Cameron University chemistry professor Elizabeth Ann Nalley knew she wanted to be a scientist when she was just a 5-year-old farm girl in eastern Oklahoma. She started school at age 4 in rural Missouri after learning to read and write from her mother . But when her family moved to Oklahoma, state law prevented her from attending classes again until she turned 6. ?I say I took my first sabbatical at 5 years old,? Nalley joked. She worked as a caretaker for a neighbor with severe arthritis and continued to read books from the local library. ?I read the story of Marie Curie and I would say she is my mentor and role model,? Nalley said. When she turned 6, Nalley went to school at Elm Grove School, a one-room schoolhouse with only 13 pupils. Nalley said she ended up learning math well above her grade level because of the intimate environment where every grade was together. Friday afternoons meant math contests at the chalkboard in the front of the schoolroom. Soon, she was participating in, and winning, the weekly competitions. Nalley attended Checotah High School, where she took physics and chemistry. Her chemistry teacher nominated her for a National Science Foundation summer program the summer between her junior and senior years. Nalley said there were 26 students at the summer camp ? 21 boys and five girls. They studied chemical engineering for six weeks at Oklahoma State University. The experience changed Nalley?s life, she said. It opened up tantalizing possibilities for her future. ?I came back with a slide rule with my name engraved on it and tremendous inspiration to go on and become a scientist,? she said. Nalley earned a bachelor?s degree in chemical education from Northeastern Oklahoma University and went to work as a science teacher at Muskogee Central High School. She said her experience as a high school teacher wasn?t enjoyable, so she enrolled at OSU to work on a master?s degree in chemistry. As she neared graduation, Nalley began looking for a job, but times were tough. Nalley was teaching lower-level courses at OSU when one of her colleagues, Clarence Breedlove, decided to help her out. Breedlove was the former dean of Cameron Junior College. He called Don Owen, president of Cameron, and told him about Nalley?s job search. The next day, Nalley said, the head of Cameron?s Physical Sciences Department drove to Stillwater and interviewed her. It turned out he had taken a laboratory course at OSU under Nalley, so they already knew one another. He offered her a professorship and she took it without ever seeing Cameron?s campus. Nalley came to Cameron in 1969, while the school was in the process of becoming a four-year college. The president told her if she planned to stay, she needed a doctorate in her field ? preferably from an out-of-state university. While she taught at Cameron, Nalley attended Texas Women?s University, where she earned a Ph.D. in chemistry in 1975. Nalley has earned many accolades during her long tenure as a Cameron professor. She was the first woman to be appointed to The International Chemical Congress of Pacific Basin Societies (Pacifichem) in 2000. The leaders of the international chemistry organization told Nalley they were hesitant to appoint her because of her gender. They warned her she would face serious discrimination when dealing with the Japanese scientists, who were a powerhouse in Pacifichem. ?I said ?Well, I?ll make them like working with me,?? Nalley said. Nalley worked hard to establish good relations with the Japanese and scientists from all of the other Pacific basin nations. In 2003, she was invited to be a guest of Japan?s Emperor Akihito as part of her membership in Pacifichem. She gave the emperor a gift that drew upon her own Cherokee Indian heritage, in the form of a ceramic white buffalo. With the aid of an interpreter, Nalley told the emperor the white buffalo symbolized friendship, peace, understanding, building connections between people and looking forward to a bright future. ?He was really moved,? she said. Nalley gave similar ceramic white buffaloes to some of her colleagues in the Japanese Chemical Society. Nalley served as president of the American Chemical Society in 2006. She remains the only Oklahoman and the only chemist from a smaller university to have ever served in the prestigious post. She was only the fifth woman to have been elected the president of the ACS. According to the American Chemical Society?s website, ?ACS is a congressionally chartered independent membership organization which represents professionals at all degree levels and in all fields of chemistry and sciences that involve chemistry.? Nalley traveled all over the world representing the ACS during her term. Nalley said she is also very proud to have been named to the Oklahoma Higher Education Heritage Society?s Hall of Fame in 2010. ?In terms of where I am in Oklahoma, that was really meaningful to me,? she said. Nalley currently holds the Clarence E. Page Endowed Chair in Math and Science Education at CU and is also a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, among her many other accomplishments. Outside of work, Nalley and her husband, retired Federal Aviation Administration executive Robert Mullican, live on a ranch outside of Chickasha, where they operate an animal rescue for unwanted pets and livestock. She takes care of cattle, horses, dogs and about 60 cats every day. Her stepson, George Mullican, is a successful attorney in Tulsa and a Cameron graduate. Nalley travels constantly to support her work for various scientific organizations and for science symposiums worldwide. Her husband often accompanies her. Nalley, 70, said she plans to continue her work for as long as she is physically and mentally able. However, she does have plans to write a memoir someday soon.

If as few as 20 percent of students finishing an online course is considered a wild success and 10 percent and lower is standard, then it would appear that MOOCs are still more of a hobby than a viable alternative to traditional classroom education." nytimes.com Bumphus: CCs must limit ?mission creep? "Community colleges are doing more with less, writes Walter Bumphus, president and CEO of the American Association of Community Colleges, in Community College Week. But there are limits to what the hard-pressed system can do well. The fundamental question in analyzing the ever-evolving mission of the community college is, 'where do we draw the line?'

In the paper, 'Post-traditional Learners and the Transformation of Postsecondary Education: A Manifesto for College Leaders,' Mr. Soares concludes that such adult learners, ages 25 to 64 and lacking a college credential, are being underserved by current higher-education institutions even as their share of enrollments grows?a trend that represents a much more significant shift than the advent of new technologies for distance education." chronicle.com [Tail] [InsideTrack] Join the discussion with the InsideTrack LinkedIn Group Keep track of the latest higher ed news and opinions while connecting with peers interested in increasing the number of students who start and finish college.

The program's focus is Biological Basis of Human and Animal Behavior. The project is funded by the National Science Foundation (SMA 1063091).The goal of this program is to provide 12 undergraduate students with an in-depth, hands-on research experience focused on the biological basis of animal and human behavior. Students will be trained in the application of the scientific method to develop hypotheses, design and conduct research studies involving either animal or human subjects. Students will also be trained in the responsible conduct of research. Students will be mentored by full-time, Ph.D.-level faculty members who are tenured/tenure-track faculty with strong programs of research. Students selected for the program will be expected to devote at least 40 hours a week for research; thus, it is not possible to be enrolled in courses or other activities during the program. Program dates: June 1, 2013-July 27, 2013 Application deadline: February 15, 2013 To be eligible, students must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident who is currently enrolled in an undergraduate program. Each student will reside in a campus dormitory (at no cost to the student) and receive $500 per week to cover food and other living expenses. Students will receive a $500 travel stipend to pay for their travel to and from campus and a $500 additional stipend, if students present research at an academic conference. Information about how to submit an application is available at http://psychology.okstate.edu/faculty/kennison/osunsfreu.htm. We especially welcome applications from students from underrepresented groups, including first generation college students and students from rural areas. Please share this with any interested students and forward it to any colleagues who may have students who are interested in learning more about the program. Sincerely, Shelia M.

The focus is on "software safety," however, the technology and skills learned by the students have general applicability to research and practice in their future studies. We provide a close collaboration with our industry partners. In addition to work on assigned research projects at UTD, field trips to Raytheon, Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company, and EDS/HP will be arranged to help the students better understand how software safety is adopted in practice for real-life applications. This also gives students a chance to directly communicate with practitioners to receive a first-hand account of the work environments and lifestyles in the industry. We also host special workshops on technical writing and oral presentation to improve students' proficiency in preparing and delivering technical reports. A highlight which provides an overview of our program including research projects, lectures, and field trips is available at YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kRIUNotUdQ In addition, videos (along with PowerPoint slide shows) for students' project presentations as well as lectures on software safety and technical writing are also posted: http://paris.utdallas.edu/reu/Video.html Eligible applicants are those who have an interest in pursuing a graduate education, are currently enrolled in an accredited undergraduate institution, and are U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Incoming seniors will be given preference, but sophomores and juniors with strong academic records will also be considered. Special welcome is extended to students from underrepresented groups (women, minorities, and persons with disabilities) and academic institutions with limited research opportunities. Selected participants will receive a scholarship to conduct research with a faculty member in the Computer Science Department at UTD. Included will be a $5,000 stipend ($500/week) and a travel reimbursement for those from outside the Dallas metro area. We also provide housing on campus free to the REU students.
