FALL 2002 VOL.7 ISSUE 2

From the ChairpersonAs I have watched the construction process on

our new building take place over the past sixmonths I am reminded of how critical all theunseen things are to the success of any endeavor.The old building was torn down and there was anexcitement about the future. Then came thequestions of, “Why isn’t anything happening.”“Do they need our help?” Progress washappening but it was done behind the scenes toensure success of the project. Over the pastmonth the structural steel has gone up. Watchingthem work reminds me of a group of big kidsplaying with an erector set. I wondered if any ofour current students’ ever had to follow a plan tobuild one of the elaborate creations that I use toplay with as a child.

Then in the introductory class I wasreviewing with the students the history of theFamily & Consumer Sciences field and thehistory of our department on campus. As a partof this, the students were asked to put generalhistorical events and FCS related events into atimeline. Next they were asked to write about

how some of thoseevents have impacted theway they live their livestoday. The groundworkthat others laydetermines the successfor us in the future.Knowledge about andappreciation for the pastbrings a new respect forthe efforts of others andfor understanding the potential for the future.

As we move into this next year to begin thecentennial celebration of our department and ofour institution, we will help students to recognizethe value of the past in opening the doors to theirfuture. We will also help students to developthose habits that will allow their knowledge tomake a difference. Please join us in our efforts tocelebrate as we begin our next 100 years ofmaking a difference.

Making Memories,Impacting Generations, aninterview withRuth Rohde –by Cris Elliott

Making memories, that’s what RuthRohde has done throughout her life. She hasetched the vision of home economics in theminds of countless people. These memories

and visions were acclaimed in the Pittsburg Junior High classroomwhere Ruth spent 18 years teaching and motivating young people. I amone of those people. Ruth was my supervising teacher for pre-lab backin 1974. I have wonderful memories of observing her classroom andadmiring her natural talents with people. She was truly an inspirationto me and many other FCS professionals.

Ruth grew up in Minden Mines, Missouri. In 1937 she got abachelors degree in home economics from Kansas State Teacher’sCollege (What is now PSU). Her first job was teaching at Lamar HighSchool. It was there that she met her husband, Martin. They weremarried in 1939 and had three children: Mary Anne, Drexel and Steve.Ruth pursued her career in education by both teaching and serving asprincipal at South Radley between the years of 1955-1960. She startedteaching at Pittsburg Junior High in 1962 where she retired in 1981.

The classroom is not the only place that Ruth has contributed. Shehas always been an active member of the Pittsburg community. Someof the organizations that she has been especially active in include: PhiUpsilon Omicron, Delta Kappa Gamma, Sigma Sigma Sigma, KNEAand the First United Methodist Church.

Ruth is an outstanding alumnus for numerous reasons. She spentmany years educating young people about the philosophy and purposeof home economics. This knowledge multiplied over severalgenerations to improve the quality of family life in the Pittsburg area.Throughout Ruth’s teaching career, she also took the time to superviseand train many PSU students. Her classroom provided a stage forfuture teachers to gain experience and observe a caring and competentprofessional. Mary Kay Caldwell, former teacher and co-worker said,“she practiced the three F’s of teaching: firm, fair, and friendly.

Ruth has witnessed firsthand the revolutionary changes of ourprofession over the years. She can offer a wealth of information aboutfamily and consumer sciences and the journey we have survived. I lovevisiting with her about her early years in teaching and what herclassroom was like. It’s a nostalgic trip back through many changesand transformations. Strong, professional women like Ruth made thosechanges happen.

Today, Ruth continues to support our department through herongoing encouragement and support of students, faculty and staff. Weextend our heartfelt appreciation for her continuous efforts as werecognize her as an outstanding alumni of our department. Thanks,Ruth.

Interview with Ann Altenhofen,Class of 2001 –by Duane Whitbeck

Some students come into thedepartment not sure where theywant to go, but knowing theyhave it within their power to makea difference. Ann was one of thosestudents. As a senior, Ann wasvoted by her peers as theoutstanding senior in EarlyChildhood Development during

2001. Ann is currently working for the Child AdvocacyCenter in Pittsburg. Her job is to work with familieswhere abuse has taken place and prepare them for theircourt experience. Ann was interviewed because she isone of the new professionals from FCS that is quicklymaking a difference in her chosen professional field.

Following a class tour to The Children’s Center ofSouthwest Missouri during her freshman year, Ann seta new career goal to work in the field of children’sadvocacy. That experience led her to her currentposition working in a similar program in SoutheastKansas. Ann currently helps to establish case reviewprocesses and assists in facilitating interagencycommunication. She is anticipating future training inforensic interviewing, and graduate school in socialwork or law.

When asked what helped her to be successful, Annsaid that she learned through her courses and workexperience to analyze things and look at the bigpicture. Other important lessons were to be politicallyastute, learn to listen before you talk, be willing to takeinitiative when you can make a difference and to beself-confident.

Ann said she regularly uses what she learned in herFCS courses. One point she made was that studentsdon’t realize that “having to write papers and makepresentations helps to develop critical skills necessaryfor working as a professional after graduation.”Students need to put themselves in positions wherethey can attend professional meetings, take onleadership roles in student organizations, and tonetwork. “College is as much the habits you pick upwhile there, as it is the knowledge you learn about yourspecific discipline.”
