New Sushi Roll Named After UT A new “Spartan Roll” will debut at Kona Grill, near International Plaza, at an event on Thursday, Nov. 11, from 6-10 p.m. While the contents of the new Spartan Roll remain a closely guarded secret, it is known that Kona Grill will donate a portion of the proceeds of each Spartan Roll to the entrepreneurship program, and will work closely with students in the program. “We’re excited to partner with Kona Grill in a way that benefits the University and our entrepreneurship program, and which is clever and appetizing,” said Frank Ghannadian, dean of the UT Sykes College of Business. “We hope the Spartan Roll will become Tampa’s most popular sushi roll.” More information and tickets to the event may be obtained by e-mailing tickets@konagrill.com.

Sykes Chapel to Be Dedicated Dec. 10

he Sykes Chapel and Center for Faith and Values will be dedicated on Friday, Dec. 10, at 2 p.m. The dedication will open with trumpet fanfare and guests will be able to tour the new building and hear the first performance on the Dobson pipe organ. Speakers will include Eugene H. McNichols, chair of the Board of Trustees; President Ronald L. Vaughn and Stephanie Russell Holz, assistant dean of students and director of the Office of Student Leadership and Engagement. John H. Sykes, chair emeritus of the Board of Trustees, will give the dedication address. Although the planning began years earlier, construction of the chapel began in October 2008. John H. and Susan Sykes gave a multi-million dollar lead gift for the unique center that will help shape students’ lives. The chapel, along with programming by the Resource Team for Faith, Values and Spirituality, is intended to enhance the character of UT’s students, contributing to the education of the “whole student.” “Having such a beautiful facility in the heart of campus reminds everyone that a full existence has multiple components — intellectual, emotional, physical and spiritual,” said Joseph Sclafani, professor of psychology and Resource Team member.

Prof Challenges Conventional Stretching Wisdom

t seems counterintuitive that stretching before a run could hurt performance. But that’s just what Jacob Wilson, assistant professor of exercise and sport studies found in his research. “You have so many people, whether they’re recreationally training, or they’re athletes, who stretch before they run,” he said. “It’s really common. I wanted to see what that does to performance.” Wilson looked at the effect of stretching before a run and found that those who didn’t stretch before running ran farther and were more efficient, meaning they expended fewer calories.

Stay Lucky The Lucky campaign for November reminds students to look both ways before they cross the street ... and not be distracted by their many devices.

In the study 10 runners did the same run on two separate days. The Jacob Wilson hour-long run was divided into two parts, the first to measure caloric expenditure and the second to assess endurance. Participants stretched before one of the runs, and sat quietly before the other run. In the first half of each run, participants kept a steady pace, and researchers found those who stretched before the workout burned 5 percent more calories. For the second half, runners ran as far as they could for 30 minutes. The runners who didn’t stretch went 3.4 percent farther. That’s because muscles and tendons store and release elastic energy when they’re stiff. Just like a rubber band, tendons release energy when they are let go. If they are stretched out, the stiffness, or tension, is lessened, and they have less energy to release. It’s not bad to stretch, and stretching every day can be good for muscle strength, but Wilson said he wouldn’t recommend it for performance sake. “If you’re going to stretch, do it after the workout,” he says.

Education Professors Impact Community

hen observing students in the Palma Ceia Presbyterian Preschool classroom, it’s hard to tell which students have learning disabilities and which do not. That’s exactly how it should be, said Patricia O’Grady, assistant professor of education. She visited the South Tampa school as a consultant along with Hunter O’Hara, professor of education. Palma Ceia Presbyterian Preschool was started in 1979 as a pioneer in the field of inclusive special needs education. The school serves about 120 students ages 1 to 4, a minority of who have special needs. “All of the things we are teaching our students to do, they are doing there,” said O’Hara. “It speaks to one teacher’s profound vision and commitment to meeting the needs of children no matter what their needs might be.” O’Hara and O’Grady were asked by the school to provide guidance on how to grow the pre-school program. The school was bound by a small space in a neighborhood location, increasing needs from interested families and long wait-lists for classrooms that are at full capacity. O’Grady and O’Hara completed a comprehensive study on the possibilities for the school in fall 2009. The school returned to O’Grady and O’Hara for more advice when prekindergarten for 4-year-olds was eliminated by the school district.

Goodbye!

The following year the school administrators expanded the prekindergarten program, and in the fall of 2010 they welcomed 17 new 4-year-olds to the Palma Ceia school.

Hello!

Hunter O’Hara and Patricia O’Grady lent their consulting services to the Palma Ceia Presbyterian Preschool.

Last year O’Grady was invited to give a presentation at the National Association of Early Childhood Teacher Educators national conference in Washington, D.C., regarding the research methods the two employed during the Palma Ceia consultation. “We suggested that when other early childhood programs are finding conflict, this exploratory method of problem solving is a model for early childhood education,” O’Grady said. “You facilitate this problem solving, the process. It hasn’t been applied to pre-school programs in any widespread way before.” O’Grady and O’Hara are in the process of publishing an academic paper on this work.

COB Named One of the World’s Top Business Schools For the fifth year in a row, the John H. Sykes College of Business has been named an outstanding business school by The Princeton Review — and recognized as one of the 300 best business schools in the world. The Princeton Review features the school in its 2011 edition of “The Best 300 Business Schools.” The Princeton Review compiled the list based on evaluations of schools’ academic excellence and surveys of students during the 2009-2010, 20082009, and 2007-2008 academic years. In the UT write-up, students are quoted as saying that “the academic experience is excellent…The University of Tampa does an excellent job preparing you for the business world.”

Stroll Back in Time

A Roaring Good Time — The Henry B. Plant Museum hosted a Great Gatsby Party on Oct. 1 as a fundraiser. Guests whispered a password to enter the speakeasy in Fletcher Lounge, where they enjoyed live music, games of chance and a menu recreated from the 1920s Tampa Bay Hotel. There was a vintage Rolls Royce outside for photo opps, and many people dressed in 1950s garb, including (from left) President Vaughn and his wife Renée, Suzanne Hiebert and Brian Garman, associate professor of mathematics. The event raised $30,000 for the museum.

Experience an old-fashioned holiday with your loved ones at Henry B. Plant Museum’s 29th annual Victorian Christmas Stroll from Dec. 1-23, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. The extravagantly adorned former Tampa Bay Hotel will capture the spirit of the season – Victorian style. The 14 exhibit rooms will dazzle with trimmed trees uniquely designed in 19th century themes and antique holiday accessories. While strolling down the Grand Hallway, your spirits will soar as you become immersed in carolers singing, Charles Dickens, much loved toys and wrapped gifts, Christmas stockings and Old Saint Nick. Unique to this year is a game for children and the young at heart: “Where’s Henry?” Somewhere amid the myriad of decorations is an image of Henry Plant. Children will be entertained searching for Henry, the founder of the hotel, strategically placed in each exhibit room. They will be given a checklist and if they can locate his image in every room, they will receive a prize. Santa Claus will come to the stroll on Wednesday, Dec. 23 from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Admission is free for UT employees and $12 for adults, $10 seniors and $6 youths (4-18years).

Bookstore Gets a New Look

his fall the UT bookstore is receiving a makeover. The bookstore is being renovated with the help of a design team from Barnes & Noble. The renovation includes upgrades to the main part of the store to achieve a look and feel that represents the University’s quality and sprit. The new look incorporates school colors and campus imagery; new fixtures and window displays, along with partial flooring and lighting upgrades, to create a more exciting shopping environment. Changes are being made to the layout, to reduce time waiting in line, especially for the Bookstore’s rush, refunds and checkout services. In addition, each area of the bookstore was evaluated to create a clean and organized environment for the customers.

UT Ranked for Athletics and Academics was ranked 21st among NCAA Division II universities in the annual National Collegiate Scouting Association’s Collegiate Power Rankings. The Power Rankings were developed to help prospective student athletes and their families evaluate the particular strengths of the top colleges and universities at the Division I, II and III levels. The rankings take into account both athletic and academic achievements, such as the graduation rate for student athletes and the U.S. News and World Report ranking. Just this past weekend, UT’s athletics program captured four Sunshine State Conference championships in a two-day span. The women’s cross country team finished first on Saturday at the 2010 SSC Championships in Melbourne. Later in the day, the volleyball team clinched the SSC regular season title with a win at Lynn. On Sunday, both the men’s and women’s soccer teams defeated Florida Tech in overtime to win their respective SSC Tournament championships. The cross country and soccer teams are both headed for the NCAA tournaments as the volleyball team returns home to host Nova Southeastern and Barry this weekend at the Bob Martinez Sports Center. Challenging Minds and Bodies — More than 400 runners came out for the Spartan Challenge 5K on Oct. 16. Heather Trubee, curator of education for the Henry B. Plant Museum, was the first female faculty/staff member to finish, with a time of 29:39. Jody Tompson, associate professor of management and entrepreneurship; was the first male faculty/ staff member to finish, with a time of 23:20. The race included obstacles like hay bales and was a fundraiser for the UT cross country team.

New Director Has Secrets to Success

orie Kittendorf joined UT in October as its director of student success. Since the position is new, it is still evolving, but Kittendorf envisions working with departments to coordinate retention efforts and working one-on-one with students who are struggling with the transition to college life. She has experience as an administrator in both academic affairs and student affairs, and she has taught college students as well, which has given her insight into the challenges that both faculty and students face.

parent can guide the student to the right campus resources who can assist the student. We want parents to give the students the confidence to navigate their college experience on their own, without the parent doing it for them. It’s just as much a transition for the parents as it is for the students.

What advice do you have for working with “millennial” students?

How can people at the University work together to improve student success?

Millennial students need a lot of feedback on their performance. They seem to be more successful when there are multiple small graded assignments, in addition to major assignments, especially prior to midterm, to give them a sense of whether they understand the syllabus, text and lectures. They prefer interactive instruction, with discussions and small group activities. They need detailed instructions. The more information you can provide in a syllabus regarding assignments, the better. They can be extremely creative, but they prefer to do it within the boundaries of a highly structured assignment. Give them a rubric for how their assignment grades will be determined and you’ll generally discover happier, less stressed students. What strategies do you have for dealing with “helicopter parents”?

I think the one thing that everyone at Lorie Kittendorf the University needs to realize is helping students persist to graduation is the responsibility of every faculty and staff member on campus. Every interaction you have with a student, positive or negative, will tip their scale toward staying at UT, transferring to another institution or dropping out altogether. You never know the full story of what is occurring in someone’s life, so one negative interaction could be their breaking point. Take the extra step, make the extra call, have the extra conversation to help that student get the information they need, as you never know who that student will become in the future. You could be making the extra effort for the student who will one day become the doctor who makes the extra effort to save your life!

Parents want what is best for their students and most have been active participants in their child’s K-12 education. It’s unrealistic to think that they will suddenly “cut the cord” and not be involved … and we don’t want that! Parental involvement is important during that first year of transition as the parent is often who the student will first reach out to when faced with a challenge. If we provide the proper tools, then the

When I’m not working on my dissertation, I spend all my free time with my 3-year-old daughter, Olivia. We love to go to Disney, the aquarium and shopping. I also enjoy photography, and am actively involved with a professional association called the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators (NASPA).
