APPENDIX B SELECTED FACULTY AND STAFF RECOGNITIONS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, EMU 1991-2004 Items in this Appendix were taken from the 1991 through 2004 issues of Monday Re- port.58 The years reflect content in issues of the Monday Report between July 1 of one year through June 30 of the following year. As a result, there may be minor discrepancies in terms of the year when the activity actually occurred. Within each year, entries are in no order, except that they are generally in the order in which they appeared in Monday Report and, as a result, they may or may not be in the order in which they actually occurred. This is undoubtedly an un- der-reporting, in that some faculty members chose not to make their professional activities known at/near the time they happened, reporting them only, and later, in documents for promo- tion/tenure, etc., if at all. In the interest of space, almost all references to titles (except for books) or topics have been omitted. With few exceptions, all references to “time” (dates, “recently,” “next week,” etc.) have been omitted. Verbs have been changed to past tense. Variations on individual’s names are as they were included in the original Monday Report listing, and I apologize for any misspellings or other mis-uses. Frequently-mentioned organizations are given using acronyms, typically after being identified in full once. Questions can legitimately be raised as to why certain types of items are included, espe- cially considering the great bulk of this Appendix. There is a deliberate reason for doing so. For example, co-authors/co-presenters are included to show the great extent to which COE faculty members worked with students/staff, with colleagues from elsewhere in EMU, and with col- leagues from other institutions and agencies. Service anniversaries are included to show the con- siderable relative stability of the COE faculty during this 13-year period. In some cases, avoca- tional accomplishments (poetry, political involvement, etc.) were included to show involvement with intellectual activity outside of “work.” Media references were included to show how the university, local, state, national, and even international communities knew of the fine work being done by the faculty and staff of the EMU COE. Relatively small awards from EMU offices (such as travel grants) were included because, as university-wide competitive grants, COE fac- ulty members deservedly achieved a disproportionate number of these. 58 There are two exceptions, in that the contents of Monday Report #154 of October 3, 1994 and Monday Report #466, of June 25, 2001, were not readily available for inclusion. It is possible that other issues have been inadvertently overlooked in the preparation of this material. I apologize for any such omissions of faculty/staff ac- complishments. 345 1991-1992 Faculty members who joined the COE this year included: Jennifer Beller, Lynne Rock- lage, Jim Berry, Olga Nelson, Christina Jose-Kampfner, Anne Bednar, Terry Rupert, Bill Price, Kathleen Beauvais, Jane Goodman, Sue Stickel, William A.
