The new shelter will be more modern and efficient than the current 45 year old BISSELL EMPTY THE SHELTER EVENT October 14th, 2017 On October 14th, ICAC was one of over 75 shelters Another difference between this event and the previous in Michigan that participated in the highly anticipated spring event was that we had a lot of kittens available for “Empty the Shelter” event, which was sponsored by adoption this time. Adopters found it hard to resist their Bissell Pet Foundation. During these events, Bissell bright eyes and playful antics as they showed off their Pet Foundation covers the adoption fees for qualified best games. Our older, more mature cats were also on adopters, and provides each newly adopted pet with a their best behavior, purring in laps and “head-butting” starter kit that includes food, treats, toys and some home everyone in sight. cleaning products. At the end of the day, although our shelter was not The day started out slow due to a downpour of rain; completely empty, we still knew that we were part of a however, once the doors opened, people kept coming in bigger picture – across the state of Michigan, the Bissell Pet and checking out the adoptable animals. At the end of the Foundation had helped create a significant “win” in helping day, eight dogs and eighteen cats had found new homes thousands of shelter animals find new homes. and people to love them. Lots of caffeine and doughnuts and pizza fueled our rockstar volunteers while they slogged through the rain to make sure every adoptable dog was shown off to potential adopters. The volunteers who have participated in these events have said that it is one of the best ways to spend a volunteer day, since they know the event has such a big impact on the animals.

Dog houses were being donated across the mid-Michigan area; staff and volunteers were kept busy driving a shelter Thank you to all of our great community members who van near and far, picking up dog houses that citizens were have helped, and continue to help, to make this program a willing to donate; people were also bringing them to the success! BISSELL EMPTY THE SHELTER EVENT shelter in Mason and to the Outreach Center in Lansing. October 14th, 2017 Some generous donors made monetary contributions to purchase new dog houses. These newly purchased dog houses come unassembled, so Animal Control Officers will be able to keep one in their vehicle at the ready if they end up at a home in need. Lansing Community College construction framing students also contributed dog houses specifically for this program. These dog houses are huge and (as you can see in the photo) very sturdy. They will last for years at whatever home they end up at. Preuss Pets jumped in to help transport these dog houses to the shelter – it really does take a community! Thanks go to the employees of Preuss Pets for transport of these dog houses! 4TH ANNUAL HALLOWEEN PARTY This past October, we hosted our 4th Annual Halloween Party supporting ICASF, the Heroes and Villains Masquerade Ball. This year was our largest event by far, with nearly 150 shelter supporters dressed as popular heroes and villains from comics and film. The evening included a professional pumpkin carver, a silent auction, a costume contest, and a dance floor that was full throughout the night. The event raised over $7,000 to support the animals at Ingham County Animal Shelter! Guests were treated to unlimited desserts from Bake N' Cakes and Whipped, enjoyed massages from Creative Wellness, and were able to take part in a scavenger hunt to win cool prizes. The party took a crazy turn when shelter mascot, Chippy, broke out of the shelter and convinced the Imperial Force to kidnap the DJ in hopes of getting $100 in ransom to help his shelter friends get vaccines. Thanks to the generous party attendees, Chippy was more than successful, and the DJ was returned unharmed! The party then safely continued with psychic readings, caricature drawings, and signature drinks from American Fifth Spirits. A huge thank you to the planning committee, sponsors, and volunteers that made this event possible. We'll see you next year!

  • SOVIET MYTHS in POST-SOVIET CULTURE by DARIA SERGUEYEVNA KABANOVA DISSERTATION Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Commit
    SITES OF MEMORY: SOVIET MYTHS IN POST-SOVIET CULTURE BY DARIA SERGUEYEVNA KABANOVA DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature with a minor in Cinema Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2011 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Lilya Kaganovsky, Chair Professor Nancy Blake Associate Professor Anke Pinkert Associate Professor Richard Tempest ABSTRACT Do we treat 1990s as a gap, a rupture between the Soviet past and the post-Soviet present? Post-Soviet film and fiction certainly stage the break up of the Soviet Union and the end of Soviet rule in this way. Post-Soviet culture has left behind a certain set of Soviet cultural myths: the conquest of space, the normal functioning of Soviet life with clear sources of symbolic authority, the Soviet notion of heroism, etc. These myths have not been replaced with anything new. One can sense a real pause in films and texts from the late 80s and early 90s – as ideology, already exhausted by late socialism, takes a break. Eliot Borenstein speaks of the 1990s as a moment of a loss of national identity, of emasculation of Russian culture. Mikhail Epstein argues that the end of socialism created a loop in the time of national history, whereupon the Soviet future (communism) became the post-Soviet past. Aleksei Yurchak has shown that the utopian stability of the Soviet “forever” was lost in late socialism, staging a seemingly cataclysmic break up of the Soviet Union and its ideological constructs.

  • Improving Collegiate Teaching Through K 12 Outreach
    AC 2005-763: GRADUATE STUDENT PERSONAL EXPERIENCES: IMPROVING COLLEGIATE TEACHING THROUGH K-12 OUTREACH Daria Kotys-Schwartz, University of Colorado at Boulder Malinda Zarske, University of Colorado at Boulder Page 10.674.1 Page © American Society for Engineering Education, 2005 Session # 3455 Graduate Student Personal Experiences: Improving Collegiate Teaching through K-12 Outreach Daria Kotys-Schwartz and Malinda Schaefer Zarske College of Engineering and Applied Science, University of Colorado at Boulder Abstract In 1995, the National Science Foundation published recommendations for Systemic Engineering Education Reform.1 Almost a decade later, the engineering education community still strives to meet the long-term challenges that were set forth by the NSF Engineering Directorate. The goal still remains to educate graduating engineers to: Understand the functional core of the engineering process, Analyze and synthesize engineering problems, Become proficient working in teams, Think across disciplines, and Communicate ideas effectively to diverse groups. One of the key actions for sustaining such cultural changes is to train future engineering faculty to realize this new engineering education paradigm. Supported by National Science Foundation and U.S. Department of Education grants, the Integrated Teaching and Learning (ITL) Program’s outreach initiative has engaged engineering graduate and undergraduate Fellows in K-12 classrooms as science and math content experts and engineering role models for the past six years. One program goal is to improve the communication and instructional skills of engineering students, while providing them with classroom experience that serves as a foundation for those who pursue a career in academia. The program also seeks to enhance the graduate Fellow’s engineering education experience by improving their ability to teach to diverse populations.

  • Girls Made Of? the Discourse of Girl Power in Contemporary U.S
    WHAT ARE LITTLE (EMPOWERED) GIRLS MADE OF? THE DISCOURSE OF GIRL POWER IN CONTEMPORARY U.S. POPULAR CULTURE Rosalind Sibielski A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2010 Committee: Ellen Berry, Advisor Lesa Lockford, Graduate Faculty Representative Cynthia Baron Kimberly Coates © 2010 Rosalind Sibielski All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Ellen Berry, Advisor Beginning in the late 1990s, U.S. popular culture has been inundated with messages promoting “girl power.” This dissertation examines representations of girl power in the mass media, as well as popular literature and advertising images, in order to interrogate the ways in which the discourse of girl power has shaped cultural understandings of girlhood in the past twenty years. It also examines the ways in which that discourse has functioned as both an extension of and a response to social concerns about the safety, health and emotional well-being of girls in the United States at the turn of the millennium. Girl power popular culture texts are often discussed by commentators, fans and their creators as attempts to use media narratives and images to empower girls, either by providing them with models for how to enact empowered femininity or by providing them with positive representations that make them feel good about themselves as girls. However, this project is arguably limited by the focus in girl power texts on girls’ individual (as opposed to their structural) empowerment, as well as the failure of these texts to conceive of the exercise of power outside of patriarchal models.
