Cobden students travel around the world at culture night MARILYN HALSTEAD THE SOUTHERN
COBDEN – Students at Cobden Elementary School took a trip around the world during the school’s first Culture Night, which was April 4. “We wanted the children to become more culturally aware and celebrate their heritage, as well as the heritage of others around the world,” Miriam Uribe, English as a second language teacher, said. The event featured nine different countries from around the world. Each grade, including Pre-K, chose a country. “Each student gets a passport, and they can travel around the world,” Uribe said. In addition to displays, videos, music, games and demonstrations, a snack from each country was served to visitors in each classroom, such as spumoni (Italy), seaweed and tea (Korea), eclairs (France) and scones (Ireland).

Henson shares expertise with students and community Although nearly 2,000 miles away, the recent earthquake and aftershocks in Los Angeles serve as reminders that our proximity to the New Madrid and Wabash Valley fault lines means we also are at risk. The message from Harvey Henson, Jr., assistant dean of our College of Science and geophysicist, is that while we can’t predict earthquakes, we can be ready for them. “We shouldn’t be worried,” he said. “We should be prepared.” An Indiana native, Harvey came here for a research assistantship in geology in 1985. He was a research project specialist in the geology department from 1990 to 2008, and he has been a geology instructor since 2001. Harvey has been sharing his expertise in earthquake seismology with local officials, emergency responders, and school and community groups for more than 20 years. In addition, working with a colleague at Oklahoma University, he has received a number of grants from the state and federal emergency management agencies in recent years that
have funded public service announcements and the DVD, “Suddenly on an Average Day.” He is happy to provide the DVD to individuals and groups; you can e-mail him at henson@cos.siu.edu Thanks to a new $230,000 grant, Harvey and his colleague will expand the outreach effort with more public service announcements and educational DVDs. “We want to help people learn how to do the things they need to do to be prepared,” Harvey said. “We know it’s a good idea to strap your water heater to the wall. But nobody shows you how to do that. That’s an example of what we want to accomplish with these videos.” In addition to his ongoing earthquake research and outreach, Harvey serves as assistant dean for recruitment, retention and outreach in the College of Science. His passion for the

he said. “As a research university, we give students an opportunity to learn by doing.” I know how hard Harvey and his colleagues have been working at student recruitment, and See SIU / Page 2b

enrollment in the college has been growing. In fact, it is up 27 percent over the past five years. That’s important for our university, and for our nation, because of the need for more STEM professionals. Harvey looks forward to participating in our open houses and other recruitment efforts because he enjoys the interaction with prospective students and their families. But, as he has told me, he also recognizes, “I’m the old guy. It’s the parents who want to talk with me.” So over the past five years, he has put a priority on building and mentoring the Saluki
Science Ambassadors, science majors who can share their Saluki experiences with prospective students. “When we created that group, we had 14 students,” Harvey said. “We now have more than 300 ambassadors, and it is the largest student organization in the College of Science.” I appreciate Harvey’s commitment, and that of faculty and staff throughout the university, to our students and to this region that we all call home.

display of Celtic knots and animals. Miller made Irish scones to serve, and Genung’s husband, Brad, told Irish stories. “It seems like it’s engaging a lot of people.

University fashion show set for April 24 at Student Center CARBONDALE — The annual student showcase and runway fashion show presented by seniors in SIUC’s Fashion Design and Merchandising program will help shake off these late winter doldrums. Nine student designers, including one male student, are working feverishly on their ensembles of clothing for young women and men for the runway fashion show, which starts at 7 p.m. April 24 in Student Center Ballroom D. Admission is free and the public is welcome. The evening starts at 6 p.m. in the Student Ce n te r ’s J.W. Co rke r Lounger with juniorand senior-level fashion design students showing original garments they created. Exhibits include experimental design garments and student projects from a variety of classes including fashion illustration and fashion styling. One exhibit features a brand development collaboration project that will show the creative talents of fashion merchandising students, fashion designers, fashion stylists and interior design students. The exhibits can be viewed until 7 p.m. The runway fashion show will begin with the “2014 Red and Black
Collection,” presenting original cocktail dresses in signature red and black colors. The featured event is the presentation of nine garment collections from senior fashion designers. The nine student designers are responsible for every detail of their collection, from concept to fashion illustration, fabric sourcing, patterning and construction, model and music selection, and accessory coordination. “The production of these collections is the first step in launching the careers of these young fashion designers.

CASA board members and staff, the judge, attorneys, representatives from social agencies and members of the community will join hands to help raise awareness of child abuse prevention.

In 2013, another 54 cases were added to the mix in Saline County. “If Hands Around the Courthouse inspires even
just one person to speak up for an abused or neglected child, then one child’s life may be saved,” said Trina Irwin, executive director for CASA of Saline County. “CASA is a needed organization. Abused and neglected children need a voice in the court system, and CASA is that voice. Hopefully, concerned citizens will take a moment to come to the courthouse on the 15th to acknowledge the plight of abused and neglected children of Saline County.” For more information about the event or how to become a CASA volunteer, call Irwin at 618-253-3355 or visit salinecocasa@ yahoo.com.

C HAMPAIGN — Five professors at the University of Illinois – Asef Bayat, Joy Harjo, Catherine Prendergast, Stephen Andrew Taylor and Deke Weaver – have been named 2014 Guggenheim Fellows. They are among 178 North American artists, scholars and scientists selected on the basis of achievement and exceptional promise from a pool of almost 3,000 applicants, according to the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation. Bayat is a professor of sociology and the Catherine C. and Bruce A. Bastian Professor in Global and Transnational Studies at Illinois. A native of Iran who taught at the American University in Cairo for 17 years, Bayat specializes in the study of social movements, urban politics and political Islam in the Middle East. His book “Life as Politics: How Ordinary People Change the Middle East,” first published in 2009, in some ways anticipated the popular movements that would bring about the Arab Spring in 2011. Harjo, a member of the Mvskoke Nation of Oklahoma, is a professor of
American Indian studies and of English at Illinois, as well as an awardwinning poet, composer, musician and author. Her teaching and research interests focus on indigenous literature, poetry, music and theater. She has published seven books of poetry and her honors include the William Carlos Williams Award from the Poetry Society of America. She also has released five albums of original music, including “Winding Through the Milky Way,” which in 2009 brought her a Native American Music Award for Best Female Artist of the Year. Prendergast, a professor of English and an affiliate of the Russian, East European and Eurasian Center, researches cultural contested terrain, such as anxieties over the global spread of English, arguments over grammatical correctness and battles over multicultural literacy in the wake of school desegregation. A Fulbright-Hays Research Award supported her work in Slovakia that resulted in her book “Buying Into English: Language and Investment in the Capitalist New World.” Her 2003
monograph, “Literacy and Racial Justice: The Politics of Learning After Brown v. Board of Education,” won numerous awards. Taylor, a professor of music composition and theory, and the director of the Illinois Modern Ensemble, composes music that incorporates both art and science. His first orchestral commission, “Unapproachable Light,” was inspired by images from the Hubble Space Telescope and the New Testament. Weaver, a writer, performer, video artist and new media professor in the School of Art and Design, is best known for “The Unreliable Bestiary,” in which he focuses on one endangered animal species for each letter of the alphabet and develops an interdisciplinary multimedia performance around that animal. The Guggenheim Foundation has awarded fellowships annually for 90 years, and many of the 17,000 fellows have gone on to receive Nobel prizes, Pulitzer prizes, Fields medals and other international honors.
Sunday in the Union County Museum. The reception will be hosted by the Union County Historical and Genealogy Society and the Illinois Humanities Council. Members of the
