UWM Report - September 2010

September 2010 • UWMREPORT • 1

he University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee is a caring community, and this year campus lead-

ers are putting a renewed emphasis on what “care” means to our climate. The focus is on sharing and communicating how we all have a stake in creating a caring environment.

Building a caring community is a campuswide effort including university administration, multi-cultural centers, the First Year Center, Human Resources, Neighborhood Relations, the Norris Health Center, the Student Affairs Division, the UWM Police Department and community partners.

“UWM, a Caring Community” includes efforts to improve the safety and well-being of students, faculty and staff, but also is a broader effort to connect the diverse members of the campus community.

“To be a successful campus, we need to see and use our connections with each other in a caring way,” says Vincent Adesso, professor of psychol-ogy, special counsel for human relations and diversity, and a member of the “UWM, a Caring Community” planning team. “We need to offer a hand when we see someone in need. We need to connect people with the resources they need. We cannot walk away and say it is someone else’s problem.”

New Safety MeaSureS One part of the effort to build a caring commu-

nity is to encourage students, faculty and staff to look out for each other’s safety. “The campus is a safe place and we want to keep it that way,” says UWM Police Chief Mike Marzion. He adds: “Each community member plays a role in keeping the campus safe.”

A number of new safety measures, created in a collaboration that involves campus administra-tion, university police, Student Affairs, University Housing and neighborhood partners, will support efforts to keep the campus a caring – and safe – community.

“Working with our campus partners, we are pleased to have several new initiatives that will effectively increase safety on and near campus imme-diately,” says Marzion. • The number of S.A.F.E. Walkers (Safety

Awareness For Everyone), trained student securi-ty officers who patrol the campus and the blocks surrounding UWM, is being doubled, from 16 to 32. This will allow the patrols to expand the time they spend patrolling and increase security visibil-ity in the surrounding neighborhoods.

• The addition of numerous security cameras is significantly increasing the ability of police to monitor activity in the campus area and extend resources into those areas.

• The campus police department has received six additional bikes from the Milwaukee Police Department for its bike patrol and security program, for a total of 12 police bikes and four security bikes. The additional bikes allow more trained bicycle officers to patrol the campus and neighborhood, increasing police visibility in the area.

• The Student Affairs Division, in collaboration with University Housing, is expanding and coor-dinating safe transportation options on campus and in the neighborhoods. “We’ve added more vehicles, expanded hours, and made these safe

Major developments at uwM under Chancellor Carlos e. Santiago, July 2004–august 2010

uwM’s best days are aheads I informed the campus two weeks ago, I will soon be leaving my position as Chancellor

to become the new chief executive officer for the Hispanic College Fund, a national, nonprofit organi-zation based in Washington, D.C.

The decision to leave UWM is a diffi-cult one because of the great satisfaction I have had working with all of you these past six years. In that time we have made great prog-ress in helping UWM meet its mission of serving the people of Wisconsin through our academic, research and community service efforts. I am proud

of the work we have done to help make UWM an engine for economic growth and to set the stage for the next 30 years of university growth.

It has been especially satisfying to help maintain UWM’s commitment to provide access for a broad range of students seeking a better life for themselves

and their families through higher education.In my new position at the Hispanic College

Fund, I will devote my time to making access to a college education a possibility for Hispanic students throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. The Hispanic College Fund is focused, has a national reach, and is pushing forward a unique focus on the entire education pipeline for Hispanic young people: from precollege to postgraduate students. It is a professional opportunity that will allow me to work towards goals that I have been deeply committed to throughout my career.

Because my resignation will not be effective until Oct. 1, I have an opportunity to spend time working with UW System President Kevin Reilly to ensure a smooth, orderly transition in leadership on our campus.

I look forward to visiting with many of you to say good-bye and thank you for your professional-ism, dedication and friendship. I have been privi-leged to serve as your Chancellor. UW-Milwaukee is a wonderful university, and I know that its best days are ahead.

• Two new academic schools, the School of Public Health and School of Freshwater Sciences, were approved – the first new academic schools at UWM since 1975.

• Access to Success – a campuswide initiative designed to help students achieve greater success, especially during their first year – was implement-ed. In the first four years of the program, the overall retention rates of all UWM students from their first to second years has increased almost 4 percentage points. For UWM students of color, retention rates have increased nearly 10 percent-age points.

reSearCh• Extramural research has increased from $36

million (2003-04) to $68 million (2009-10), an increase of 89 percent.

• Catalyst Grant programs were started at UWM through the UWM Research Foundation (launched in 2006). The first is in advanced automation and is funded by the Rockwell Automation Charitable Corporation. Subsequent Catalyst Grant programs are funded by the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation and the Richard and Ethel Herzfeld Foundation.

real eStateThe $240 million UW–Milwaukee Initiative

was approved by the state legislature and Gov. Jim Doyle. Its six main projects are:

• Construction of a Freshwater Sciences Initiative research building ($50 million) adjacent to the existing Great Lakes WATER Institute. Specific funding for this project has been approved by the state.

• Construction of a Kenwood Integrated Research complex ($75 million) on the northwest corner of Kenwood Boulevard and Maryland Avenue. Specific funding for this project has been approved by the state.

• Acquisition and redevelopment of Columbia St. Mary’s Columbia campus medical facilities ($31 million). Specific funding for this project has been approved by the state and awaits final Board of Regents approval.

• Purchase of a replacement for the Neeskay research vessel ($20 million). This project is proposed.

• Creation of a Public, Community and Clinical Health facility in downtown Milwaukee in support of the UWM School of Public Health. This project is proposed.

• Acquisition and creation of Innovation Park on the Milwaukee County Grounds in Wauwatosa. This project is proposed.Through the UWM Real Estate Foundation,

created in 2005:• RiverView Residence Hall (488 beds) opened in

January 2008 on the west bank of the Milwaukee River at North Avenue.

• Cambridge Commons Residence Hall (700 beds) is scheduled to open in late August 2010 on the east bank of the Milwaukee River at North Avenue.The halls, which were privately funded and

involved no state dollars in their construction, repre-sent an investment of about $75 million.

transportation options more accessible and conve-nient for students,” says Jim Hill, interim vice chancellor for student affairs.

• An additional B.O.S.S. (Be On the Safe Side) van has been added to the existing fleet, bringing the total number to 11 vans.

• B.O.S.S. service hours have been expanded. The B.O.S.S. vans, which offer rides to any student needing transportation, now run from 6 p.m. to 4 a.m. Sunday through Saturday.

• B.O.S.S. van routes will be coordinated with University Housing shuttles, with B.O.S.S. vans focusing on the areas around the Kenwood campus and housing shuttles covering the route between the main campus and Kenilworth Square Apartments, Cambridge Commons and RiverView residence halls.

• Two new 24-passenger shuttles have been added by University Housing this summer, bringing the total number of vehicles to seven. The University Housing shuttle transportation program operates year-round, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

• Also new, any student or faculty/staff member – not just students in the residence halls – can ride the housing shuttles from 6 p.m. to 7 a.m. Signs will be posted on the housing shuttle routes iden-tifying the “Panther Stop” locations.

• Stops and routes for the shuttles will be clearly marked. The University Housing shuttles are now equipped with GPS units (global positioning system), allowing students to track the approach-ing vehicles through a computer, cell phone or LED signs located in the residence halls and at the Golda Meir Library bus stop. Wait times should be down, says Housing Director Scott Peak, something that will make the transportation not only more convenient, but safer for students, especially after dark.

• Flashing lights have been added to the B.O.S.S. vans to make them more visible to students. That high visibility will also serve as a deterrent to crime.

“We value a caring and supportive environment in the residence halls which emphasizes a communi-ty approach to personal safety and student success,” says Peak.

The “UWM, a Caring Community” efforts build on new initiatives begun over the last few years with the S.A.F.E. program, a collaborative effort involving the UWM Police Department and numerous other campus organizations.

In addition to the S.A.F.E. Walkers, the campus renamed and added to existing emergency phones (now S.A.F.E. Phones; blue lights on yellow poles) located around campus. As part of the S.A.F.E. program, the university also established a text alert system, offering students, staff, families and neigh-bors the opportunity to sign up for cell phone notifi-cation in case of emergency.

In recent years, the university has also focused on improving its emergency and crisis management plans, and building partnerships with the surround-ing community.

“We have a strong relationship with the Milwaukee Police Department and collaborate with them in keeping the campus community and the areas surrounding it safe and comfortable for everyone,” says Marzion.

Behavior review teaM/availaBle reSourCeS

Much of this work is supported by the Behavior Review Team (BRT), which was established two years ago. The BRT, chaired by Hill and Marzion, works to confidentially identify, assist and refer students, faculty and staff whose behavior becomes a concern.

The BRT includes Adesso; representatives from Legal Affairs, Human Resources, the Provost’s Office, the First Year Center, Norris Health Center and the Student Accessibility Center; and a mental health professional. The BRT meets regularly to confidentially review cases of individuals whose behavior is of concern to another member of the community and identify if there is a significant safety risk to the university community.

As part of its efforts, the Behavior Review Team is working to educate faculty, staff and students about what types of behaviors are distressed and disruptive, and provide guidance in how to deal with such behaviors and when to seek help or suggest a referral.

While safety is one aspect of a community, efforts are also focused on the broader implications of what constitutes a caring community, according to Julie Bonner, M.D., campus health officer and director of the Norris Health Center.

A major part of “UWM, a Caring Community” is a strong focus on helping prevent and deal with emotional and mental health issues – ranging from stress and depression to drug/alcohol abuse and mental health crises, according to Bonner.

In recent years, the Norris Health Center and campus partners have begun or strengthened a number of programs to help students deal with such issues and to educate the campus community and families about how to help those facing challenges.

alCohol aNd other druG uSeFor example, last year the university started the

“Make Good Decisions” campaign to encourage students to look out for each other as they face issues like drinking, drug abuse, rowdy parties and other behaviors of concern.

In addition, a new education program on Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse (AODA) called Alcohol-Wise was made part of student orientation to campus. A majority of last year’s class reported they felt the program would help them avoid future problems.

The Norris Health Center continues to build its counseling and education programs to help students deal with stress and other issues, and to be a resource for faculty and staff when they see students in distress. A number of tools for self-evaluation, screening and help are available to all community members on the center’s website at www4.uwm.edu/norris/.

If you would like a presentation for your depart-ment on how to respond to emotionally distressed students, contact Sarah Belstock at the Norris Health Center, 414-229-4675. Two downloadable brochures – “How do Deal with an Emotionally Distressed Student” and “Helping Students Thrive” – are avail-able at www4.uwm.edu/norris/mental_health/index.cfm#brochures.

“We are doing a great deal to support the creation of a caring community climate,” says Hill. “We will be working with students, faculty and staff to help everyone adopt the attitude that we all need to look out for and support each other.”

Next month: More about UWM’s efforts to build a caring community through mental health programs, including how to help those exhibiting signs of severe stress.

UWM, a Caring Community

The Behavior Review Team is working to educate faculty, staff and students about distressed and disruptive behaviors.


(5) Public, Community and Clinical Health FacilityUWM announced in August 2010 it is working with managers of The Brewery on a plan to restore the former manufacturing building at the historic Pabst Brewery site in downtown Milwaukee and convert it into the new home for the School of Public Health. The project will create a 50,000-square-foot facility shared by UWM and other community partners, including the City of Milwaukee’s Health Department. In addition, the site allows for growth and expansion over time. Under the plan, part of the cost of the new facility will be funded by a $10 mil-lion gift the university received from the late Milwaukee philanthropist Joseph J. Zilber.

(6) Innovation ParkThe UWM Real Estate Foundation is seeking to acquire and redevelop a parcel of land on the Milwaukee County Grounds in Wauwatosa to be a graduate-level engineering campus. The site is north of Watertown Plank Road and east of Highway 45. UWM wants to develop in this area because of its close proximity to the Milwaukee Regional Medical Center – the hub of clinical research in Southeastern Wisconsin, with outstanding institutions such as the Medical College of Wisconsin (the largest academic research entity in Southeastern Wisconsin and second-largest in the state), Children’s Research Institute and the Blood Research Institute. Also nearby is the Milwaukee County Research Park.

(7) Kenilworth SquareThe Kenilworth Building has come a long way since its 1914 origins as a Ford Motor Co. assembly facility. Although the State of Wisconsin acquired it for UWM from the U.S. government in 1970, it wasn’t until the new century that renovations occurred which transformed it into its current form. The original 1914 east side of the building is now home to Peck School of the Arts studios, offices and performance and gal-lery spaces. The 1945 western addition is home to university housing for graduate students, visiting faculty, older undergraduates and university guests. Retail and restaurant space on the building’s first floor complete this multifaceted facility.

enilworth Square, RiverView and Cambridge Commons residence halls represented UWM’s first steps off the Kenwood campus in the 21st century. In the coming years UWM will extend its reach into the community, thanks to the UW–Milwaukee Initiative and the campus Master Plan. Campus expansion will greatly enhance student, faculty and staff access to state-of-the-art research facilities, resources and partners. Here is an overview.

10

(1) School of Freshwater Sciences Research BuildingTo house the first School of Freshwater Sciences in the United States, UWM will construct a four-story, 100,000-square-foot addition to the south side of the existing Great Lakes WATER Institute building at the eastern terminus of Greenfield Avenue in Milwaukee. The one-story southeast section of the existing institute complex that houses office and meeting space will be demolished to accommodate the new structure. A majority of the investment will be made in new construction that provides the greatest amount of state-of-the-art lab space and offices while retain-ing research activities best suited for the existing building.

(2) Reed Street YardsThe UWM Real Estate Foundation and the Milwaukee Water Council intend to seek funding to develop a site at the Reed Street Yards in Milwaukee’s Menomonee River Valley for a public-private facility. It will house academic applied research labs, conference space, business interests (including a business accelerator) and the Water Council offices. The City of Milwaukee has designated the Reed Street Yards as a tax incremental financing district to help fund redevelopment and encourage private development in freshwater-related research and industry. The joint university-business building could break ground as early as mid-2011. Fundraising for that construction, coordinated through the Real Estate Foundation, is already under way.

(3) Cambridge Commons Residence HallOpened for the fall 2010 semester, Cambridge Commons is the second residence hall constructed through the UWM Real Estate Foundation. It is located on the corner of Cambridge Avenue and North Avenue, and on the east bank of the Milwaukee River. This 700-bed facility includes approximately 200 sophomore beds and street-level retail space acces-sible to those in the building and also to those who live and work in the neighborhood. It was built to U.S. Green Building Council standards and includes two green roofs. The first tenants of Cambridge Commons were the UWM Foundation and its two affiliate organizations, the Real Estate Foundation and Research Foundation.

(4) RiverView Residence HallConstructed with private funds gathered through the UWM Real Estate Foundation, RiverView opened in January 2008. It is designed for about 475 first-year students and was built on the west bank of the Milwaukee River at the intersection of North Avenue and Commerce Street. In addition to being served by a 24-hour transportation system linking it to the nearby UWM campus, the building has a cafeteria, cof-fee shop, convenience store, fitness rooms, classrooms and laundry. Large and small markets and shops are within easy walking distance. Each suite features air conditioning, high-speed Internet, cable television, large walk-through closets and a vanity separate from the bathroom.


(8) Kenwood Interdisciplinary Research CenterThe center will be developed in three phases along the north side of Kenwood Boulevard between Maryland Avenue and Cramer Street. The first phase, at the northwest corner of Kenwood and Maryland, will have a north and south building. The north building will be constructed first with $75 million of UW–Milwaukee Initiative funds and will be the largest-ever investment in a single building in UWM history. It will have about 93,000 square feet of usable space for research core facili-ties and labs, instructional space, public collaborative space and office and office support space, and the UWM Physics Department will be a primary occupant.

(9) Columbia St. Mary’s Hospital CampusUWM is moving forward on a plan to purchase the Columbia St. Mary’s Hospital Campus. Directly adjacent to UWM’s 92-acre East Side Milwaukee campus, the property is nearly 11 acres with seven buildings that have 828,000 gross square feet of space. Among the buildings is a five-story parking structure with 788 parking spaces. The recently completed UWM Campus Master Plan outlines a variety of potential uses for the Columbia St. Mary’s property, including student services and academic/instructional space. The opportunity for UWM to acquire the property results primarily from the October 2010 opening of the expanded Columbia St. Mary’s Hospital Milwaukee about one mile south of the UWM campus. The hospital campus adjacent to UWM is expected to be vacant by the end of 2010.

(10) New Research VesselTo allow more expansive Great Lakes research than ever before, UWM is seeking to raise $20 million in private support to build a new float-ing laboratory for freshwater research. The replacement for the R.V. Neeskay, built to be a tug-transport for the U.S. Army during the Korean War, will have state-of-the-art navigation, propulsion, communi-cations and handling. It will allow for year-round operation for science teams of up to 14 members (in addition to the ship’s crew) and have an operational range that includes all five Great Lakes. The new vessel will help develop the next generation of freshwater scientists.

New doctoral programs for uwMBy Kathy Quirk

he University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents formally approved two new doctoral

programs at its June meeting, bringing the total number of doctoral programs at UWM to 31. The board approved doctorates in Sociology and Freshwater Sciences and Technology, as well as an M.S. in Freshwater Sciences and Technology.

“When I arrived six years ago, I indicated that as a doctoral research university we needed to increase the number of Ph.D. programs on our campus,” said Chancellor Carlos E. Santiago. “These newly approved doctoral degree-granting programs get us closer to our goal of becoming a premier urban research university that this region so desperately needs.”

The new programs address unique needs and strengths of UWM and the Southeastern Wisconsin area, including Milwaukee’s large and diverse population and its location at a freshwater indus-try center on Lake Michigan. All three programs will include evening sessions to meet the needs of nontraditional and working students.

“These new degrees will spur scholarly activ-ity and increase the university’s reputation as a premier research university,” said Interim Provost Johannes Britz.

freShwater SCieNCeSThe programs in freshwater sciences will build

on the long-standing strength of UWM research programs in freshwater science and technology, says Mark Harris, acting dean of UWM’s new School of Freshwater Sciences, which was approved by the legislature in 2009. The school will take a collabora-tive, interdisciplinary approach, setting it apart from most other doctoral programs in water sciences.

“The primary objective of the program is to produce graduates who are experts in freshwater sciences and technology, with the skills to collabo-rate with other disciplines, policymakers and the general public,” according to the summary present-ed to the Board of Regents.

The focus of both the doctoral and master’s programs will be to explore and discover promising concepts and methods for sustainable and equitable use of freshwater resources worldwide.

The doctoral program is focused on developing the next generation of water scientists, says Harris. The master’s program in freshwater sciences will include both a thesis track and a professional track, allowing graduates to continue into additional grad-

uate studies or join the work force. Students will be admitted for both programs in fall 2010.

For more information on both freshwater sciences programs, go to uwm.edu/freshwater/for_students/.

SoCioloGyThe doctorate in Sociology, housed in the College

of Letters and Science, will build on the Department of Sociology’s strong existing master’s program, established in 1964. Sociology’s new doctoral program intends to enroll students for fall 2011.

“Graduates of UWM’s Sociology master’s program consistently are accepted into premier doctoral programs around the country,” says Rodney Swain, associate dean of the College of Letters and Science. “Due to their advanced quan-titative skills, these students are also highly sought after by major corporations.”

In surveys in 2007 and 2009, students indicated a preference for continuing their doctoral studies in the Milwaukee area. Among the master’s students who planned to continue for a doctorate, all but one indicated they would be interested in continu-ing at UWM if a doctoral program were available.

“The new program will be critical to further grow the research programs of faculty in Sociology, and it will serve the unique needs of the region in training students in the core areas of social inequalities and social institutions,” according to the summary presented to the regents.

There is a growing need for doctorally prepared sociologists in both the academic world and other sectors, according to the summary. Nationally, 32 percent of sociology faculty members are projected to retire by 2012, while undergraduate interest in the field has been growing.

Local employers, in both for-profit and nonprofit organizations, have a strong relationship with the department, hiring graduates of the master’s program as researchers and analysts, and have indi-cated interest in students with doctorates who can provide sophisticated analysis of social data.

Milwaukee and UWM’s diverse populations also offer expanded research areas for students and faculty. In addition, the program’s close ties with the McNair Scholars program, which targets underrepresented groups, offers an opportunity to further increase the diversity of the department and the field.

epa head visits freshwater schoolBy Laura L. Hunt

he head of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Lisa P. Jackson, visited UWM’s

School of Freshwater Sciences during a visit to Milwaukee Aug. 5 to meet with local leaders and scientists involved in water innovation and conserva-tion efforts.

Jackson also joined UWM Chancellor Carlos E. Santiago, Gov. Jim Doyle, U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore and Mayor Tom Barrett and at a press conference at Discovery World to sign a “memorandum of under-standing” between the EPA and UWM, outlining collaborative efforts on innovative water technology development.

The EPA already funds a variety of ecological research at UWM, but this document will focus on collaborative work in freshwater engineering for a three- to five-year period.

The document stipulates that the two organiza-tions will communicate on potential areas of investi-gation, including development of innovative water-treatment technologies, new contaminant-sensing technologies, technologies for detection of ecosystem impacts and health, and development of novel mate-rials for water filtration and purification.

The document also states that “EPA and UWM intend to work cooperatively in the areas of bringing innovative sustainable technologies to market. This joint effort between the EPA and UWM has poten-tial to spawn significant technology development and employment opportunities.”

Jackson’s visit included a tour of UWM’s Great Lakes WATER Institute, the research arm of the university’s new School of Freshwater Sciences,

where she met with scientists Rick Goetz, Rebecca Klaper and Ava Udvadia.

She then attended a roundtable discussion of the state of water technologies with Milwaukee business and community leaders.

The EPA is interested in engaging its partners to help find new strategies for improving water quality, Jackson told a news conference at Discovery World. Especially important, she said, is the development of

“green infrastructure,” new methods that will miti-gate urban stormwater pollution in waterways and provide a cost-effective solution to water pollution from overflows of combined storm and sanitary sewers.

The event ended with the sounding of the horn from UWM’s research vessel Neeskay as it navi-gated the harbor just outside Discovery World.

ne of the top priorities for the 2010-11 academ-ic year will be implementing the recommen-

dations of the Task Force on Internationalization’s report, “Advancing Internationalization at UWM: Fostering Success, Facilitating Growth and Expanding Horizons in the 21st Century University.” (The report is available online at www4.uwm.edu/cie/documents/Intl_Task_Force_Report_FINAL.pdf.)

GloBal StudieS proGraMSUWM is already doing good work with several

international initiatives in the schools and colleges and in the Center for International Education (CIE).

One example is the interdisciplinary Global Studies degree, which was initiated in 2003 with a first track in Global Management and tracks in Global Security, Communications, Cities and Classrooms added subsequently. As of 2010, there are now 287 intended and declared majors and 67 graduates.

Administered by CIE on behalf of the College of Letters and Science, the Lubar School of Business, the School of Architecture and Urban Planning, the School of Education and the School of Information Studies, this joint degree program is unique in the nation for its integration of globalization studies with professional studies coursework, overseas study and internships, and advanced language studies.

The degree incorporates an ambitious eight-semester language requirement, and its students recognize the critical importance of language profi-ciency to intercultural competence. Twenty percent of current Global Studies majors study two or more languages, and 36 percent of majors are studying languages identified as priorities by the federal government, including Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian and Thai.

This requirement has likely contributed to the rapid increases in Chinese and Arabic enrollments since Global Studies was initiated – e.g. Chinese enrollments tripled between 2000 and 2010. At the same time, feedback from majors indicates that the study-abroad requirement – which early critics believed would dissuade students – has contributed to the rapid growth of enrollment in the degree.

A new Global Studies minor was initiated in 2009 to provide a further international curricular oppor-tunity for all UWM undergraduates; 25 students from a wide variety of majors are currently enrolled, applying a combination of interdisciplinary and departmental courses, overseas and language stud-ies toward their minors. Global Studies offers our students an outstanding opportunity to develop deep knowledge of the world and their place in it.

additioNal effortSThe Geography Department offers another

example of vibrant internationalization. The depart-ment has a long history of international research and instruction dating back to the 1960s.

Professor Emeritus Donn Haglund regularly took student groups to international locations in the Arctic and Professors Emeriti Clint Edwards and Norm Stewart involved students in their research in southern Mexico in the 1980s.

Professor Mick Day has since 1981 run a tropical fieldwork course integrating research and teaching in Belize, Jamaica, Trinidad and Puerto Rico, and Professor Chris DeSousa regularly teaches a study-abroad course in Vancouver, Canada.

Much faculty and graduate student research has an inter-national focus, for example in China, India, Russia, Colombia, the Philippines, Kenya and Mexico, and many undergraduate courses have international dimensions.

Over the past decade the university has also

seen increases in the number and geographic diversity of international students studying at UWM; in the number of UWM students studying abroad, includ-ing increases in scholarships to expand access to such transformative experiences (there was a 17 percent increase in students studying abroad this academic year, including 355 UWM students abroad this summer); and in the number and complexity of inter-nationally based research grants and scholarship.

However, these international activities are some-what disparate, localized in institutional “pockets” rather than permeating the university as a whole. As noted in the task force report, further progress on internationalizing UWM will necessitate a change in organization mindset and a movement toward a more comprehensive and strategic vision:

“[W]hile CIE plays an important facilitating role, the critical tasks of strengthening the international dimensions of teaching and research across the curriculum – through course development and delivery, curricular design, collab-orative research, and student and faculty recruitment – take place within the schools, colleges and departments and, most importantly, among individual faculty, staff and adminis-trators. It is therefore essential, if UWM is to achieve its goals, that our institutional leadership and key stakeholders share responsibility for internationalizing our mission, our learning, discovery and engagement. Only by fully integrat-ing international perspectives, knowledge and activities across the curriculum, into the life of the university, can UWM advance its agenda.”

To that end, I asked Vice Provost for International Education and CIE Director Patrice Petro to convene a small working group this past summer to focus on implementation of the Internationalization Task Force Report.

froM report to aCtioNThe group developed a road map of actions for

2010-11 that will align Academic Affairs initiatives with internationalization goals in the areas of stra-tegic enrollment management; General Education through participation in the AAC&U General Education for a Global Century project; Inclusive Excellence; online and new technologies for reaching international audiences; and Digital Measures (inte-grating international teaching/research/service fields into the Digital Measures campus standard for more complete data collection on faculty activities).

The working group is also exploring the communication-related report recommendations, and internationalization will be an agenda item for a fall University Marketing Committee meeting.

To meet the crucial goal of broadening the scope of international activities, the Academic Deans Council will hold a special-focus meeting on inter-nationalizing UWM on Nov. 9. At that meeting, the

working group will engage the deans in discussion of strategies related to fundraising and development for international activities, the creation of incentives for such activities and the identification of an interna-tional point person in each school and college.

The working group is also addressing the report recommendations related to mission/vision state-ments, and planning is under way to bring revised mission language adding an international emphasis to campus governance groups this fall.

As Chancellor Santiago has noted in his plena-ries, UWM is crucial to Southeastern Wisconsin’s future success in the global knowledge economy. For UWM, that means attracting more international students, sending more students abroad, fostering global competencies in all of our graduates, and developing more and deeper international interin-stitutional and other research partnerships – and it means doing so in an integrated fashion that involves every academic unit.

$20 million Nih grant supports city research partnership

he National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced in July a $20 million grant to

The Medical College of Wisconsin, representing a consortium of eight Milwaukee institutions, includ-ing UWM. The consortium forms a Milwaukee-wide research partnership, sharing a common vision, resources and staff to advance biomedical research, patient care and education.

The five-year funding, awarded through the NIH’s Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) program, creates a borderless and synergis-tic biomedical research enterprise in Southeastern Wisconsin, called the Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI), that will accelerate the translation of research discoveries into new and improved medical treatments.

The other six CTSI member organizations are Marquette University, the Milwaukee School of Engineering, BloodCenter of Wisconsin, Children’s Hospital and Health System, Froedtert Hospital and the Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center.

“The Clinical and Translational Science Institute is an excellent example of how the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee is advancing collaborative research with the Medical College of Wisconsin and other significant regional institutions,” said Chancellor Carlos E. Santiago. “It further substan-tiates UWM’s need to be in closer proximity to the Medical College, which we will do through our development of Innovation Park in Wauwatosa.”

The CTSA grant also allows for expansion of academic programs related to clinical and translational science, and development of training programs to improve elementary and high school science instruction.

Programs are also being developed to encourage junior faculty members to pursue research careers. Mentored clinical and translational research awards have been given to four junior faculty members – three at the Medical College and one to Hao Zhang, UWM assistant professor of electrical engineering.

And 17 research studies, supported by the consor-tium through the Medical College’s “Advancing a Healthier Wisconsin” program, are under way – five involving UWM faculty:

am very proud of the achievements of the faculty, staff and students of the University of

Wisconsin–Milwaukee and to be part of an institution that is contributing so much to the people and commu-nities of Metropolitan Milwaukee.

Our reality and reputation continue to improve despite significant budgetary problems. There are so many examples of the reality of our growing strength. I will include a few examples of the achievements of UWM faculty, staff and students, attesting to the reality of the marked improvements:• Major increases in the number of gradu-

ate programs, including Africology (Ph.D.), Freshwater Sciences (M.S., Ph.D.) Linguistics (M.A., Ph.D.), Nursing Practice (D.N.P.), Public Health (Ph.D.), Sociology (Ph.D.) and Women’s Studies (M.A.)

• UWM being ranked as No. 141, awarding 115 doctorates in 2007 (source: The Top American Research Universities 2009 Annual Report). In 2009-10, there were 153 doctorates awarded, and thus our ranking is likely to improve.

• Record research expenditures for 2009-10 (FY10, provisional) – $67,997,194

• The outstanding number of books published by UWM faculty and staff celebrated by an event in April sponsored by the Graduate School and the UWM Libraries. UWM is a public university, a research university

and an urban university. The three missions of a research university, and UWM in particular, are the following: • Education at both the undergraduate and

graduate levels • Research/scholarship – the discovery of new

knowledge• Public service

eduCatioNEducation by a community of scholars is our

first mission. This has been and continues to be so important to high school graduates, veterans and nontraditional students. We are meeting the needs of the region and the aspirations of students, faculty and community leaders.

To quote Diogenes Laertius, a Greek philosopher of the third century CE, “The foundation of every state is the education of its youth.” I am pleased to see the number of graduate students at UWM continue to grow. We are developing further our programs for the professional development of our students. We are making a difference in so many people’s lives.

With the ongoing concerns about state’s financial situation, I am reminded of the statements:

“If you think education is expensive, try igno-rance.”—Derek Bok, president of Harvard University, 1971-90)

“Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe.”—H.G. Wells (1866-1946)

reSearCh/SCholarShipResearch/scholarship are critically important for

multiple, overlapping reasons, including the following: teaching by experts in the field; faculty who are current; the inextricable link between research and graduate education; and the improved retention of undergradu-ates who participate in research and research/scholar-ship for its own sake.

Psychoanalyst Helene Deutsch (1884-1982) is quot-

ed as saying, “The ulti-mate goal of all research is not objectivity, but truth.” Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) is quoted as saying, “All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.”

Research is essential for society to have science/social science-based public policy, to

have new understanding of the universe in which we live and of the human condition, to further our artistic aspirations and to develop new technologies.

puBliC ServiCeWe have long had a very strong commitment

to Milwaukee. Public service is part of the ethos of American public universities and of UWM’s faculty, staff and students. This moves to the next level in an urban university.

Our service role includes partnerships with regional, community, environmental and educational organiza-tions such as Milwaukee Public Schools and Milwaukee Area Technical College.

Our classes (undergraduate, graduate and continu-ing education) are traditionally held at times when students can most easily attend. Campus classrooms and parking lots are filled morning and evening. Electronic delivery of classes continues to grow. I recently heard of the involvement of minority high school students spending time on campus working with strong researchers in our Physics Department.

We are above all both a public research university and an urban university, and in my opinion doing a very good job of it. Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) is quoted as saying, “Honest differences are often a healthy sign of progress.” We are making progress.

RESEARCH NOTES By Colin G. Scanes, Vice Chancellor for Research & Economic Development/Dean of the Graduate School

arredoNdo ChoSeN for leaderShip proGraM

Patricia Arredondo, UWM associate vice chancellor for academic affairs and interim dean of the School of Continuing Education, attended the American Association of State Colleges and Universities 2010 Millennium Leadership Institute (MLI) in June.

Arredondo, who was nominated for the MLI by Chancellor Carlos E. Santiago, also holds an appointment as professor in the Department of Educational Psychology.

The MLI is an inten-sive, highly customized, professional development experience that assists senior administrators in assessing career strategies, enhancing professional skills, building support systems and advancing their careers.

“The MLI conference provided a valuable learning forum about multiple processes to consider if one wants to progress to the role of provost and chancellor/president,” said Arredondo. “Our instructors were sitting presidents, some second-time presidents, and other senior administrators who could speak from experience. Learning from their lived experiences versus a textbook pro-vided far greater reality.”

She added that the small group size of 30 “allowed for considerable interaction with the ‘experts’ and our peers.”


New director for the Center for Jewish Studies

By Kathy Quirk

WM’s Center for Jewish Studies (CJS) has appointed a new director. Joel Berkowitz,

professor at the State University of New York (SUNY) in Albany, was selected after an interna-tional search. Berkowitz joins the faculty of the university’s Department of Foreign Languages and Literature, as well as directing the center.

Berkowitz served several years as chair of the Department of Judaic Studies and direc-tor of the Center for Jewish Studies at SUNY Albany. He is a scholar of the history of Yiddish theatre and modern Jewish cultural studies.

Before his tenure at SUNY Albany, Berkowitz served as lecturer and senior research fellow at the University of Oxford in England. He was also a Fulbright Post-doctoral Research Fellow at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

Berkowitz will preside over the opening of the recently endowed Sam and Helen Stahl Center for Jewish Studies, scheduled for the spring semes-ter 2011. A $2 million donation from the Baye Foundation, announced in April 2009, allowed the university to remodel the historic Greene Memorial Museum to serve as headquarters for the center.

The center, founded in 1997 and currently housed in a two-room office suite, supports a multi-

disciplinary undergraduate major and minor in Jewish Studies; students receive instruction in Jewish history, art, religion, literature and Hebrew.

“This is an opportune time to be taking the reins of the Center for Jewish Studies at UWM,” says Berkowitz. “The center has momentum, talented and energetic faculty, and vigorous support from both the administration and the surrounding community. All of these are tremendous assets with which to continue to build a stimulating Jewish Studies curric-ulum, exciting public programs, and resources that enhance the work of faculty members and enrich the student experience.”

A significant feature of Berkowitz’s scholarship on Yiddish theater and drama is his work as a trans-lator of Yiddish plays. His collection, “Landmark Yiddish Plays” (2006), which he co-translated, features new English translations of five 19th- and 20th-century comedies and tragedies. He is currently working on other translations, which he is eager to stage at UWM and in the community.

“One of the pleasures of my research is coming across little-known gems in the Yiddish dramatic repertoire. The lively theatre scene in Milwaukee, both on and off campus, offers a variety of opportu-nities to share these works with new audiences.”

According to current CJS Director, Professor Stacey Oliker, who chaired the recruitment committee, “Professor Berkowitz was the perfect choice for lead-ership in building Jewish Studies at UWM. His new courses will enrich our expanding Jewish Studies curriculum. And his specialty in Yiddish theater prom-ises to integrate university and community audiences.”

Neighborhood relations head draws from background in student affairs, mediation

By Angela McManaman

With an extensive background in student affairs and an M.S. degree in Counseling and Student Personnel, Heather Harbach joined University Relations in the role of neighborhood relations coordinator in late July. In her new role, Harbach’s initial focus is on building strong relationships with both long-term and student residents living near the university.

“As the sole contact person for neighborhood issues, providing timely feedback when there are questions and concerns from students and long-term residents and being an active presence in the neighbor-hood are key in these next few weeks,” Harbach says.

After serving as the director of residence life and student engagement, as well as chief conduct officer at Milwaukee’s Mount Mary College, Harbach says she’s most excited to delve more deeply into the off-campus living experience – leveraging the network of safety, counseling, housing and support resources that are available to students living off campus.

“An approach to educating the whole student is integral,” Harbach says. “Learning at age 19, 20, 21 doesn’t just happen inside a classroom – it’s happen-ing the entire time. So I’m taking a holistic approach to neighborhood relations and student development.

“As students prepare to leave the university,” she adds, “our goal is to create active, responsible citi-zens in every context.”

Through student affairs positions at Mount Mary

and Marquette University, Harbach has established a resume that includes conduct-code revision and adjudica-tion, student leadership development, campus programming and full supervi-sion of residence life operations on a smaller scale.

“I think these experiences are going to mesh very well in the neighborhood relations role,” she says. “Relationship-building with key stakeholders and helping different groups to navigate a sometimes confusing set of issues and a wide network of resources are things

I’ve done before.”Harbach believes this network of resources will

continue to be a substantial asset to UWM’s neigh-bors on both ends of the residential spectrum, from long-term and new homeowners to student renters in flats, single-family units and apartment complexes of varying sizes. That’s one of the most exciting and encouraging aspects of her new role, Harbach says, and a key to meeting the diverse needs of student residents and permanent residents.

“I’m one to look at what’s working and keep it working, while taking time to soak in informa-tion and learn what needs to change. Among the University Police Department, the BOSS system, neighborhood and University Housing offices and our Student Affairs Department, there’s so much to leverage at UWM.”

StudeNt aCCeSSiBility CeNter tipS

Help! A student just gave me a VISA!

The Student Accessibility Center (SAC) uses a form called a VISA (Verified Individualized Services and Accommodations) to verify disability and to assist students in their communications with faculty and staff regarding accommodations.

If a student gives you a VISA, simply follow these tips and you should have smooth sailing all semester.• Read the VISA thoroughly.• Understand these accommodations are

also in effect for online classes.• Meet with the student, preferably in a

one-on-one setting.• Agree to terms related to testing (in

class, in your office, SAC-proctored), note-taking and anything else that appears to be in question.

• Complete Alternative Testing Forms with the student in a timely fashion. (SAC is currently crafting an online testing request form.)

• Maintain the student’s confidentiality when requesting a note-taker for the student (and at all other times).

• Contact the SAC counselor listed on the VISA if you have any questions or concerns.

• Choose your required reading materials well before the start of the semester (for future semesters) so those who require alternatives to print may have access at the same time as the rest of the students in the class.

• Direct your speech to the student, not to the student’s aide or the student’s interpreter.

• Use Universal Design techniques in your teaching (e.g. use more than one method of information delivery – lecture and use graphics or videos, include “clicker” devices).

• Recognize that the student MUST be held to the same academic standards as the rest of the class.


‘energy Matters’ drives down energy consumption, costs and carbon emissions

By Angela McManaman

educing energy use across the UW System is among the key goals of Governor’s Executive

Order 145, issued in 2005. UW–Milwaukee is responding to the charge with the near completion of its $10 million Energy Matters: Phase One initiative.

Since that initiative kicked off last year, funded by a revolving loan from the state, five campus high-rise buildings have undergone energy-efficiency upgrades and renovations. Upgrades include occupancy and variable-air-volume sensors that keep the air condi-tioner and lights on “low” in empty lecture halls, but crank up both as people enter a room.

When faculty flip on the lights in the Engineering & Mathematical Sciences Building and Cunningham, Bolton, Enderis and Curtin halls, new lamps and light bulbs shine closer to natural light for an illumination that is easier on the eyes and the electric bill.

Meanwhile, heating coils in the mechanical rooms’ air handlers are treated with ultraviolet light to kill heat-seeking bacteria that accumulate on the coils and diminish their efficacy.

For a closer look at Energy Matters at work, an online energy dashboard debuts this month at www.sustainability.uwm.edu. The dashboard is an interac-tive, 24-7 meter that measures kilowatt-hours per building, as well as the amounts of chilled water and condensate used by each building. Water measure-ment will likely come later.

“We can’t manage what we can’t measure,” says UWM Environmental Sustainability Coordinator Kate Nelson. “Monitoring building-by-building energy usage once conservation measures have been implemented is essential.”

The dashboard’s measurement tools are highly sensitive, making hourly adjustments as computers are powered down, coffeemakers start brewing and steam heat powers up.

viSioNS of a lower-CarB futureWhen phases Two and Three of Energy Matters

are completed by 2012, the university’s carbon emissions are expected to drop by the equivalent of 62,400 metric tons. Cost projections indicate a potential annual savings of $2.5 million.

Honeywell’s Steve Fuglestad consults with fellow Energy Matters con-tractors – a team from Johnson Controls – as he tests Enderis Hall’s new variable air volume (VAV) system. VAV systems help regulate air volume and temperature based on room occupancy for increased comfort and decreased energy costs.

If the UWM upgrades operate as planned, the state will receive a return on its landmark investment in energy conservation over 16 years – a pledge underwritten by Honeywell, the state’s primary vendor and consultant on the Energy Matters project.

The energy dashboards, also managed by Honeywell, include an option to use cheeseburgers as a unit of measurement of kilowatt-hours used. A precise conversion was not available at press time, but one cheeseburger is the approximate equivalent of more than four kilowatt-hours of electricity.

Even if people don’t care to make the kilowatt-hours-to-cheeseburgers comparison, Nelson hopes there will be plenty more for dash-board users to discuss.

“A significant reduction in campus energy consumption takes more than new technology and mechanical upgrades,” Nelson says. “We want people to look at their dashboards and observe how their building consumes energy – then ID what they can reasonably do to use less.”

As a landlocked urban campus with rising enrollment, UWM was the only UW institution to increase its energy consumption since the 2005 executive order suggested baseline energy-efficiency standards for system campuses through 2010.

In 2009, UWM was 5.3 percent over its suggested benchmark, while UW–Green Bay was 30 percent under its benchmark and UW–Parkside was 7 percent under. Other schools fell in between these two numbers.

“We need to gain ground quickly,” Nelson explains, “so we’re following a more holistic approach to campus energy savings, per the state’s suggestion.

“I compare the 25 percent figure to covering the Kenwood campus in a pine forest 185 times,” she explains. “Saving 62,000 tons of emissions is equiva-lent to pulling 5,600 Milwaukee homes off the elec-trical grid or 12,000 passenger vehicles off the road.”

For more on Energy Matters, visit www4.uwm.edu/pps/Sustainability/ or review Executive Order 145 at www.wisgov.state.wi.us/.

R a preview of energy Matters: phase two

A staff of more than 50 electrical, mechani-cal, lighting and assorted other contractors, employed by five different companies, imple-mented Phase One upgrades between spring and fall of 2010.

Upgrades and renovations for Phase Two buildings begin later this year in the UWM Libraries, Fine Arts Complex, Chemistry Building, and Sabin and Lapham halls.

As can be expected on a project the size and scope of Energy Matters, things can get a little messy.

“We’re doing as much as possible to keep faculty and staff in the loop on this project as it progresses,” says Don Huntington, engineering specialist in Physical Plant Services.

Staff from the Division of Finance & Administrative Affairs communicate and coor-dinate with building chairs and departmental staff as renovations begin. Signage is distributed at the appropriate building entrances before construction begins to explain who has been in faculty/staff work areas, plus a Pantherlink subscription calendar (located in the “Campus Services” folder) and email messages keep occupants up to date on the project’s progress in their respective buildings.

For questions or concerns about Energy Matters progress and construction, contact Don Huntington, engineering specialist in Physical Plant Services: [email protected].

School of freshwater Sciences wins fellowship funding

By Laura L. Hunt

he National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has awarded funding

to the School of Freshwater Sciences at UWM for graduate student fellowships focused on researching the relationship among oceans, the Great Lakes and human health.

In July, NOAA’s Oceans and Human Health Initiative (OHHI) announced an award of $525,000 for a Graduate Traineeship Program to support six doctoral students – five at UWM and one at UW–Madison. OHHI is dedicated to improving under-standing and management of the oceans, coasts and Great Lakes to enhance human health and reduce public health risks.

The OHHI program funds three NOAA Centers of Excellence in Michigan, South Carolina and the State of Washington, in addition to the OHHI Traineeship Programs with university partners.

Five other OHHI Traineeship Programs operate across the nation. UWM’s is the sixth, and the only one focused on the Great Lakes.

“This initiative and the student talent it brings to UWM will help us jump-start recruitment of graduate students from both inside and outside of Wisconsin to the School of Freshwater Sciences,” says Mark Harris, acting dean. “It will produce the next generation of scientists who can advance the science of oceans and human health, leading to a more informed and effective policy and improved protection of public health.”

The OHHI investigates topics such as marine toxins, chemical pollutants, seafood quality, beach safety and health, and pharmaceuticals and bio-agents from aquatic sources.

“Few academic programs have focused primarily on the Great Lakes,” says Rick Goetz, Shaw Senior Scientist at the Great Lakes WATER Institute. “But at UWM, the research is specific to freshwater, including storm-water runoff and fecal pollution, invasive species, water diversion and sustainable water management.”

“Beach closings, harmful algal blooms and drink-ing water supply concerns are linked to the integrity of the ecosystem and impact human health,” says Sandra McLellan, associate scientist at the WATER Institute. “No single scientific discipline can address these complex concerns. This traineeship contributes to the interdisciplinary and collective efforts needed to solve the major human health problems involving the Great Lakes.”

Creation of the OHHI Traineeship Program at UWM came as the School of Freshwater Sciences was accepting applications for its inaugural class. Enrollment formally began this fall.

pulitzer prize wiNNer dove viSitS uwM Sept. 16

Former United States Poet Laureate and Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Rita Dove will read from her recent poetry collec-tion, Sonata Mulattica, and share insights

about her life and work at a free, public event on Thursday, Sept. 16.

Dove, currently the Commonwealth Professor of English at the University of Virginia, will speak in the UWM Union Ballroom at 3:30 p.m.

Dove was Poet Laureate of the United States and Consultant to the Library of Congress from 1993 to 1995.

In addition to receiving the Pulitzer Prize in 1987, Dove has been awarded the Fulbright Lifetime Achievement Medal, the Emily Couric Leadership Award, the Duke Ellington Lifetime Achievement Award, the Sara Lee Frontrunner Award, the Barnes & Noble Writers for Writers Award and the 1996 Heinz Award in the Arts and Humanities.

uwM, uw–Madison award intercampus research grantsEight hybrid teams of faculty from UWM and

UW–Madison have been awarded the first batch of Intercampus Research Incentive grants, awards designed to foster inter-institutional collaboration.

The awards, announced in June by UWM and UW–Madison, total $398,000 and will support a suite of projects ranging from the development of new materials to combat air pollution to the use of algae to clean wastewater and generate energy. Each award is in the range of $50,000 for one year.

The Intercampus Research Incentive Grants Program, announced in January by UWM Chancellor Carlos E. Santiago and UW–Madison Chancellor Biddy Martin, is an initiative to foster research projects and scholarship undertaken jointly by researchers at the two institutions.

The program is funded by UWM and UW–Madison donors. Projects were selected by a committee of faculty and administrators from both institutions.

“We received many excellent proposals, many more than we expected, and we’re excited by the quality and prospects for each of the projects that received funding,” says UW–Madison Provost Paul DeLuca. “Success here will not only yield valuable research results, but will also draw our institutions closer and provide a road map for future collabora-tions. That is a critical outcome.”

“I was very impressed by the quality of the proposals and the new collaborations being devel-oped between Madison and Milwaukee,” says Colin Scanes, UWM vice chancellor for research and economic development and dean of the Graduate

School. “This bodes so well for the future. It is unfortunate that only eight can be funded.”

Projects funded by the new initiative include:• The use of algae for wastewater remediation

and bioenergy production: Linda Graham, UW–Madison, and Erica Young, UWM

• Synthesis and characterization of gold nanoparticles for cell-based therapies: Marija Gajdardziska and Julie Oliver, UWM, and Ralph Albrecht and Paul Voyles, UW–Madison

• Enzymes as possible treatments for infections: Rob Striker, UW–Madison, and Andrew Ulijasz, UWM

• Nanoscale film sensors for use in advanced manufacturing: Xiaochun Li, UW–Madison, and Chris Yuan, UWM

• Laser-assisted cold gas spraying for energy manufacturing: Tien-Chien Jen, UWM, and Frank Pfefferkorn, UW–Madison.

• Photocatalytic and superhydrophopic materials to combat air pollution: Marc Anderson, UW–Madison, and Al Ghorbanpoor and Konstantin Sobolev, UWM

• Improving detection and infrastructure to better treat diabetic retinopathy: Amir Assadi, F.M. Assadi-Porter and Nader Sheibani, UW–Madison, and Hao Zhang, UWM

• Psychological and neurological effects during fear conditioning in psychopathic offend-ers: John Curtin, Michael Koenigs and Joseph Newman, UW–Madison, and Fred J. Helmstetter and Christine Larson, UWM


Nostra culpa

In the June 2010 issue of UWM Report, the article on the 2010 Scott Greer Awards contained several mistakes. Jeff Eagan (not Egan) received his master’s degree (not B.S.) from UWM in 1978 (not 2001). Don’t even ask how that happened.

John Hagedorn received the Scott Greer Award for Postgraduate Achievement in Advancing Understanding of Urban Social Institutions (not the Scott Greer Award for Postgraduate Achievement in the study of Urban Social Institutions).

We regret the errors.

n honor of the Fine Arts Quartet’s 65th anni-versary season, all Fine Arts Quartet UWM

concerts will be free and open to the public.All music lovers are encouraged to join the

Peck School for this celebration. Regular-season dates include Sept. 12, Nov. 14, Feb. 6 and March 6. (Check arts.uwm.edu for concert times and programs.) In addition, the Fine Arts Quartet will play four Summer Evenings of Music concerts.

All regular-season performances begin at 3 p.m. in the Helen Bader Concert Hall in the Helene Zelazo Center. Reserved seats are available, and walk-ups are welcome as well. Contact the Peck School of the Arts Box Office at 414-229-4308 for more information about free tickets.

“We have enjoyed being part of the City of Milwaukee and the UWM and Peck School communities for so many years,” says Wolfgang Laufer, cellist with the Quartet. “We are so pleased to provide an opportunity for the whole communi-ty to experience our music right here in Milwaukee at no charge.”

Also new this year and in honor of this special anniversary, Stephen Basson, former Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra principal bassoonist, will host preconcert talks beginning at 2 p.m. In addition, Saturday rehearsals will be open to the public on Sept. 11, Nov. 13, Feb. 5 and March 5.

“By opening the concert hall doors, the Quartet is providing a very special public service to our community, making it possible for more people to experience the music so many of us have enjoyed for many years,” says Peck School Dean Wade

Hobgood. “We welcome members of the UWM community to invite their friends and family to join them for the concerts, right here on campus.”

The Fine Arts Quartet is one of the most distin-guished ensembles in chamber music today, with an illustrious history of performing success and an extensive recording legacy. Founded in Chicago in 1946, and based at UWM since 1963, the Quartet is one of the elite few to have recorded more than 200 works and toured internationally for more than half a century.

Three of the Quartet’s current artists, cellist Laufer and violinists Ralph Evans and Efim Boico, have been performing together for more than 25 years. Violist Nicolò Eugelmi joined the Quartet in 2009.

The Quartet members have helped develop and nurture many of today’s top international young ensembles. They have been guest professors at the national music conservatories of Paris and Lyon, and they appear regularly as jury members of major competitions, such as Evian and Bordeaux.

In addition, documentaries about the Fine Arts Quartet have appeared on both French and American Public Television.

Each season, the Fine Arts Quartet tours world-wide, with concerts in such musical centers as New York, London, Paris, Berlin, Rome, Madrid, Moscow, Tokyo, Beijing, Istanbul, Jerusalem, Mexico City and Toronto. But every year they play at least eight concerts on the UWM campus.

For more information about the Quartet, visit fineartsquartet.org or arts.uwm.edu.

uwM’s smoke-free policy amendedBy Beth Stafford

isconsin’s statewide smoke-free air law (Wisconsin Act 12) took effect on July 5.

Although UWM buildings have been smoke-free since April 2006, and the current UWM smoking policy prohibits smoking within 30 feet of building entrances, operable windows and air intakes, the new law will impact the UWM community.

“The majority of our students live off campus, and students, faculty and staff need to be knowl-edgeable regarding the new statewide smoke-free air law,” says Barbara Moser, M.D., member of the Healthy Campus Work Group and director of health promotion and wellness at UWM’s Norris Health Center. (Detailed information on the new law is available at wibettersmokefree.com.) The UWM Healthy Campus Work Group has been involved with smoking policy change on campus for the past four years.

The biggest change will be in the area of enforcement. In August 2009, the University of Wisconsin System approved Chapter UWS-18, which outlines regulations concerning “Conduct on University Lands.” This chapter gives the UWM Police Department the authority to enforce official posted signage on campus, including signs related to UWM’s smoking policy.

Wisconsin Act 12 authorizes local authorities (including the UWM Police Department) to regulate smoking and to enforce this law. Wisconsin Act 12 also prohibits smoking within 25 feet of UW System residence halls, and on the premises of child care centers when children are present.

Mary Kay Madsen, chair of the Healthy Campus Work Group and the Physical Environment Committee, outlined the steps being taken toward enforcement.

“The UWM Physical Environment Committee approved a motion at its May 19 meeting to revise the current UWM Smoking Policy No. S-49 to bring it into compliance with both UWS-18 and Wisconsin Act 12. This revised policy will proceed through approval channels to make it official,” says Madsen.

New signage will note the policy changes on UWM buildings, with new “no smoking” markers placed at 25 feet from buildings.

Educational materials regarding UWM policy changes, Wisconsin Act 12 and resources for smok-ing cessation will be sent to students, faculty and staff at the time of policy approval and sign changes.

“After these changes occur, the UWM Police Department will begin to enforce Wisconsin Act 12 and continue enforcing Chapter UWS-18. This enforcement will focus on educating the campus community regarding the changes as they relate to smoking on campus, including warnings for viola-tions of the applicable laws,” says UWM Police Chief and Healthy Campus Work Group member Michael Marzion.

“Although citations may be issued to repeat viola-tors, we would prefer to see the campus community work together to keep the air on campus smoke free.”

Norris Health Center’s Office of Health Promotion and Wellness also will host informational sessions throughout the fall semester.

extreme Makeover: panther editionBy Ashley Rolfe

For several years, members of the UWM commu-nity have been asking for a more modern mascot and logo to represent the “Milwaukee Panthers” – as the university’s 15 Division 1 athletic teams are sometimes called. Finally enters Pounce, a new and improved panther mascot with striking good looks and intimidating muscles, sure to scare all the competitors away.

Two years ago, UWM Bookstore Director Erik Hemming came to the realization that Pounce, who had relieved previous mascot Victor E. Panther of his duties in 2007, needed a makeover.

“UWM didn’t have an iconic logo or letter to identify with. We needed to polish school spirit, with a fun and simple expression of UWM and Milwaukee,” says Hemming.

Pounce has been in transformation since then, undergoing several drafts, facing focus groups and testing. Chris Henwood, a designer with JanSport, has been with Pounce from day one of the redesign. Henwood has passionately designed several logos for sports teams nationwide and took his partnership with UWM very seriously, Hemming says.

After 20-30 iterations, Pounce had been revealed and well received by a select group of students, faculty and alumni. Finally, the university cabinet

selected a modernized Pounce mascot from a field of finalists, then gave the go-ahead to put this image on UWM-branded accessories, clothing and more.

Athletes, coaches and staff in the Athletics Department also are excited to see Pounce’s revival.

“Pounce has very quickly become a big part of the Panther family, and our fans have embraced him as a great representation of Panther spirit at all of our events. Now, with the development of new logos and marks incorporating Pounce, our fans will have the chance to proudly wear the character on shirts, hats and more,” says Associate Athletic Director Kevin O’Connor.

Hemming wants it to be known that the new Pounce isn’t “replacing” the old marks of UWM, just adding to the collection of identification.

Pounce’s big debut occurred in mid-August, as new students arrived on campus. Spirit wear featur-ing him can now be seen at the UWM Bookstore. There will be some featured specials on gear soon, allowing more UWM fans to show off the new logo.

As the bookstore always promotes, all spirit wear and UWM gear is made sweatshop-free. Clothing and accessories start at around $10 and go up from there.

uwM StudeNt JoiNS Board of reGeNtS

ontinuum” is an annual exhibition featuring work by retired faculty and alumni of the

Department of Art and Design (formerly Visual Art) in the Peck School of the Arts.

This year, Department Chair Lee Ann Garrison and Dean Wade Hobgood decided to showcase Professor Emeritus Adolph L. Rosenblatt and three former students of Rosenblatt’s choosing. Those students are Joseph Boblick (’94), Henry Klimowicz (’84) and Rosenblatt’s son, Eli Rosenblatt.

“Continuum 9: Adolph Rosenblatt” runs Sept. 10- Nov. 6 in the Inova/Arts Center gallery. The opening reception is Friday, Sept. 10, from 5-7 p.m. Gallery hours are Tuesday-Saturday, 11 a.m.-4 p.m.

“The fall ‘Continuum’ exhibitions began as an effort to keep in touch with our students after they graduate,” Garrison says. “We are so close to them during their years in our program, and then it seemed we would lose contact as they went off into the wider art world.

“The ‘Continuum’ exhibitions give our graduates the opportunity to keep in touch with the university, the faculty and each other. We want to build a broad arts community with UWM as the home base.”

Bruce Knackert, director of galleries in the Peck School of the Arts and curator for ‘Continuum 9,’ describes the display. “There are four separate rooms in the Arts Center gallery,” he says. “The big room will hold Adolph Rosenblatt’s large-scale work, and the three smaller spaces will hold a collection of work by the other three artists. We’ve created an exhibition that displays a range of work by each artist.”

Knackert adds, “It’s exciting to showcase Adolph and Eli together and recognize the Rosenblatt family for their creative contributions to Milwaukee’s art scene.” Rosenblatt Gallery is located at 181 N. Broadway, above Artasia, an import gallery owned by Eli Rosenblatt. There are seven artists and writers in the Rosenblatt family

Waldhart becomes the eighth Panther to garner the Coleman Award and the sixth male recipient. In the last six years, UWM male student-athletes have collected four honors, including a string of three straight from 2005-07.

The senior was a two-time captain of the Milwaukee men’s swimming and diving

program, leading his squad to a Horizon League championship in 2010. He holds six Panther swimming records and two Klotsche Natatorium Pool records.

The Horizon League’s highest individual honor, the Coleman Award is presented annually to the league’s top male and female student-athletes who best exemplify the dignity and high purpose of the league and its membership. The individuals demon-strate outstanding achievement in academics, athlet-ics and extracurricular activities.

Candidates must be seniors who have exhausted their eligibility and were participants on the varsity

level in a league-sponsored sport. In addition, nomi-nees must have a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, or its equivalent.

Waldhart qualified for and competed in the 2009 U.S. Open Championships and the 2009 USA AT&T Short Course National Championships. The West Bend, Wis., native has been honored with the Milwaukee Swimming and Diving Coach’s Award all four years of his collegiate career, and earned the prestigious Panther Senior Athlete Award at the annual Student-Athlete Awards Reception.

The Pre-Med Biology graduate was recently named a member of the 2010 ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America At-Large Men’s Team, the only Horizon League student-athlete to earn that recognition. He is a four-time winner of the UWM Faculty Athletic Representative’s Award, given annu-ally to the individual with the highest grade-point average on the swimming and diving team.

Waldhart has also been honored with the New Direction Scholarship awarded by the College of Letters and Science and the Oscar and Augusta Schlegle Academic/Community Scholarship. The eight-time Dean’s List honoree plans to attend medi-cal school at Michigan State this fall, working in osteopathic medicine.

Along with being a three-year Student-Athlete Advisory Committee member and a representative on the NCAA Recertification Student Committee, Waldhart has spent numerous hours volunteering in

the community. He has assisted the Walker’s Point Community Clinic as a social worker and a Spanish translator and communicator.

Waldhart also volunteers as a UWM Athletic Department tutor and has participated in organizing the Panther Prowl in each of the last four years.

“Jeremy is an outstanding individual whom I couldn’t be happier for in receiving this honor,” UWM swimming and diving coach Erica Janssen said. “He has brought the entire team to a new level over his four-year career at Milwaukee.

“His leadership as a captain and as a talented swimmer helped the men win their first champion-ship in 10 years. He is going to continue making huge waves in his life as he moves on from college swimming to medical school this fall.”

Jackie Kondratko of Valparaiso’s women’s soccer team was named the league’s female honoree.

“We are exceptionally proud of what Jeremy and Jackie have accomplished in their collegiate careers as individuals and as members of successful teams,” Horizon League Commissioner Jon LeCrone said. “While student-athletes so often get praised for their work on the court or on the field, the Coleman Award also recognizes athletes for their character and tireless efforts in the classroom and community. These two individuals exemplify what our four plat-forms are all about, and we wish them well in their future endeavors.”

uwM wiNS fifth StraiGht leaGue woMeN’S all-SportS award

UWM won four women’s team league titles en route to claiming its fifth straight Horizon League Women’s All-Sports Award.

The strong performance on the women’s side, in addition to four more league crowns on the men’s side, left UWM just short of its sixth McCafferty Trophy, the league’s all-sports award. Milwaukee finished with 51 total points, just one-half point behind Butler University.

The women’s sports award is the ninth in the last 10 years for UWM, which claimed women’s league crowns in indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, soccer and volleyball.

UWM won the McCafferty Trophy a year ago, adding to titles it won in 2001, 2004, 2005 and 2006.

This year, UWM collected 27 points in women’s sports, outdistancing Butler’s 23. The Panthers, who have also won three Men’s All-Sports awards, finished second in the men’s award race with 24 points. Baseball, swimming and diving, indoor track and field, and outdoor track and field claimed men’s league titles this past year.

The McCafferty Trophy is awarded annually by the Horizon League to a member institution compil-ing the greatest number of performance points,

based on their finish in the League’s 19 champion-ship sports.

For the sports of men’s and women’s soccer, volleyball, men’s and women’s basketball, softball and baseball, points are awarded based on combined regular-season (60 percent) and championship (40 percent) finishes.

For all other sports, points are based on perfor-mance in the league championships. The award is named in honor of James J. McCafferty, who served as the conference’s first commissioner from 1979-80.

paNther woMeN’S BaSKetBall NaMed to wBCa aCadeMiC top 25 hoNor roll

The UWM women’s basketball team has been named to the Women’s Basketball Coaches’ Association (WBCA) Academic Top 25 Honor Roll.

The Panthers boast a team grade-point average of 3.340 to rank 22nd in NCAA Division I. The only Horizon League team represented on the list, Milwaukee cracked the top 25 for the fourth time since 2003.

“It’s great to get back in the top 25,” UWM head coach Sandy Botham said. “Our players take great pride in the classroom and it shows. We stress academics at Milwaukee and it’s something we stress to our players every day. This honor is just a credit to their hard work.”

Junior Ashley Imperiale has been an Academic All-Horizon League Team selection the last two years with a perfect 4.0 GPA. In May, she was honored with the UWM Athletic Director’s Award for having the highest cumulative GPA in the Athletics Department.

UWM adds another Women’s All-Sports Award to the hoarde of league honors amassed in the last several years.

What is the HRS (Human Resources System) project and what does it mean for you?

What is the HRS project?The HRS project is a comprehensive UW System (UWS) multi-year project to

modernize the UW System’s human resources and payroll functions. It will address both recordkeeping systems and business processes. The new HRS will replace the decades-old UWS payroll system used by UWM and other campuses.

With the design phase of HRS completed, work is underway at each campus to convert data and test the system using varying scenarios. Simultaneously, the UWM Work Process Redesign team is examining the current workflow on campus and developing workflow procedures and role definitions for HRS tasks.

What will HRS mean for UWM employees? The most noticeable benefit will be the self-service functionality allowing faculty,

staff and student employees to not only view payroll and benefits information but to also update information and enroll in benefits packages online.

For staff involved in human resources, payroll and benefits processes, the new HRS will provide greater efficiencies for hiring new employees, tracking leave, facilitating payroll and handling benefits.

Why is this new system necessary?Currently, there are hundreds of individual systems for human resources, benefits

and payroll processes at the UW System’s 13 four-year universities, 13 two-year colleges, 72 county extension offices and several other locations. These institutions issue more than 67,000 paychecks monthly and process over 100,000 tax forms for faculty, staff and student employees.

HRS will integrate the various systems across the UW System and address the workflow processes and flow of information. The result will be greater processing efficiencies for the various functions that involve an employee—the hiring process, time and absence management, benefits enrollment, and payroll execution.

Additionally, the System will provide enhanced security for confidential information such as Social Security numbers. HRS will also ensure that the processes are in full compliance with the regulatory and legal requirements associated with personnel information and record keeping.

How can you prepare for HRS?HRS is scheduled to be deployed in spring 2011. There are many ways you

can stay informed and ensure you’re prepared.

Project Website—Visit the project website at hrs.uwm.edu. There you’ll find news and announcements, upcoming events, FAQs and other project-related information.

Training—Enroll in the series of foundation courses now available. Individuals involved in payroll, human resources or benefits functions should take these online courses as they provide the foundation for the various processes to be used here at UWM. Visit hrs.uwm.edu and click on the “Training” link for dates and more information.

Open Forums and other campus events—Attend the monthly HRS Campus Open Forum for project updates and to ask questions. Open Forums for the fall semester will be held on Wednesdays from 2:30–3:30 p.m. on Sept. 29, Oct. 27, Nov. 24 and Dec. 22. Visit the project website for locations and information about other events.

Campus News Announcements—Watch for campus news announcements delivered to your pantherLINK e-mail account each Monday from University Relations or visit news.uwm.edu.

Have a question about the project? E-mail [email protected].

The HRS project is a significant undertaking involving hundreds of specialists who are working to ensure that the System is deployed on time and provides efficiencies for UW System institutions, their units and departments. HRS is designed to “serve our most important resource—people.”

HRS and You

Did you know that when you copy or scan a document, you may be leaving confidential or personal information behind that could be at risk for unauthorized access?

Print & Copy Services is in the process of installing an SD (Security Device) card on Lanier Multifunction Devices (MFDs) leased to campus units. The goal is to

prevent unauthorized access to data that is sent to the hard drive when a document is copied or scanned.

Security Vulnerability ExposedRecent news articles and television reports have focused on the security

of information left on the hard drives of devices used to copy, scan or print. Oftentimes individuals using this equipment are unaware that information contained on their documents is sent to the hard drive where it resides and could be vulnerable to unauthorized access.

Enhanced Security on Leased Lanier Multifunction PrintersKeeping Confidential and Personal Information Secure

technology uwm@Technology that Works for You

Leased MFDs ProtectedIn the past, Print & Copy Services removed hard drives and shredded them

at the end of the lease before machines were returned to the vendor. However, Lanier is now requiring all MFDs and printers to be returned at the end of their lease with their hard drives intact.

To protect data, Lanier offers DOSS (Data Overwrite Security System) which overwrites data on the hard drive of MFDs. Upon installation, DOSS will “scrub” the hard drive thus eliminating access to all information stored from prior usage up to that point. Thereafter each time the machine is used, DOSS will automatically do a three-pass overwrite to data with random sequences of 0’s and 1’s making it virtually impossible to access or reconstruct data on the hard drive.

The installation of DOSS will provide an enhanced level of security for both departments and the University ensuring that confidential and private data captured on leased Lanier MFDs is protected and not available for unauthorized use. All Lanier MFDs leased in the future will have DOSS pre-installed.

If you have a non-leased copier that you believe may be capturing personal and/or confidential information, contact the vendor for additional information and assistance.

For more information about the UWM HRS project, visit hrs.uwm.edu


In the past, Social Security numbers (SSNs) were used across campus as an individual’s identifier. SSNs even appeared on ID cards and grade reports.

By law, Social Security numbers must be protected. UWM has recently established a protocol to guide the use of SSNs for faculty, staff and students.

According to the protocol document:“SSNs should not be captured, retained, communicated, transmitted,

displayed or printed, in whole or in part, except when required or

permitted by law and where no other reasonable alternative exists.

SSNs may not be used as the primary identifier for any individual.”

This includes “any data format, including but not limited to, oral or written words, screen display, electronic transmission, stored electronic media, printed material, facsimile or other human or machine-readable medium.” It does not include “instances where only the last four digits of the SSN are stored or transmitted to verify an identity.”

The UWM SSN protocol document further identifies the roles and responsibilities of those who are considered data custodians for student, employee and research information. It also delineates the protocol for handling SSNs.

All faculty and staff are encouraged to become familiar with the protocol regarding use of SSNs. The document can be found online at security.uwm.edu; click on the “Policies and Guidelines” link at the top of the page and the “UWM Information Assurance Protocol for Social Security Numbers” link.

In addition, the UWM Information Security Office has developed an on-line training module that takes less than one hour to complete. This online training offers the flexibility of completing the training at any time and provides a means of tracking the completion of the training for personal or professional purposes. Access this and other Information Security training at security.uwm.edu; click on the “Training” tab.

Purchasing software for departmental- and home-use at the UWM TechStore Online website (techstore.uwm.edu) is now easier and faster. A recent upgrade to the software has provided new features.

Improved registration process—When individuals log into the UWM TechStore for the first time, their account information is automatically pulled from the UWM database. This eliminates the need for first-time shoppers to register online prior to viewing software and shopping.

Faster delivery of home-use software—Software purchased for home-use will now be delivered via download. Customers will receive a download link automatically via e-mail to install their software. This reduces the delivery time to minutes, as opposed to three business days in the prior system. Some large-file software will still require that the individual pick-up the media and upload the software.

Instant notification for campus-use software requests—Departmental IT staff will be notified instantly via e-mail when faculty or staff within their department purchase campus-use software. In the prior system, notification took 24-48 hours.

Automated billing for recurring purchases—For orders that occur on a regular basis (e.g., annually), there is an option to automatically charge an account. The payment will still need to be processed locally but the notification for the annual renewal can be automated.

Proper use of SSNs

Online Software Purchases via UWM TechStore Now Easier!

New UWM Help Desk HoursUWM Help Desk consultants are now available to answer questions about technology and troubleshoot problems from 7 a.m.–midnight, seven days a week at 414-229-4040, toll-free at 877-381-3459 or via the online form at GetTechHelp.uwm.edu. This change from a 24/7 Help Desk is a result of budgetary considerations and will minimize costs during the overnight hours when the UWM Help Desk receives very few inquiries. After midnight, callers will be directed to use the online form at GetTechHelp.uwm.edu. These requests will be processed beginning at 7 a.m. the next day. Individuals calling with notification of a service outage or degradation should leave a message regarding the problem. Voicemails received during overnight hours (midnight-7 a.m.) regarding IT service failure or degradation will be monitored. Situations regarding immediate attention will be escalated for investigation and resolution.

Work Begins on Campus Wireless Network University Information Technology Services (UITS) has received 2010-11 EdTech student fees to improve the PROWLnet campus wireless network. Funds will be used to install the next generation of wireless networking in the Union and Library Learning Commons. This will provide higher speed in these areas. While this upgrade will improve connectivity in these two highly-utilized areas, there may continue to be connectivity issues throughout campus. The need to improve PROWLnet is a result of the proliferation of mobile devices and increasing use of laptops with wireless capabilities. Upgrades to the next generation of wireless networking for the remaining areas of campus will be based on campus priorities. Questions or problems regarding PROWLnet should be directed to the UWM Help Desk.

UWM LIBRARIES

MilwauKee Civil riGhtS weBSite lauNCh

By Christel Maass

A new UWM Libraries website that features historical documents, news footage and photo-graphs documenting the civil rights movement in Milwaukee will be officially launched at a special edition of the Archives Department’s annual “Revisiting Our Past” Local History Lecture at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 16, at Milwaukee’s Central Library.

Jack Dougherty, prize-winning author and faculty member at Trinity College (Hartford, Conn.), will present a talk that explores how the new site, “March On Milwaukee” Civil Rights Digital History Project, and other digital resources, can help educators, students and the general public better understand the city’s rich civil rights history.

Local civil rights activists Peggy Rozga and Vel Phillips will also offer remarks at the event.

“March On Milwaukee” (marchonmilwaukee.uwm.edu) was created by a team of 13 profes-sional staff, faculty and students from the UWM Libraries and the UWM History Department, and contains a selection of primary source materials, including textual documents, photographs, audio recordings and transcripts, and film footage.

Jasmine Alinder, associate professor of history, is the force behind this project.

Materials on the site were selected from a number of heavily used civil rights collections in the UWM Libraries’ Archives Department, includ-ing the James Groppi papers, Lloyd Barbee papers,

Congress of Racial Equality Milwaukee Chapter records, Milwaukee United School Integration Committee records, Records of the Henry Maier Administration and Milwaukee Journal Stations records (WTMJ-TV), among other materials.

Partnering with the Libraries on the project were the UWM Cultures and Communities program, UWM History Department, Milwaukee Public Library and Wisconsin Historical Society.

Dougherty’s talk, “When Civil Rights History

Meets the Digital Era,” is free and open to the public, and will be held in the Loos Room of the Central Library’s Centennial Hall, 733 N. Eighth St. Street parking is free after 6 p.m.

For more information, please contact the UWM Libraries’ Archives Department at 414-229-5402, or the Milwaukee Public Library to arrange for special needs at 414-286-3021.

liBrary SCholar award wiNNerS aNNouNCed

Kerry Dore, a Ph.D. candidate in Physical Anthropology, and Jackleen Salem, a Ph.D. in Global History, are the recipients of the 2010-11 Chancellor’s Golda Meir Library Scholar Awards.

Kerry DoreDore’s research focuses on vervet monkey crop-

raiding on St. Kitts, examining this human-wildlife conflict through the lens of ethnoprimatology.

The objectives of her project are to determine perceptions of risk by conducting interviews with Kittitians, determine actual risk by creating a predic-tive model of vervet crop-raiding and measure the impact of crop-raiding on vervet monkey behavior – in effect, looking at the responses of humans and monkeys to each other.

In addition to accessing a wide range of tradition-al academic resources in the UWM Libraries, Dore will especially depend on the American Geographical Society Library’s GIS data and support as she creates her temporal/spatial model.

Jackleen SalemSalem’s dissertation research considers the history

of Muslim immigration in America, and specifically the history of the Muslim community in the south-west suburbs of Chicago, 1953-2003, as a model of how an immigrant Muslim community develops, settles, adjusts, assimilates and grows in the American context while trying to establish a Muslim space.

Included in her study are the multiethnic influ-ences within the community and how women have become key players in identity formation and community building.

Among the many Libraries’ materials she will be using are the Archives’ collections on underrepre-sented populations and Special Collections’ volumes on social justice.

Poster promoting the boycott of Milwaukee Public Schools.

Dore and Salem will present a report of their work in “The Scholar and the Library” lecture series sponsored by the Libraries.

The $5,000 awards, which support the research of outstanding UWM graduate students, also include special assistance from the Libraries for the completion of the recipients’ dissertations.

There were 52 applicants this year, distributed across a range of disciplines. A subcommittee of the University Libraries Committee reviewed the applications and submitted its selections to the Chancellor. The Provost’s Office provided the fund-ing for the award.

uNiverSity iNSuraNCe aSSoCiatioNThe University Insurance Association (UIA)

provides a low-cost life insurance plan for faculty and academic staff. The plan is often referred to as the “mandatory life insurance plan” because cover-age is a condition of employment for unclassified employees whose earnings equal or exceed a mini-mum salary level that is determined each year.

Faculty and academic staff who previously had coverage are required to continue coverage even if their October earnings are below the minimum salary. The annual premium of $24 is deducted from checks paid on Nov. 1 each year.

The plan is a decreasing term insurance, with benefits ranging from $60,000 for employees age 21-27, to $2,000 for employees age 70 or older.

Brochures are available online at: uwsa.edu/hr/benefits/ins/luia_cert.pdf.

Curative Care NetworK arChiveS aCQuired By uwM liBrarieS

By Michael Doylen

In July, Curative Care Network – a service orga-nization founded in 1919 that works to improve the function and quality of life for thousands of persons across the Greater Milwaukee area with disabilities or limiting conditions – made a generous gift of its historical records to the UWM Libraries.

Ginny Stoffel, chair of UWM’s Department of Occupational Therapy, says that the records “repre-sent a rich slice of Milwaukee history that will give us insights about the growth of the profession of occupational therapy and the use of assistive technol-ogy in making it possible for people with disabilities to participate in everyday life.”

Curative was originally housed in a one-room cottage on the grounds of Columbia Hospital. Students enrolled in the occupational therapy course at the nearby Milwaukee-Downer College gained practical experience assisting at the Curative Workshop, as it was originally known.

The workshop grew over the years, expanding its services and changing locations several times. It provided services for injured defense workers in 1941, and a speech clinic for injured WWII veterans in 1945.

Today, Curative provides quality services to children, adults and seniors at community-based sites in Milwaukee and Waukesha counties. Its services include adult day, case management, child and youth, industrial, residential, senior and voca-tional programs.

The collection includes meeting minutes, annual reports, scrapbooks, photographs and a wide array of films and videos documenting therapy techniques. In addition to telling the history of Curative, the archives provide a trove of information on the devel-opment of occupational therapy in the United States generally.

“This is so exciting for UWM, Milwaukee and my profession,” Stoffel says. “We look forward to the learning and research opportunities that these archives offer our faculty and students.”

The collection is accessible in the Archives’ Department of the Libraries.
