FACULT Y SPOTLIGHT: RICHARD CALL AHAN Richard Callahan, Chair of the Department of Public and Nonprofit Administration, has been awarded a $22,000 grant from the Sierra Health Foundation to serve as co-director of the foundation’s upcoming Leadership Program. The award is part of a $160,000 grant and will enable Callahan to design, direct, and deliver the program with Dr. Kenneth Kizer, director of the Institute for Population Health Improvement and professor in the Medical School of the University of California, Davis. The Sierra Health Foundation Leadership Program is scheduled to run 12 days over six months, and will be provided to 20 established and emerging nonprofit health leaders. The program will focus on improving health access and health equity in the 26-county Northern California region served by the Sierra Health Foundation. USF Dean of the School of Nursing and Health Professions Judy Karshmer is scheduled to be one of the expert leadership presenters. According to Callahan, “This is a great partnership between the leadership of the Sierra Health Foundation, Dr. Kizer, and USF, to increase health access to underserved communities and to address health disparities.”
The Leadership Program will draw on Callahan’s more than 10 years of experience in delivering and designing programs for the Sierra Health Foundation, and Dr. Kizer’s experience as undersecretary of the Veterans Health Administration during President Clinton’s first term, and as founder and CEO of the National Quality Forum, a consensus-standards setting agency. The program is intended to develop the skills of current and emerging nonprofit and public-sector leaders in community health, including but not limited to community health clinics, youth development, drug and alcohol dependency treatment and prevention, public health, health coverage outreach, health systems, and job training. Participating leaders will build organizational capacity and policy change to address health disparities through sessions focused on three main components: successful models, research-based leadership practices, and consistent and structured coaching, mentoring, and advising. “The Sierra Health Foundation Leadership Program goals of increasing health care access and improving health equity align strongly with the USF mission and Ignatian values,” adds Callahan.
EMERITUS ACHIEVEMENTS Professor Emeritus Art Karshmer was presented the seventh Roland Wagner Award at the 15th International Conference on Computers Helping People with Special Needs (ICCHP) for his work with blind people. The Roland Wagner Award is given out bi-annually to individuals or organizations that have had an impressive impact on the lives of people with disabilities, and honors a recipient’s career-long body of work and contributions to society. Karshmer has spent his career researching how to help blind people master mathematics by using computer-based tools, which he develops with his research group. He has written extensively on the topic of Ambient Assisted Living (AAL), a critical software application that enables those with specific needs to live in their preferred environment. His software demonstrates how technology can empower the specially abled. The award ceremony took place in Paris this summer and was a big surprise to Karshmer, who in previous years has been active on the Award Nomination Committee at ICCHP conferences. Professor Emeritus Steven Alter has won the 2013 Best Paper Award from the Journal of the Association for Information Systems (JAIS). His paper, “Work System Theory: Overview of Core Concepts, Extensions, and Challenges for the Future,” was selected as the best paper out of all paper submissions and publications received by JAIS in 2013. Alter’s paper presents a current, accessible, and overarching view of Work System Theory (WST), which is the core of an integrated body of
3 FALL 2014
theory that emerged from a long-term research project to develop a systems analysis and design method for business professionals, the work-system method. The paper includes an evaluation of progress to date, new directions for WST research, and implications for the information systems discipline. JAIS is the flagship journal of the Association for Information Systems (AIS), and seeks to publish the highest quality scholarship in the field of information systems. The AIS has long accredited USF’s Master of Science in Information Systems program, where Alter has served on the faculty. In addition to the award, Alter has had a busy 2014. He published “The Concept of ‘IT Artifact’ has Outlived its Usefulness and Should be Retired Now” in Information System Journal (online, Sept. 2014) as well as six papers in conference proceedings, including “Knowledge-Supported Design Thinking about Systems in Organizations: An Application of Work System Theory” in DTBIS 2014: Workshop on Design Thinking in Business Information Systems (Tel Aviv, Israel, June); “Engineering Enterprises for Emergent Change” in IEEE Conference on Business Informatics (Geneva, Switzerland, July); and “Potentially Valuable Overlaps between Work System Theory, DEMO, and Enterprise Engineering” in WEETM 2014: 1st Workshop on Enterprise Engineering Theories and Methods (Geneva, Switzerland, July).
