Kudos to Kenny Yarbrough, chief equity, diversity and inclusion officer, who was recently appointed a fellowship with the National Association of Diversity Officers in Higher Education. The mission of NADOHE is to lead higher education towards inclusive excellence through institutional transformation.
Kudos to Joan Cook, interim associate vice chancellor for academic assessment, Catherine Chan, interim director of academic assessment and Kim Adams, student services program manager, who presented at the Association of American Colleges and Universities Conference in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 23. The presentation titled “Student Employment as a High Impact Practice: Transforming Current Mindsets and Practices” highlighted UW-Whitewater’s campus practices and student reflections.
Kudos to Jo Ann Oravec, professor of information technology and supply chain management, whose article titled “Digital Latrognesis and Workplace Marginalization: Some Ethical Issues Involving Self-tracking Medical Technologies,” was published in the Information, Communication & Society Journal on Jan. 30. The article focuses on how self-tracking medical technology can perpetuate economic discrimination.

In the Media
|
Anna Hajdik, lecturer of languages and literatures, was recently published in the MinnPost for her opinion on the often negative assessment of the Iowa caucus. “What the caucuses have unequivocally done for Iowa and the Midwest as a whole is provided more media coverage to a region of the country that remains overlooked and underestimated by coastal elites,” said Hajdik.

Scott Noseworthy, a sophomore music major, recently had the opportunity to play his 130-year-old violin in its original Massachusetts birthplace. The violin, constructed by famed craftsman George E. Bryant in 1889, was created in what is now the Middlesex Community College Academic Arts Center. “It’s wonderful to have this historical connection come back to help us celebrate the reincarnation of this fantastic building,” said MCC’s President James C. Mabry.

Scott Peters, professor of educational foundations, shared his knowledge on the shifting demographic of gifted education programs. “Program leaders should make sure that school events or assignments for gifted students are accessible for low-income families. You can’t just identify more students without providing the services they need,” said Peters.
