    2021MBBRegional.jpg

    The men’s basketball team is headed back to the Elite Eight for the first time in more than two decades after winning the Midwest Regional, March 16.

    Truman defeated Michigan Tech 65-62 with the help of 21 points from Cade McKnight and a double-double from Elijah Hazekamp. The back-and-forth game had eight lead changes and seven ties. With just three seconds to go, McKnight made the go-ahead layup to put Truman up 63-62. After an MTU turnover, Hunter Strait iced the game with two foul shots.

    The Bulldogs return to the Elite Eight for the first time since 1999 and will be joined by Northwest Missouri State, West Texas A&M, Flagler College, Colorado School of Mines, Lincoln Memorial, Daemen and West Liberty.

    Truman is scheduled to play Flagler College at 8:45 p.m. March 24. The game can be viewed online. Fans can also listen locally on KRES 104.7 FM or online at CentralMoInfo.com.
  • Theatre Department Presents Pride and Prejudice Adaptation

    321theatre.jpg

    Truman Theatre’s next production of the year, “Pride@Predjudice,” will run nightly at 7:30 p.m. March 25-27.

    “Pride@Prejudice” is a hilarious and moving tribute to one of Jane Austen’s most beloved novels. This play watches Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy fall in love all over again, this time filtered through the world of the internet. Modern voices interject and build on this classic love story in the form of blog posts, chat rooms, quotes from film adaptations and letters from Austen herself to establish a postmodern view of 19th century England.

    “Pride@Prejudice” is appropriate for audience members of all ages. Runtime is approximately 150 minutes with a 10-minute intermission. To continue to create a safe and socially distanced atmosphere, this performance will be available as both a live performance and streamed online from Baldwin Hall Auditorium.

    Tickets for live admission are $2 and online are $5. All tickets can be purchased at boxoffice.truman.edu. Once a ticket for online streaming has been purchased detailed information on how to access the live stream will be provided. There is a limit of 250 audience members per performance. For more information, contact the Truman Theatre Box Office at 660.785.4515 between 11:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

  • Art Gallery Exhibition Continues Until April 15

    321artgallery.jpg
    Machayla Poe’s work the Student Union Building

    The University Art Gallery is hosting its annual Juried Student Exhibition through April 15.

    “The exhibition is always the most well-attended event of the year,” said Heidi Cook, art gallery director.

    Cook attributes the exhibition’s success to the sense of pride felt by students, faculty and staff. She said visitors come to the gallery to see either their classmates’, students’ or their own art displayed.

    The exhibitions contain between 40-60 works depending on the juror’s selection. The guest juror for this exhibition is Nick Satinover, associate professor of print media at Middle Tennessee State University. Satinover will award three cash prizes for best in show and honorary mentions.

    In addition to the juror-awarded prizes, every year the Student Union Building purchases two works for $250 each to display. The process involves about 40 people from various Student Union offices who vote on pieces to decorate the building.

    Machayla Poe, senior art studio major, has had two works purchased by the Student Union Building even though she did not get into the exhibition the first year she submitted art. She said the experience taught resilience, trying, failing and trying again.

    “Everyone has different interests,” Poe said, “Sometimes people want to see things that are more serious, and sometimes people enjoy being around things that are more light-hearted.”

    The exhibition and purchases create a student-centric atmosphere.

    “Students get to experience art, contribute to the selection and hopefully see parts of themselves reflected in it,” said Laura Bates, director of the student union and campus activities.

    Bates sees many alumni return to campus and make a stop at the Student Union Building to view their art.

    Art and non-art majors submit work. Cook said that for art students especially, having a piece selected enhances their resume or CV, fosters professional connections and creates wider educational opportunities.

    Interested visitors can view the gallery website for full hours and COVID-19 precautions.
  • Econ Speaker Examines Universal Basic Income

    321econ.jpg
     
    The Economics Department Speaker Series will welcome Matt Zwolinski to present about universal basic income.

    Zwolinski is a professor of philosophy at the University of San Diego. He is also the founder and director of USD’s Center for Ethics, Economics and Public Policy. One of Zwolinkski’s areas of expertise is universal basic income.

    After the idea of a universal basic income gained national attention with the presidential campaign of Andrew Yang, people began to wonder where this idea came from and whether or not it made economic or moral sense. In Zwolinski’s talk, he will answer those questions and more. He will cover the history of UBI, the main arguments for and against it and the appeal not only on the political left, but among certain conservatives and libertarians as well.

    Zwolinksi’s presentation will take place at 7 p.m. April 19 in the Student Union Budiling Georgian Room B and will be available as in-person or live streamed event.
  • Truman Makes List of Top Affordable Colleges

    321mcclain.jpg

    Truman was recognized by Intelligent.com on its list of “Most Affordable Colleges for 2021.”

    Using information based on an assessment of 17,169 accredited colleges and universities in the nation, only 50 made it to the final list. Each college was evaluated based on curriculum, cost, graduation rate, reputation and post-graduate employment.

    Intelligent.com went on to evaluate each program on the basis of items such as student readiness, student engagement and flexibility. Student readiness looked at educational resources available to students, whether that was online resources or library on campus. Student engagement looked at how active each program was and how many students chose and completed each degree program. Flexibility looked at whether the universities programs can be tailored for the different needs of students. They then calculated an Intelligent Score for each program on a scale from 0 to 100. Truman earned an 85.46 and scored high in flexibility with program delivery format offered on-campus and online. The University was also acclaimed for its minor options.

  • Daniel Mandell

    Daniel Mandell, professor of history, received the 2021 Book Award from the Missouri Conference on History for “The Lost Tradition of Economic Equality in America, 1600-1870,” published last spring.

    One reviewer noted that “Mandell successfully recovers the often obscured legacy of economic equality and moral economy that emerged from the English Civil War, as it informed debates about proper republican polity during the American Revolution.” Another called it a “wide-ranging and insightful book that belongs on the reading lists of the scholars, elected officials, and others who will be engaged with figuring out a path ahead” of the United States seeking the best path out of the COVID-19 shutdown.
  • History Students

    Truman history students Shannon Fetzner, Nick Pruett and Alexandra Miller participated in a panel entitled “Regulating Class, Race and Ethnicity in Early Twentieth-Century America” at the virtual Missouri Conference on History, March 11.

  • Master of Athletic Training Program

    The Master of Athletic Training program was granted 10 years of Continuing Accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE).

    The program’s comprehensive review was due July 1, 2020, and a peer review site visit took place in February 2021. The purpose of the peer review committee is to perform comprehensive programmatic reviews, including self-study reviews and on-site visitations, for all program levels for both quality assurance and quality improvement purposes.

    The peer review team and CAATE found the Truman MAT program to have zero non-compliance issues with the standards and no factual re-writes that needed to be conducted. Based on these results, CAATE voted to grant 10 years of Continuing Accreditation, the highest honor for a comprehensive programmatic review. The MAT program will be listed as “active-in good standing.”

    The purpose of the CAATE is to develop, maintain and promote appropriate minimum education standards for quality for professional, post-professional and residency athletic training programs. CAATE is sponsored by the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine and the National Athletic Trainers’ Association.

    At Truman, the Master of Athletic Training degree is a two-year program with cohorts beginning in July. The MAT program offers a high-quality education allowing students to work hands-on with a variety of patients. The Truman MAT program offers small cohorts to allow for more personalized instruction and learning opportunities. The program has an above average first-time pass rate on the national Board of Certification exam and a 100% job placement rate within six months of graduation. Truman graduates have secured jobs in the professional, collegiate, high school, clinic, hospital and dance areas of athletic training.
  • Truman Wins COVID Award

    Truman was named as an Education Champion in the COVID Stops with Us recognition program.

    COVID Stops with Us is a group of local organizations and individuals committed to promoting safe practices in the Kirksville area to prevent further spread of the coronavirus. Its weekly recognition program highlights the work of those in the community committed to making a positive impact. Truman was nominated for its efforts to keep students on campus, safe and in classes as much as possible during the pandemic. They also provided for faculty and staff what was needed to ensure health, safety and continual operation.

    Each week, three “champions” – one for the medical field, the education sector and the community at large – are acknowledged for their efforts. Nominations are ongoing and can be made here.

COVID-19 Updates

  • Light at the End of the COVID Tunnel, But Do Not Relax Yet

    covidgroup31721.jpg

    In their weekly meeting, Faculty Senate COVID-19 Working Group committee members Nancy Daley-Moore and Scott Alberts discussed case numbers, vaccines and masks mandates.

    Truman reported no active cases during the week of March 16, and while that is a success, Daley-Moore and Alberts cautioned it could be a result of fewer people on campus during break. One good week of case numbers is not a sign people can be lax in their approach to the virus. Everyone should continue to maintain social distance, wash their hands and wear a mask. Regardless of the local ordinance, Truman will keep its mask mandate in place at least until the summer.

    Vaccine rollout has gone better than originally expected and Daley-Moore and Alberts encouraged everyone who wants one to call multiple places in order to get a vaccine or onto a waitlist or “dump list.” While the tier system is still in effect, many providers ease guidelines in order to make sure no doses go to waste.

    A recording of their conversation can be found here.
  • Local Vaccine Information

    vaccine321.jpg

    As COVID-19 vaccines become more available in the area, these are some local providers that will be able to administer it. Although guidelines suggest a tiered system in order to reach the most vulnerable populations first, most providers maintain a waitlist and will administer doses more freely in instances where it can eliminate waste. Those who would like to be vaccinated are encouraged to contact providers and inquire about being waitlisted.

The scholarship amount can vary based on an applicant’s circumstances. The general range will be $1,000-$5,000 based on expected family contribution (EFC), unmet need and other factors.
