Learn to Disseminate Scholarly Contributions, Oct. 19, 21

An upcoming two-day workshop will help faculty curate their scholarly content for global dissemination.

NSUWorks, NSU’s institutional repository, and SelectedWorks, the online professional profile system, work together to curate content for the Digital Commons network of repositories for dissemination of your scholarly output to the world at large. Digital Measures is NSU’s internal review and tracking system for faculty to keep track of their professional activities.

Part one of the series will discuss how these three systems work at NSU, explain your college process for adding your scholarly contributions into these systems, and provide think-tank opportunities for the creation of new scholarly work for yourself and your students.  Part two will be a hands-on workshop experience to show you how to manage your SelectedWorks profile effectively on your own.

Part one will be held on October 19 from noon to 1 p.m. and part two on October 21 from noon to 1 p.m.

Mock-Injury Workshop Connects Theatre, Healthcare

During the Winter 2021 semester, B.A. in Theatre Technical Director and Adjunct Faculty Member Alexandra “Calypso” Hernandez taught an interdisciplinary workshop for students in THEA 2500: Healthcare Theatre, offered through the Department of Communication, Media, and the Arts in the Halmos College of Arts and Sciences, that brought together elements of medicine, theatre and humanity. The workshop offered students the opportunity to learn the art of moulage – the use of makeup to create mock injuries such as bruises, scars, and other skin abrasions for use in the training of healthcare professionals.

“The moulage workshop is not only fun and interactive but it integrates arts and sciences helping the college accomplish its mission,” said Bill Adams, professor and program director for the music and theatre programs.

Moulage provides a realistic instructional environment for students studying to become standardized patients (SP) in healthcare simulations. Students in the workshop learned how to provide essential feedback to the healthcare student rather than needing to imagine the pathology being examined in the simulation. This innovative approach using applied theatre is foundational in current healthcare training methodologies. Student standardized patients develop empathy for the patients they portray, and healthcare students benefit from the analytical focus on critical thinking skills observable in simulations.

NSU MD Holds Virtual Run for Pipeline Programs

NSU MD invites you to celebrate diversity in our communities and to support the building of our pipeline programs. NSU MD will host its 2nd Virtual Dash for Diversity 5K from September 25 to October 3, 2021.

We will come together virtually, across Florida and from coast to coast, to raise funds to support our pipeline programs with local middle and high schools. These enrichment programs engage middle and high school students who are socioeconomically disadvantaged and underrepresented in medicine through mentorship and various science, technology, engineering, and math related activities.

Through these programs, we aim to encourage a diverse group of students to consider a career in medicine, as well as to give them the support that they need to make these dreams a reality. Funds raised from the 5K will go directly into these pipeline programs to help us continue to grow our engagement with the community. Read about our pipeline programs. 

The 2021 Virtual Running of the NSU MD 5K Dash for Diversity can be run at the time and location that works best for you between the beginning and ending dates of the event.

Halmos Faculty Present Juneteenth-inspired Panel Discussion

In June, Halmos College of Arts and Sciences writing, arts and politics faculty members joined together to present an interdisciplinary Juneteenth-inspired panel discussion for the NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale titled “Looking Forward, Looking Back: Freedom, Afrofuturism and Reflections on Juneteenth.” The free virtual event took place on Saturday, June 19, and featured three Halmos College faculty members: Ransford Edwards, Ph.D., assistant professor of politics for the Department of Humanities and Politics; Kandy Lopez-Moreno, associate professor of art + design for the Department of Communication, Media, and the Arts; and Rachel Panton, Ph.D., assistant professor of writing for the Department of Communication, Media, and the Arts.

The event launched “Community Voices,” NSU Art Museum’s new initiative supported by the Community Foundation of Broward that focuses on exploring social and racial inequalities and challenging social structures, including representation in museums. “Looking Forward, Looking Back: Freedom, Afrofuturism and Reflections on Juneteenth” kicked off the series and examined the historical context of emancipation, as well as the ongoing tension between the rhetoric of recovery and an imagined and unenslaveable Black future in art, literature, and pop culture.
