Vice provost candidates to visit IU Bloomington
Four candidates for the position of vice provost for student affairs and dean of students at Indiana University Bloomington will visit the campus and speak at public forums during the next two weeks.
Dick McKaig, the current vice provost and dean of students, will retire this summer. He has been with Indiana University since 1971 and has been dean of students since 1991.
A search committee, working with the executive search firm Greenwood/Asher & Associates, selected finalists to visit campus and take part in interviews with students, staff, faculty and administrators. The four candidates, and the dates when they will be on campus, are:
• Frank D. Sánchez, associate vice chancellor for student affairs, University of Colorado at Denver; March 30-31
• Harold "Pete" Goldsmith, vice president for enrollment management and student affairs, Kent State University; April 1-2
• Lori M. Reesor, associate vice provost for student success, University of Kansas; April 6-7
• Geneva M. Walker-Johnson, dean of students and chief student affairs officer, Old Dominion University; April 8-9
"Dick McKaig has worked tirelessly on behalf of IU Bloomington students for almost four decades," said Provost and Executive Vice President Karen Hanson. "The campus will miss his wise leadership and his dedication to the success and well-being of all students. He has set the highest standards for the Office of Student Affairs, and the search committee has been mindful of that. Dick is an extremely tough act to follow, but we are excited about the excellent group of candidates that the search committee has recruited."
Hanson will select the vice provost and dean of students, subject to approval by the IU Board of Trustees.

A search committee, working with the executive search firm Greenwood/Asher & Associates, selected finalists to visit campus and take part in interviews with students, staff, faculty and administrators. The four candidates, and the dates when they will be on campus, are:
• Frank D. Sánchez, associate vice chancellor for student affairs, University of Colorado at Denver; March 30-31
• Harold "Pete" Goldsmith, vice president for enrollment management and student affairs, Kent State University; April 1-2

"The campus will miss his wise leadership and his dedication to the success and well-being of all students. He has set the highest standards for the Office of Student Affairs, and the search committee has been mindful of that. Dick is an extremely tough act to follow, but we are excited about the excellent group of candidates that the search committee has recruited."
Hanson will select the vice provost and dean of students, subject to approval by the IU Board of Trustees.

Optician/Technician Program
Currently Accepting Applications/Courses Open
IU School of Optometry
Optician/Technician Program
This program is great for students who would like to learn a marketable skill
in an exciting health field
in two years or less!
No worries finding a job with this degree!
The Optician/Technician Program at the IU School of Optometry leads to an Associate of Science degree and qualifies graduates to enter a variety of positions in the ophthalmic field. Some students combine our courses with other fields of study and earn bachelor degrees. Recently, we have had students combining our courses with majors such as, Music and the Bachelor of General Studies through the School of Continuing Studies. Our students learn a marketable skill that is in high demand.
Many graduates work assisting eye doctors, performing a variety of functions in the eye care practice. For those who prefer a different setting, the prescription optical laboratory is an option. Some graduates establish themselves as independent opticians. Others work for the ophthalmic lens, frame, or contact lens companies that supply eye care professionals.
There are two courses in the Optician/Technician Program open to any interested students. (Students don’t need to apply to the program or get permission to enroll. They just register for the course.) In the fall semester, V201 Anatomy and Physiology of the Eye is offered and in the spring semester, V153 Ophthalmic Dispensing is offered. Course descriptions can be found in OneStart in the schedule of classes or by going directly to the URL below and selecting “OPT”.

Interesting Summer Courses in American Studies
AMST-A 200: Comparative Racialization in the United States
Clark Barwick
Summer 2009, Session I
T, W, TR 10AM-Noon
3 Credit Hours, Distribution Credit: A&H
In 1903, W.E.B. Du Bois predicted that the “problem of the color-line” would be America’s greatest challenge in the twentieth century. During Du Bois’s time, many Americans viewed race primarily as a white-black issue. However, as America has become more complex, there is less consensus as to exactly what terms such as “race,” “racial identity,” and “racism” actually mean. For instance, what social and political value do categories such as “Indian American” or “African American” or “Asian American” continue to hold in today’s age? Can we establish any basic shared experiences among Americans of color? How do whites perform their “whiteness”? And what happens when Americans identify with more than one racial and/or national heritage?
In this course, we will place a number of perspectives—from anthropologists, to Supreme Court justices, to filmmakers, to activists— in conversation, in order to establish a workable history of race in America and to enrich our understanding of how race is learned, experienced, and lived. Emphasis will be placed on how race is constructed in popular culture, and we will look at texts ranging from fiction by Junot Diaz and Bharati Mukherjee, to films by Spike Lee and Wes Anderson, to recent episodes of South Park and The Office.
AMST 201 (Course # 5421): U.S. Movements and Institutions
Topic: Cultural Paranoia and the Contemporary Hollywood Misdirection Film
Instructor: Seth Friedman
(3 cr. hrs.) A & H
T-F 3:30PM - 4:20PM; Weekly film screenings, M 3:25PM – 5:30PM
Since the early 1990s, there has been a spate of Hollywood films such as The Sixth Sense (1999), The Usual Suspects (1995), and Fight Club (1999), which are renowned for their surprise endings. All these films possess a similar narrative structure; they each contain a revelation that encourages spectators to reinterpret retrospectively all that has come before. This class will investigate the reasons why this long-standing narrative mode has proliferated in the U.S. over the past two decades. It is significant that some U.S. audiences have been drawn to films that demand greater interpretive work than what is typically needed to decipher the standard Hollywood fare. To address this apparent paradox, we will examine the socio-cultural and industrial conditions that have made misdirection films attractive to both Hollywood producers and some U.S. audiences over approximately the past twenty years. We will attempt to determine why an audience for these films has recently formed. Specifically, we will address why films containing narratives that suggest that the “truth” is being concealed from view have become so appealing to a significant segment of U.S. spectators. We will focus on questions such as the following: What relationship do films and other forms of media have to the culture in which they are produced and consumed? What can the popularity of contemporary misdirection films tell us about the acceptability of different modes of interpretation in the U.S. since the early 1990s? How do communities form from specific interpretive practices? What can these films tell us about contemporary racial and gender politics in the U.S.? What connection do these films have to the development of new home-viewing technologies, the rise of the Internet, and other recent changes impacting the U.S. media industries? To help us respond to these questions, we will read selections from a variety of disciplines such as Anthropology, Film and Media Studies, History, Literary Studies, and Political Science.
Films will likely include the following: Arlington Road (1999), Fight Club (1999), Jacob’s Ladder (1990), Memento (2000), Psycho (1960), The Sixth Sense (1999), Unbreakable (2000), and The Usual Suspects (1995).

FILM FESTIVALS, INTERNSHIPS, and MORE from the BLOOMING ARTISTS AGENCY
Campus MovieFest presented by Blooming Artists Agency
Campus MovieFest, created in 2000 by students at Emory University, has grown into the world's largest student film festival. The founders at Ideas United, LLC, have had the privilege of sharing their passion with students around the globe while working with great partner companies – including AT&T and Apple – to make the events possible.
Campus MovieFest is a unique film festival because students of all majors and experience level are given everything they need to write, shoot, and edit a short film in seven days. Campus MovieFest is the only event of its kind to provide thousands of student teams with Apple laptops, Panasonic HD camcorders, and training. In addition, hundreds of local musicians provide the best independent music that students have permission to use as their soundtracks. CMF is coming to IU and will take place March 26-April 1st and the finale showcase will be April 9th. The deadline to register is March 26th. Teams can register online at http://www.campusmoviefest.com/events/indiana/index.html
The movie-making events culminate in unforgettable finales, with the on-campus showcases attracting thousands of students and staff.
The finale will be held April 9th, 2009 at the Buskirk-Chumley Theatre.

March 6 underground screening
Hello all, this week underground will present the Stan Brakhage epic Tortured Dust. This is a great chance to see one of Brakhage's greatest achievements, a powerful film that is rarely screened.
******************************
Filmmaker and scholar R. Bruce Elder has called Tortured Dust Stan Brakhage's major project of the 1980s. A four-part, silent film dealing with many of Brakhage's familiar themes (domesticity, mythopoesis, visual perception), it is often overlooked in his enormous body of work. Refracting the break-up of Brakhage's first marriage through thematized colors, expressive use of focus, and his characteristic editing rhythms, the film can be seen in some ways as a sequel to his 1960s monument, Dog Star Man. (90 min.)
*******************************
The underground film series is sponsored by Indiana University's Department of Communication and Culture. All screenings are on alternating Fridays at 7 p.m. in room 251 of the Radio-TV building on the IU campus. All screenings are free and open to the public, and free parking is ample in the lot adjacent to the building, provided you clearly display an underground flyer on the dashboard of your vehicle.

Summer Language Study at Indiana University
Looking to fulfill language requirements in a fast and exciting way? Interested in less common Western European languages that can give you an edge on the job market? Have a love for Dutch or Scandinavian art, culture, or history? Then take advantage of one of two great summer opportunities right here at IU through WEST!
The 2009 Summer Dutch Institute (SDI) and National Institute for Scandinavian Studies (NISSS) each offer a full year of language instruction in just 8 weeks’ time. Running from May 18-July 10, courses are offered in introductory and intermediate Dutch, introductory Swedish, and introductory Norwegian. Highly qualified and experienced language professors will teach these languages in a small, personal setting for three hours a day. Undergraduates earn 8 credits for the entire sequence, and graduate students earn 6. Plenty of other field trips, cultural events, and social activities are also included in the 8-week program.
As a new addition this year, one-week-long Dutch and Nordic culture courses are also being offered immediately prior to the language courses. Come a week early, from May 11-May 15, for this special opportunity! For one credit each, highly acclaimed professor Michelle Facos will teach on Dutch and Nordic Art, and International Studies professor Per Nordhal on migration and integration from Dutch and Nordic perspectives.
Check out the following websites for more information:

Don’t let this unique opportunity right here on the Bloomington campus to immerse yourself in Dutch and Scandinavian language and culture pass you by!
The 2009 Summer Dutch Institute (SDI) and National Institute for Scandinavian Studies (NISSS) each offer a full year of language instruction in just 8 weeks’ time. Running from May 18-July 10, courses are offered in introductory and intermediate Dutch, introductory Swedish, and introductory Norwegian. Highly qualified and experienced language professors will teach these languages in a small, personal setting for three hours a day. Undergraduates earn 8 credits for the entire sequence, and graduate students earn 6. Plenty of other field trips, cultural events, and social activities are also included in the 8-week program.
As a new addition this year, one-week-long Dutch and Nordic culture courses are also being offered immediately prior to the language courses. Come a week early, from May 11-May 15, for this special opportunity! For one credit each, highly acclaimed professor Michelle Facos will teach on Dutch and Nordic Art, and International Studies professor Per Nordhal on migration and integration from Dutch and Nordic perspectives.
