Experience More

O ver the last eight months, Student Activities and Civic Engagement, Leadership and Service

have undergone a reorganization to become the Office of Student Involvement. We are excited about this change as it benefits UofL students by centralizing the hub of student involvement on campus. Over the next few months, we will be rolling out the new name, new web site and new image. The mission of Student Involvement is to foster engagement in student–led programs and services that enrich the education experience by maximizing the capacity of students to learn, serve and lead. Areas that make up the department include: Fraternity and Sorority Life, Recognized Student Organizations, Student Leadership, Community Service, Student Activities Board, Engage Lead Serve Board, SAC Operations, Red Barn Programming, Conference Services, and Off-Campus Student Services. The new website is coming soon: http://louisville.edu/studentinvolvement. For more information contact the Office of Student Involvement at 852-6691.

ACC Student Leadership Symposium

SKnecht pencer Scruggs, Monali Haldankar, Adam and Travone Taylor were part of UofL’s

first visit to the ACC Student Leadership Symposium at Boston College, April 5-7, 2013, along with Pam Curtis, who served as advisor on the trip. They were welcomed with open arms and our students fit in right away. The ACC Student Leadership Symposium (ACCSLS) mission is to develop a community of ACC undergraduate students who understand the relationship between global and local issues and work to create innovative initiatives that advance students’ capacity for global leadership. Each year the host school selects a theme for the conference around the Social Change Model. This year’s theme was Civic Engagement. Our students made meaningful connections with students from several other ACC schools as they worked in teams over the weekend to design a response to a social issue about which they were passionate. Our own, Tra Taylor’s team won the competition with a great presentation about the issue of equity. Our students had an amazing experience overall and will help recruit attendees for next year’s symposium at the University of Miami on February 21–23.

Kentucky’s Operation Immersion 2013

Astaffprilmembers 9–12, 2013, three UofL Student Affairs (SA) – Ms. Colleen Gettys (from the

Disability Resource Center), and Dr. Terri White and Ms. Michelle Pinckney (from the Counseling Center) – were immersed for 72 hours in military culture and the deployment experience at the Wendell H. Ford Regional Training Center in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky. Co-sponsored by the Kentucky Division of Behavioral Health and the Kentucky National Guard, Colleen, Michelle and Terri experienced life as “boots on the ground” soldiers. The event is designed for people who work with veterans, to bridge the gap between the military and civilian world. These SA staff members attended morning presentations on topics including military culture, sexual assault prevention, combat stress, and soldier deployment issues. Afternoons were filled with learning how to march, team building obstacle courses, virtual simulator convoy missions, weapons training, humvee rollover training and yes…a combat mission…paintball war against soldiers. Colleen, Michelle, and Terri wore body armor throughout the event, slept in barracks, ate military food, and survived physical training at 5:30 AM in the dark Kentucky hills. All three staff members received “Challenge Coins” at the end of the experience. Challenge coins are presented to soldiers for extraordinary efforts accomplished in a single day. Terri received a “Purple Heart Certificate” for being one of four overall participants who “lost blood” during the

“combat mission.” Lesson learned – soldiers are good shots and paintballs can cause blood loss! Colleen: “I couldn’t have been more pleased with this experience. Before taking part in Operation Immersion, I knew very little about military culture. After observing and living that culture for 72 hours, my knowledge has greatly increased, and I am inspired to learn more. The presentations, panels, and activities have given me a greater appreciation for the physical and emotional challenges faced by our military and veterans. I believe the experience has given me a “foot-in-the-door” to have more meaningful interactions with these men and women. I am grateful for the patience, helpfulness, and openness shown to me by the individuals at this program, and I intend to pay it forward.” Michelle: “Being the daughter of a retired United States Army Veteran, I have always had the utmost respect and appreciation for the military. Growing up, I may not have always understood what he did for a living, but I always felt that what he did must have been pretty important. After going through this invaluable experience, my understanding & gratitude for the military has increased exponentially!! I enjoyed every minute of it…even the early morning PT session. My Dad even sounded pretty impressed that I went through this experience. As I spoke to him about it, I expressed how grateful I was that he never had to go to war. He stated that although

he was never deployed, it would have been an honor for him to lead his soldiers in battle. To all the service men & women out there, past, present and future…Thank You!!! May God bless you & your families!!!”

Terri: “Being a military brat, I believed I had a fundamental understanding of military life. I knew the language, the culture, expectations, etc. This experience has provided me an entirely new and deeper respect for our service women and men. I cannot count the number of times I wanted to ‘quit’ and play the “civilian card.” I know my father would be proud of my “combat scar.” I won’t just thank military personal for their service anymore – hugs all around. God bless all that have, are, and will serve this country.”

ProDevo Committee A Success

LLifeastOffice summer, the Housing and Residence formed a committee to address the

professional development needs of staff members. Each month, the ProDevo Committee selects a speaker to lead discussions on a topic of interest. One recent speaker was Sam Connally, VP for Human Resources, who spoke about the “next steps” in a person’s career. The committee also distributes monthly articles on a variety of topics including everything from best practices programs to investment and tax saving strategies. Additionally, the ProDevo Committee helped to create the first-ever Mentor/ Mentee program within the department. Thanks to Ashley Hazen, Mohammad Hussain, Taylor U’Sellis, and Bryan Shelangoski for making the ProDevo Committee a success! 2

Harold Adams Award 2013

D uring the annual Student Awards Ceremony on April 18th, Michelle Clemons, UofL graduate,

former Assistant Dean of Students, and current retiree, received the Harold Adams Award “for enhancing the quality of student life at the University of Louisville.” The award is a memorial tribute to Harold “Butch” Adams, a 1963 UofL graduate and much admired former Assistant Vice President for Student Life, and is given to individuals who best exemplify the qualities and spirit Harold Adams exemplified. Michelle was nominated by numerous people who wrote in support of her selection for the award. Here are what some of them had to say: “I have the highest admiration for Michelle Clemons. I have benefited greatly from her expertise, her insight, and most of all her inspiring ability to empower women to live independent and fulfilling lives. She cultivates respect and understanding. She promotes gender equity and challenges each of us to expand our world view.” “Her ability to inject student learning and opportunities for positive outcomes into difficult discipline cases is extraordinary. She embodies the characteristics of the Student Affairs professional and is most deserving of the Harold Adams Award.” “Michelle has taken a strong leadership position on the issues of violence against women. Without her expertise, her ability to work with women of any background, her ability to lend her voice to those who cannot speak up, and her own personal commitment to ending

violence, many women would never have heard that help was available and would never have found resources to end the violence in their lives and continue their education.” And, finally, “On EVERY occasion that I initiated assistance from Ms. Clemons for a student, her response and support was immediate. Ms. Clemons’ dedication to the UofL student population, their empowerment, their growth and development was unmatched.” We all think she is pretty special, too. Congratulations, Michelle!

Staff Get Lessons in Humor

TRetreat he annual Student Affairs Classified Staff was held on Friday, May 24th at the

Cardinal Hall of Fame Café. The theme of the retreat this year was “Humor, Life’s Best Medicine.” Once again, we had good food, door prizes, time to laugh, time to learn and time to relax. This year our speakers were Matthew Jablow, former Comedian, who had

a wonderful power point presentation on “Humor in the Office” as well as some awesome comedy to go along with that, and Benjamin M. Rigor, M.D., LL.D. who spoke on “Humor: It’s Good Medicine,” and in what ways laughter enhances our health. Dr. Rigor incorporated his own comedy as he spoke. The staff members left with new ideas, rejuvenated, relaxed and

ready to share their positive experience with co-workers. A big thanks

to our speakers, the PDC, Karen Zody, Tanisha Allen and all the Classified Staff that attended. Staff are looking forward to next year’s retreat.

Emotional Intelligence and Breathing

LCenter) ast April, Juan Pablo Kalawski, PhD (Counseling was invited to Puebla, Mexico to do an

introductory workshop on an Alba Emoting™. Alba EmotingTM is a physical method to help recognize, induce, express and regulate the basic emotions. This is achieved through specific breathing, postural and facial behaviors. Alpha Emoting is based on psychophysiological research by Susana Bloch and her collaborators, who have applied this method mainly to train actors. Alba Emoting can be used in psychotherapy to facilitate emotion awareness, regulation and transformation. It also can help therapists better recognize their own and their clients’ emotions. Juan Pablo enjoyed

his opportunity to give this workshop: “I always find it an honor to help people work with their emotions. It’s such an intimate part of each of us. I also had never been to Mexico before and loved visiting Puebla. It’s a beautiful, old city with great food. The participants found the experience very enriching and asked me to come back soon to give them additional training. I hope I can return to Mexico soon.” You can find more information about Alba Emoting here: http:// www.albaemoting.cl/english-2/ and here: http:// onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cpp.790/ abstract.

Improve Your Golf Game!

Rcourt ecent plans have re-purposed a racquetball in the new Student Recreation Center

into a golf center. The golf simulator will enable participants to play any of 85 different courses around the world in live action. Participants use actual clubs and real golf balls to play the courses using a high definition screen. The system uses a series of sensors in the floor to instantly calculate the distance, height and curvature of the shot and display in as if it were actually happening on the real hole. Student groups are very excited about the addition of the simulator. Only a handful of campuses across the nation have them.

“Before I die, I want to...”

T“Before he Engage, Lead, Serve Board hosted its I die, I want to...” event on April 11, 2013. The student-led group was responsible for

Tradition in Student Affairs

High Fives!

H arold Adams’ relationship with the University of Louisville spanned nearly 30 years

C ongratulations to the following people for receiving

and encompassed most of his college and professional life. He was a distinguished alumnus, a respected coach and one of the University’s best-loved administrators. An athletic scholarship launched his involvement with UofL in 1958. He went on to earn degrees in history, education and law, and in 1962, began serving as assistant basketball and head baseball coach for the University. Adams accepted his first administrative post in 1966 as Director of Housing, a position he held for two years. In 1970, he was appointed Associate Dean of Students, and in 1976, was promoted to Assistant Vice President of Student Affairs. Harold was best known for helping students on a one on one basis. The word spread quickly that, if you needed help at UofL, Harold was the person to see. Harold died in 1986 after many years of service to the University of Louisville. The Harold Adams endowment was started in 1987 and currently funds 5 partial tuition scholarships to first-year students from Henry County. The “Straight from the Heart” fund was established in 1987 to acknowledge Harold’s longtime commitment to helping students. The fund has assisted hundreds of students over the years with buying books, school supplies and small grants that helps them pay bills so they can stay in school. Each year the Harold Adams award is presented to a university faculty or staff member who best exemplifies the qualities and spirit Harold Adams exemplified. (See article on page 3.) The annual award, the scholarships, and the Straight From the Heart Fund are the ways we in Student Affairs continue Harold’s legacy of helping students.
