These updates help to demonstrate the day-to-day activity Concordia is taking steps to actively share its story through and perspective of the department that a brochure or phone some its most vocal advocates, members of the faculty. call cannot. One way faculty members are stepping up to the recruitment challenge is by finding ways to share Concordia’s story through the regular duties of their positions. Dr. Jim Juergensen, chair of the education department, reports, “The recruiting thing becomes part of everything we do.” Juergensen spends time preparing student teachers to represent Concordia well before they go out to their assignments. “Student teachers are in a unique position to let others know about Concordia, and they are our best ambassadors,” he says. When faculty members meet with principals and key teachers as they supervise current student teachers, they make sure to ask photo: Karen Chittick Karen photo: about high school students who would fit well at Concordia.

Additionally, I post about things that our Faculty members also enjoy receiving feedback for their current students or alumni are doing.” efforts. “It is very rewarding when updates bring comments,” said Associate Professor of Biology Jan Whitson. “It lets Other groups around campus have also started Facebook us know that people care about what is going on in the pages.

The students, seniors Student showcase Megan Birnstein, Kimberly Francis and Lauren Onions, and junior Todd Meier are all from the Kansas City area. Donald Robson, chair of Concordia’s art department, was the curator for the exhibit. Robson feels providing such real world opportunities are essential for art students. “I had a one-person show at Imago Dei this summer. The director asked if I would be interested in curating a show for Concordia students. I jumped at the chance as it was a great opportunity for our students,” explained Robson. Onions had three paintings and two ceramic vessels in the show. “The surfaces of both vessels are textured and meant to engage the viewer in thinking about the pot as a whole as well as considering individual areas that they find beautiful,” she explains. The paintings also emphasize Onion’s philosophy about the engagement of the audience with her art. “Instead of just passively walking around artwork in a gallery space, I want my work to help all people to be able to think and talk about the specific work they are seeing or art in general on some level.” Showcasing his skills as both an abstract and realistic artist, Meier included three paintings in the exhibit. Francis exhibited representational and abstract prints and paintings. Birnstein’s oil and acrylic paintings explored the idea of perception, especially as she sees it in her family history. “Preparing for an exhibition and talking about their work at a public venue is invaluable for students in their development as artists,” says Robson.

Having successfully negotiated with the administration to lengthen dorm hours last year, student senate members decided to take on another major project by spearheading a campaign to update the Janzow Campus Center. “We wanted to continue the momentum from the dorm hours,” reports junior Rachel Brainard, senate vice-president. Updates After assessing needs around campus, the senate members decided that their energy would be best spent working to the Janzow Campus Center to update the widely-used common area on the top floor of the campus center. A true student-led movement, students voted to assess themselves a

Blowing away Tornado Alley

Concordia alumnus Michael Frates ’08 has always had a love of severe weather, and his breakthrough research on tornadoes echoes just that. “As a child growing up in western Nebraska,” Frates muses, mixing boyhood wonder with science, “I was fortunate to witness severe weather on a regular basis. I spent many hours studying the atmospheric phenomenon happening around me, especially tornadoes and mesoscale storm systems. It wasn’t until I started graduate school that I had the opportunity to apply my passion for weather in a geographic context.” While working on his master’s degree at the University of Akron, Frates studied the distribution of tornadoes with tracks greater than 20 miles in geographic regions that encompass most of the central and eastern United States.

feedback. I am currently making some enhancements to the original research and plan to present this at the 2011 aag conference in Seattle, Wash.,” said Frates. Frates’ research was also featured by msnbc, The Washington Post, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Discovery News, and Science News. Frates attributes much of his success to his time studying at Concordia and to Dr. John Kinworthy, professor emeritus. “Essentially, I owe everything to Concordia,” said Frates. “Dr. John Kinworthy first introduced me to gis and pushed me Photo(s) by Bob by Kropff Photo(s)

Originally, it started as a project for an advanced importance of Dr. Kinworthy to his success. course in Geographic Information Systems (gis) at The Frates cites Concordia as a whole, however, for how his life University of Akron, but I continued to refine the research has been shaped. “Without Concordia, my life would be after I completed the course,” said Frates. dramatically different. The professional faculty, helpful staff Contrary to widely held beliefs, Frates’ research shows and dynamic students all contributed to the best four years that the most severe tornadoes (those classified as F3, of my life. I miss it every day.” F4 or F5) actually occur in a region referred to as “Dixie Alley” which spans across eastern Texas, parts of Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, Tennessee and into northeast Georgia. The part of the Midwest commonly known as “Tornado Alley” comes in second in the frequency ... of tornadoes according to the study. “I formally presented my findings at the Association of American Geographers [aag] conference in Washington D.C. in April of 2010 and received a wealth of positive Alumni Notes
