  • Rice Public Art Announces Four New Works by Women Artists
    RICE PUBLIC ART ANNOUNCES FOUR NEW WORKS BY WOMEN ARTISTS Natasha Bowdoin, Power Flower, 2021 (HOUSTON, TX – January 26, 2021) In support of Rice University’s commitment to expand and diversify its public art collection, four original works by leading women artists will be added to the campus collection this spring. The featured artists are Natasha Bowdoin (b. 1981, West Kennebunk, ME), Shirazeh Houshiary (b. 1955, Shiraz, Iran), Beverly Pepper (b. 1922 New York, NY, d. 2020 Todi, Italy), and Pae White (b. 1963, Pasadena, CA). Three of the works are site-specific commissions. The Beverly Pepper sculpture is an acquisition of one of the last works by the artist, who died in 2020. Alison Weaver, the Suzanne Deal Booth Executive Director of the Moody Center for the Arts, said, “We are honored to add these extraordinary works to the Rice public art collection and are proud to highlight innovative women artists. We look forward to the ways these unique installations will engage students, faculty, staff, alumni and visitors in the spaces where they study, learn, live, work, and spend time.” Natasha Bowdoin’s site-specific installation will fill the central hallway of the renovated M.D. Anderson Biology Building, Shirazeh Houshiary’s glass sculpture will grace the lawn of the new Sid Richardson College, Beverly Pepper’s steel monolith will be placed adjacent to the recently completed Brockman Hall for Opera, and Pae White’s hanging sculpture will fill the rotunda of McNair Hall, home to the Jones Graduate School of Business. The four works will be installed in the first four months of the year and be on permanent view beginning May 1, 2021.

Yet new international student enrollment is down dramatically across the United States. International students contributed nearly $41 billion to our economy last year. During the 2018 – 2019 academic year, international students created or supported more than 458,000 jobs. That’s three jobs created for every seven international students who chose to study here. International education is the fifth-largest U.S. service sector export. Part of the American strength has been to be a global recruiter The most recent U.S. Department of State Open Doors® report, of talent … There are people like published by the Institute of International Education, this all over the world whose views reported a 0.9% decline in new international student enrollments; have been shaped very positively this is the third consecutive year of decline in new international student enrollment at U.S. colleges and universities. by their experience here … That just seems like the strongest form of soft Data show that international students and scholars feel less safe and power we’ve seen and we simply less welcome in the United States than the previous year surveyed. ought to not be giving that up.

  • New Criteria for German Chancellor Fellowship the Humboldt Foundation Recently Revised Eligibility Criteria for the German Chancellor Fellowship
    STRATA Spring 2008 New Criteria for German Chancellor Fellowship The Humboldt Foundation recently revised eligibility criteria for the German Chancellor Fellowship. In this program as in other AvH programs, the Foundation has replaced age-based eligibility with the time elapsed since receipt of the appropriate degree. Effective with the current application round, applicants must have received a bachelor’s degree fewer than twelve years prior to the beginning of the fellowship. Thus, for the fellowship year beginning September 1, 2009, applicants must have received a bachelor’s degree after September 1, 1997. The deadline for applications from U.S. citizens is October 31. The German Chancellor Fellowship is intended for career-oriented individuals from any profession or field of study who show outstanding potential for future leadership. It is the only Humboldt Foundation program that does not require a Ph.D. and that is not oriented towards ad- vanced research. Selected fellows represent the private, public, not-for-profit, cultural, and academic sectors. Successful candidates have come from social and policy sciences, government, law, journalism, communications, management, finance, economics, architecture, humanities, public service, and environmental affairs. Applications from the life sciences and engineering may be considered if the topics have a compel- ling social or humanistic dimension. Applicants design individual projects tailored to their professional development and goals and decide where to pursue them. They must also identify a German host/mentor who agrees to provide professional assistance throughout the twelve-month program year. Ten awards are given annually in the United States. In August 2007 the Foundation announced that eligibility for the Humboldt Research Fellowship would be career-based.

  • Dream Letter MLZ Edits 7.27
    The Honorable U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer The Honorable U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell Hart Senate Office Building, 322 317 Russell Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 July 19, 2021 Dear Leader Chuck Schumer and Leader Mitch McConnell, As business, education, civic and faith leaders around the country we join together to call on the U.S. Senate to pass the bipartisan Dream Act of 2021, reintroduced by Senators Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC), which would provide Dreamers, their families, and the employers who depend on them much-needed certainty following years of legal limbo. Nearly 80 percent of all voters and more than half of Republican voters believe in protecting these young immigrants, according to a Pew Research Center Poll. Yet the decision issued by Texas federal district court Judge Andrew Hanen threatens the very existence of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), which protects Dreamers from deportation. The decision blocks any new initial applications for DACA. While Judge Hanen allowed current DACA recipients to continue filing their renewals, he warned that an order stopping the processing of renewals could be issued in the near future. This decision throws into further limbo the lives of hundreds of thousands of young Dreamers, and gravely impacts their employers, families, and communities. It makes starkly clear why Congress must seize the opportunity to finally pass the bipartisan Dream Act of 2021, and end this constant rollercoaster of lawsuits and uncertainty. If Congress cannot move forward swiftly in a bipartisan manner, then we call on the Senate and Congress to pursue a roadmap to citizenship through all available mechanisms — including budget reconciliation.
