Lessons learned from space shuttle disasters
Jessica Watts publishes new children’s book JENNIE VU Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton alumna Jessica Watts loves the unusual. Her children’s book, titled “Frank N’ Goat,” is just that. The book is about two unlikely friends, Frankenstein and a goat named ‘Goat.’ They go on numerous adventures together from, sharing a cup of tea to creating online dating profiles. Watts doesn’t have a specific audience for this book, but said it is intended for “immature adults and kids alike.” A big fan of wordplay, Watts hid plenty of puns and pop culture references throughout “Frank N’ Goat.” If the reader looks closely, he or she will find references from the original Frankenstein novel by Mary Shelley, goat heads and Winnie the Pooh in the pictures. “It’s the type of book where the more you read, the more you find,” Watts said. It took almost two years to write and illustrate “Frank N’ Goat.” Watts, who minored in fine arts at CSUF, illustrated all of the watercolor artwork included in the book. SEE BOOK

Mark Maier, Ph.D., a leadership professor from Chapman University, draws comparisons between NASA’s failed space shuttle launches and management theory in a lecture on Tuesday. The lecture is part of a series hosted by the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute.
Lecture relates leadership to NASA’s failures GRAHAM MCTAGUE Daily Titan In an Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) hosted seminar, Mark Maier, Ph.D., presented NASA’s
Challenger and Columbia shuttle disasters through the lense of organization and management leadership lessons, Tuesday. Maier used the two shuttle disasters as examples of decision making and risk assessment. Maier is the associate professor of leadership in the College of Educational Studies at Chapman University and is also director of
the undergraduate Leadership Studies Program. Maier introduced two prominent styles of leadership, “the power model” and “the service model,” along with his proposed “alternative paradigm” to these existing methods. “(The power model) is the prevailing model of leadership,” Maier said. This style of leadership is anchored on control from
the boss and how a person can maximize their own personal gain without upsetting the leader, he said. It was NASA’s reliance on the power model that led to the disasters during the Challenger and Columbia launches, Maier said. Maier agreed with a vocal member of the audience that most successful businesses use a combination of both the power and service
leadership models. “You have two tragic failures, separated 17 years apart,” said Maier. “Those who can’t learn from the past are destined to repeat it.” He said that there is a way to prevent situations like the Challenger’s from happening by embracing a newer approach to leadership. SEE SPACE 3
Health center teaches nutrition skills Students learn to create more balanced meals JENNIE VU Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton’s Health and Counseling Center held its weekly nutrition workshop on Tuesday to give students a basic rundown on the common mistakes people make in their eating habits. This is the center’s third year hosting free workshops for students. The topics alternate every week. Tuesday’s topic was “Nutrition 101,” which focused on the common misconceptions regarding protein and whole grains. Nutrition advocates and peer health educators Christine Jimenez and Daniel Quezada educated
participants about the kinds of food that students should and shouldn’t eat. On a powerpoint presentation, slides talked about each food category: fruits, vegetables, grain, dairy, fat and meat. For each topic, there were facts about how each of the types of food are important for the human body. Jimenez and Quezada went over the basics for each food group, such as serving sizes, appropriate daily amounts and nutritional value for the body. The workshop was small and gave students a chance to interact with educators. There was discussion about habits that students need to break in order to stay healthy, like the over consumption of proteins, Quezada said. “Most Americans eat more protein than they actually should,” he said.
