UND to conduct telephone interviews for VPFO

The University of North Dakota search committee charged with helping find a new vice president for finance and

operations will conduct telephone interviews with five candidates March 23-24.

The candidates include:

* Laura J. Block, chief financial officer, University of North Dakota Foundation, Grand Forks;

* Alice C. Brekke, interim vice president for finance and operations, University of North Dakota, Grand Forks;

* V. Scott Cole, (former) deputy executive vice president for business and finance, Arizona State University,

* Gregory J. Garber, assistant professor of finance and financial accounting, Concordia College, Moorhead,

Minn.

* Ashok Roy, assistant vice president for finance/CFO, Kennesaw State University, Kennesaw, Ga.

Robert Boyd, vice president for student and outreach services and chair of the search committee, said the

committee will determine who among those interviewed will be invited to participate in campus visits.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) through its NCRR division has available funds to be used for new buildings, building remodeling, and building supplements through the 2009 Recovery Act recently signed into law. The Division of Research is requesting Letters of Intent from any interested parties who would like to apply to the NCRR for any of these building-related funds. Because it is anticipated that proposals will need to be submitted relatively quickly, the deadline for receipt of these Letters of Intent will be Friday, March 20. If you have any questions, please contact Barry Milavetz, vice president for research, at 777-6736.

The University of North Dakota has been awarded $100,000 by the Bernard Osher Foundation to continue

funding for the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI). The Institute was established by UND in 2007 to create an open, accessible and innovative learning community for mature individuals in North Dakota and

northwestern Minnesota. https://apps.und.edu/uletterarchive/uletter.php?backID=51[7/10/2019 4:10:08 PM] The University of North Dakota | University Letter

The Benard Osher Foundation was founded in 1977 by Bernard Osher, a respected community leader in San Francisco. The philanthropic organization improves the quality of life for mature residents through post- secondary student scholarships, as well as art, cultural and educational grants. At present, the Foundation is supporting 123 Osher Institutes on university and college campuses in 49 states.

“This is really great news and ensures another year of this great program,” said Robert Boyd, vice president for student and outreach services.

The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute is the only OLLI in North Dakota. OLLI fosters accessible lifelong learning and personal growth for learners aged 50 and better by creating intellectually stimulating learning opportunities that will enrich their lives. Members are encouraged to participate in non-credit courses that are offered face-to- face at regular intervals during the year. Classes are taught by active or retired professors and professionals from UND or experts from the local community. Since the launch of the Institute in April 2007, OLLI@UND has a membership exceeding 300.

“I made new friends, learned things that really stretched my mind, and created a hunger for more,” said Penny Olson, an OLLI member in Grand Forks. “OLLI is something that is making my life fun and exciting!"

Tapestry, a vocal ensemble, will perform in the Museum Concert Series at 2 p.m. Sunday, March 22, in the

Museum galleries. Tapestry, founded in 1995, has established an international reputation for its bold conceptual

programming yhat combines medieval and traditional repertory with contemporary compositions. The Museum

Concert Series, founded in 1990, is a celebration of classical music that brings performers of international

repute to the Museum. It is the oldest chamber concert series in the region and draws a mixed audience of all

ages. Mayville State University shares the series with the Museum, hosting their performance on Monday

evenings.

Tapestry has won numerous awards, including WQXR and Chamber Music America’s Recording of the Year and,

most recently, the prestigious Echo Klassik Prize for their recording, "Sapphire Night."

Based in Boston, the ensemble made its concert debut in its hometown with performances of Steve Reich’s

"Tehillim" at Jordan Hall; additional Boston appearances include the Celebrity Series, Harvard, Radcliffe, and

Sanders Theater.

Other Tapestry engagements include the festivals at Utrecht, Maastricht, Flanders, Regensburg, the Hannover A Capella Woche, Le Donne in Musica Rome, Festival de Musique Sacree of Quebec, Le Domaine Forget, the Sacred Music Festival and the International Medieval Congress of Kalamazoo, as well as the Hildegard von Bingen Symposium at the University of Oregon, Da Camera of Houston series, Tucson Early Music Society, Cleveland’s Museum Concerts, New York City's Frick Collection, Metropolitan Museum of Art and Rockefeller University, Stanford University, and many others.

The Museum Concert Series is underwritten by a grant from the Myra Foundation, with support from the

Performing Arts Fund, a program of Arts Midwest funded in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, which

believes a great nation deserves great art, with additional contributions from the North Dakota Council on the

Arts, General Mills Foundation, and Land O’Lakes Foundation. Committed classical music lovers also contribute

an additional $50 on top of their season ticket to become sponsors who share in the cost of bringing great music to the community.

The Association of Residence Halls (ARH) Programming Board is sponsoring a program, “Put Out the Flames of

Hate - The Holocaust: Its Relevance Today,” presented by Tim Scott at 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 25, in 210

Clifford Hall. Students, faculty and staff are invited to attend.

Scott, a practicing attorney in Wisconsin, has spoken to thousands of students and adults about this tragic

period in history. Much more than a mere historical study of the Holocaust, however, Scott's presentation

makes this history relevant for Americans today by relating it to current developments in our nation,

communities and schools. Through the dramatic use of story, video, and slides, he uses the Holocaust history to

challenge the listener to identify the "flames" of prejudice, racism, bias or misunderstanding in his or her own

heart. In so doing, the Holocaust becomes a catalyst for positive personal growth and change for individuals,

communities and schools. Scott has law degrees from Eberhard-Karls University in Tuebingen, Germany, and from the University of Minnesota.

Faculty are encouraged to announce this event to students. -- Karina Stander, Assistant Director, Housing, [email protected], 777-2779

The Indians of the northern Red River Valley will be the subject of free lecture Sunday, March 29, sponsored by the Grand Forks County Historical Society.

The speaker will be David Vorland, secretary of the Society. He retired in 2005 after more than 30 years at UND, including stints as an instructor of journalism, director of University Relations, and executive assistant to the President. The illustrated talk begins at 2 p.m. in the Myra Museum on Belmont Road.

Vorland said the Society seeks partners to create a new major exhibit on Indian heritage.

“As with most county museums, we have focused mostly on the period of agricultural and urban settlement,” he said. “We also need to tell the story of the earlier history of the junction of the Red and Red Lake Rivers. For thousands of years, this place has been an important landmark and trading center.”

A prehistoric Indian presence has even been discovered on the Myra Museum grounds, he said. A recent

archeological dig recovered 294 artifacts documenting a hunting camp that existed in 500 A.D.

Vorland’s talk will cover the Indian presence from prehistoric times to the beginning of homesteading. Current

research, he said, is altering some long-held assumptions.

For example, the evidence no longer supports previous notions about the ferocity of the fighting in northern

Minnesota between the Chippewa and the Sioux. Skirmishes occurred, but the tribes also were trading partners.

It was not until the adoption of the horse in the mid-1700s that the conflict became deadly in what is now North

Dakota.

Eventually the Chippewa dominated the northern part of the Valley, the Sioux the southern part. At first, the

Chippewa enjoyed relative prosperity by collaborating with the Pembina traders. But the end of the fur business

in the late 1840s, followed by the disappearance of the buffalo, was disastrous for them.

In 1863, the Pembina and Red Lake bands signed a treaty transferring seven million acres of land to the federal government. When the flood of white settlers arrived a few years later, the Chippewa were gone from the Valley.

The Global Visions Film Series continues its sixth year at UND this spring, further exploring the themes of human rights, human dignity, and cultural variation. The Global Vision Film Series (GVFS) is a forum that promotes diversity in North Dakota through screening award-winning national and international films. The GVFS is sponsored by the students of the Anthropology Club in the Department of Anthropology, and is partially funded by the Multicultural Awareness Committee. Their goal is to provide the University and the Grand Forks

community with the opportunity to experience films of exceptional quality from around the world, providing a

broader understanding of and appreciation for the breadth, variety, and commonality of the human family.

Many faculty across disciplines assign GV films as extra credit assignments for students.

Seven foreign films will be screened this spring. All films begin at 7 p.m. on alternating Tuesdays until May 5.

The following films are upcoming:

• "City of Men" 2007 (Brazil), March 31 • "The Kite Runner" 2007 (Afghanistan), April 14 • "Times of Harvey Milk" 2008 (USA), April 21 • "Matt Sienkiewicz – Live From Bethlehem" 2008 (Israel documentary), May 5

Film Synopsis/Review By Stephen Holden The most disquieting moment in “City of Men,” a rootin’-tootin’ gangster movie shot in the notoriously lawless shantytowns overlooking the beaches of Rio de Janeiro, is also the most subdued. Acerola, aka Ace (Douglas Silva), an 18-year-old still carrying baby fat, admits that he is frightened and unprepared to care for his infant son as his wife, Cris (Camila Monteiro), leaves to find work in São Paulo. Although Ace loves his little boy, he is only a child in a man’s body himself, and he begs her not to go. For him to assume full parental responsibility is almost unimaginable.

In “City of Men,” directed by Paulo Morelli, Ace’s reluctance is more the rule than the exception. In the strutting, drug- and gun-infested culture of the favelas, young men who sire children aren’t expected to acknowledge them, and their tough, sullen wives and girlfriends have little choice but to tolerate the situation or leave. That’s

just the way it is in a hyper-macho environment with virulent homophobia.

Underneath their swagger, these teenage gangsters brood about the absence of their own fathers. Ace’s best

friend, Laranjinha, aka Wallace (Darlan Cunha), who is days short of turning 18, is especially obsessed with his

own paternity. As he approaches the numerical demarcation between child and adult, when he will need an

identification card stating his last name, he embarks on a concerted search for his father based on

neighborhood rumor.

Mr. Morelli’s film is a companion piece (not strictly a sequel) to “City of God,” the 2002 global hit directed by his

longtime collaborator Fernando Meirelles that featured some of the same actors, including Mr. Silva and Mr.

Cunha playing 11-year-olds. The new movie, written by Elena Soárez, is spun off from a successful Brazilian

television series of the same title that was shown on the Sundance Channel and is available on DVD. (Mr.

Meirelles was a creator of the television series and is a producer of the new film.)

That the sins of the fathers are passed on to the sons is the somewhat thudding message of a movie that

hammers home its point by having Ace and Wallace reach an impasse in their friendship that parallels the

relationship of their fathers two decades earlier. In a society of fatherless boys craving role models, glamorous

outlaws fill the void. “City of Men” is rated R (under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian). It has strong language and scenes of violence, but is not gory. -- Marcia Mikulak, Assistant Professor, Anthropology, [email protected], 777-4718

Arizona Aerospace Foundation Flight Training Center expands

The University of North Dakota Aerospace Foundation (UNDAF) and Chandler-Gilbert Community College (CGCC) Flight Training Center in Mesa, Ariz., recently celebrated the grand opening of a new $4.2 million, 22,000-square-foot facility in Mesa.

The facility is on the flight line at the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport, and includes a 15,000-square-foot hangar, and 7,000 square feet of office space that includes a state-of-the-art flight simulator.

“This facility shows the commitment of UND Aerospace and Chandler-Gilbert Community College to be leaders in aviation education,” said Don Dubuque, director for the UND Aerospace Extension Programs. Dubuque added that the collaboration among the two schools is a key ingredient in the healthy relationships needed for a successful program.

UNDAF partnered with CGCC in 1994 to provide a collegiate flight training program to meet the growing demands in the world-wide aviation industry in career fields such as professional flight, air traffic control, airport management, and aviation management. The CGCC/UND Flight Training Center, at the Phoenix-Mesa

Gateway Airport, intends to continue to use the new facility to educate those who would like to start a career in

one of the many aviation fields available. Students can obtain an A.A.S. degree from Chandler-Gilbert

Community College and through an articulation agreement can transfer, at any time, into the four-year degree

programs offered at UND.

Learn about crime prevention and the United States Cross Country Snowmobile Racing Series on the next

edition of Studio One. This week on Studio One, see how some neighborhoods are taking a new look at crime

prevention. Officer Brian Robbins from the Grand Forks Police Department will share tips to make homes less

appealing to burglars. Homeowners can prevent a break-in by using environmental features to protect their

homes. Robbins explains that many robbers avoid houses with natural surveillance. An open yard with minimal

trees allows neighbors or people in the area to easily detect any unusual activity. Also, well-maintained

properties can deter potential burglaries. Learn how to implement these crime prevention tips on the next

edition of Studio One.

Also on the show, the United States Cross Country Snowmobile Racing Series was held in an unlikely area. The frozen Red River served as a race track for this year’s racing series. The open river allowed plenty of space for racers to hammer the throttle.

Studio One is an award-winning news and information program produced at the University of North Dakota Television Center. The program airs live on UND Channel 3 on Thursdays at 5 p.m. Re-broadcasts can be seen at 7 a.m., noon, 7 p.m. and 11 p.m. daily and on Saturdays at 10 a.m. Prairie Public Television airs Studio One on Saturday at 6 a.m. The program can also be seen by viewers in Fargo, Bismarck/Mandan and Minot, N.D.; Minneapolis, Minn.; Denver, Colo.; and Winnipeg, Manitoba. -- Suzanne Schmidt, Marketing Director, Studio One, [email protected], 701-777-3818
