Vol. 20 No. 17 - Jan. 19, 2016

Truman is one of more than 300 colleges and universities to demonstrate a commitment to addressing sustainability and climate change by signing the American Campuses Act on Climate (ACAC) pledge.

The ACAC is designed to amplify the voice of the higher education community. The White House launched the initiative in November prior to the United Nations Climate Negotiations in Paris. At those negotiations, nearly 200 nations reached an agreement that commits almost every country to lowering greenhouse gas emissions.
 
Sustainability and energy efficiency have been priorities at Truman for years. The University has been taking steps to transition to low-carbon energy and enhance sustainability practices on campus long before signing the ACAC pledge. This past year saw Truman embark on a $10.5 million venture to make campus more energy efficient, which in turn will lower the school’s carbon footprint and save an estimated $1 million annually.
 
The 16-month plan began in the summer and includes improvements ranging from the installation of new light fixtures to the updating of heating, cooling and ventilation systems for multiple buildings. All totaled, the changes will allow Truman to: reduce its annual carbon footprint by 20,900,000 lbs of carbon dioxide; reduce water consumption by more than 8 million gallons annually; reduce natural gas consumption by more than 50,500 MCF annually; reduce electrical consumption by nearly 7.5 million kW per hour annually and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 113.5 tons annually through the continued production of solar energy.

The Kohlenberg Lyceum Series will continue the 2015-16 season with a performance by Vocalosity at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 2 in Baldwin Hall Auditorium.

Vocalosity is the all-new live concert event that takes a cappella to a whole new level. Created by Deke Sharon, who produced the hugely popular “The Sing-Off” and served as on-site music director and vocal producer for Universal’s “Pitch Perfect,” this fast-paced production features 12 dynamic voices singing some of today’s chart-topping hits. No genre of music is off limits, and Vocalosity explores them all – from 10th century Gregorian chant and classic choral, to barbershop quartet and bouncing doo-wop, all the way to the Beatles and Bruno Mars. Combined with movement and choreography from Sean Curran, a “Stomp” original cast member, Vocalosity’s performance makes for an exhilarating evening for all ages.

Students can pick up their free ticket by presenting a Truman ID at the Student Activities Board Box Office, located in the lower level of the Student Union Building. Faculty and staff can receive their free tickets by showing their Truman ID at the Information Center in the Student Union Building.
 
General admission tickets may be purchased for $11 per ticket online at lyceum.truman.edu, at the cashier’s window in McClain Hall or at Edna Campbells in downtown Kirksville.
 
Due to the popularity of this show, any campus tickets still available two days before the performance will be made available to the public to purchase.

This season the Lyceum Series will also feature Million Dollar Quartet Feb. 24. All events will take place at 7:30 p.m. in Baldwin Auditorium. Tickets will be on sale two weeks before the event.

Through the support of Truman’s education alumni and a generous estate gift, the James and Margaret Mudd Teacher Recognition Scholarship provides ongoing recognition of excellence in education.

This January, graduating students have the opportunity to recognize a high school educator/counselor who made a positive impact on their academic growth. The chosen teacher/counselor will then receive an invitation to be formally recognized and participate in Truman’s spring commencement. To further acknowledge the recipient, a $1,000 scholarship will be awarded in the recipient’s honor to an incoming Truman student from the teacher’s/counselor’s high school.

Since its origin as a normal school in 1867, Truman has been committed to providing a strong teacher education program. Over the years, more than 8,000 teachers have received preparation from the University, and the education program is deeply rooted in the University’s history.

Graduating seniors will receive an email this month with nomination process instructions. Anyone who wishes to donate to the Teacher Recognition Scholarship fund may do so by contacting the Office of Advancement at 660.785.4133.

The Art and Science of Inclusivity Incentive Program is a series of workshops, lectures, seminars and activities to assist Truman students in understanding various forms of diversity and the importance of differences within a democratic society.

Complete details on the program, including participation rewards for both students and organizations, can be found at truman.edu/inclusivity-program.

The Activities Fair will take place from 3-6 p.m. Jan. 20 in the Student Union Building. Registration for the Activities Fair can be completed at csi.truman.edu/studentorgs/activities-fair-2015-registration.

Coordinators of the 2016 WGST Conference: Amy Sallwasser and Hayden Wilsey
The WGST Conference is sponsored by the Women’s and Gender Studies Committee.

The Office of Student Research will once again offer intensive summer TruScholars undergraduate research experiences.

The purpose of the TruScholars program is to foster collaborative faculty-student research and creative activities to enhance undergraduate student learning. Projects supported by this program should exhibit the potential for scholarly publication, presentation at a regional or national conference, public performance or a gallery showing.

The formal part of the 2016 TruScholars program will coincide with the eight-week summer semester, beginning June 6 and ending July 29. During this time, students should devote full-time effort to their projects and faculty mentors should be continuously available for consultation and collaboration. If student-faculty teams would like to begin their research earlier than June 6 because of the nature of the research or enthusiasm for the project, they are encouraged to do whatever is best for the project, understanding that there will be intense effort during the eight-week session.

Application guidelines, important dates and frequently asked questions can be found on the OSR website at osr.truman.edu/truscholars.

To optimize the quality of the TruScholars experience, there will be a number of required elements including an orientation during the spring semester, attendance at two of three professional development workshops during the eight-week summer semester, and presentation at the TruScholars Research Symposium Aug. 20. Specific dates are given at the OSR website. Faculty will be asked to attend the orientation and research symposium as well as either lead or attend two of the three workshops.

This application does include a project description among other components and therefore students are encouraged to identify a faculty mentor as early as possible.

Questions beyond the TruScholars frequently asked questions should be addressed via email to osr@truman.edu.

The next informational meeting for the Peace Corps Prep certification will be at 7 p.m. Feb. 9 in McClain Hall 306.
 
Peace Corps Prep offers students a unique combination of undergraduate coursework and community service that prepares them for a career in international development. It will build hands-on experience and leadership skills while students complete courses focused on intercultural competence and foreign language.

Upon completion of the program, students will receive a signed certificate from the Peace Corps. Those individuals that participate in the Peace Corps Prep program are under no obligation to volunteer for the Peace Corps at any time, but successful completion of the program will make their applications more competitive should they choose to apply.
 
Anyone unable to attend the meeting can contact Mary Shapiro.

The Center for Student Involvement is now taking nominations for Leadership Recognition awards, including Outstanding President of the Year, the Senior Leadership Award, Outstanding New Organization and more.

Nomination packets can be picked up from the CSI Office in the Student Union Building or nominations can be made online here.

Thomas Trimborn, professor emeritus of music, will be inducted into the Missouri Music Educators Association Hall of Fame later this month in recognition of his lasting impact on the stature of music education in the state of Missouri and beyond. Trimborn earned undergraduate and master’s degrees in music education and conducting from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and a Ph.D. in music education from Northwestern University. He studied conducting at Tanglewood with Erich Leinsdorf and the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Prior to joining the Truman faculty in 1993 as the director of the Master of Arts in Education’s music program, he taught at Palatine High School in Illinois and Valparaiso University in Indiana. He retired in 2014 as professor emeritus of music, marking his 45th year as a teacher. During his career Trimborn conducted many concerts, clinics, camps, festivals and services including performances at Mt. Rushmore and the Kennedy Center. Of special note were his internationally televised performances from California of Aaron Copland’s Lincoln Portrait, with narrator William Warfield, and as conductor for Adolph Herseth, principal trumpet in the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, in a rare guest solo appearance. In his 21 years at Truman teaching future music educators, he established valuable ties to the premiere public school districts throughout the state. Although humbled by this recognition, Trimborn feels that he shares it with the brilliant education and music faculties for the part they play in preparing Truman students for the teaching profession.
