A Professor Gives Back

Okhee Lee understands the importance of private philanthropy in furthering research into educational issues. A professor at the School of Education for 22 years, Lee has made significant contributions in the field of science education, including the development of curriculum for English language learners and students in low-income urban settings. In 2004 she received the Distinguished Career Award from the American Educa - tional Research Association (AERA) Standing Committee for Scholars of Color in Education. Lee has also made personal financial contributions to the School of Education.

“While federal funding from the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Education has been the primary source of support for our research, private donations have been very important in our work,” says Lee, who is now professor of science educa - tion and childhood education at New York University. “Private donations can be very influential in many ways. In my case, Richard Kurtz, Ilene and Bruce Dresner, and Glenn Hubert supported our work at UM.”

The Dresners also facilitated a $50,000 contribution from the Sherman Fairchild Foundation, which “It’s very rewarding when funded a 2003-04 project focusing on Haitians’ perceptions of science.

Lee and her late husband Michael B.

A Close Connection

Robert and Monique Doidge feel a close connection with the School of Education through their professional interests and their two sons. Robert Doidge, D.O., is an orthopedic surgeon who leads the medical team at Englewood Knee & Sports Medicine Orthopedics in northern New Jersey. Monique Doidge has a clinical background and is also active in the practice.

Drew is a sophomore and Rob is a junior studying exercise physiology in the Department of Kinesiology and Sport Sciences. “Both “ are athletes who really like the school’s programs and classes,” said Monique Doidge. “They like being able to take electives and explore their various interests.”

We need to find better Recently, the Doidges made a donation to the School of Education, including funds to support Wesley ways to prevent obesity Smith’s metabolic research. “Our son Rob had several classes with him, and my husband sat in on a class,” said Doidge. “Since we are in the health industry, we recognize the importance of the diabetes and lower the risk of research he is doing. We need to find better ways to prevent obesity and lower the risk of diabetes.” diabetes.” In addition, the Doidges invited Professor Kysha Harriell to speak at a May 2 symposium, “Sports in – Monique Doidge Action,” for high school and college athletic trainers and directors in a four-county region. Harriell will speak on sickle cell disease and provide an update on concussion research.

Studying Childhood Obesity

Supported by a private donation, Professor Wesley Smith, Department of Kinesiology and Sport Sciences, is launching a new study of boys ages 9 to 15 that may reveal new metabolic clues to help in the fight against childhood obesity.

“One in three obese children will develop diabetes, and in minorities the rate is much higher,” said Smith. “Since diabetes is a leading cause of blindness, amputations, and kidney failure, anything we can do to reduce the risk of diabetes in children will have substantial long-term benefits.”

At the School of Education’s Laboratory of Clinical and Applied Physiology, Smith is studying the role of insulin-resistance – a reason that some children have a higher risk of developing dia - betes than others. “Research has shown that the muscle cells in these children don’t burn fat very well, just carbohydrates,” he said. “It seems the left-over fat turns off the insulin-signaling in the cells. That leads to conditions like high blood pressure, and the whole metabolic disease pattern.”

In the study, Smith will measure the level of fat being oxidized (exhaled in the breath) at various intensities of exercises. “There are exercise-related strategies to improve fat oxidation, so if a correlation is found, we can apply those exercise and diet interventions,” he said.

Smith will also be looking at how long it takes the heart to recover from exercise, and fat patterning in children, where the fat cells are stored. If connections can be identified, clinicians will be able to use the results to screen for children at high risk for metabolic disease.
