Six SCSU professors recently secured externol funding for projects they designed to promote octive leorning. The four gronts were mode by the Minnesoto State Colleges and Universities Center for Teaching and Learning with funds from the Bush Foundation.

DR. GRAMA RANGAMANI

Dr. Grama Rangamani, Communication Disorders, was aworded $11,000 to help students majoring in communication disorders actively learn group therapy methods for treating adults who have speech and language impairments due to a stroke or other neurological problem.

The project is part of a larger collaboration between the university and the St. Cloud Hospital called "Let's Talk Again - A Communication Outreach Program for Individuals with Communication Disorders Due to Neurological Problems. "

Let's Talk Again, which was funded by a CentraCare Foundation gront of $10,600, calls for developing language theropy follow-up groups for people whose therapy insurance coveroge has expired.

PROFESSOR JOAN WILCOX & DR. PATRICIA BRESSER

Professors Joan Wilcox and Dr. Patricia Bresser, Nursing Science, were awarded $15,000 to develop new partnerships with rurol, urban and tribal health care agencies so that SCSU nursing students can learn critical clinical proctices. The objective is to immerse students for one month in active learning that promotes health for people of color and in rurol communities. Students will share what they've learned with others on campus and in the community.

DR. SUSANTHA HERATH

Dr. Susantha Heroth, Business Computer Information Systems, received $5,000 to develop methods for student "learning-by­ doing" in computer security courses. Topics students cover in such courses include encryption and decryption, protection and trust issues in operating systems, security protocols, administering security, legal and ethical issues, and computer forensics .

Heroth will share the teaching guidelines she develops with instructors in other departments and extend them to technical and community colleges via workshops and the World Wide Web.

PROFESSOR RICHARD JOSEPHSON & DR. DORIS BOLLIGER

Professors Richard Josephson and Dr. Doris Bolliger, Learning Resources and Technology Services, were awarded $15,000 for classroom testing of a computer instruction model developed previously by SCSU faculty for use in private-sector troining. The model uses short video segments interspersed with computer­ generoted questions. Such interactive progroms could replace routine classroom presentations or lectures, allowing students to move at their own pace and freeing faculty for more one-on-one work with students. d g stu ents One th~usan thyi~~s at SCSU test their ma h'bition was a Chess Ex I • A Simultaneous f the Mathematics lar feature o h' ring. new, popu SCSU late t is sp lfth Contest held at 0 enth- through twe .

Students, grade-schoolers partner to write for pleasure

Organization, tone, grammar, punctuation, spelling - all skills possessed by SCSU students who work at The Write Place. The students are tutors who help the service center provide writing skills guidance to other SCSU students who request help.

Having those skills does not necessarily mean the tutors - or their students - take real pleasure in the writing experience, according to Frankie Condon, director of the center. Instead, she has found, young people often approach writing with "fear and dread."

So, earlier this year, Condon developed a program designed to turn writing into a more pleasurable experience. SCSU student-tutors were paired with first- through third-graders from Lincoln Elementary School , St. Cloud, for a "pen pal" correspondence.

Student pairs wrote to each other regularly. Each student learned about his or her pen pal's background and interests by way of letters written over several months. Not until after they had come to value writing as a communication tool did the pen pals meet one another in person.

Student tutors at The Write Place provide writing support to about 4,000 of their peers every year. Five former SCSU students'

Memories of people and places we treasure

Accomplishments of visionary leaders

Spirit of our past that stimulates our passion for the future

12 mory o Named in honor of SCSU's legendary eduGator and eighth president, Isabel Lawrence, St. Cloud State University's oldest buildi~g has been renovated to once again stand as a proud and stately reminder of our university's heritage. Rededication celebrations this fall paid tribute to President Lawrence and the tremendous influence she had on the professional and personal lives of thousands of graduates.

~ comes alive with international

By Marsha Shoemaker The handsomely renovated residence hall has become home to 100 international and American students with a particular interest in foreign languages or internati onal affairs. Li ving side by side they wi ll share a unique opportunity to exchange knowledge and expe ri ence. While representatives of many lands are learning how to live and speak Minnesotan, regional sons and daughters are abso rbing culture and languages from around the world. And with the offi ces of the Center for International Studies and fo reign language faculty occupying th e lower fl oors, Lawrence is a cosmopolitan oasis on this Mississippi River campus. I The transformation from dilapidated campus eyesore to uni versity point of pride has been a welcome change . After decades of pro viding on-campus housing fo r women, the aging Lawrence was retired from housing service in 1974. Only the baseni e.nt was used in recent years fo r the Math Skill s Center, and that moved out in 1999 when the structure was deemed unfit for use. After considering options, including razing, the university decided to pursue funding to restore the century-o ld hall to its original glory - complete with dormers and a cupola. The $6 million proj ect was in c,luded in the Legislatures 2000 bonding bill. I Lawrep.ce wasn't just considexed a building that could meet the growing demand for , -campus living space. It had special standing as an SCSU landmark with a ri~h past. The current Lawrence Hall was built in 1905 at a cost of $65,000 to house women students displaced when the original Lawrence burned to the ground. The first Lawrence Hall opened in 1885 and was given its name iIJ 1899, hbnoring the , v1s1onary7sabel Gtwrence, premier educator and fi rst female president of St. Cloud Srare University. !Preside t'Lawrence, whose progressive ideas and wide reputation as an authori tative author nd speaket l,rought international recognitioljl to the Normal School, would be pleased with th e global mission her namesake has acquired \vi th its gracious new facade.

Alumni of the St. Cloud Normal School were invited to a banquet honoring Isabel Lawrence on the occasion of her retirement in 1921. The invitation included a ;equest for written tributes to Miss Lawrence, and hundreds poured in that spring from graduates expressing gratitude for the tremendous influence this legendary educator had on their professional and personal lives. The letters and photographs filled four leather-bound volumes with words of appreciation and respect for the beloved teacher and past president (1915-16). They came from former students who had entered teaching, nursing and other professions throughout Minnesota and many states, as well as many foreign countries. On the evening of May 28, 250 alumni and dignitaries packed the Lawrence Hall dining room for a dinner in tribute to her devotion to the Normal School. Her retirement marked the passing o[ an era in two ways, as that same year the name and status of the college were changed. A member o[ the class o[ 1893 commented that "the state legislature chose an opportune time to change the name of the institution from the St. Cloud Normal to the St. Cloud Teachers College, for how could it be the Normal School without Miss Lawrence7" ln her 42 years as an innovative and inspirational leader o[ teacher training in Minnesota and throughout the nation, Isabel Lawrence's personality, ideas and leadership made permanent impressions on the character of the,inst,it.\)tion and on its students.

' share a century of memories

Ingeborg Bakke's portrait can be found among seniors in the 1926 St. Cloud Teachers College yearbook, while the strikingly similar face of identical twin Bertha is with graduates in the 1928 "Talahi." Starting college two years apart wasn't a choice for the girls who became Minnesota's oldest living twins. It was a necessity.

"They were church-mouse poor so they had to go to college one at a time - first mother, then Bertha, " said Ingeborg's daughter Joanne Bischoff, who helped host the twins' l 00th birthday party in June in Grand Rapids. It was a week-long celebration that attracted a surprising number of friends and relatives, as well as considerable media attention because, as television anchor Randi Kaye said in her WCCO-TV feature on the two women, "there are only three sets of identical twins in the world who are older."

Ingeborg Bakke Secker and Bertha Bakke Gieseking were born to Norwegian immigrant homesteaders Reidar and Barbro Bakke June 15, 1903, in an Aitken County hamlet known as Redtop. Their mother walked a mile each day from the family's two-room log cabin to a wet nurse to get enough milk for her twi n infants. Two of the girls' 10 siblings died befo re reaching their first birthday. When it was time fo r the twins to go to school , they made the two-mile trek in good weather and bad to the nearest one-room schoolhouse. Th rough winter snows they quickly soaked the boots their mother fashioned from a coat she'd brought from Norway in 1888.

Despite the hardships of ea rl y 20th century rural life, the twins stored wonderful memories of doing everything toge ther during their Minnesota childhood. Those memories have become increasingly difficult for the fragile women to recal l. But in Ingeborg Bokke in 1926 his 1996 StarTribune feature for their 94th birthday, StarTribune writer David Peterson extracted the twins' "images of a Currier & Ives childhood near the
