Kudos to Jennifer Betters-Bubon, associate professor in counselor education, who received the Professional Writing Award from the Wisconsin School Counseling Association (WSCA) at the 56th WSCA conference. Betters-Bubon’s research and writing has helped guidance counselors use Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS), which provides a framework for problem-solving and decision-making in educational systems. Betters-Bubon is a co-author of “Making MTSS Work,” and “The School Counselor’s Guide to Multi-Tiered Systems of Support.”
Kudos to Jodi Simek, senior coordinator for international student scholars, who has been appointed as a Regulatory Ombudsman on the regional leadership team of NAFSA: Association for International Educators. In the position, she will be a voice for issues and concerns from NAFSA Region 5, which includes Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan with 800 members representing more than 250 institutions.
Kudos to Anneke Lisberg, associate professor in biological sciences, and Stephen Levas, assistant professor in biological sciences and geography, geology and environmental Science, and their colleagues and students in the Wisconsin Alliance for Minority Participation program (WiscAMP).

Kudos to Eric Loepp, assistant professor in political science, for sharing ideas on successful online course design in a column in Faculty Focus, “What Students Want: A Simple, Navigable LMS Course Design.” Loepp discusses using learning management system software to create a learning hub for the class. “It (LMS) can—and should be more than it is,” he said.
