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.

Sánchez will speak at a public forum at 5 p.m. March 30 in Whittenberger Auditorium of the Indiana Memorial Union, 900 E. Seventh St., followed by a reception in the IMU East Lounge. Sánchez has a Ph.D. in higher education administration from IU Bloomington and has also been an administrator at the University of Wyoming and DePauw University.

Goldsmith will speak at 5 p.m. April 1 in the Wells-Metz Theatre, 275 N. Jordan Ave., followed by a reception in the Grand Hall of the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center. He has an Ed.D. in higher education administration and a B.A. in government from IU Bloomington. He has been an administrator at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Michigan State University, Old Dominion University and Western Illinois University.

Reesor will speak at 5 p.m. April 6 in Whittenberger Auditorium followed by a reception in the IMU East Lounge. She has a Ph.D. in educational policy and leadership from the University of Kansas and has been an administrator and faculty member at the University of Missouri-Kansas City and Wichita State University.
Walker-Johnson will speak at 5 p.m. April 8 in room 123 of the IU Maurer School of Law, 211 S. Indiana Ave., followed by a reception in the IMU East Lounge. She has a doctorate in education from the University of Pennsylvania and has been an administrator at Wellesley College, Hartwick College, State University of New York at Albany and Metropolitan State University in Denver.

The 16-member search committee includes faculty, staff, students and administrators and is chaired by Matthew Auer, dean of the Hutton Honors College and professor in the School of Public and Environmental Affairs.

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).

Student Perspectives on Accessibility

Presented by a Panel of IU Students
Wednesday, March 25th
Noon - 1:00 pm
IU Memorial Union - OAK ROOM

How do IU students with disabilities feel about campus accessibility? Is the physical campus easy to navigate? Are academic accommodations easy and appropriate? Is social life accommodating and welcoming?

This panel presentation will feature several IU students in a moderated discussion sharing their experiences living successfully with disabilities. The panel will be composed of a diverse group of undergraduate and graduate students with a variety of majors and disabilities. Panelists will touch on themes of academics and social life, awareness and stigma, attitude and etiquette, and with the audience, will explore the true meaning of accessibility.

Accessible University is a monthly series of presentations sponsored by the IUB Disability Roundtable. The purpose of the series is to educate the university community about accessibility issues and methodologies to create a more accessible university environment fully inclusive of students, faculty, staff, and visitors with disabilities.

The Accessible University series is a collaborative activity of IUB’s Disability Roundtable, coordinated by Vicki Pappas of the Indiana Institute on Disability and Community and Alice Voigt of the National Center on Accessibility.

Pass/Fail Deadline for Second Eight Week Classes

Friday, March 27th is the last day to sign up to take a second eight week class pass/fail.

If you are interested in taking a class pass/fail, please stop by my office (in the CMCL building at 800 E. 3rd Street, room 259) so we can complete the required paperwork.

Here is some information about the pass/fail option from the College of Arts and Sciences Bulletin (http://www.indiana.edu/~bulletin/iub/college/2008-2010/student.shtml#pass): “During the four years of their undergraduate program, students in good standing (not on probation) may enroll in a maximum of eight elective courses to be taken with a grade of P (Pass) or F (Fail). The Pass/Fail option is open for a maximum of two courses per academic year, including summer sessions. For the Pass/Fail option, the academic year is defined as beginning with the start of the fall semester and ending with the end of the second summer session. The course selected for Pass/Fail must be an elective (i.e., it cannot fulfill requirements other than the minimum 122 hours required for the degree, and the requirements for credit hours at the 300-400 level). It may not be used to satisfy any of the College of Arts and Sciences’ general education requirements, nor may it be counted as a part of the student’s concentration area, nor may it be counted toward completion of a minor or certificate program. The course or courses may be used to meet the requirement for courses at the 300-400 level.”

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.
