FALL 2006

Dear Members of the SCS Community:

We have celebrated some monumental anniversaries during my tenure as dean–the School’s 40th anniversary in 2002 and my 10th in 2005–but the excitement generated by the birth of the non-credit program, Think Again, has proved to be a defining moment in our development and so clearly exemplifies our mission: To Enrich Lives and Careers.

I want to particularly acknowledge the efforts of Dr. Patricia Johnson Brown for her original concept for both the program and its implementation. Dr. Brown arrived on campus as associate dean in 1995 specifically to develop a non-credit curriculum that would mirror our successful evening school credit programs, with an emphasis on the liberal arts.

Special Thanks

From an initial offering of 12 courses that enrolled 72 participants, the program has grown to hundreds of offerings with more than 5,000 enrollments annually. Our creative and diligent staff has expanded the programming to fall, spring and summer editions, under the auspices of the Office of Community and Professional Education, directed

by Pam Johnson.

As we celebrate the 10th anniversary of Think Again and our non-credit programs, we’d like to give special thanks to Dr. Patricia Johnson Brown, Associate Dean, for her original concept for both the program and its implementation.

The publication has brought enormous recognition to the School and to the University, for which we are grateful. But, most importantly, Think Again provides learners of all ages with an opportunity to engage in the continuous pursuit of learning.

Please join me in this celebration year, with special events on October 7 for the entire community. On behalf of the faculty and staff, we want to thank you for your generous and committed support, and we look forward to your participation during the next decade. And, special thanks to Pat, Pam and the staff of OCPE for their devotion to this awardwinning program that has become such an integral part of the School of Continuing Studies.

Sincerely,

James L. Narduzzi, Ph.D. Dean

Voice-overs are hot today! You don’t have to be an actor to get voice-over work, but it certainly doesn’t hurt.

Dark Side of the Screen Revisited: New-Noir

Fundamentals of Investing

NEW! Film noir generally refers to the mystery/crime dramas produced from the mid-1940s to the late 1950s.

Neo-noir refers to crime dramas and mysteries produced from the late 1950s to present, that, while they are generally shot in color and do not always emulate the visual style of classic film noir, often borrow themes, archetypes, and plots made famous by the earlier films.

During each meeting of this eight-week class, a complete film will be shown, followed by a discussion of the themes, acting, cinema style, and historical significance of the film. Possible film titles include: Klue, Blue Velvet, The Hot Spot, Palmetto, The Last Seduction, Lost Highway, Pulp Fiction, Devil in a Blue Dress, Seven, and The Usual Suspects.

Drawing Expressively from Botanical Subjects

The Grand Saga of the Monarch Butterfly

After a brief survey of artists who have made use of botanical imagery, try your hand at using botanical subject matter to explore the expressive possibilities of mixed media on paper. Previous drawing experience is helpful but not necessary. Some supplies are provided and additional materials will be suggested in the first class. Please note: this class does not address botanical illustration; some techniques introduced in the class are messy.

Every fall, residents of the United States and Canada marvel at the annual migration of colorful Monarch butterflies—but where are they going? Professor Lincoln P. Brower and his graduate students at Sweet Briar College know; they have conducted research at the overwintering sites of this butterfly in the central highlands of Mexico since 1977. Learn how some researchers think monarchs find their way to Mexico, and how the high altitude rain forest serves as blanket, umbrella, and hot water bottle for millions of monarchs.

Dr. Brower will examine threats to this fragile migration cycle, from forest exploitation to the devasting 2002 storm in central Mexico that killed a quarter of a billion monarchs, and will share promising conservation initiatives by the World Wildlife Fund of Mexico, and by the US, Canadian, and Mexican governments.

Course fee includes admission to the Garden.

As a special touch, students from Crestwood Elementary School, a Monarch Watch school, will join us for their charming and touching “Monarch Dance”!

The discovery of his tomb in the 1920’s electrified the world, and tomb objects coming to America in the 1970s drew record crowds. Join us as we look at the life and times of King Tut... and the objects that are again touring the U.S.!

Ruler of Egypt during the peak of its power and importance, a period of controversy and artistic supremacy, the “Boy King” Tutankhamon died unexpectedly at a young age.

Almost completely eliminated from the ancient records, Tut roared back into prominence when his nearly-intact tomb was uncovered. Never-before-seen artifacts, “The Curse” and possible murder have captivated the popular imagination ever since. Led by award-winning archaeologist and ancient historian Ken Ostrand, we’ll look into the tomb over the shoulder of its discoverer, examine the artifacts and investigate some of the mysteries of the Boy King. Along with PowerPoint slides and handouts, Dr. Ostrand’s course is both useful as a primer on ancient Egypt and as a background for the King Tut exhibit in Philadelphia.

Continuing Education Units Some courses in this catalog qualify for CEUs (Continuing Education Units). CEUs are a way of measuring and officially recognizing the time and effort you have put into your education for your job or profession.

The Office of the University Registrar will maintain a record of your CEUs and provide you with a transcript upon request.

So, what do you do with a CEU? As you update your credentials, are in line for a transfer, promotion or evaluation of your current position, or want to make a vocational change or explore a new career, the CEUs demonstrate the time, energy and interest you have shown in broadening your horizons.

Registration Deadlines It is extremely important that you register at least one week prior to the start of the course.

Registration deadlines have been put in place to allow for an accurate enrollment count needed for planning classroom needs, course materials, and food or travel logistics related to the class.
