Gslisadjuncts Dr. Linda Cooper's recent article
by Mary K Chelton 16 Oct '13

16 Oct '13

I enjoyed reading Dr. Cooper's research article in the October, 2013 issue of the Journal of Education for Library and Information Science, entitled "Student Reflections on an LIS Internship From a Service Learning Perspective Supporting Multiple Learning Theories." Given the attacks on internships across the board lately, it offers a very nice justification for them as service learning activities. Mary K. Chelton

Best wishes, Eva Eva M. Fernández Assistant Vice Provost Queens College, City University of New York http://people.qc.cuny.edu/faculty/efernandez ---------------------- Faculty are invited to attend two advanced online faculty development workshops: Essential Instructional Design for Faculty (October 21-28 and November 18-25) The Art of Feedback (November 18-25) These 8-day online workshops have no pre-requisites other than basic Blackboard skills and do not require pre-approval for registration. All faculty are welcome-whether teaching in traditional, hybrid or online format. Workshops can be taken on a casual basis or with the aim of receiving a certificate of completion. A detailed description of the workshop format and each workshop title is available on the registration page-register now at: http://spsfacworkshops.commons.gc.cuny.edu/ These two workshops address some of the most challenging problems instructors face-how to provide effective and targeted feedback to students through diverse approaches while managing your workload; and how to design your course and assignments to create a more engaging and better organized learning experience. Each workshop is intended to provide you with ideas and techniques that you can immediately apply to your own course and teaching methods and an opportunity to share and learn from other faculty. ----------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Socrates mailing list Socrates(a)lists.qc.cuny.edu To unsubscribe or change your preferences goto http://lists.qc.cuny.edu/mailman/listinfo/socrates

Gslisadjuncts Fwd: Fw: My Future Plans

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: <colleen.cool(a)qc.cuny.edu> Date: Tue, Oct 1, 2013 at 9:00 AM Subject: Fw: My Future Plans To: colleen.cool(a)gmail.com In case you haven't seen this message, President Muyskens will step down at the end of this semester. Evangelos Gizis will serve as interim President. Colleen Colleen -----Forwarded by Colleen Cool/Faculty/Queens College on 10/01/2013 09:00AM ----- To: <ccool(a)qc.cuny.edu> From: "Queens College President James L. Muyskens" ** Sent by: "Queens College President James L. Muyskens" ** Date: 10/01/2013 01:01AM Subject: My Future Plans Having trouble viewing this email? Click here <http://campaign.r20.constantcontact.com/render?llr=hb4e4idab&v=001TEa7HUw8h…> [image: QC Banner] >From President James Muyskens: The Book of Ecclesiastes tells us that "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven." I am so fortunate in that I have been able to spend almost twelve seasons at Queens College-longer than any other president in the college's rich history. There is a time to every purpose under the heaven, but time, of course, waits for no one. When you are president of a college, you have time for almost nothing else but being president of a college. And this is fine, as I have always had a great passion for the mission of our college. However, Alda and I are now grandparents of two boys whom we don't see as much as we would like; and I have long felt a need to get back into the classroom and to do more writing. For these reasons, I will be resigning as president of Queens College as of December 31. My heart is very full as I write this, because when I think of the many goals that have been achieved in my years at the college, I think of the hundreds of people who were essential in reaching these goals. There is so much we have done together that has been praised by others, such as the Education Trust hailing us as one of the only colleges in the nation that does a first-rate job of educating students from disadvantaged backgrounds; the *Washington Monthly* citing us for being tops among all public colleges in giving our students "the best bang for the buck"; and the Princeton Review praising the quality of the interactions among our highly diverse student body. And we have done much more: we have strengthened our admission standards to attract the cream of our city's students; we have hired over 300 fine scholar-teachers who will guarantee the quality of our faculty for years to come; we have raised close to $250 million in two capital campaigns; we have internationalized our curriculum with the expansion of the Education Abroad program and the introduction of the "Year Of" initiative; we have improved our campus with the building of our first residence hall, renovations to Powdermaker Hall, the Kupferberg Center, and Remsen Hall, and countless enhancements to the beauty of our grounds. I am deeply grateful to former Chancellor Matthew Goldstein and Interim Chancellor Bill Kelly, who both urged me to stay, but were gracious enough to understand my desire to leave at this time. Like me, they are confident that Queens College will be in good hands during this transition period, thanks to the quality of our senior administrative team and the college's interim president, our good friend Evangelos Gizis. A national search will begin immediately, with the expectation that a new president will be on board by the summer. I must confess that I did not originally plan to stay at Queens College as long as I have, but then, I did not know how much I would come to love and value the people I have had the privilege to work with. I hope that I am leaving Queens College a better place than when I arrived, and am certain that the best days of this college lie ahead.
