Rad tech achievers named to national honor society The following Coastal Bend College Radiologic Technology students were named to Lambda Nu (ΛΝ) National Honor Society for Radiologic and Imaging Sciences: Deborah Garcia of Kingsville; Steven Gibson of Jourdanton; Laura Gonzales of Mathis; Stephen Nester of Alice; Rebecca Richardson of Kingsville; and Samantha Stehling of Beeville. Lambda Nu’s name is derived from the lower case Greek characters in the formula λν, which represents wavelength (λ) and frequency (ν). Lambda Nu uses the upper case Greek characters Λ (Lambda) and Ν (Nu) to represent the inverse relationship and delicate balance required between the art and the science inherent in the radiologic and imaging sciences professions of radiography, radiation therapy, nuclear medicine, diagnostic medical sonography, cardiovascular-interventional technology, mammography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, quality management, and bone densitometry.
County Judge takes on government Kleberg County Judge Juan Escobar was recently guest speaker in Twila Johnson’s Government 2306 classes. Judge Escobar is also former District 43 State Representative. He spoke about the legislative process and county judgeship and took questions from the students.
The honor society’s objectives are to: » foster academic scholarship at the highest academic levels » promote research and investigation in the radiologic and imaging sciences » recognize exemplary scholarship There are currently 119 Lambda Nu chapters in 40 states, including Texas chapters at Coastal Bend College; University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center School of Health Sciences Programs in Radiation Oncology in Houston; Del Mar College in Corpus Christi; and Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls. Coastal Bend College students belong to the Texas Chi Beta Chi Chapter. Lambda Nu’s home chapter is at Arkansas State University.

Math rules Kingsville elementary students build math skills with Measure Mania
Measurement Mania is done in partnership with Kingsville Chamber of Commerce, Coastal Bend College and Texas A&M University -- Kingsville Special Programs, and four elementary schools: N.M. Harrel Elementary School, A.D. Harvey Elementary School, Alice G.K. Kleberg Elementary School and Jesus R. Perez Elementary School. The Chamber Education Committee, having identified math as a major concern of the region’s
public school districts, set about finding a way to make a difference. The chamber goal is to augment the work of school teachers with an event that presents TAKS math principles and applies them in a planned, but informal, setting that puts fun into math. Student participants are fifthgraders who are near to, but not quite passing TAKS. “The intent is not to re-teach math, but to provide an experience that gives students a different perspective that can possibly have a positive effect during the upcoming test, said Ann Harrell who chairs the committee. Harrell is a board member of the Kingsville Chamber of Commerce and Director of CBC Kingsville Campus. This is her third year coordinating this event. “Both the participating students and their school representatives express tremendous support for the program. I literally have never seen kids having so much fun with math.” The curriculum was developed
Page 22
by a math consultant from the Kingsville Independent School District who works with the local chamber to provide activities and materials, and facilitates the event. Kleberg First National Bank donates funds for curriculum and materials each year. The location is provided by TAMUK Student Affairs; volunteer table leaders are TAMUK special programs students who are trained by a math consultant; and the food is paid for by TAMUK Special Programs. “Anecdotal reports and evaluations have so far been very good,” Harrell explained. There are two evaluations that help to measure the program’s impact. One is student-oriented and done at the end of the event before students board their buses to return to school. The other is done around the time that TAKS results come in, and is designed to give numerical data how the event impacted student success on math TAKS.
