Vol. 20 No. 23 - Feb. 29, 2016

Truman was once again recognized as a top producer of U.S. Fulbright students for 2015-2016 in “The Chronicle of Higher Education.”

The University tied in ranking sixth nationally among master’s students with a total of four Fulbright students. All four of Truman’s Fulbright recipients will serve as English teaching assistants in schools or universities. Students and the countries for which they received grants include: Lauren Baker, Andorra; Paige Bergan, Spain; Brian Jacob, Germany; and Joey Meinert, Germany.

The Fulbright Program is the U.S. government’s flagship international educational exchange program. A current objective of the program is to encourage participants to find innovative solutions to global issues such as climate change and pandemics.

Since its inception in 1946, the Fulbright Program has provided more than 310,000 participants — chosen for their academic merit and leadership potential — with the opportunity to study, teach and conduct research, exchange ideas and contribute to finding solutions to shared international concerns. In the past 65 years, more than 44,000 students from the U.S. have benefited from the Fulbright experience.

The Fulbright competition is administered at Truman through Maria Di Stefano, associate provost and dean of graduate studies. For more information about the program or the application process, visit gradstudies.truman.edu/fellowships or fulbright.state.gov.

Truman State University comes in at No. 49 on a recently released report of the best four-year public institutions across the country, based on 20 indicators of academic excellence.

The rankings, released by Business First, give the highest marks to schools with highly selective admissions processes, strong retention and graduation rates, prestigious reputations, generous resources, affordable tuitions and housing costs, diverse faculties and student bodies, and economically robust communities.

Data for the report comes from the National Center for Education Statistics and the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey. College rankings recently issued by Forbes, Kiplinger’s and U.S. News and World Report also were taken into account.

Truman and the University of Missouri were the only schools from the state to make the top 100. Truman has been included in the top 50 both years this report has been released.

Business First is a publication of American City Business Journals Inc., the nation’s largest publisher of local business news and information.

In the featuring article announcing the rankings, Business First noted that 69 percent of U.S. students who graduated from college in 2014 went into debt as they pursued their bachelor’s degrees, according to a report by the Institute for College Access and Success. By comparison, typically half of all Truman students graduate without any student debt, and the other half graduate with debt well below the national and state averages.

As part of the Global Issues Colloquium series, LaRoy Brant, assistant professor of biology, will present “The Nicaragua Gran Canal: Do We Really Need It?” at 7 p.m. March 3 in Magruder Hall 2001.

The colloquium will discuss environmental conservation and marine biology during a political and economic moment in Nicaragua’s history: should Nicaragua permit China to build its proposed Gran Canal - a waterway larger than the Panama Canal - across Nicaragua?

Other upcoming colloquiums this semester are Virginia Lynch, founder of the International Association of Forensic Nurses, with “Forensic Nursing Strategies: Global Issues in Health and Justice” at 7 p.m. March 31 in Violette Hall 1010, and Anton Daughters, assistant professor of anthropology, with “Observations of Daily Life in Rural Southern Chile” at 7 p.m. April 14 in Magruder Hall 2001.

Sponsored by the Global Issues Committee, the series is presented for educational or civic purposes. For more information on the spring’s colloquiums, visit globalissues.truman.edu.

Truman’s Clarinet Choir has been selected to perform at the 2016 International Clarinet Association’s ClarinetFest in Lawrence, Kan., Aug. 4-7. 

There were an unprecedented 270 proposals for performance submitted this year and the Truman Clarinet Choir will be just one of a few select university clarinet choirs featured at the conference.

The ensemble will perform their concert Aug. 7, which will include Shostakovich’s “Polka” from “The Golden Age,” Teng’s “Hymn of Acxiom” and Ciesla’s “Itamar Freilach” from his “Klezmer Suite.”

This year’s group is comprised of 24 talented members, including eight non-music majors and 17 clarinetists who participated in the all-state band during high school. This will mark the first time that the Truman Clarinet Choir has performed at an international conference since their 1967 performance at the Canadian World Exposition in Montreal.  

In addition to this performance, the Truman clarinet students will have opportunities to attend world-class recitals and master classes, as well as explore the exhibits, where they will be able to try out new clarinet equipment, browse the newest sheet music and interact with famous clarinetists from around the world.

Truman’s Forensic Union placed second in debate sweepstakes, third in overall sweepstakes and won eight state championships at the Missouri Association of Forensic Activities Championship Tournament, Feb 19-20.

In dramatic interpretation, freshman Tia Frey took home sixth place and sophomore Brian Kantanka took home third place. In extemporaneous speaking, senior Sarah Muir took sixth place and freshman Johnathan Christy placed third. Christy also was recognized as the top novice in this category. In afterdinner speaking, junior Anson Long-Seabra placed sixth, and in prose interpretation, junior Adrien Zambrano placed fourth. Truman’s best category was poetry interpretation, where Long-Seabra placed sixth, junior Mahliyah Adkins-Threats placed third and Kantanka took first place and the state championship.
 
Truman Forensics competed in two categories of debate, including parliamentary debate and Lincoln-Douglas debate. In the novice division of parliamentary debate, freshman Jonathan Rogers was recognized as the fifth-best speaker in the division. Freshman Johnathan Christy was also recognized, placing first and making him the state champion speaker in novice parliamentary debate. Rogers and Christy also went on to win the novice parliamentary final round as debate partners, making them the fourth state champions in a row for Truman in this category.
 
In Lincoln-Douglas debate, freshman Jack Eames performed well enough to move from the novice division and into the open quarterfinal round. His performance also earned him two state championships as top speaker and top debater in novice Lincoln-Douglas. Senior Dillon Laaker was a quarterfinalist in open Lincoln-Douglas debate. Laaker also picked up a state championship as the top Missouri speaker in the division. Freshman Johnathan Christy was recognized as the third-best speaker behind Laaker and advanced all the way to the final round of open Lincoln-Douglas, earning his third state championship of the tournament.
 
The team will send a small entry of Lincoln-Douglas debaters to the Illinois State University/Western Kentucky University Nationals Warm-up tournament at Illinois State’s campus in Bloomington-Normal, Ill., Feb. 27-28. This will be the last tournament before the national tournament in mid-April.

Bulldog B.I.T.E. elevator pitch entries will be due by 11:59 p.m. March 2.

An elevator pitch outlines the concept or idea for a product, service or project in a short period of time, typically from 30 seconds to three minutes. The length of the pitch mirrors the time spent waiting for and riding an elevator in a high-rise building. The purpose of the pitch is to spur the interest of a potential investor or financial backer.

Bulldog B.I.T.E., which stands for Business Innovation by Truman Entrepreneurs, is open to any student or team of students — up to three members — enrolled during the 2016 spring semester. A student or team may submit only one pitch concept for the contest. Participants may pitch a for-profit or not-for-profit concept.

Students will submit a concept or idea for a product, service or project in a video pitch no longer than 60 seconds by 11:59 p.m. March 2. The video should not include any props, except the product prototype, and should be one continuous shot. Students must also include an executive summary of their product. The executive summary must contain: name of the individual or team members; problem or issue being addressed by the concept; product description; target market; competitive advantage of the concept; value creation; and expected future use of prize money.

Judges will select six teams to attend the live pitch competition from 3-5 p.m. March 31 in St. Louis to present their product to a panel. The top three finalists will receive cash awards: the cash prize for first place is $3,000; second place is $2,000; and third place is $1,000. Pitch participants, judges, alumni and audience members are then invited to a networking event following the competition.

The Bulldog B.I.T.E. is sponsored by Villhard Growth Partners and is coordinated on campus by the Office of Academic Affairs and the Career Center.

A free viewing and discussion of the documentary film “FIX IT: Healthcare at the Tipping Point” will be shown from 6:30-8:30 p.m. March 3 in Ophelia Parrish 2210.

Discussion of the film will be led by physician James Adams and former State Rep. Rebecca McClanahan, RN. Health plans proposed by current presidential candidates will be discussed.

This 35 minute film, made from the perspective of business, takes an in-depth look into how a dysfunctional and inefficient healthcare system is damaging the economy, suffocating businesses, discouraging health care providers and negatively impacting the nation’s health, while remaining unaffordable for a third of U.S. citizens.

The FSA ID replaced the PIN on May 10, 2015. Instructions on the FAFSA application website will lead the user through. Parent signers will need an FSA ID. Only one FSA ID can be associated with a particular email address.

FAFSA results are also needed for some other federal, state, University and private programs. The state’s FAFSA filing deadline for the Access Missouri Grant Program is April 1.

The Institute of International Education (IIE) is now accepting applications for summer 2016 Freeman Awards for Study in Asia (Freeman-ASIA).
 
The Freeman-ASIA relaunch is the latest of several steps IIE has taken to increase the number and diversity of Americans studying abroad and their study destinations. Studying in Asia before graduating can give students a competitive advantage in their professional careers, especially when collaborating with international peers. More than half of Freeman-ASIA alumni reported being employed in a position related to Asian affairs or requiring knowledge of an Asian language. As more employers seek new hires with meaningful and substantive experience in Asia, it is critical that more Americans learn about and engage with Asian economies, political systems and cultures.
 
The Freeman Foundation’s generous support for the relaunch of Freeman-ASIA builds on prior grants to IIE that funded more than 4,500 American undergraduates in Asia from 2001 to 2014. The newly available awards will advance IIE’s Generation Study Abroad, a five-year initiative aiming to double the number of U.S. students abroad by the end of the decade.

The student deadline for summer 2016 is March 1, and the adviser deadline is March 8. To access the application, and to learn more about eligibility, timelines and scholarship requirements, visit their website.
