Students from Teen Leadership Program Tour Campus
Five students from Wyman’s St. Louis-based Teen Leadership Program (TLP) visited with Dean Hough on July 26, 2019. The TLP provides immersive summer experiences and school-year support to help more than 80 teens each year become successful college-bound students and citizens of the world.

- Identification of values, talents and interests
- Exploration of aligned career paths
- Relationship building with adult role models
- Coaching to help secure financial aid
- Guided college tours
- On-campus mentoring and resources once college has begun

Diversity Scholar – Call for Applicants
Faculty who are interested in learning about diversity and creating an inclusive classroom culture are encouraged to apply for a $100 Diversity Scholar stipend.

Past participants in this program earned a Diversity Scholars certificate serving as a mentor on diversity and inclusion to other faculty members in their department.
Interested applicants should submit a one-page application to the Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning by the end of the day, August 17th, 2019. This should be a one-page letter outlining your primary goals for integrating multicultural and diverse perspectives in your teaching.

Global Bus Foundation’s National Dialogue on Youth Empowerment and Peace Building in Morocco
Dr. McCafferty-Wright, Assistant Professor, CEFS, took a break from her research in Morocco to facilitate a discussion at the Global Bus Foundation’s National Dialogue on Youth Empowerment and Peace Building.

Spirit Bear Coming to Hill Hall This Fall
Michael Mardis, Project Manager-Architect, Design & Construction, worked with the Dean and a committee to design a bear statue which will be placed at the north entrance of Hill Hall prior to homecoming. The statue is part of a project to promote campus spirit, unity and pride. It is an effort from the Student Government Association and Senior Class Gift Commission who organized the project to bring 25 sponsored bears around campus, each to be painted to reflect the unit or organization sponsoring a bear. The following design is now in production.
