By Dr. Joel Thierstein Provost/Vice President for Academic Affairs

October 26, 2012

Several faculty and scientists received funding from the USDA – NIFA 1890 Capacity Building Grant for a total of $1,200,000.00, consisting of teaching, research, and integrated projects:

o The Kentucky State University Summer Transportation Institute (KSU STI), funded by the Federal Highway Administration in the amount of $55,000, provided students with opportunities to discuss the importance of STEM education and participated in a video teleconference with representatives from the White House.

Ag Discovery Program, partially funded by the USDA Animal Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), Veterinary Services (VS) – National Civil Rights Leadership Committee (NCRLC) in the amount of $14,999, provided opportunities for students from Kentucky who have displayed an interest in animal science and veterinary medicine

The 15th Anniversary of the Third Thursday Thing Conference had over 450 participants from 12 states. The conference was coordinated by Dr. Marion Simon, designed to educate farmers, Extension Professionals, leaders, USDA agencies, and other organizations on sustainable agriculture.

Mr. Kalomo Bailey, KSU Marching and Symphonic Band Director performed at the Indianapolis Colts Home Opener Halftime Show in September; at Chicago September Football Classic in Chicago; and for Rev. Jesse Jackson at the Rainbow PUSH National Headquarters in Chicago in September.

Output. Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Society of Questioned Document Examiners, Charleston, South Carolina. August 2012.

Dean Sam Oleka will chair the National Council of Deans of Colleges of Arts and Sciences Committee on Cultural Diversity in Seattle Washington from October 30th through November 5th. He will participate in a panel discussion on: “How to Improve Student Retention and Increase Graduation Rates using a Well-designed and Engaging Academic Learning Committee”. He will also lead the Minority Deans' Breakfast discussion on: “Strategic Pathways for Minority Faculty Leadership Development”.

Dr. Shields has also been invited to be a plenary presenter at a major conference on environmental philosophy entitled "The Bifurcation of Nature" on February, 2013 at the Claremont Graduate University. He is currently working on a paper "Is Hartshorne's Environmental Ethic Reductively Consequentialist?" This summer He served as an invited referee for the prestigious Australian Journal of Philosophy, adjudicating a manuscript submission on fatalism and the senseless theory of truth."

New Library Hours – On September 21, 2012, Library hours were extended. The new hours are as follows: Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. until midnight Saturday – 1:00 p.m. until midnight Sunday – 2:00 p.m. until midnight

Sunday – 2:00 p.m. until midnight

- Student Survey – The Library conducted a student satisfaction survey. Students were also asked what changes they would like to see in a new or renovated facility. The findings from this survey will be used to help in the planning for a future Library renovation. Sixty-two students responded answering four questions.

Collection Management Services continued to process many interlibrary loan requests.

Courses Redesigned to Enhance Student Success, Accelerate Learning The Center for Innovation in Teaching, Learning and Assessment (CITLA) offered a summer Course Redesign Institute. Faculty from English, Mathematics and Nursing re-designed their courses based on student success principles and current research in order to promote a higher level of student success. Redesigned courses were: Math 095, 096, ENG 089, 099, Phys 101/102, and Nursing 315. Developmental courses were redesigned in order to accelerate student progress through Developmental Education and into credit-bearing

courses. Physics 101 and 102 were redesigned to focus explicitly on the Common Core Standards and assist preservice teachers in drawing upon the CCS in their future teaching. All courses are being piloted now or will be piloted in the Spring semester.

KSU Team Explores State of the Art in Accelerating Developmental English CITLA and Academics with Attitude (AWA) led KSU participation in the 2012 Conference on Acceleration in Developmental Education in Baltimore, MD in early June. The six-person team engaged in intensive workshops and meetings with researchers from across the country who are exploring ways to increase student success through decreasing the amount of time that students spend in Developmental Education courses. The team engaged in challenging workshops and demanding formal and informal sessions. Particularly noted were extensive dialog and discussions of potential collaboration with California's Acceleration in Context initiative. KSU has since been engaged in initial discussion with CPE about the possibility of fostering regional collaborative work between KY higher education institutions and the Acceleration in Context initiative.

On September 19 over 100 KSU faculty, staff and students traveled to Louisville, KY to participate in a daylong session at the internationally-acclaimed IdeaFestival. Thrivals 5.0, targeted to university students and faculty, is designed to immerse participants in intellectual engagement, innovation and entrepreneurship. CITLA, Regional Stewardship and Service Learning coordinated KSU's Thrivals participation and assessment. Several faculty designed classroom activities around Thrivals.

On September 20 Dr. Beverly Downing represented KSU and KSU's participation in the Wal-Mart AIHEC HACU NAFEO Student Success Collaborative at a NAFEO-coordinated congressional briefing in the Congressional Meeting Rooms. This briefing, focusing on the work of six HBCUs in the collaborative, illuminated the innovative work that KSU is doing to promote the success of underserved students. The KSU project team includes participants from AWA, ACE and CITLA, as well as KSU faculty and Academic Affairs staff.

KSU Faculty Come Together to Start the Year with a Focus on Assessment Over 200 KSU faculty and staff came together for two days in August for the Fall Faculty/Staff Institute. The focus of the Institute was Learning Outcomes Assessment. Each area (College, Department or Unit) represented developed an assessment plan around one outcome of concern to the unit. Participants engaged with speakers including Dr. James Minor, Southern Educational Foundation; Dr. Joel Thierstein, KSU Provost; KSU President Dr. Mary Evans, Sias and others. The Institute was coordinated by Academic Affairs and CITLA.

- Kentucky State University has submitted a proposal to the Kentucky Department of Transportation to coordinate a workforce development initiative for the Louisville Bridges project. If funded, this project will be estimated at over 2 million dollars annually for the duration of the initiative.

Dr. Shannon M. Brogan and Dr. Erin E. Gilles recently presented a panel entitled "A Walk to Remember: Engaging Students through Art, Communication, and Service Learning" at the 2012 Kentucky Communication Association Conference in Carrollton, Ky. The panel, which earned the 2012 KCA Top Reviewed Panel Submission, was presented with three KSU undergraduate students, Julian Jeter-Davis, Lerone Simmons, and Suncearae Spears. The panel was centered on a service-learning project in which KSU Speech Communication and Journalism students worked with community organizations to create a cell phone tour of Frankfort historical and art sites. This panel will include an overview of the project and a slideshow of student interviews, artists, and artworks. Students were assigned artists and sites to research and document for the tour. Students were trained in collecting oral histories and capturing the experiences through photography. This project aimed to broaden the horizons of KSU students through engagement in an off-campus community arts project.

The Access to Algebra program developed by Ms. Karen Heavin for high schools in the KSU region uses the tools developed by UK for its Web Homework System (WHS). The homework exercises are linked back to a textbook and include online videos illustrating problem solutions. Ms. Heavin works regularly with the high school math teachers in this impressive program. The Access to Algebra program is designed to expose students to the difficulty and rigor of a college course while they are still in high school. The participating teachers facilitate the course 5 days a week with access to the high school computer lab 3 to 5 days a week. The program offers students an opportunity to take the course onsite at their high school without the inconvenience of transportation difficulties of commuting to the nearest college or university. Students work in a learning environment supported by teachers, administrators and parents as well as after school programs and other additional support offered by their high school. The program offers high school seniors an opportunity to attempt the rigor of a college algebra course regardless of current math placement. Regardless of their final grade, we have found that students who diligently apply themselves gain valuable academic confidence and mathematical skill that are of immense benefit their freshman year of college. The Spring 2012 enrollment was 331 students with 8 schools participating and Fall 2012 enrollment is 107 with 7 schools participating.

Robert Mania is working with two KTIP mentees in the local middle school and is the campus representative for the Kentucky Space Grant.
