SOUTHERN METHODIST UNIVERSITY Ninety-Third Annual COMMENCEMENT CONVOCATION Saturday Morning The Seventeenth of May Two Thousand and Eight at Half Past Nine MOODY COLISEUM THIS IS FLY SHEET - CURIOUS TRANSLUCENTS IRREDECENTS SILVER #27 TEXT DOES NOT PRINT GRAY THIS IS FLY SHEET - CURIOUS TRANSLUCENTS IRREDECENTS SILVER #27 TEXT DOES NOT PRINT GRAY SOUTHERN METHODIST UNIVERSITY In 1911, a Methodist education commission made a commitment to establish a major Methodist university in Texas. More than 600 acres of open prairie and $300,000 pledged by a group of Dallas citizens secured the university for Dallas, and it was chartered as Southern Methodist University. In appreciation of the city’s support, the first building to be constructed on the campus was named Dallas Hall. It remains the centerpiece and symbol of SMU. When the University opened in 1915, it consisted of two buildings, 706 students, a 35-member faculty, and total assets of $636,540. The original schools of SMU were the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Theology, and the School of Music. SMU is owned by the South Central Jurisdiction of the United Methodist Church. The first charge of its founders, however, was that it become a great university, not necessarily a great Methodist university. From its founding, SMU has been nonsectarian in its teaching and committed to the values of academic freedom and open inquiry. Today, Southern Methodist University offers a comprehensive curriculum through Dedman College – the college of humanities and sciences – and six schools: Meadows School of the Arts, Edwin L. Cox School of Business, School of Engineering, Perkins School of Theology, Dedman School of Law, and Annette Caldwell Simmons School of Education and Human Development. -

From Journalist to Dallas Mayor to Clean Energy Consultant
From Journalist to Dallas Mayor to Clean Energy Consultant Laura Miller has worked hard to build a wellknown name for herself in Dallas, Texas. Miller has worked for almost every newspaper in the city of Dallas including The Dallas Morning News, the Dallas Times Herald, The Dallas Observer, D Magazine as well as newspapers outside of Texas, the New York Daily, and The Miami Herald She was born in Baltimore, but moved around in the northeast as a child. Miller said she gained her strong sense for outrage when she was 11 years old, after a man who had gone to take an estimate of the collection’s value stole her great grandfather’s stamp collection. After that incident, Laura Miller began to set a pathway that would lead her into her future success. She soon got her first job as a waitress at 14, an example of the hard work and dedication she has pursued throughout her life. During her high school years, Miller’s family settled in Stamford, Connecticut where she discovered her love for journalism and her passion. There she was part of the school’s literary review, newspaper, and yearbook. Her love of penmanship as a child was also a contributing factor in her pursuit toward a journalism career. After high school, Miller attended the University of WisconsinMadison where she majored in journalism. During her undergraduate she had journalism internships all over the country and was the campus correspondent for Time magazine and the Milwaukee Sentinel. As a young woman, Miller was picked as one of the top Ten College Women in Vogue Magazine. -

The Biography of a Historically Significant African American School in Dallas, Texas
Journal of Social Studies Education Research Sosyal Bilgiler Eğitimi Araştırmaları Dergisi 2021:12 (1), 76-94 www.jsser.org Cinder and Soul: The Biography of a Historically Significant African American School in Dallas, Texas Vicki G. Mokuria1 & Diana Wandix-White2 Abstract This paper provides an approach for social studies education that includes investigative research into an old school building that has traditionally served predominantly African American children, along with a narrative inquiry into the experiences of one of that school’s former students. We offer a unique approach to experiential global citizenship education, in conjunction with an exemplar of this kind of social studies research. The first half of this paper is a “building biography” of N. W. Harllee School, followed by memories of Dr. Njoki McElroy, who attended Harllee as a young child. In the US, African American life is often misrepresented, devalued, or completely expunged from history books and historical documents. The implication of this novel approach to uncovering the truth about the education of African Americans in the 1930s is that educators around the world can use a similar approach to honor and highlight voices of marginalized people, creating rightful spaces for their stories in our collective history and memory. Key words: African American education, N. W. Harllee Elementary, Dr. Njoki McElroy, global citizenship education, Black Dallas history Introduction For years, social studies educators around the world have grappled with finding engaging ways for students to bring history to life, while connecting that history to students’ lives and further extending such links to the world. In this paper, we present a novel approach to conduct social studies research in order for students to broaden their understanding of the communities in which they live, as well as the social-historical-political roots linked to their immediate environments and the world at large. -
U.S. Senators: Vote YES on the Disability Treaty! © Nicolas Früh/Handicap International November 2013 Dear Senator
U.S. Senators: Vote YES on the Disability Treaty! © Nicolas Früh/Handicap International November 2013 Dear Senator, The United States of America has always been a leader of the rights of people with disabilities. Our country created the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), ensuring the rights of 57.8 million Americans with disabilities, including 5.5 million veterans. The ADA inspired the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) treaty. The CRPD ensures that the basic rights we enjoy, such as the right to work and be healthy, are extended to all people with disabilities. Last December, America’s leadership diminished when the Senate failed to ratify the CRPD by 5 votes. In the pages that follow, you will find the names of 67,050 Americans who want you to vote Yes on the CRPD. Their support is matched by more than 800 U.S. organizations, including disability, civil rights, veterans’ and faith-based organizations. These Americans know the truth: • Ratification furthers U.S. leadership in upholding, championing and protecting the rights of children and adults with disabilities • Ratification benefits all citizens working, studying, or traveling overseas • Ratification creates the opportunity for American businesses and innovations to reach international markets • Ratification does not require changes to any U.S. laws • Ratification does not jeopardize U.S. sovereignty The Senate has an opportunity that doesn’t come along often in Washington—a second chance to do the right thing and to ratify the CRPD. We urge you and your fellow Senators to support the disability treaty with a Yes vote when it comes to the floor.We must show the world that U.S. -
Laura Miller-Oral History
Laura Miller-Oral History Chase: I guess we will start from the beginning. You were born in Baltimore, right? Laura: Yes, born in Baltimore. Chase: You didn’t grow up there though. For most of your childhood, you moved around a lot of states in the northeast. Correct? Laura: Right. My dad was in retailing, and he started out in Baltimore where he grew up, and he worked at a store called Hamburgers, which was a clothing store. Then he moved to Filene’s in Boston, which was a well-known department store until 2005 when it became Macy’s. That’s why we moved up to the Boston area. So we lived just outside of Boston in a suburb called Stoneham for a short time; then we got a house in Concord, Massachusetts. Technically West Concord, Massachusetts, which is the more middle- class part of Concord, Massachusetts. So we got a house there, and I lived in Concord, Mass. until 8th grade, and then in the middle of 8th grade we moved to Stamford, Connecticut. That’s where I went to high school. Chase: Moving around, was that difficult for you? You have younger siblings, right? Laura: I have a younger brother and a younger sister. It was only difficult because I left in the middle of 8th grade, and my parents had gone through a divorce. So my safety net, my psychological safety net was a group of girlfriends of mine from middle school. One of them especially, who I played guitar with. We played James Taylor songs, and I wore blue suede boots, and I thought I was very cool. -
