ANNUAL REPORT
January 1 - December 31, 2005
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences individual faculty and program accomplishments in 2005 were outstanding. As this report chronicles, College faculty engaged in substantial amounts of scholarly activity, generating many publications and presentations at professional conferences across the nation as well as internationally. 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.
We welcome three new members to the tenured Associate Professor rank: Thomas Clark, Dave Surma, and Otis Grant; and three new members to the rank of Senior Lecturer: Sushma Agarwal, Nancy Botkin, and Mary Truex. An unprecedented four faculty members received all university awards at the 2005 IU Founder's Day ceremony: Gretchen Anderson received a Herman Frederic Lieber Award for Excellence in Teaching; Betsy Lucal received a Sylvia E. Bowman Award for Excellence in Teaching; Elizabeth Mooney received a Part-Time Teaching Award; and Linda Chen received a Wilbert Hites Mentoring Award. Gail McGuire received an IU South Bend Teaching Award, and Andy Schnabel received an IU South Bend Distinguished Research Award. Mike Keen was selected as the Lundquist Fellow. We had three new inductees into FACET: Catherine Borshuk, Monika Lynker, and Deborah Marr; and nine recipients of Trustees' Teaching Awards. In 2005 we welcomed 20 new full-time faculty members, including 10 new assistant professors. Two faculty members-John Lewis and Frances Sherwood-retired in 2005.
Student semester credit hours for fall 2005 in College courses represented more than 57% of the IU South Bend total. There was a record number of CLAS graduate and undergraduate majors (2137), and a record number of students receiving degrees and certificates from the College (321). CLAS faculty members continue to provide research opportunities for students. In 2005, there were 12 student co-authors on published papers and 22 student co-authors of research presentations at regional, national, or international conferences. An additional study abroad program was established related to the European Union, complementing existing study abroad opportunities in Belize, Costa Rica, and Mexico.
• Goals the College must strive for in the coming year are plentiful. The College hopes to increase the level of external grant activity by 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 IUSB and the students we serve. • CLAS 2005 College Annual Report • TABLE OF CONTENTS

* Beginning in 2004, the University Graduate School and the Graduate Council adopted new policies regarding the granting of graduate faculty status. According to this policy all tenure track faculty are granted graduate faculty status at the time of appointment. Graduate faculty status allows faculty to serve on doctoral dissertation committees; full graduate faculty status indicates an endorsement to chair doctoral committees.

Dimitrakopoulos, Director Director's Remarks II The Advance College Project [ACP] welcomed 20 new teachers during Summer 2006 in the content areas of art history, chemistry, composition, education, French, history, literature, I mathematics, physiology, political science, speech, and studio art. Expansion of ACP course offerings was seen in the following area secondary schools: Garrett, Marian, Mishawaka, Northridge, and Penn. ACP enrollments for 2005-2006 continued to be robust, especially with I the Indiana Department of Education changing its requirements to include NACEP-accredited concurrent enrollment courses for an Academic Honors Diploma in the high schools. The IU ACP program has been accredited by the National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollments I Partnerships, of which I am one of the founding members. New for the 2005-2006 academic year, too, was the inclusion of IPFW-area high schools to the IU South Bend ACP program. New high schools offering ACP courses beginning in Fall 2006 are: Bremen, Edwardsburg, I LaPorte, New Prairie, and West Noble. SERVICE-Campus I Campus service activities I Mary Anna C.

Bushnell, Chair Chair's Remarks A number of significant events occurred this academic year. The Biology Department expanded by one faculty member when we welcomed Dr. Mudi Nair to our program in the Fall of 2005. Dr. Nair's area of expertise is bioinformatics and he therefore has a joint appointment with the Computer SciencelInformatics Department. Ms. Hilda Lora also joined the department this year when she filled the laboratory assistant position that was vacated when Ms. Cheryl Houston moved from the area. Four members of the Biology Department were recognized by their colleagues for outstanding contributions to our campus. Dr. Thomas Clark received tenure and promotion to Associate Professor, Dr. Ann Grens was awarded the CLAS Outstanding Faculty Advising Award, Dr. Deborah Marr was elected to the Faculty Colloquium for Excellence in Teaching, and Dr. Andrew Schnabel received the rUSB Distinguished Research Award. As has been the trend in the last few years enrollment in departmental course offerings continued to be very robust in 2005. The number of biology majors stood at about 285, and we graduated 19 students. The Biology faculty were again very active in the scholarship arena. Dr. Andrew Schnabel received an NSF Research Experience for Undergraduates grant to support an rUSB student to help with his research on pollination in African acacia trees. Dr. Yilei Qian was also awarded an rUSB Faculty Summer Research Award. Dr. Robert Pope used a fellowship from the Centre • d'Ecologie et de Physiology Energetique to spend 6 months in France conducting research on nutrient absorption in pythons. In 2005 members of the Biology Department published six I research articles in peer-reviewed journals and made a total of fifteen presentations at local and national meetings. In keeping with the department's commitment to provide research opportunities for • undergraduate students, approximately 21 students participated in departmental research projects this year. IUSB undergraduates appeared as co-authors on two publications in professional, peer reviewed journals, and delivered a total of ten oral and poster presentations at meetings which included: the Annual Meeting of the Botanical Society (Texas), the 25 th Midwest Ecology and • th Evolution Conference (Illinois), the 16 National Symposium for Undergraduates in Science, Engineering, and Mathematics (Illinois), and the 19th National Conference on Undergraduate •I Research (Virginia). • • CLAS 2005 College Annual Report 21 • • SCHOLARSHIP • Print or electronic refereed journal articles, book chapters, and creative works published Thomas M.

[Mentor: William Feighery] I I I CLAS 2005 College Annual Report 35 I COMPUTER AND INFORMA TION SCIENCES Hossein Hakimzadeh, Chair Chair's Remarks The year 2005 was a productive year for computer science and informatics at IU South Bend. Our faculty remained active in their research, teaching and service to our university. Dr. David Surma was granted tenure and promoted to the rank of associate professor. He was also nominated and accepted the responsibilities of the graduate director for our MS in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science program. In pursuit of our goal to refine and expand our graduate and undergraduate programs in computer science and informatics, the department welcomed three new colleagues to join the faculty. Dr. Liguo Yu (Software Engineering, Vanderbilt University), Dr. Liqiang Zhang (Computer Networks, Wayne State University) and Dr. Murli Nair (Bioinformatics, University ofPo on a, Pune, India) joined the department in the Fall of2005. Our enrollment in computer science continues to be healthy. Currently, we have approximately 200 undergraduates in computer science and informatics and about 30 graduate students pursuing their MS degrees in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science. With the support of our college, the department was able to renew the equipment in our undergraduate laboratories, creating an up-to-date computing environment for our students. During 2005, Dr. Mike Scheessele received a Faculty Research Grant; Dr. James Wolfer received an IT Equipment Grant, a UCET/FACET Faculty Development Award, and an Oversees Conference Grant; Dr. Dana Vrajitoru received a Faculty Fellowship Grant; and the department also received a McGraw-Hill Equipment Grant. In addition, Dr. Wolfer and Dr. Vrajitoru submitted a grant proposal to the National Science Foundation. This grant is titled "A Multisensory Augmentation Studio for Computer Graphics and Human Interaction." The department continues to be active in its outreach mission. Examples of such activity include faculty and student volunteer efforts to provide expertise to our local and regional non-profit organizations; increased interaction with local and regional educational institutions; internships and professional practice; increased course offerings for non-majors and community members; increased departmental sponsorship of public presentations; development of stronger relationships with our alumni; and the creation of endowments and scholarships in computer SCIence.

Scanlan, Chair Associate Chair's Remarks (Karen Gindele) In the spring the department interviewed six fiction writers to fill Fran Sherwood's position, but each took a job elsewhere or could not in the end move. In the fall we conducted two tenure- track searches, one for the creative writing position and one for a specialist in the eighteenth century and Romanticism. We also conducted searches for numerous part-time faculty. Our faculty published three peer-reviewed articles, and Joe Chaney and Ken Smith wrote and performed 21 radio commentaries for Michiana Chronicles on WVPE. Six faculty members gave ten papers or talks at conferences, including one panel conducted by four faculty at the International Writing Centers Association Conference. Rebecca Brittenham and Elaine Roth were elected to FACET. Three faculty received grants totalling $20,450, which is a large amount for an English department; the largest was for the speaker series for the campus general-education core curriculum. The department had 83 majors and the MA program admitted ten students; sixteen graduate students in English were enrolled during the year. Three faculty directed seven graduate thesis committees (in the MA and MLS programs); six were readers on graduate committees; one faculty member directed a senior honors project and one was a reader for two honors projects; five people (some of those same) directed four independent studies and one formal graduate research project. The Writing Program, under Rebecca Brittenham's direction, was restructured beginning in the fall to add one semester of release time for a lecturer to assist in administering the program and helping to train new teachers. Nancy Botkin, who was appointed Senior Lecturer, was elected to this post. At the annual Lester M. Wolfson A wards held in April, Maria Melendez read from her poetry; she judged the student submissions to the writing competition. First place in poetry was awarded to Jedediah Walls, with second to Kathy Tapper; first place in short fiction was awarded to Rebecca Gerdes, with second to Talia Reed; and first place in non-fiction was awarded to Stacy Logan, with second to Karen Neubauer. In the fall Nathan Roberts read from his fiction (November 15). Margaret continued as chair for her fifth year; Rebecca Brittenham became Director of First- Year Writing in July; Karen Gindele continued as Associate Chair and Director of Graduate Studies in English; Suzanne Meyer continued as Director ofESL and Director of Advising for CLAS; Joe Chaney continued as Director of General Education; Ken Smith continued as Editor of the American Democracy Project web publication and of the public radio commentary series; CLAS 2005 College Annual Report 45 I Eileen Bender continued as Co-Chair of the Higher Learning Commission Accreditation I Committee. David Dodd Lee continued to teach creative writing as Visiting Assistant Professor. Fran Sherwood retired in the spring of 2005. Miriam Shillingsburg took the position of Acting I Dean of Education while that division conducted its search for a new dean.

Tetzlaff, Chair I Chair's Remarks In 2005 the History Department welcomed two new faculty members, Dr. Hayley Froysland and I Dr. Yosuke Nirei. Dr. Nirei, who received his Ph.D. from Berkeley in 2004, specializes in Japanese Intellectual History and he taught the Asian history and world history surveys. Dr. Froysland, who received her Ph.D. from the University of Virginia, became our Latin I Americanist and participated immediately in the new T190 Core Course in Literary and Intellectual Traditions, bringing her expertise in the history of medicine and social refonn in I Columbia. Both of our new additions received Faculty Research Grants and were active in giving conference papers and having articles published. We were also pleased to have Dr. Lisa Swartout participating in the T190 Core Courses and appreciate her revival of the History Club I as well as her conference presentations and her IU South Bend Faculty Research Grant award. Dr. Isabel O'Connor continued her innovative teaching with new courses on the Inquisition and Medieval Islam. She published two refereed journal articles and chaired the Religious Studies I Committee. Dr. Jonathan Nashel 's book, Edward Lansdale's Cold War, was positively reviewed in the New i York Times . . Dr. Dmitry Shlapentokh published articles on Eurasianism and other Russian history topics, as well as a book, East Against West: The First Encounter. I Dr. Kevin Smant served the History Department once again as a Lecturer, this time in American History.

Dr. Les Lamon provided leadership I for IUSB students in his last full year as Director of the Civil Rights Heritage Center, and in teaching African American History as well as the U.S. history survey. The Center continued to grow under Dr. Lamon's leadership and he was preparing Dr. Monica Tetzlaff to take over the I Center's direction.

There have been steady demands for our degree programs. The department successfully organized an Actuarial Day to promote our young BS degree program in Actuarial Sciences. The faculty prepared and adopted a first ever I department Five Year Plan and began to prepare a department self-study report for an external program review in 2006. Since 2003, the faculty has been formalizing many department policies I and guidelines. As part ofthis process, we adopted a Policy on Course Syllabus in 2005. The department conducted another successful tenure-track search; Dr. MarcioCarvalho joined I the department as assistant professor in applied mathematics. Professor Sushma Agarwal received a well-deserved promotion to senior lecturer. I 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 Ii journals in our disciplines, and several faculty members have served as external reviewers for tenure and promotion cases. Our faculty continued to provide service to the university and local community. Five faculty members served as faculty adviser at the new student orientations for a Ii total of 20 times; both numbers are new records for the department. The department successfully hosted our 26th annual High School Mathematics Contest to 140 area high school students.

CLAS 2005 College Annual Report 67 i PHILOSOPHY I .- Louise Collins, Chair I Chair's Remarks - Over the course of 2005, 5 majors and 2 minors graduated in Philosophy. Both in Spring and I Fall, six philosophy majors were on the Dean's Honors list. In May, 2005, the Philosophy .- Excellence award was presented to Mike Campbell & the Alumni/ae Scholarship to Alison I Heaney. We are proud of our students and their accomplishments. - We had a busy year of programming. Our Philosophy Day speaker was Dr. Nancy Sherman of I Georgetown University, who gave a public lecture and very successful colloquium in February, based on her new book, Stoic Warriors: The Ancient Philosophy behind the Military Mind - (Oxford University Press, 2005). We co-sponsored a visit to IUSB by Ricki Wilchins of Gender I PAC in April, and the "Congress to Campus" programme in November. In October, Philosophy was a "Major in the Spotlight" with the CLAS Advising Center, and the Department also offered a workshop on "Successfully Applying to Graduate School in Philosophy." Dr. Fleming i compiled a reference file on Philosophy graduate schools for the Philosophy Lounge. The undergraduate Philosophy Club ran an active program of meetings and discussions in the spring semester. i All Philosophy faculty were active in their research. Professor Shrader had a notable year: having successfully defended his doctoral thesis at Notre Dame in the fall, he was awarded an i IUSB research grant for $8,000 for summer 2006. Dr. Washburn returned to teaching in the fall after a year-long research sabbatical. He continues to serve on the editorial board of the central journal in his field. One faculty member published an article in 2005, two faculty members i presented their work at scholarly conferences, and we have five publications forthcoming in academic venues. I We continue our departmental commitment to excellence in teaching. Both Collins and Zynda contribute extensive service to curriculum-related committees at the College level, and Zynda continues his leadership role in Critical Thinking for campus Gen. Ed. I Philosophy faculty were actively engaged in service at all levels: from volunteering for New Student Orientations (most of us), to speaking in the ADP Table Talk series (Shrader), to i lobbying for improved IT (Fleming). Every full-time member of the Philosophy faculty serves on at least one coordinating committee for an interdisciplinary minor or major program, thus demonstrating the centrality of philosophy to liberal education at IUSB. i Our faculty are also building connections beyond the academy. Dr. Zynda was invited to address the Nebula Awards Meeting of the Science Fiction Writers Association, in April, on the strength i of his publications on philosophy and science fiction in the BenBella Books series. Dr. Collins continues to write occasional essays .for 88.1 WVPE, the local public radio affiliated station. i -i CLAS 2005 College Annual Report 68 I SCHOLARSHIP Print or electronic non-refereed journal articles, book chapters, and creative works published Louise Collins. 9 Commentaries as part ofMichiana Chronicles (written and performed; also appear in text form online at www.mchron.net/ee/radio and are referenced at www.\vvpe.org) for WVPE 88.1 (local NPR affiliate): "Checking My Change," February 4; "War," March 11; "Geocaching in Spring," April 22; "Children & the American Dream," May 27; "On Safari," July 1; "The Tube & Terrorism," August 5; "Labor Day Weekend," September 9; "Humming Along with the Masters," October 28; "Cold Turkey," December 2.

CLAS 2005 College Annual Report 71 I I PHYSICS & ASTRONOMY Jerry D. Hinnefeld, Chair I Chair's Remarks I Rolf Schimmrigk joined the department as an assistant professor of physics in Fall 2005. He came to us with significant experience at similar institutions, Georgia Southwestern University and Kennesaw State University, where he taught a broad range of courses and compiled an I impressive record of published research. Rolf is a long-time collaborator of Monika Lynker, and their residence in the same department, after many years collaborating at a distance, is certain to lead to new energy and productivity in their research. I 2005 was another productive year for the department in the area of research. Han Levine, Monika Lynker, and Jerry Hinnefeld were each co-authors of multiple publications in refereed I journals, and Henry Scott gave invited talks at four universities and an international workshop. Han submitted two research grant proposals to the National Science Foundation, and Henry submitted a proposal for a starter grant from the Petroleum Research Fund (PRF) of the I American Chemical Society. Ilan and Henry also were awarded $8,000 Faculty Research Grants by the IUSB Research and Development Committee. I Monika Lynker was selected for membership in FACET in 2005, the first member of our department to achieve this recognition. Monika also accepted an appointment in Fall 2005 as a Faculty Advisor for the CLAS Advising Center. In this role she serves as the academic advisor I for a large number of CLAS students who have not yet decided on a major area of study. Henry Scott taught our department's inaugural offering of The Natural World, one of the four Common Core courses in IUSB' s new campus-wide general education curriculum, with the subtitle, I "Geology of the National Parks." Henry Scott and Jerry Hinnefeld submitted a proposal to the Course, Curriculum, and Laboratory Improvement (CCLl) program of the NSF, entitled "Seeing the Unseeable: Scientific Instruments as Windows on the Submicroscopic World." I Student achievement was also a highlight of 2005 for our department. Andrew Ratkiewicz and Savan Kharel presented research they performed during the summer of 2005, Andrew as an REU I participant at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory at Michigan State University and Savan as the recipient of an IUSB SMART Summer Fellowship, at the Argonne Undergraduate Research Symposium in November. Andrew also presented his research in a I poster session at the annual fall meeting of the Division of Nuclear Physics of the American Physical Society, in Kapalua, Hawaii (Maui).

CLAS 2005 College Annual Report 87 PSYCHOLOGY Frank Fujita, Acting Chair (Spring) John L. Mcintosh, Chair (Fall) Chair's Remarks During 2005, the IUSB Psychology Department members continued their active and exceptional involvement and· participation in the areas of teaching, service, and scholarship. Consistent with departmental tradition, faculty devoted great efforts to teaching their classes as well as advising and mentoring students. Psychology faculty also contributed many hours to numerous committees and agencies in service of our department, campus, community, and national II organizations. In addition to publications by several members, most of the psychology faculty made presentations at professional conferences and provided numerous professional presentations to local as well as national groups. The department continues to provide an II outstanding undergraduate degree program, preparing students for graduate training in psychology and related fields in addition to encouraging analytical and practical skills that are useful for all students in any life endeavor. II The year 2005 was a year in which there were numerous noteworthy individual efforts and II issues. Among these, first were the changes in the faculty. We welcomed the addition to the department faculty of Dr. Gwynn Mettetal, a long-time IU South Bend faculty member with the School of Education (and though Gwynn served a term as Dean of Education, her doctoral II training is in psychology and she served on the IU South Bend Psychology faculty as a visitor prior to joining the School of Education years ago). Dr. Mettetal started a joint appointment in the summer, with appointments in Psychology (and CLAS) and Education, teaching courses for II both. As you may recall, at the end of 2004 (in December in fact), Dr. Richard Gottwald retired from the Psychology faculty after over 30 years service. We were pleased to welcome a cognitive psychologist for his position. Specifically, Dr. Michelle Verges joined us in the Fall II semester. Making· a big splash right away, Michelle was featured in the American Psychological Association's GradPSYCH Magazine in which the story discussed teaching philosophy statements. Other personnel issues during 2005 included Dr. Frank Fujita's completion of an II outstanding year's service to the department and our students as Acting Chair in Spring and early summer. In addition, Dr. John Mcintosh returned to serve as Department Chair in mid-summer and Fall, but at the same time also began a 3-year appointment as Associate Dean of the College II of Liberal Arts & Sciences (after completing a year as Acting Associate Dean at mid-year). With respect to individual accomplishments and activities by faculty, Dr. Fujita had an excellent II year of published scholarly activity, with 4 articles appearing in 2005. Individual members of our outstanding faculty were recognized for their teaching, including Dr. V. Thomas Mawhinney who was honored by a Trustee's Teaching Award and Dr. Catherine Borshuk who was inducted II into the prestigious Faculty Colloquium on Excellence in Teaching (FACET), joining other department colleagues who are also. FACET members, Dts. Gwynn Mette tal (since 1994 ), Richard Hubbard (1995), De Bryant (1999), and Carolyn Schult (2004). Also joining a number of II department faculty who have done so in the past, Drs. Kevin Ladd and Kathy Ritchie made CLAS 2005 College Annual Report II 88 • Ill engaging and thoughtful presentations in the Dean's Seminar series for the year. In addition, as part of the campus efforts for the American Democracy. Project, Drs. Catherine Borshuk, Frank Fujita, and John Mcintosh recorded radio essays that were broadcast on local National Public Radio as well as posted on the web at the ADP website and its blog . Finally, several faculty engaged in particularly noteworthy efforts regarding student mentoring in 2005. These faculty mentored the research endeavors of students and engaged them in their own • research projects or directed independent projects. Dr. Catherine Borshuk coauthored a journal article submitted for publication with a former student (MLS graduate), while students mentored by Drs. Kevin Ladd, Dennis Rodriguez, Carolyn Schult, and De Bryant (3, 2, 2, 1, respectively) presented papers based on their research at national or regional conferences . • SCHOLARSHIP Books, collections, and monographs edited • John L.

Chair's Remarks In 2005 the Sociology Department continued its outstanding efforts in teaching, service, and .. research. Betsy Lucal and Gail McGuire both won distinguished teaching awards and Mike Keen won IU South Bend's Lundquist Award for teaching and community service. Department members continued to maintain their high level of involvement in scholarly activity (publishing books, articles, and making scholarly presentations), teaching (participating in and contributing to teaching workshops, panels, and publications related to teaching), service to the university (on committees, as department chairs and directors of programs, participating in and organizing campus events, etc.), service to students (organizing student trips and paper presentations), and service to the profession (in leadership positions of professional organizations, organizing conference sessions, etc.), and all of this in spite of teaching, on average, 100 students per semester per full-time equivalent faculty member, the third highest average among CLAS departments. 2005 saw several changes. Paul-Brian McInerney joined our department as an assistant professor and completed his Ph.D. in sociology at Columbia University. Otis Grant joined our department from SPEA as an associate professor. Scott Sernau completed his tenure as chair and was replaced by Dan Olson. Alex Enkerli completed his year as Future Faculty Teaching Fellow and Aaron Naumann joined our department as a one-year visitor.

By the fall of 2005, we had II implemented the new major, minor, and AA degree curriculums. Two new courses - Feminist Theory and Feminist Research Methods - were both approved for the new degree requirements and were both offered. Also during the Fall, Women's Studies developed and approved a new I assessment plan for graduating majors. Over 40 students were advised and personally contacted in reference to their major/minor declarations in Women's Studies and about the changes in the curriculum. Summer 2005 saw the Women's Studies offices relocated to the second floor of I Wiekamp. We were able to reopen the Women's Resource Room with this move. The move was accomplished with minimal inconvenience to either faculty or students. Since reopening the resource room, it has become a favorite haven for students to meet and use for studying. We held two open houses in September to introduce our new space to the campus community. • The year was once again filled with Women's Studies sponsored events on campus: the Women's Studies Public Forum Series, the performance of The Vagina Monologues, the • activities of the Women's Student Union, Women's History Month with displays and speakers, II and annual attendance and presentations at the all-IU Women's Studies Undergraduate Conference. In January, Dr. Felicity Nussbaum, Professor of English at UCLA, presented the first Gloria Kaufman Memorial Lecture on our campus. We continued Women's Studies campus • programming in March for Women's History month by bringing 6 additional speakers to our campus, several of them in collaboration with the Women's Studies program at S1. Mary's College: Rela Mazali, Israeli author and peace activist; Dr. Cynthia Enloe, Professor of Political • Science, Clark University; Dr. Astrid Henry, Assistant Professor of English and Women's Studies, St. Mary's College; and Theresa Carilli and Jane Campbell of Purdue University- Calumet and Kimiko Akita, a CWIL Fellow at St. Mary's College. • In the Fall, the WOST Public Forum series for the 2005-06 year, featured five IU South Bend women scientists speaking to the campus community about their research. In October, we • collaborated with the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center at Notre Dame to screen the films of Israeli feminist director Yulie Cohen Gerstel to an audience of over 150 people. Those in attendance were able to discuss the films with the director who was present for the screening. In • early November, Nigerian scholar Simi Afonja visited gender and political science classes on our campus to discuss her research on women and politics in Nigeria under the auspices of the Institute for Advanced Study. We held the second Gloria Kaufman Memorial lecture in mid- • November, bringing to campus Judy Norsigian, Executive Director of Our Bodies, Ourselves Book Collective. She spoke to an audience of 150 people and was the featured speaker at a luncheon the following day with over twenty local health-care providers. We raised over $5000 • to make this program possible, partllering with an alumni donor (Catherine Romano Orth), Memorial Hospital, numerous campus departments and units, S1. Mary's College, University of • CLAS 2005 College Annual Report 112 •• Notre Dame, and the AAUW. Several days after this event, we brought Professor Anne Sofie Roald, of Lund University in Sweden to campus. to lecture on "Are Muslim Women Oppressed?". Her lecture was attended by over 50 students and community members. 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. Six IU South Bend students presented their research or creative work at the all-IU Undergraduate Women's Studies Conference held at IU Southeast in April. The Women's Studies Governing Board has given many hours of service to provide a smooth transition and expansion of the Women's Studies Program.

Walker, Chair Chair's Remarks • The Department of World Language Studies was pleased to have its name change made official this year. As the U.S. becomes an increasingly bilingual and multi-cultural society, we wanted • to mark this event by eliminating the word "foreign," along with its often negative connotations, from our department name. Our Spanish section continues to flourish with well-enrolled classes, an increasing number of majors, and a new colleague. Fall 2005, we welcomed Julio Hernando • who completed his Ph.D. at Washington University in St. Louis with a specialization in Medieval Studies. Highlights of the accomplishment of our full-time faculty include an IU South Bend Research A ward for Oscar Barrau to compare early editions of Hernan Cortes' • published letters in Salamanca, Spain; Tammy Morgan was invited to present her expertise on Spanish for the health care profession and the use of technology at the IU/SBC Summer Leadership Forum in Indianapolis. The Department is also grateful to Kevin Fuchs for his • exemplary efforts with the Spanish Club which is now one of the most active clubs on campus. John Davis directed our very successful program in Cuernavaca, Mexico for the third time. As for the "lesser taught languages"-French, German, and Japanese-kudos go to Yoshiko Green • for successfully teaching a new summer course on Japanese culture in English. Cheri Brown introduced new technology and media in her teaching, specifically an online reader in G203, a video course in G204, and feature films to teach culture in G373. Lesley Walker had the • opportunity to spend the month of May 2005 teaching in Toulon, France. Finally, we want to thank Sujie Mann for her efforts in building a cohort of students interested in learning Chinese. One of the department's goals is to continue to pursue the development of a minor in East Asian • Studies.
