Truman will conduct a test of the emergency notification system at 10:15 a.m. Oct. 7.
 
Students, faculty and staff who have signed up to receive Truman emergency alert text notifications will get a TruAlert text and email message letting them know it is a test. Those that have not signed up for emergency text messaging can do so through TruView.
 
To sign up, sign in to TruView and click on the “Truman” tab. Click the “Update Emergency Text Messaging Information” under “Update and View My Personal Information” (lower right screen). A maximum of three phones can be registered to receive texts. Confirm information in the same manner.
 
In addition to text and email messages, an emergency alert will be displayed on all Truman computer systems (Windows and Mac) where the Alertus software has been installed. This should include nearly all workstations on campus. There will also be alerts sent to digital signs in Violette Hall, Magruder Hall, Ophelia Parrish and Health Sciences, to the Truman channel on the Cable TVs in residence halls, and to classrooms with the Truman touch-pad control system installed.
 
The campus is also encouraged to review the emergency procedures. It is important that the entire community is familiar with these procedures in order to understand how to respond appropriately in a number of emergency situations.

Several Truman alumni will be recognized at the Bulldog Forever Celebration Banquet at 6 p.m. Oct. 9 as part of Homecoming 2015.


Justice began his teaching career in Des Moines, Iowa in 1971, where he coached football, track and field and cross-country for 12 years.

Childers grew up on a farm near Rutledge, Mo., and for several years attended a one-room rural school. After graduating from Truman in 1955, he worked as an accountant and office manager in Kansas City, Kan., and New York City prior to entering graduate studies at Indiana University where he earned MBA and doctoral degrees. Victor and his family lived in Venezuela for a year while he carried out research for his dissertation.

Upon joining the faculty of the Indiana University School of Business in Indianapolis in the fall of 1966, Childers had many unique opportunities abroad.

Two Bulldog national standouts, Emily Huyck, women’s soccer, and Merrick Meyer, wrestling, will join the Truman Athletics Hall of Fame as part of the 2015 Induction Class.

This year, the Hall of Fame was split between two different weekends to allow soccer teams to be present for Huyck. A banquet took place Oct. 3 to celebrate Huyck’s induction. Meyer will be inducted as part of the Bulldog Forever Celebration Banquet at 6 p.m. Oct. 9.

Huyck was a two-time Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association Most Valuable Player and a three-time, first-team all-conference goalkeeper for the Bulldogs from 1998-2001. She set a school record of 43 shutouts and currently has the ninth longest shutout streak in Division II. She was 21-1 in the first three years of women’s soccer in the MIAA while the Bulldogs began a dynasty of winning seven straight league titles from 1999-2005.

During her senior season in 2001, Huyck became the first keeper in Truman history to earn All-American honors as she garnered National Soccer Coaches Association of America second-team honors while leading the Bulldogs to an 18-3 record and the NCAA National Quarterfinals.

Huyck is currently the director of the Montessori Co-op School in Omaha, Neb., and continues her involvement with soccer by coaching various ages at the club level and running her own introduction to soccer/skills camp for younger children.

Meyer was the 141-pound NCAA Division II national champion in 2004, joining only Curd Alexander (1968) as Truman wrestlers to win individual titles. Meyer was a two-time All-American, in 2003 and 2004, a four-time national qualifier and owns the Bulldog all-time career wins record with 130. He averaged more than 32 wins a season with a high of 34 in 2005.

Meyer’s college career record was 130-26 with more than half his victories resulting in bonus match points. He never lost a home match in Pershing Arena and placed in every college tournament in which he competed.
 
After graduating Meyer joined The Boeing Company where he works in the International Business Finance Office. He returns to Truman every year with members of the Boeing team to talk about his college experience and recruit college graduates.

To help commemorate the centennial of World War I, the Truman History Department will host a viewing of "Joyeux Noel," the second picture in its World War I Film Series on 7 p.m., Oct. 8 in Baldwin Hall Little Theater.  

Released in 2005, it tells the incredible story of the 1914 “Christmas Truce” along the Western Front — a day when soldiers from both sides of the line put down their weapons to greet their enemy in “no man’s land.” This unauthorized truce remains one of the most extraordinary moments of the war. The film tells the story from the perspectives of both sides of the conflict.

Truman’s disABILITY Awareness Day and Conference will take place Oct. 6 in the Student Union Building, and will feature keynote speaker Colleen Kelly Starkloff as well as a variety of breakout sessions.

Starkloff co-founded the Starkloff Disability Institute with her husband, Max Starkloff, and has served as the co-director since his death in 2010. Together the couple also co-founded Paraquad in St. Louis in the 1970s.

As vice president of Paraquad, Starkloff oversaw widespread education for issues related to independent living, developing new program initiatives and coordinating activities that promoted implementation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. She served two terms as the U.S. organizer of the Japan/USA Conference of Persons with Disabilities, and was also the founding chair of the Affordable Housing Commission in St. Louis. In this role, Starkloff initiated and organized the Universal Design Summits, which trains architects, designers and builders on the uses and benefits of Universal Design in home and community design.

By establishing the Max Starkloff Speaker Series in 2011, she is able to educate the public on the need to create a world that welcomes all people with disabilities. Since 2013, Starkloff has been consulting and training on issues related to employment of people with disabilities in mainstream, competitive jobs. Having received several awards in the disability field, she often speaks on a variety of subjects related to disability rights.
 
Starkloff will give her presentation over lunch, taking place from 11:50 a.m.-2:20 p.m. The lunch is free of charge.

As part of the Global Issues Colloquiums, Starkloff will give another presentation later that day entitled, “Where in the World Are We Going with Disability Rights?” This event will take place at 7 p.m. in Violette Hall 1010 and is free of charge.

Curtis Blakely, associate professor of justice systems, and Michelle Blakely, student education and support coordinator, have just released their book entitled, “Socio-Physics: Applying the Natural Sciences to Criminal Justice and Penology.” It embodies Truman’s vision of promoting creative, innovative and progressive thinking within an interdisciplinary context. Efforts are brought to bear on current correctional processes through the lens of a liberal arts perspective. Overcrowding, budgetary deficits and skyrocketing recidivism rates place the prison at the forefront of national concern. Compounding these problems is a lack of ingenuity among our nation’s leaders about how to deal with these issues. The authors’ approach, referred to as socio-physics, provides a unique analysis of these challenges with the ultimate goals being offender rehabilitation and decreasing crime rates. By using an interdisciplinary perspective, the authors provide a firm foundation upon which new conceptual and theoretical models can be built. The ramifications for this work are far-reaching and are relevant to the understanding and improvement of most public service agencies. This book represents the first known effort to apply the natural sciences to the study of human behavior within a correctional context.

Vayujeet Gokhale, assistant professor of physics, recently secured a two-year NASA EPSCor grant for a total of $59,200.
