DESIGN As a reader of this magazine, we know you care deeply about the beauty of our environment.
Every year, hundreds of thousands of sea turtles, dolphins, sea birds, and other marine life are consumed by the sea. We know that some of these species perish from litter and trash ingestion. This causes a slow, painful, and gruesome demise. When sea creatures become sick, they leave the shore areas to avoid predators and head out to

The unemployment rate for veterans of all ages remains stuck at rates substantially higher than the national average. We are seeking funding to acquire watercraft and pay operating expenses in order to take the fight into the less visible, yet highly vulnerable areas, while enabling our working veterans to find meaningful employment and transition into the private sector. As they make a measurable impact on the environment, our veterans receive exposure to the corporate job market for eventual transition to full-time employment.
Wounded Nature - Working Veterans puts the overwhelming majority of our resources toward remedial action to end this vicious cycle. Within the non-profit sector, less than three percent of all funds and personnel are dedicated to fixing problems through remedial action. Most donations are spent on policy, research, education, recycling, and attending international conferences. Though based in Charleston, our vision is to make an impact throughout the US and, ultimately, the world-leaving it a better place for the next generations.

DESIGN Global Teaching Professors from Overseas by Denishia Macon
Our international faculty within the School of Journalism and Mass Communications and the School of Library and Information Science have made a positive impact on their students within the classroom, as well as through their involvement within the University of South Carolina. Dr. Liu, Dr. Kawooya and Dr. Kim are great examples of how differing perspectives can make a distinctive difference in the learning process.
New Faculty
Story by Kimberly Elchlepp Design by Denishia Macon The new faculty joining the College of Mass Communications and Information Studies come from near and far -- Uganda, China, Syracuse, Oklahoma and Middle Tennessee. Dr. Shannon Bowen
Dr. Dick Kawooya is from Uganda and teach Information Literacy and Technology.
Dr. Jingjing Liu is from the Shandong Province in China and teaches the Information Literacy and Technology Class.
Dr. Sei-Hill Kim is from South Korea and teaches three research method classes.
Dr. Dick Kawooya, Ph.D.
Dr. Jingjing Liu, Ph.D.
Dr. Kawooya’s transition to America in 2000 began his journey here as he learned a lot while in the master’s program at Valdosta State University in Georgia. He describes himself as hard working, international and informational. He influences his students by teaching the importance of proper communication in his class. He applies this by encouraging personal one-on-one meetings and interactions with his students in and out of class whenever possible. These personal meetings enable him to explain complex issues so that the student is better able to understand the materials. He also takes an international approach to issues wherever necessary or possible. This approach allows his students to have a different angle to issues they would otherwise simply view from their own perspective, with no thought on the global context. “I want my students to gain as much as they can from my class, so communication is essential. I like to share my international experiences so that my students can gain more in the learning process,” said Dr. Kawooya.
Dr. Liu recounts her experience when she first came to America as a student at the University of Mississippi to work on her master’s in 2002. She became interested in information science because her parents are teachers in China and encouraged her to spread knowledge to others. Her research also focuses on the study of how to improve search systems by understanding user needs and behaviors, a key example of the use of information. She describes herself as being friendly, collaborative and hard working and presents that within the classroom to her students. She does this by always managing to find time to talk with her students, helping them when they have questions about the material and encouraging them to actively engage in discussions in class. “All of my experiences in library and information science have prepared me to teach my students. I can relate to them as I was once a student as well,” said Dr. Liu.
Dr. Sei-Hill Kim, Ph.D. Dr. Kim transitioned here in 1995, eventually making the move to USC from teaching at Auburn University. He felt that Columbia was the right size and USC provided better opportunities for collaboration and research, which served as key incentives to encourage him to teach here. His areas of research focus on the public’s perceptions about medical research and science. Within his classes, he wants for his students to learn how to research as well as explore the wide variety of topics. He also wants them to see his class with a global viewpoint, which is similar to how he remembers his classes in Korea. For example, most first-tier universities in Korea teach about 30% of their classes in English. “In Korea, classes were more internationally oriented so I want to bring that type of structure to my classes here,” said Dr. Kim.

Dr. Bowen joins SJMC as an associate professor for the public relations track. She is returning to the University of South Carolina after receiving her Ph.D. from the University of Maryland and teaching in the public relations department of the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University. Dr. Bowen received her master’s degree from the University of South Carolina and received bachelor’s degree from University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. Other than the fact that it felt like home, Dr. Bowen decided to return to USC because of the focus placed on research that cannot be found at many other universities. When she isn’t teaching Dr. Bowen loves going to USC football games and spending time by the ocean.
Dr. Deborah Gump Dr. Gump joins SJMC as a visiting professor in the journalism sequence. She has been brought on board to advance the journalism senior semester. Her goal is to make our students as prepared as possible making them the best choice in today’s competitive job market. Before coming to USC, Dr. Gump was the professional in residence for Middle Tennessee State’s School of Journalism. At Ohio University, she created EditTeach.org, which is a resource for editing students, professors and professionals. Dr. Gump has held jobs with many newspapers and is a member of many professional organizations. Dr. Gump received her Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill and her bachelor’s degree from the University of Kansas. Dr. Gump said she came to USC because she respects what the faculty is doing here and because it gives her the opportunity to work with South Carolina students. When she is not teaching or researching, Dr. Gump enjoys scuba diving and growing hibiscus trees.
Tara Buehner Tara Buehner joins the School of Journalism and Mass Communications as an instructor in the visual communication track. Buehner previously taught at the University of Oklahoma. She received her master’s degree, as a Ward Neff Fellow, from the University of South Dakota and received her bachelor’s degree from Black Hills University. When Buehner is finished with her Ph.D. from the University of Oklahoma she will be an assistant professor in the school. She came to USC because of the unique opportunity to a part of a visual communications program with a journalism focus. When she is not in the classroom, she enjoys anything that involves the outdoors, including hiking, rollerblading and fishing.
Dr. Dick Kawooya Dr. Kawooya joins the School of Library and Information Science as an assistant professor, from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He teaches graduate and undergraduate courses in research methodology, policy and law, economics of information, and information literacy. Dr. Kawooya has collaborated with fellow SLIS faculty member Dr. Kendra Albright on HIV/AIDS research. He first joined the project as a research assistant but became a partner in the research over time. The research focused on how biomedical research on HIV/AIDS is communicated to HIV/AIDS organizations throughout Uganda and how that communication can be made more effective. Dr. Kawooya received his Ph.D. in Communication and Information from the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. His research focused on Ugandan traditional musicians’ construction of ownership. When Dr. Kawooya is not in the classroom or researching he enjoys spending time with his wife, Betty, and two children, Gabriella and Michael. Please read more about Dr. Kawooya on page 21.
Dr. Jingjing Liu Dr. Liu joins the School of Library and Information Science as an assistant professor. She teaches courses in information literacy and technology, and information organization and retrieval. Dr. Liu received her Ph.D. in Information Science from Rutgers University. Her research is focused on the design and evaluation of information systems that support information seeking and work task accomplishment. Dr. Liu first came to the United States 10 years ago, from Shandong Province in China, to pursue her master’s degree from the University of Mississippi in library and information science. She came to USC because she felt her background fit in well with the program. She also found Dr. Hastings, the director of SLIS, and the other faculty to be very helpful and supportive. Please read more about Dr. Liu on page 21.

A film by Denise McGill & Dr. Buzz Kloot
Discover St. Helena Island Filmmakers spent a year on St. Helena Island, S.C., recording farmers and shermen who keep their Gullah/Geechee traditions. This documentary addresses the clash of land conservation, traditional culture and modern development. Join us as we explore the agriculture and community of the Gullah people on South Carolina’s coast. Gullah farming traditions are in danger of getting taken away by development. Will the Gullah people pass on their traditions successfully to their children? Or will it be lost forever? Find out as we discover St. Helena Island. Get Involved
St. Helena is a magical place on the South Carolina Coastline. African Americans have farmed and fished here for centuries: first as a plantation slaves, then as freedmen owning small subsistence operations. It’s now one of the last farming communities on the East Coast that hasn’t been swallowed up by development. But the Gullah/Geechee traditions of these landowners are in danger.
My design
Can the residents pass their heritage on to another generation? Or will the pristine qualities of the land and water be lost forever?
