Seminar Talk Jose Fernandez, PhD Adjunct Professor, Department of Physics, Christopher Newport University and Adjunct Professor, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Old Dominion University Friday, April 22, 2016 3:00 p.m. KH 224 Title: SABER NO+(v) Volume Emission Rates and its application to the IRI storm model development Abstract: Observations of thermospheric infrared 4.3 um limb emission from the TIMED/SABER instrument have fostered the development of new data products, models, and analysis tools for the study of upper atmospheric and ionospheric response to solar-geomagnetic disturbances. Enhancements in nighttime 4.3 um emission during storm periods are due to vibrational excitation of NO+ (i.e., NO+(v)), caused by auroral dosing and subsequent ion-neutral chemical reactions followed by radiative emission at 4.3 um. The fundamental observation-based quantity used to study the E- region from SABER 4.3 um emission measurements is the NO+(v) volume emission rate (VER). In this talk, we show the versatility of the NO+(v) VER, useful for characterizing the morphology of the E-region electron density as a response to magnetic disturbances. The end-goal of this study is to develop an empirical E-region storm-time correction to the International Reference Ionosphere (IRI) model. The IRI model is a widely used empirical model for the specification of ionospheric parameters and is recommended for the international use by the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR) and the International Union of Radio Science (URSI). However, the specification of the ionospheric response to solar-geomagnetic disturbances in IRI remains largely incomplete, and there is currently no storm-time correction to IRI parameters in the E- region. Bio: Dr. Fernandez is currently an adjunct professor in the Department of Physics, Computer Science and Engineering at Christopher Newport University. Also he is an adjunct professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Old Dominion University. Prior to join CNU and ODU, he was a Post-doctoral associate at the NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton. He holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. His research and academic activities include electromagnetism, radar systems, and satellite observations of the ionosphere. .

Collins, assistant vice president for marketing and communications. Featuring a fearsome and proud African lion, the campaign can be seen on television and outdoor billboards, as well as in print and online. “The reaction from the community – both those connected with Old Dominion and those not – has been very strong and positive,” Collins added. “Hampton Roads is our pride, and it’s increasingly clear that Old Dominion is the community’s pride as well.” Learn more about Old Dominion’s work in the region and watch the commercials at roar.odu.edu.

Measuring and Promoting Social Mobility in the Commonwealth of Virginia
Measuring and Promoting Social Mobility in the Commonwealth of Virginia With the increased demand for college completion, higher education leaders in Virginia must develop systems to facilitate success for every college student, particularly historically disadvantaged students. Social mobility is the movement of individuals or groups from one socioeconomic status to another. By analyzing social mobility data, SCHEV, in partnership with Virginia higher education institutions, can develop strategies that improve access and close equity gaps for underrepresented students. Institutions that excel at providing opportunities and mobility often are not the ones that are highly ranked externally (e.g. by U.S. News & World Report). The Commonwealth’s current funding formula does not take into account the additional resources and time needed to provide opportunities and mobility to Virginians in greatest need. The state has the opportunity to better support institutions that excel at providing opportunities and mobility. Expanding college access for low-income and first-generation students is a tangible way to promote social mobility. Higher education must be accessible to students across the economic spectrum. We need to develop intentional strategies to retain economically disadvantaged students, improve college completion, and graduate these students into productive jobs. To advance economic mobility for low-income, underrepresented students, research shows that student support, academic resources, and financial assistance must work together. Providing a combination of financial assistance and support programs for low-income students is of paramount importance (Executive Office of the President, 2014; Kruger, 2018). This combination gives students the most traction to overcome disadvantages and propel them to degree attainment. When measuring social mobility in Virginia, it is important to define Underrepresented Minority (URM) which includes Black, Latinx, and Native American learners.

GRADUATE NEWS NOVEMBER 2016 MEET DR. JEFF TANNER: DEAN OF THE STROME COLLEGE OF BUSINESS __ __Dr. John “Jeff” Tanner, the dean of the Strome College of Business (SCB) has been electrifying our student body since he joined the Monarch nation in 2015. He came to ODU from Baylor University in Waco, Texas where he was a professor of marketing and founder of the Baylor Business Collaboratory, an innovative arrangement in which Baylor business minds and real world businesses develop solutions to market challenges. In this role, Tanner secured funds and research opportunities, which led to visible results and numerous publications. During his time at Baylor he held roles as the interim chair of the marketing department, associate dean for faculty development and research, associate dean for undergraduate programs, and acting executive director in the Center for Professional Selling. Outside of academia, he is also director of Korcett Holdings, partner in JKTanner Inc., and partner in BPT Partners LLC. He earned an BA and MBA from University of North Texas and a PhD in business administration from the University of Georgia. He is also credited with authoring over a dozen books and countless other refereed publications. __Dr. Tanner has a passion for improving quality of life. He has worked with a non-profit organization in Hampton serving at-risk adolescents for 11 years. During a visit in Summer ‘14, he had dinner with a fellow Monarch that initially piqued his interest in the available deanship at ODU. He accepted his nomination mainly because of the University’s desire to build entrepreneurship and emphasis on community engagement, efforts that aligned perfectly with his goals.
