    Morgan’s Voice POEMS & STORIES Morgan Segal Copyright © 1997 by Robert Segal All rights reserved. Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data Segal, Morgan Morgan’s Voice Poems & Stories ISBN 0-9G62027-0-8 First Edition 1997 Designed by Riley Smith Printed in the United States of America by Pacific Rim Printers/Mailers 11924 W. Washington Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90066 Printed on acid-free, recycled paper. The gift of sharing so intimately in Morgan’s life, through her prose and poetry, is one all will commit to their hearts. Here are remembrances, emotionally inspired, of personal journeys through a landscape of experience that has been both tranquil and turbulent. Her poems are “pearls dancing,” shimmering like her own life in an all too brief sunlight; her stories portraits, at times fragile, at times triumphant in their will to witness lasting humaness. She is truly a talent and a presence too soon lost. -James Ragan, Poet Director, Professional Writing Program University of Southern California Morgan possessed a rare and beautiful soul. Those wide brown eyes of hers shone forth with a child’s curiosity and innocence. But her heart was the heart of woman who was haunted by unfathomable darkness. Morgan’s words are infused with depth, wisdom, honesty, courage and insight. Her descriptions reveal the intense thirst she had for even the most mundane aspects of life — a fingernail, the scale of a fish, a grandfather’s breath, a strand of hair. The attention she pays to details can help us to return to our lives with a renewed revereance for all the subtle miracles that surround us each moment.

  • Abstract a Case Study of Cross-Ownership Waivers
    ABSTRACT A CASE STUDY OF CROSS-OWNERSHIP WAIVERS: FRAMING NEWSPAPER COVERAGE OF RUPERT MURDOCH’S REQUESTS TO KEEP THE NEW YORK POST by Rachel L. Seeman Media ownership is an important regulatory issue that is enforced by the Federal Communications Commission. The FCC, Congress, court and public interest groups share varying viewpoints concerning what the ownership limits should be and whether companies should be granted a waiver to be excused from the rules. News Corporation is one media firm that has a history of seeking these waivers, particularly for the New York Post and television stations in same community. This study conducted a qualitative framing analysis of news articles from the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal to determine if the viewpoints expressed by the editorial boards were reflected in reports on News Corp.’s attempt to receive cross-ownership waivers. The analysis uncovered ten frames the newspapers used to assist in reporting the events and found that 80% of these frames did parallel the positions the paper’s editorial boards took concerning ownership waivers.

  • Commencement
    COMMENCEMENT University of Wisconsin-Whitewater December 19, 2020 More than 150 years ago, on April 21, 1868, the state’s second normal school opened its doors to the first class of 48 students and nine faculty members. A progressive spirit guided the development of the institution as it evolved from a normal school, which trained teachers for one-room schools, to Whitewater State Teachers College (1927), Wisconsin State College-Whitewater (1951), Wisconsin State University-Whitewater (1964) and as a member of the 13 four-year institutions in the University of Wisconsin System (1971). Today, UW-Whitewater is a leading comprehensive university serving approximately 11,842 full- and part-time students with 50 undergraduate majors, 13 master’s degree programs, one doctoral degree and one education specialist degree in the colleges of Arts and Communication, Business and Economics, Education and Professional Studies, Integrated Studies, and Letters and Sciences. The university awards more than 2,700 degrees every year. Throughout its history, UW-Whitewater has produced graduates who have actively contributed to the growth of the state and nation. Student learning is the paramount focus of the university’s programs and services. The university takes pride in its regional leadership, national presence and global vision. Many of its academic programs are among the best in the country. 1 Student Speaker Brian Martinez For Brian Martinez, becoming a Warhawk meant finding a place to plant roots. When he visited campus as a transfer student from another Wisconsin university, UW-Whitewater felt like an inclusive family, where everyone belonged — a place that put people first.

    RE-17-19-0032-19 - Simmons University Retooling the Librarian Workforce: Innovative Post-Master’s Certificate Program for Developing Inter- Professional Informationalists (IPI ) Abstract In alignment with IMLS’s strategic goal of Lifelong Learning, this project aims to retool the diverse librarian workforce, develop an innovative educational model, and foster collaboration between libraries and a learning organization. Through a partnership among seven bicoastal academic health sciences libraries (Harvard University, MCPHS University, Tufts University, Boston University, Stanford University, University of California at Los Angeles, University of California at San Francisco) and one LIS Program (Simmons University), this project creates a post-Master’s certificate program in the area of Inter-Professional Informationist (IPI), for the purpose of bridging the gap between traditional and emergent skills in health sciences librarianship and increasing the diversity in the IPI workforce. IPI adopts embedded library services and the informationist approach to enhance biomedical scientific research and practice. Ten librarians in the program will complete seven IPI courses, and project partner institutions will connect them with researchers and clinical leaders who will supervise their capstone experience. This two-year project features planning, student recruitment, a four-semester course offering, followed by evaluation, recommendation, solidification of the IPI framework, and dissemination. This project has three goals: (1) Develop a unique bicoastal partnership among seven academic health sciences libraries across the country and a LIS program; (2) Develop an IPI conceptual framework bridging the gap between traditional and emergent skills in health sciences librarianship through a post- master’s certificate program focusing on retooling librarians in the workforce; (3) Recommend extending the framework to STEM, Social Sciences, and the Arts and Humanities disciplines where there is a similar gap.
