Clausen named ULS president
President Sally Clausen is the new president of
the University of Louisiana System, effective July 1, the ULS Board announced
in Baton Rouge on Tuesday, April 10. Dr. Carroll Falcon, ULS Vice President
for Academic Affairs, will serve as acting ULS president through June 30.
Dr. Clausen will continue serving as Southeastern's president until she
assumes the ULS presidency.
"Dr. Clausen is known nationally
as a leader in education. Her work on teacher quality with the American
Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU) will be critical
for our campuses as they prepare tomorrow's teachers. She has a proven
record as an educator, both in the K-12 and higher education systems, and
she has been an effective leader in Louisiana's efforts to reform its education
system," ULS Board Chairman Andre Coudrain said.
Coudrain said the ULS Board
chose Dr. Clausen largely because of her leadership and accomplishments
at Southeastern and her extensive experience in education, including service
as Louisiana's Commissioner of Higher Education. She replaces Bobby
Jindal who resigned after being nominated by President Bush to serve as
Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation in the U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services.
A copy of the University of
Louisiana System's announcement
of Dr. Clausen's appointment is available online.
Virtual career fair now online
Southeastern has joined in sister institutions
in the University of Louisiana System in participating in "Louisiana E-Jobs,"
the system's first electronic job fair.
"Louisiana E-Jobs" links more
than 17,000 ULS students through the Internet to Louisiana-based companies
seeking qualified employees.
Southeastern students and alumni
can participate by accessing the virtual fair through the Louisiana E-Jobs
links, which they will find on the university's main page (www.selu.edu)
and Career Development Services web page (www.selu.edu/Career)
beginning April 17. E-Jobs will be online through May 28.
Sam Domiano, director of Admissions
and Financial Aid and former head of the university's Career Development
Services, said the Louisiana E-Jobs service is free, easy to use and accessible
24 hours a day from any computer connected to the Internet.
"Just click on the logo and
follow the links," Domiano said.
The Louisiana E-Jobs site is
operated by JOBTRAK.COM, which Forbes Magazine has rated the best site
for students and graduates looking for their first jobs or internships.
Participants can browse lists of available jobs as unregistered "guests"
or register with JOBTRAK.COM and put their resume online. An employer does
not have access to a resume unless the participant chooses to submit it
to them, Domiano explained.
Domiano said more than 2,000
letters were mailed to Louisiana employers seeking their participation.
Since March 12, 94 employers have registered for E-Jobs, listing more than
200 job openings. Employers can register until April 17 and can update
job listings throughout the six weeks of the fair.
For additional information about
Louisiana E-Jobs, call Southeastern's Career Development Center at 985-549-2121.
Students with questions about using the service are welcome to come by
the CDC office on the second floor of the War Memorial Student Union for
assistance.
Teacher prep program rated high
Southeastern's teacher preparation program scored
higher than the state average in every category of assessment, according
to institutional report cards released by the Louisiana State Board of
Regents on April 9.
Overall, the university had
an institutional pass rate of 96 percent, compared to the statewide pass
rate of 87 percent, said Martha Head, interim dean of Southeastern's College
of Education and Human Development.
The institutional report card
is a federal mandate in response to the Higher Education Act. As part of
the act, the U.S. Department of Education is requiring all higher education
institutions to submit specific data on teacher preparation programs and
the performance of their students on standardized tests. The state's overall
report card can be found on the Board of Regents web page, www.regents.state.la.us.
The report card indicates that
Southeastern students had a significantly higher pass rate than the state
average in all areas of general assessment. In the areas of professional
knowledge, Southeastern scored 98 percent, compared to the state average
94 percent; in academic content areas, Southeastern had a 97 percent pass
rate, compared to the state's 89 percent rate.
In more specific assessment
areas, Southeastern students achieved a 100 percent pass rate in communication
skills, general knowledge, professional knowledge, education in the elementary
school, biology and general science, and physical education. High scores
were also achieved in principles of learning and teaching for kindergarten
through sixth grade (95 percent, compared to the state average 85 percent),
principles of learning and teaching for seventh through 12th grades (92
percent compared to 85 percent), and elementary educational curriculum
and instruction (94 percent compared to 83 percent).
"The scores are indicative of
the tremendous emphasis that Southeastern has traditionally placed
on teacher preparation," said President Sally Clausen. "It was our confidence
in this program and the quality of the teachers we produce that led
Southeastern to institute the state's first teacher guarantee program last
year."
Clausen said Southeastern has
adopted teacher preparation as a university-wide responsibility. "Teacher
quality is affected by both content knowledge and knowledge of how to teach,"
she added, "and to achieve both these goals requires the participation
and dedication of the whole university."
Nursing department participates to mall
community day
The Department of Nursing will join area nursing
schools in offering a variety of health screenings and information during
Cortana Mall's Community Day on April 21.
From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Southeastern
students and faculty and colleagues from nursing schools at Our Lady of
the Lake Hospital, Baton Rouge General Hospital and Southern University
will offer diabetes, cardiovascular, blood pressure, colon and breast cancer
screening. United Blood Services will also offer blood typing.
More volunteers needed for Hammond tree
project
Volunteers are still needed to finish an inventory
of Hammond public trees.
"You can spend a morning, either
by yourself or with a friend, driving, riding, or walking around Hammond,
enjoying our trees and doing something useful," said Southeastern professor
Bonnie Lewis. "You can learn exactly what a public tree is and how to determine
its condition, and, at the same time, help us by identifying major trees
and recording basic information about them."
Lewis, director of the Florida
Parishes Social Science Research Center (FPSSRC), is coordinating "Comprehensive
Mapping for Smart Growth Planning," a project to survey and map Hammond's
trees and to develop a "smart growth plan" for city forestation. The project
is being conducted by the FPSSRC with assistance of the City of Hammond
and the Hammond Tree Foundation.
Lewis said more than 3,100 trees
have been inventoried since the project began last fall. The tree project
has been a group effort, she said.
"Hammond Tree Foundation members
have given much needed advice. City of Hammond mapping staff member Lisa
Phinney has patiently entered the collected information about the trees
onto computerized maps, under the direction of C.C. Gaiennie, head of the
city building department," Lewis said. "Louisiana Urban Forester Paul Orr
has conducted part of the inventory and offered training. Master gardener
volunteers trained by the LSU Cooperative Extension program, community
members, and Southeastern students all responded to our last request for
help."
Lewis said the maps will be
used by city officials to insure that the trees are appropriately cared
for. They will also help identify where further plantings are possible
and what trees would be desirable in certain areas.
Interested volunteers can contact
Lewis at blewis@selu.edu or 549-5120. Training will be provided.
"Come on, go out and enjoy the
fresh air, green leaves and beautiful flowers of spring," Lewis said. "Your
help will be highly appreciated."

Walk America supports March of Dimes
The March of Dimes is holding it's annual Walk
America events during the months of April and May. The Tangipahoa Parish
Walk America will begin at 8 a.m. April 21 at Cate Square in Hammond.
Southeastern's committee is
seeking participants interested in supporting a cause which helps save
the lives of babies. Departments can get involved by participating in a
"dress down" day, selling bean bag babies, having a garage sale, forming
a walking team, sponsoring a "donation jar" in their office or buying a
Walk American paper shoe at the SLU Bookstore. Or, they can come up with
their own innovative method to support this worthy cause.
For information on these programs
or to get involved, contact Dollie Hebert at 549-5073 or at dollie@selu.edu.
All monies collected should be turned in by April 19.
Every baby born today is a beneficiary
of March of Dimes research. Apgar scores, PKU and Rubella testing and the
polio vaccine are just a few of the many ways that babies are touched by
the March of Dimes. Unfortunately, babies right here in Louisiana desperately
need your help. In fact babies in other countries have a better chance
of survival than babies born right here at home. Through Walk America,
we plan to raise the dollars necessary for the March of Dimes to advance
its mission to give every child a healthy start in life! Please consider
the impact your contribution of time and money could make to these babies.
Thank you for getting involved,
it may make all the difference in the world to a baby.
