  • Mary I. Dereshiwsky, associate professor of educational leadership, moderated two discussion forums at last week's "Successful Online Presentations," sponsored by the Learning Resources Network.
  • Bruce Fox, director of the Honors Program, has been invited to be the keynote speaker at the 13th annual Honors Graduation and Awards Banquet at Estrella Mountain Community College in April.
  • Cathy Small, professor of anthropology and author of My Freshman Year, will give a keynote address on March 11 at the annual meeting of the National Student Personnel Association.

    An essay written by Clara Lovett, NAU president emerita, will be published in The Chronicle of Higher Education that was, in part, inspired by Small's book. As a result, NASPA invited Lovett to introduce Small at the March 11 plenary.

    "All of us are delighted with this opportunity to highlight NAU at a major national conference," Lovett said.

  • Pamela Stephens, assistant professor of art education, had her manuscript, "A Real Community Bridge: Informing Community-Based learning Through a Model of Participatory Public Art," published in the March issue of the National Education Association Journal.

  • The NAU Forensics Team won First Place in the Pacific Southwest Collegiate Forensics Association Spring Championship Tournament as well as First Place for small entry sweepstakes with just six students competing.
