Halmos Faculty’s Book Prepares Future Professors

Writing faculty in the Halmos College of and Arts and Sciences are demystifying the professoriate and bringing to light the invisible, behind-the-scenes work done by new faculty with their new book “Stories of Becoming.”Authors Claire Lutkewitte, Ph.D., Juliette Kitchens, Ph.D., and Molly Scanlon, Ph.D., associate professors of writing for the Department of Communication, Media, and the Arts, are providing graduate students — and those who train them — with specific strategies for preparing for a career in the professoriate using findings from a multiyear, nationwide study of new faculty in the field of rhetoric and composition.

“We wanted to provide future colleagues with a text offering the kinds of insight we had wanted as we transitioned into the profession — a text informed by the various, and often wildly diverse, experiences of those who had most recently gone through it,” Kitchens said. “What we found inspired us to recommend strategies that we hope future colleagues will find helpful.”

Through the use of stories, the authors also share their collaborative research processes of conducting a nationwide survey, qualitative interviews, and textual analysis of professional documents.

The book, published by Utah State University Press, will be released this fall.

Halmos Partners with Montachem to Explore Global Plastics

This coming fall, the Department of Humanities and Politics in the Halmos College of Arts and Sciences and Guy Harvey Oceanographic Research Center will launch a new experiential opportunity for students in partnership with Montachem International Inc.  Montachem is a leader in the distribution of thermoplastics and plastic resins to producers around the world. 

The “Global Issues, Student Solutions” initiative will provide an opportunity for undergraduate students at NSU to explore the role of plastics in the modern world, develop an understanding of the challenges posed by plastics pollution, and provide solutions that might be implemented in individual communities around the world.  “Global Issues, Student Solutions” will run as a case competition in a section of Global Issues, the introductory survey course in the B.A. in International Studies program.

Students in this course will have the opportunity to engage in a team research project on plastics as a global issue and the results of this research will be disseminated at the end of the semester.  Montachem International will provide insight and access to resources for the student teams working on this challenge, in addition to making a generous donation to support undergraduate research in the DHP.

“Plastics are essential to everyday life around the world, these materials are used in simple and very complex applications from can liners (trash bags) all the way to interior components in airplanes to medical instruments and even body parts” according to J. C. Avila, Chief Operating Officer of Montachem International.

According to Ransford Edwards, Ph.D., assistant professor in DHP and instructor for Global Issues, the section in which the “Global Issues, Student Solutions” case competition will take place, “tackling global issues often starts with local solutions.”  He notes that “this problem-solving course will tap into the curiosity and ingenuity of our students as we explore aspects of sustainable development. Students will have an opportunity to investigate, get a little hands-on, and collaborate with a variety of stakeholders to address this issue related to our use of plastics.”

Remembering 1989 Osteopathic Alumnus Gary Cohen, D.O.

Dr. Gary Cohen

On the morning of June 24, the world watched in horror as a portion of the 12-story Champlain Towers South building in Surfside, Florida, collapsed, claiming the lives of more than 100 people, including class of 1989 Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine alumnus Gary Cohen, D.O., whose body was recovered from the rubble and identified two weeks later.

Cohen, who was a respected physician at the Tuscaloosa VA Medical Center in Alabama, was in an 11th-floor condo in the Champlain Towers South building when the collapse occurred. He had come to South Florida to visit his terminally ill father and was staying with his brother Brad Cohen, M.D., who also perished.
