  • Kohlenberg Lyceum Series Releases 2018-19 Schedule

    havana-cuba-all-stars.jpg

    Four events are scheduled for the 2018-19 Kohlenberg Lyceum Series.

    The season begins Nov. 13 with the Tony award winning Broadway show, “Ain’t Misbehain’.” The musical encompasses 30 show-stopping numbers that take audiences on a journey not only through the Fats Waller song book, but through Harlem in its heyday. With Snazzy period costumes, complete with bowlers and spats and ermine and pearls, the dynamic five-member cast takes the audience where the high-steppers partied, from honky-tonk dives to the Cotton Club and from Tin Pan Alley to the Waldorf.

    The holiday season will feature m-pact, a group respected worldwide as a cutting edge trailblazer in the realm of a capppella music. Imagine the smooth soul of Sam Smith, the percussive power of “Stomp,” the funk and groove of Bruno Mars, the sophisticated harmonies of Take 6 and the brass bite of the Michael Bublé Big Band – all created by the human voice alone. As seen in the PBS specials, “Christmas from L.A.” and “L.A. Holiday Celebration,” the warmth and elegance of m-pact pairs perfectly with an evening of holiday favorites. Audiences can’t help but get in the giving spirit as the guys share selections from their award-winning album, “The Carol Commission,” plus a few other surprises.

    In the new year, “Steel Magnolias” by L.A. Theatre Works will take to the stage in Baldwin Hall Auditorium, Jan. 29. Strong as steel, delicate as magnolias, the six women of Chinquapin, La., face life’s ups and downs together in this beloved comedy/drama based upon Robert Harlins’ play written in 1987. Audiences will be pulled into the walls of Truvy’s beauty shop in the deep Bayou of Louisiana and find a tightly knit band of friends confronting grief, loss, life’s unforeseen tragedies and heartaches with what they do best – gossiping and sharing. At turns both laugh-out-loud funny and deeply touching, “Steel Magnolias” reveals the strength of the human condition and the shared need for companionship.

    Lastly, the Havana Cuba All-Stars “asere” or “friendship” tour will bring some of the country’s greatest musicians, as well as three of Cuba’s finest dancing couples. With rhythms and melodies from the cha cha to the rumba, from “Son Cubano” style to the salsa, the All-Stars will showcase a wide variety of Cuban beats. The group is inspired by and dedicated to promoting the entire tapestry of Cuban music through a fresh, contemporary lens. With the greatest dancers and musicians of Cuba working in tandem, the American encore of the Havana Cuba All-Stars tour will be a spirited spectacle of song and dance, exemplifying Cuba’s greatest musical traditions.

    Tickets for lyceum events go on sale three weeks before each performance. Cost is $10 (includes tax) for faculty, staff, students and members of the community. Tickets can be purchased at the cashier window in McClain Hall, at Edna Campbells in downtown Kirksville or online at lyceum.truman.edu. Questions regarding the Kohlenberg Lyceum Series can be directed the Public Relations Office at pr@truman.edu or 660.785.4016.

    All performances take place at 7:30 p.m. in Baldwin Hall Auditorium. Anyone interested in being a Friend of the Kohlenberg Lyceum Series can go to truman.edu/giving/support-an-area-of-interest/lyceum-series-fund for more information.

  • CMDS Receives Continued Approval from ASHA

    speechandhearinglogo.jpg

    Truman’s Communication Disorders Department has been reapproved for an additional five years as an American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) approved continuing education provider.

    ASHA approved providers extend Continuing Education Units for the courses they offer to audiologists and speech-language pathologists. The recognition includes all courses that meet the ASHA Continuing Education Board standards.

    Truman offers both undergraduate and graduate programs in CMDS. Most notably, the program allows for extensive hands-on experience through the Speech and Hearing Clinic. Student clinicians and faculty provide speech, language and hearing screening, assessment and treatment services through the clinic. The student clinicians work under the direct supervision of faculty who are fully licensed and certified.

    “By achieving reapproval through ASHA, we will continue to offer low- and no-cost offerings for local clinicians in the coming years,” said Amy Teten, assistant professor and chair of communication disorders. “We have enjoyed being able to ‘repay’ our community partners who participate in the clinical education of our students by providing such offerings.”

    In order to achieve ASHA approved status, the CMDS Department completed a rigorous application process and successfully demonstrated adherence to the ASHA Continuing Education Board standards that focus on the design, development, administration and evaluation of its continuing education courses offered for audiologists and speech-language pathologists. The reapproval process involved the review of all courses offered by Truman in the past five-year period.

    ASHA is the national professional, scientific and credentialing association for more than 198,000 audiologists, speech-language pathologists and speech, language and hearing scientists.

Notables

  • Notables

    Michael Goggin, professor of physics, and collaborators at the University of Queensland and HeriotWatt University, had their paper, “Unifying framework for spatial and temporal quantum correlations,”published in the July 2018 issue of Physical Review A. The paper is a result of work done while Goggin was on sabbatical at the University of Queensland during fall 2015. The current experiment builds on work done during Goggin’s previous sabbatical which was highlighted in a 2016 article in Quanta magazine, reprinted at wired.com.

    Beth Hopwood, goalkeeper, was named the Great Lakes Valley Conference defensive player of the week for the second-straight week for women’s soccer. Hopwood and the Bulldogs improved to 4-0 after a 2-0 shutout over Northwest Missouri, Sept. 7, and a 2-1 double overtime win over Upper Iowa, Sept. 9. Against the Bearcats, Hopwood stopped the only shot on goal by Northwest to run her shutout streak to three games. Hopwood stopped all three attempts at goal in the second against Upper Iowa, two in the first overtime and one in the second overtime, before Hanna Burke scored on a free kick to give Truman the win.

    Jesse Krebs, professor of music, has an article entitled “Sidney Bechet’s One-Man Band” appearing in the September issue of The Clarinet journal, the quarterly publication of the International Clarinet Association, about the legendary jazz clarinetist who made a record in 1941 by playing all six instruments himself. On Oct. 20-21, Krebs will perform the world premiere of Robert Tindle’s new clarinet concerto, “Grid for Clarinet and Chamber Orchestra,” with the Southeast Iowa Symphony Orchestra.

    Matt Yankowitz, forward soccer player, was named the Great Lakes Valley Conference offensive player of the week. In Truman’s 6-0 victory over Southwest Baptist, Yankowitz captured the program’s first hat trick since 2012. That also represents the last time a Bulldog finished a match with seven points, which Yankowitz was able to accomplish, Sept. 9.
