COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES ANNUAL REPORT Executive Summary The College of Arts and Sciences plays a significant role at the University through its advancement, support and execution of College and University-wide initiatives that ensure student success from recruitment to graduation and beyond. The CAS promotes academic success through its promotion of high impact pedagogical practices and disciplinary best practices, including ongoing assessment. The College also actively engages in community partnerships with local organizations, schools and universities. These partnerships positively impact the surrounding community, region and world. Our graduates engage in the larger community, not only as life-long learners, but as life- long change makers. The CAS serves all undergraduate students at Northeastern, housing the General Education-Distributive Learning Program, offering developmental education programs, as well as offering 26 majors and 48 minors across the Fine Arts, Humanities, Natural Sciences, Social/Behavioral Sciences, Mathematics and Professional Studies areas. The CAS also serves graduate students in 16 disciplines and certificate programs. Our faculty and staff continue to provide an exceptional environment for teaching, learning and scholarship. In 2017, the College of Arts and Sciences conferred a total of 1110 degrees. The CAS continues to generate the most credit hours in the University, offering 66,060 of the total 88,886 credit hours, or approximately 74% of the total credit hours generated in Fall 2016. The College of Arts and Sciences had yet another very productive year. The year began with two of our CAS students selected to attend the RNC and DNC conventions in August. Fall 2016 saw the launch of the new MSW program just as the Social Work program celebrated its 30th anniversary, and the opening of the Math Community Center, which supports student success, on the third floor of the Bernard Brommel Hall. Faculty scholarship was high in 2016-2017, with CAS faculty publishing over 200 articles or abstracts, books or book chapters. The Bernard Brommel Distinguished Research Professor Award went to CAS faculty Tony Adams (CMT) and the 2016 Audrey Reynolds Distinguished Teaching Award to CAS faculty Ana Fraiman (Chemistry). 4 Cindy Voisine, Biology, was awarded a Fulbright Scholars award to conduct research in Germany in Fall 2016, and Christina Bueno, History, received a National Endowment of Humanities award to work on research in Summer 2017. CAS faculty were awarded major grants such as the National Science Foundation STEM+C award (Rachel Adler, Computer Science; Joseph Hibdon, Math; Jennifer Slate, Biology; Sudha Srinivas, Physics with GCOE faculty), NSF grant Robert Noyes (Joel Olfelt, Biology; Matt Graham, Math; with GCOE faculty), and a Google grant (Computer Science student team mentored by faculty Rachel Trana, Computer Science). CAS students were active and engaged participants at the 8th annual Student Center for Science Engagement (SCSE) Research Symposium in Fall 2016 and at the 25th Annual NEIU Student Research and Creative Activities Symposium in Spring 2017. CAS faculty also played a significant role as organizers and participants in the NEIU 8th Annual Faculty Research Symposium in November 2016. In addition, NEIU hosted two international conferences in Spring 2017 – The 7th Annual International Conference on Risk Analysis (ICRA7) in May 2017, and the Peer Led Team Learning International Society (PLTLIS) Conference in June 2017. Now in its third year, is the English & Math Enrichment, Readiness, and Growth Experience (EMERGE) Summer Program. This free program continues to support incoming freshmen in gaining the skills needed to successfully place into English 101 and into higher levels of Math for their first fall semester. Of the 34 students who completed the EMERGE English Program, coordinated by John Armour, 79% of the students placed into college-level coursework for Fall 2016. For the EMERGE Math Program, coordinated by Sarah Cordell, Katherine Bird, Joseph Hibdon, and Stevan Ranney, 84 students participated and 80 retook the math placement test. The scores of 64% of students who retook the math placement test advanced them at least one level in Math, 34% at least two levels, and 9% at least three levels. On average, students advanced 1.06 levels in Math. We welcomed twelve new faculty members in Fall 2016: Katie Duffy (Art), Sarah (Watkins) Fabian (Communication, Media and Theatre), Stacy Goguen (Philosophy), Matthew Graham (Math), Orin Harris (Physics), Casey Holtschneider (Social Work), Nabil Kahouadji (Math), Ulugbek Nurmukhamedov (Teaching English as a Second Language, English Language Program), Alex Peimer (Geography & Environmental Studies), Katherine Petersen (Music), and Rachel Trana (Computer Science). In the area of promotion and tenure, three CAS faculty members were promoted to full professor: Christina Ciecierski (Economics), Lesa Davis (Anthropology), Chielozona Eze (English). In addition, 6 CAS faculty were promoted to associate professor and granted tenure: Wilfredo Alvarez (Communication, Media and Theatre), Brandon Bisbey (World Languages and Cultures), Francisco Iacobelli (Computer Science), Brooke Johnson (Sociology), Shayne Pepper (Communication, Media and Theatre), and Joshua Salzmann (History). Three faculty from the College of Arts and Sciences were among the December 2016 Chair Meritorious Award Recipients: Jade Stanley (Social Work), Saba Ayman-Nolley (Psychology), and Shayne Cofer (Music). Nanette Potee was awarded emeritus status in 2017 and was honored at the May 2017 Commencement. 5 Fourteen of our CAS faculty received a Faculty Excellence Award for the 2016-2017 academic year. In the area of Service: Timothy Barnett (English); in the area of Teaching/Primary Duties: William Adler (Political Science), Elyse Bolterstein (Biology), Nabil Kahouadji (Mathematics), Tracy Luedke (Anthropology), Rachel Trana (Computer Science), Shan Wang (Mathematics); and in the area of Research/Creative Activities: Rachel Adler (Computer Science), Christina Bueno (History), Chielozona Eze (English), Sarah Fabian (Communication, Media and Theatre), Adam Messinger (Justice Studies), Masami Takahashi (Psychology), and Zhonggang Zeng (Mathematics). We would like to recognize the achievements of several CAS instructors who received NEIU Instructor/Academic Support Professional/Academic Resource Professional Excellence Awards: Olivia Cronk (English), Nikolas Hoel (History), Cheryl Park (Biology), Freddy Ann Porps (Computer Science) and Robert Ritsema (Communication, Media and Theatre), and Daniel Wirth (Communication, Media and Theatre). In addition, Kip D. Conwell (Biology) was one of the recipients of the Administrative & Professional/Civil Service Annual Employee Excellence Awards. The success of the College of Arts and Sciences is due to our dedicated and talented faculty and staff who make it possible for the CAS to offer a rich learning experience and abundant opportunities for intellectual discovery, within an inclusive environment that helps students develop their individual worldview, and acquire social and cultural awareness.

  • Embodying Disobedience, Crafting Affinities
    Southeastern Women’s Studies Association Conference Embodying Disobedience, Crafting Affi nities March 26-28, 2020 Department of Women’s & Gender Studies University of South Florida Welcome to SEWSA 2020! Welcome to SEWSA 2020: “Embodying Disobedience, Crafting Affi nities,” organized and hosted by the Department of Women’s & Gender Studies of the University of South Florida Tampa campus, and held on the beautiful, waterfront USF St. Petersburg campus. With over 230 presenters, more than 300 attendees, and a long list of exhibitors and supporters, this year’s conference is one of the biggest ever. We believe this increase in size and interest is indicative of the value that the fi elds of women’s studies, gender studies, race studies, LGBTQ+ and queer studies, and all the other fi elds of inquiry and activism represented at SEWSA 2020 hold in the national, regional, and transnational landscapes in these historic moments -- and our conference theme refl ects this. With the theme “Embodying Disobedience, Crafting Affi nities” we wish to approach embodiment and diverse lived experiences as the lifeblood of resistant politics and the livelihood of building alliances across our many differences. As 2020 marks the 59th quadrennial presidential election, the centennial of the 19th Amendment, and the fi ftieth anniversary of the fi rst women’s studies program, we want to remember the ways in which women’s studies has linked theory to practice, not only to transform the present but also to know the past differently and to imagine and create a world beyond it. We are especially delighted to welcome two amazing speakers: Loretta Ross will speak on Calling in for Reproductive Justice, discussing the future of the reproductive justice movement, and how to use calling-in strategies to strengthen our activism and scholarship.

  • 2017 Focus on Faculty Publication
    FOCUS ON FACULTY 2017 MESSAGE FROM THE INTERIM PRESIDENT It is my great pleasure to recognize and celebrate the scholarship, teaching, service and overall excellence of our faculty at Bellarmine University. I am profoundly grateful for our faculty’s devotion to classroom instruction that challenges students, and for their support in helping our students to meet those challenges. This volume, however, demonstrates the considerable time, imagination and energy that our faculty give to pursuits beyond the class- room—researching, publishing, creating works of art, leading study-abroad courses and service-learning trips, and providing expertise in the community. These and other accomplishments have allowed Bellarmine University to become a private institution of significant stature—the premier Catholic uni- versity in the South and the leading private institution in the Commonwealth and region. We are proud to showcase our faculty in this publication, which is organized around these goals of Bellarmine’s Strategic Plan: • Celebrate our Catholic identity in the inclusive Merton spirit as the founda- tion of our commitment to student fulfillment, global consciousness and environmental sustainability; • Establish and sustain a climate of excellence throughout the university; • Integrate an international focus and sensibility into all curricular and co-curricular programs; and • Enhance our reputation, expand our market and dramatically grow our enrollment. Achievements listed here represent work that was completed from the fall of 2015 through the end of calendar 2016. They vividly illustrate how Bellar- mine’s excellent faculty bring our mission to life—by educating talented, diverse students of many faiths, ages, nations, and cultures, and also through their scholarship and service.

RICHARDSON* Institute of Biology, Leiden University, Leiden, The Netherlands ABSTRACT Clifford J. Tabin has made pioneering contributions to several fields in biology, including retroviruses, oncogenes, developmental biology and evolution. His father, a physicist who worked in the Manhattan project, kindled his interest in science. Cliff later chose to study biology and started his research career when the world of recombinant DNA was opening up. In Robert Weinberg’s lab, he constructed the Moloney leukaemia virus (MLV-tk), the first recombi- nant retrovirus that could be used as a eukaryotic vector. He also discovered the amino acid changes leading to the activation of Ras, the first human oncogene discovered. As an independent researcher, he began in the field of urodele limb regeneration, and described the expression of retinoic acid receptor and Hox genes in the blastema. Moving to the chick model, his was one of the labs that simultaneously cloned the first vertebrate hedgehog cognates and showed that sonic hedgehog functions as a morphogen in certain developmental contexts, in particular as an organizing activity during limb development. Comparative studies by Ann Burke in his lab showed that differences in boundaries of Hox gene expression across vertebrate phylogeny correlated with differences in skeletal morphology. The Tabin lab also discovered a genetic pathway responsible for mediating left-right asymmetry in vertebrates; helped uncover the pathways leading to dorsoventral limb patterning; made contributions to our understanding of skeletal morphogenesis and identified developmental mechanisms that might underpin the diversifica- tion of the beak in Darwin’s finches.
