We also recognize academic advising as a component of successful · teaching, and again our participation in this activity illustrates our commitment. Each of our six full-time faculty members participated as an academic advisor for at least one NSO in 2006, and • in total we participated 15 times, or 2.5 times per faculty member! Our commitment in this area is in part due to the example of Monika Lynker, who was appointed Director of the CLAS • Advising Center in 2006. Service to the university, outreach to the community, and service to our disciplines are also amply documented in the listings below. Finally, we were fortunate to celebrate a number of professional milestones and awards during 2006. Henry Scott was promoted to associate professor, with tenure, Jerry Hinnefeld received the 2006 IUSB Distinguished Research Award, and Jerry also joined Monika Lynker as a • member ofFACET. • • CLAS 2006 College Annual Report 83 • • SCHOLARSHIP • Print or electronic refereed journal articles, book chapters, and creative works published Monika Lynker and Rolf Schimmrigk Geometric Kac-Moody modularity.

He replaced Paul Herr who retired in the spring. Gabriel teaches courses in political geography, economic geography and world geography. A native of Romania, he specializes in the political geography of border regions of former communist states and regions. In spring 2006, Linda Chen was on sabbatical and throughout 2006, Neovi Karakatsanis was on leave. Steven Gerencser served as acting chair during spring 2006. During Fall 2006, the Department hosted an IU Future Faculty Fellow, Youngmin Jo, who taught courses in international relations. Faculty were active professionally during 2006. Bennion, Chen, Karakatsanis, Parker, and Popescu had articles or chapters published in academic journals and books. Bennion, Karakatsanis, and Popescu presented papers at regional and international conferences. Gerencser and Parker either chaired or served as a discussant on panels at regional and national political science conferences. Bennion served as a trainer/presenter on voter registration field experiment at the national meeting of the American Democracy Project and Chen was accepted to participate in the Council of International Educational Exchange F acuity Workshop on Contemporary Politics, Economy, and Society in Costa Rica. Faculty were successful at obtaining grants in 2006. Parker and Popescu were awarded IUSB Summer Faculty Research grants and Karakatsanis received funding for a number of international endeavors including: funding from the IU Overseas Conference Fund, an International Programs/Chancellor's Funds grant, and an International Exchange Affiliations Grant. Of particular note is Bennion's award of a $215,000 grant to promote innovations in college voter student registration, awarded by the Graduate School of Political Management at George Washington University. Service to the campus, community, profession, and nationally continued to be a particular mark of distinction for the Department faculty. Advising and mentoring students, committee assignments, election to office of various disciplinary associations, participation in local community groups, and interviews with the media were all activities engaged in by the Political Science faculty. The Department continues to grow in the number of majors and minors. In 2006, there were approximately 70 active majors in political science. Graduating senior Laura Roach received the Political Science Excellence Award for academic achievement and Valerie Berezner received the John M. Lewis Award for Civic Engagement.

CLAS 2006 College Annual Report 99 PSYCHOLOGY Gwynn Mettetal, Chair II Chair's Remarks (I The Psychology Department had a very fruitful year in 2006. Faculty focused a great deal of time and effort on ensuring student success. They continued to develop and revise courses to meet the needs of the new general education curriculum and to devote many hours to their II teaching. Many of our faculty worked with students on research projects, resulting in several student co-authored publications and presentations. In addition to heavy departmental advising (I loads, Psychology faculty helped with new student orientations and undecided student advising. Several also serve as faculty advisors to student groups. (II Scholarship was also a priority in the Psychology Department. In 2006, faculty published 14 articles and made 15 presentations at professional meetings. Faculty were awarded 4 internal grants and submitted several external grants. Three faculty serve on editorial boards for II psychological journals and many are active as manuscript and grant reviewers. The Psychology faculty continue to engage in very high levels of service at the department, college, and campus levels, including committees for promotion and tenure, institutional research, faculty board of review and numerous search and screens. They are also involved in many community activities, ranging from tutoring programs to presentations at schools, '~ churches, and community meetings. Many were featured in media stories locally, nationally, and abroad. ~ Several faculty members had changes in role during 2006. Dr. Gwendolyn Mettetal stepped in as department chair in January, while Dr. John Mcintosh continued as Associate Dean. Dr. Frank Fujita was named the new Director of the IUSB Honors Program. Dr. Tom Mawhinney retired in II the summer after 36 years at IUSB. Finally, several faculty members received special recognition in 2006. Dr. De Bryant was ~ selected as the recipient of the 2006 IUSB Eldon Lundquist Award in recognition of her outstanding teaching, scholarship, and service. Dr. John Mcintosh was selected for the IU-LeaD Program, and Dr. Kevin Ladd earned the Trustee's Teaching Award.

Olson, Chair Chair's Remarks The Department of Sociology and Anthropology's commitment to excellence was evident in its faculty's teaching, research, and service activities in 2006. Three of our full-time faculty members won teaching awards in 2006 and all of the faculty were active in mento ring students- through advising, helping students to publish their research, serving on thesis committees, and supervising student clubs. Our faculty made eleven presentations at professional conferences, secured five research grants, and published three books and four refereed articles or book chapters. Department members had influential and demanding service commitments, including search and screen committees, PTR (promotion, tenure, and reappointment) committees, the Higher Learning Commission Self-Study, the committee on the restructuring of Academic Affairs, and the Internal Review Board. Two of our faculty also directed other programs, the Master of Liberal Studies and Women's Studies. The faculty's service to their disciplines was impressive; faculty members reviewed 23 articles or books and four grants. Three faculty served in editorial positions and four faculty served in positions within their professional associations as well. Finally, the Department was thrilled to hire an archaeologist, Jay VanderVeen, who has already strengthened our anthropology minor and expanded our cross-cultural offerings . • SCHOLARSHIP Single-author or joint-author books or monographs published by an academic or commercial press Scott R.

Over 40 students were advised and personally contacted in reference to their major/minor declarations in Women's Studies. Students involved in the Women's Studies program were active this year in the newly renamed Feminist Student Union, in the campus production of The Vagina Monologues which raised $4500 to donate to the YWCA and SOS, and in the production of the student journal, New Views on Gender published in May. Students also established a new student group, The Gender Project, which sponsored an anti-labeling campaign on campus, produced a zine called Blur, and sponsored campus activities for AIDS prevention week. The year was once again filled with Women's Studies sponsored events on campus. In January, Women's Studies partnered with the School of the Arts to-exhibit the work of renowned artist- activist Beverly Naidus in a show entitled One Size Does NOT Fit All (Revisited). In her campus visit, Naidus presented a public lecture and workshop on Art for Social Activism. During the months of March and April, we held a series of table talks on women and labor activism and women, sport and Title IX. We ended the year with events focused around Barbie and body image-a table talk on Barbie as a cultural icon, a film screening of Barbie Nation, and an interactive table display in Wiekamp Hall where we solicited students' ide.as about and reactions to Barbie. These materials were then displayed in a library case during the month of May. Spring also brought the remaining talks in the 2005-06 WOST Public Forum series that featured IUSB women scientists speaking to the campus community about their research. Topics presented included "Impact of Disease on Plant Reproductive Strategies," and "Strings: How to Tie it All Together." In the fall, the WOST Public Forum series for 2006-07 year featured IU South Bend Women's Studies Governing Board members speaking to the campus community about teaching. Topics presented included "Dealing with Difficult Situations in the Classroom," "Using Research Projects in Teaching," "Every Class Can (or Should) Be a Writing Class: Incorporating the Writing Process into Coursework." Women's Studies actively worked to incorporate the campus theme, "Dialogue and Difference" in its programming for the academic year. In September 2006, Dr. Daphna Sharfinan ofWestetn Galilee College visited the campus for ten days and while here, participated in a brown bag discussion with Women's Studies faculty about women's roles in Israeli society. In October, Carole Lapidos conducted a one-day training workshop on developing gender programming for middle school girls for faculty, teachers at a local school, and parents. Two Women's Studies faculty members are collaborating with two teachers at Stanley Clark School to present monthly workshops for the gth grade girls there in a pilot program of dialogue on self-esteem and life issues. Parent response has been enthusiastic and the school is being asked to expand the program into the lower grades as well. Also in October, Noemi Peregrino Gonzalez CLAS 2006 College Annual Report 125 • (Borderlinks) and Celeste Escobar (Mexico Solidarity Network) presented two bilingual (Spanish-English) campus panel discussions on "Border Issues and Immigration Rights." • Women's Studies also continued its support and sponsorship of other events in the broader community, such as the YWCA's Tribute to Women luncheon. Finally, Women's Studies • continued its many efforts in support of students on campus: sponsorship of the Women's Studies Research and Creative Essay awards, sponsorship of student service recognition awards at the annual YWCA Tribute to Women luncheon, and the Women's Studies Excellence Award. • Ten IU South Bend students presented at this year's all IU Undergraduate Research Conference in Women's Studies held at IU Kokomo. The program also worked with the local chapter of AAUW to offer a workshop on campus in the spring for over 30 young high school women • interested in going to college.
