Introduction Over the past decade, the department has added a second program to our offerings and enrollment has grown from 211 majors and currently stands at 295. In addition, the number of students declaring a minor in Communication Studies has more than doubled and currently stands at 58. During that same period, the number of faculty serving those students has remained constant. Workloads seriously impact the department's ability to develop and grow our programs. In particular. the department's attempts to explore the potential of three collaborative graduate programs (in International Sport Media, Digital Media Studies, and Speech Education) have languished due to lack of resources. 2. Instructional Innovations a. In addition to delivering courses for the almost 300 communication studies majors, the department currently contributes significantly to the general education of students. Over the past several years , the department has made a concerted effort to reach out to the rest of campus and to deliver courses to growing numbers of students from other disciplines. Many of these changes we predicated on the assumption that our vacancy in Public Relations would eventually be filled. b. Concrete steps taken by the department include: i. Elimination of all 'major's only' (601) sections of classes. ii. Addition of multiple sections of COM 203 Intro to Media Writing (WI) iii. GE05 attribution for COM 200 with subsequent 200% enrollment increase iv. Creation of new courses specifically for inclusion in the General Education (e.g. Reporting the World) 3. Program Review and Assessment Department Majors 295 - NCM 31 -COM136 - COM-PRAD 90 - COM-MEPD 19 - COM-JOUR 12 COM Minors 58 4-year graduation rate 50% 6-year graduation rate 70% Total courses offered for credit 54 Total studio lab courses 5 Total upper division courses 32 Average course capacity 93% COM 100 served 378 students - 78% non-majors (879 StCrHrs) COM 200 (GE 05) served 200 students - 55.5% non-majors (333 StCrHrs) COM 203 (WI) served 168 students - 31% non-majors (156 StCrHrs) COM 210 (PS) served 518 students - 86% non-majors (1335 StCrHrs) a. General education i. The department contributes significantly in the delivery of Presentation Skills courses, particularly COM 210 (more than 500 students annually. ii. The department currently offers five sections of COM 203 each semester (WI designation). iii. Last year the department began offering COM 200 as aGE 05 course for the first time. We saw an immediate jump in enrollment from the typical 50-60 students, to more than 100. iv. The department also sought and gained GE status for a newly developed course in Global Journalism. 3 4. Faculty Workload The Communication Studies Department has tried unsuccessfully to fill a vacant line for the past three years. During each of these searches, the pool of qualified applicants was extremely small. Public Relations has been an area of significant growth within the communications field and there is a relative scarcity of practitioners who hold a PhD. The department is hopeful that the recent economic downturn will allow us to attract a larger pool of candidates than might otherwise be available. a. Departmental reliance on adjunct and/or visiting faculty One-half of department faculty are of 'Qualified" rank. These adjunct faculty produce fully 60% of the student credit hours generated in the department. Many teach three or more classes each semester. 2008-2009 credit hours per adjunct faculty member: Cadden 18 Garrigahan 15 Gordon 6 Hischak 24 (full-time lecturer) Johanns 8 Owens 13 Rapp 14 Williams 9 on maternity leave 200920 b. Course delivery: impact on other major programs and general education In addition to those offerings previously mentioned, the department made the following specific contributions: - More than 290 non-majors enrolled in COM 100 Human Communication - More than half of the 200 students taking COM 200 Communication History are non- majors. - Coordination of the Cinema Studies Minor at a cost of one-third of a faculty line. - Significant contributions to the African Studies Major c. Evidence of efficient scheduling (i.e. absence of under-enrolled courses) Course capacity across the department averages 93 percent. Three years ago department reduced the number of concentrations available to students in an effort to streamline our curricular offerings. This allowed us some flexibility in scheduling. However, increased enrollment during that same period has eroded many of the gains made. As a result, the department is submitting an increasing number of course substitution forms for students who are unable to complete courses needed for graduation. d. Departmental advisement and service loads On average, full-time faculty provide academic advising to 40 students each semester. Academic advisees per faculty member Spring 2009: Hartsock, J 32 Hollenback, D 50 Kaltefleiter, C on sabbatical 200920 Kelley,S 34 Lawrence, K 41 Mwanika, T 33 Pasha, 5 32 van der Veur 59 e. Existing full time faculty workload during 2008-2009 (including courses taught as overload) Faculty load average 3.4 courses per semester Credit hours per faculty member: Hartsock, J 18 Hollenback, D 21 Kaltefleiter, C 9 on sabbatical 200920 Kelley, S 18 receives annual 2-course reduction (internship coordinator) Lawrence, K 21 Mwanika, T 21 Pasha, 5 18 van der Veur 29 receives annual3-course reduction (chair) 4 5.

The choir prides itself in being multi-cultural in both membership and the music it performs. Since its inception in 1994 the choir has gained a reputation for its unique ability to successfully interpret both Western and African repertoire and has since become sought after at choral festivals internationally.

  • Phase 2 Talk Mill Theatre 2019
    Between the Stones (Phase 2) Getting to noh from ‘page to stage’ Performance demonstration lecture: 8 February 2019, 7.30 - 9pm at dlr Mill Theatre (Dublin, Dundrum) www.milltheatre.ie +353 01 296 9340 Presentation by: What is noh? And how is a new noh in Kinue Oshima traditional style conceived and staged? Richard Emmert ‘Noh’ is classical Japanese theatre which combines dance, drama, music, Jannette Cheong poetic text, exquisite costumes and masks into a highly aesthetic form of art that has been performed continuously for 650 years. This performance demonstration talk is designed to introduce audiences to the key elements of noh and to have a close up and interactive experience of how a new noh is developed from ‘page to stage’. The focus of the new noh, Between the Stones, is ‘from tragic loss to peace’. It explores how the burden of grief turns into an understanding and celebration of life, death, beauty and love; and the transformative power of gardens to nurture and heal the soul… It also uniquely brings together three Japanese cultural forms - noh, karesansui gardens and furin (wind chimes). The professional noh actor, Kinue Oshima, the composer, Richard Emmert, and the author of this new two-act English language noh drama, Jannette Cheong, will share key aspects of how this new noh will be transformed from the poetic text to the stage production using traditional noh techniques. This is the third noh performing arts collaboration between Richard Emmert and Jannette Cheong and the second with the Oshima family following the acclaimed success of Pagoda (2009 European Tour, 2011 Asia Tour).

  • Survivor Pulled from Rubble in Bangladesh
    SUBSCRIPTION SATURDAY, MAY 11, 2013 RAJAB 1, 1434 AH No: 15805 Global network of hackers steals $45m15 from ATMs Survivor pulled from rubble in Bangladesh Max 40º 150 Fils Woman rescued after 17 days • Death toll tops 1,000 Min 24º SAVAR, Bangladesh: Bangladeshi rescuers pulled a woman alive from the ruins of a collapsed garment factory complex yesterday after she spent 17 days trapped in a basement under the rubble. Hours after officials had announced that the death toll had surged past the 1,000 mark, recovery teams who had long given up any hope of finding more survivors were stunned to hear the voice of a woman calling out for help. They then managed to pull her from the ruins in an operation broadcast live on television and watched over by growing crowds at the scene who were asked by clerics to pray for her. After she was brought to the surface she was whisked away to a waiting ambulance, but managed a weak smile to the people gathered at the ruined Rana Plaza complex on the outskirts of the capital Dhaka. Rescuers said she appeared to have lost a lot of weight but there were no other apparent signs of injury. Army Captain Ibrahimul Islam told AFP that the woman was called Reshma. “She has been taken to the Savar Combined Military Hospital and admitted in the intensive care unit. She is fine,” he said. Bangladesh’s fire service chief Ahmed Ali told AFP that Reshma was found in a gap between a beam and column near a Muslim prayer room in the basement of the nine-storey complex, which caved in on April 24, and appeared to have had access to water.
