International Pollution-Awareness Campaign Targeting Students and Restaurants Compiled by Meredith Cooper

TLANTA – Question: what do two teens, a bunch of students and disposable plastic straws equal? Answer: one large campaign to raise awareness about the danger that plastic straws bring to waterways and oceans. Carter and Olivia Ries are no strangers to working on environmental issues. They started the nonprofit organization One More Generation (OMG) back in 2009 when they were

8.5 and 7 years old respectively. Their passion for educating fellow students has taken them around the world, and OMG has worked on protecting animals ranging from rhinos to sea turtles, as well as teaching children the importance of recycling and not polluting the planet. “What first inspired me was when my aunt went to South Africa and was wondering what to get my brother and I as a gift, so she decided to adopt

two cheetahs, and she brought us two certificates saying that we are now the adoptive parents of the cheetahs,” Olivia told Hispanic Outlook. “We were so excited. Later, we asked why animals needed to be adopted, and once my dad told me why, I realized that we need to protect these animals, so that they won’t go extinct.” “The first cause we took-on was collecting money for the cheetah rescue center in South Africa,” Carter told Hispanic Outlook. “We did this by standing outside and asking people for money, and we explained what it was for. Being small (cute as my mom and dad would say) children, we got more attention. But the pros always come with the cons, and because we were children, we weren’t taken seriously. We did manage to collect over $1,000, and we used our mom’s airline miles and went to South Africa and hand delivered the check to the founder of the Ann Van Dyke Cheetah Center. It was amazing to see the work we had done be fulfilled.” Despite being so young, Carter and Olivia’s efforts were noticed by the international environmental education organization the Captain

next time we came, another load of straws. This eventually annoyed me, so we did research and saw that we are using over 500,000,000 straws every single day, and they are ending up in our landfill. This was disturbing, and we decided that this was the new project to do because all you had to do was ‘say no to a straw’, how hard is that?” “It is so important that we educate the youth of the world about the problem,” Olivia said. “Unfortunately, we youth are being brought up in a society that blindly accepts all the needless plastic packaging and plastic bags, bottles, cutlery and yes, even plastic straws without even thinking about the consequences. The youth of today are very smart, and if we educate them about the issue, they will find a way to be the solution. We want our OneLessStraw Pledge Campaign to be used in every school around the world.” The campaign consists of three targets for participation: individual students, schools and restaurants. 12 • August/September 2017

• Individual students can take a pledge to not use straws for 30 days. They ask one adult family member to do the same. If the student catches the adult using a straw during the 30 days, the adult pays a pre-determined dollar amount to the student. The student donates the collected funds to OMG at the end of month. OMG will use the funds to teach more students about plastic pollution. • The second group is schools who will sign up students to charge a family member, but this time it becomes a fundraiser for the school. The school will use collected funds for environmental education in the school. • The third target group is restaurants. During the 30 days, restaurants are asked to not hand out straws unless customers ask for them. Wait staff can wear buttons educating customers about the campaign. Restaurants save money on having to purchase less straws. The One Less Straw campaign has over 120 partners to help spread

Sullie Saves the Seas…and Inspires Next Generation of Environmentalists

O

livia and Carter Ries were inspired by real-life environmental issues to start a nonprofit organization and try to make a difference around the world. Similarly, author Goffinet McLaren saw firsthand the impact of littering on the environment and decided to take action. “After retiring to live at the beach in South Carolina, I became distraught by the thoughtless human behavior that had descended on our beaches,” McLaren told Hispanic Outlook. “After a few weeks of constantly picking up plastic litter and talking to people who were deaf to the enormity of the problem, I had to find a better way to communicate with a larger audience. I felt compelled to take stronger action in a fun way in order to make a difference.” Her children’s book, “Sullie Saves the Seas,” is about a seagull who grows so sad and upset by humans littering the beaches and oceans that he decides to change things in his own unique way. “The basic story illustrates to oblivious humans how their careless littering behavior can have devastating consequences to shore birds and all marine life. Sullie, who is a prankster at heart, enjoys planning naughty activities, which resonate with humans to help them understand the error of their ways.” McLauren said that the original version of Sullie’s story became so popular that she decided to expand the appeal of Sullie’s pranks by including coloring options to help reinforce his message. Many children, she said, have written to me saying that Sullie was the best book that they had ever read and laughed from start to finish. “Yes, I have read the book ‘Sullie Saves the Seas,’” Carter told Hispanic Outlook adding, “and I would recommend it to all schools. It shows a way that the slightest of creatures that no one pays much attention to can make a difference. It resembles society and how sometimes the people who go unnoticed can make the biggest impact. Goffinet McLaren is a great writer, and it has inspired me to reach out to more of the youth and get them to read this amazing book about the unlikeliest of heroes. “I have read this book, and I absolutely love it,” Olivia told Hispanic Outlook. “I think that it should be mandatory for all schools to read it. Sullie and his friends help people understand how their actions affect animals everywhere. Mrs. Goffinet not only understands how bad the problem is, she also understands how to reach children of all ages, and that is why I think her book is so popular. I think this book should be translated in Spanish and other languages, so kids around the world can learn from Sullie. “Olivia and Carter started One More Generation around the same time that I discovered plastic litter on Sullie’s Turtle Beach,” McLauren said. “Through Facebook we discovered that our environmental interests overlapped, and we shared a common passion to make a difference for the benefit of our Planet and all that live on it.” “Sullie Saves the Seas” is recommended for grades 2-6.

STEM Academy Focuses on

Children of Migrant Workers

S

ince they were introduced in 2006, NAO robots have been helping students on the autistic spectrum connect socially. At Adams State University in Alamosa, Colorado, robotics professors are using these programmable humanoid robots to introduce the children of migrant workers to the STEM fields. For the past three years Dr. Comfort Cover and her colleagues 26 • August/September 2017

at Adams State have hosted the Migrant STEM Academy. Each year, 25 Hispanic students from Colorado middle schools immerse themselves in the college experience for three days while taking classes with STEM professors. During their stay, students measure rivers and water streams with a geologist, locate and identify insects with a biologist, write math formulas to solve the Rubik’s cube with a

mathematician and program a NAO robot with Cover, assistant professor of management information systems at Adams State. Sticking to the Basics The 23-inch tall NAO robot and its software, Choregraphe, were designed to allow students who have no experience writing computer code to learn the rudiments of computer programing.

The 23-inch tall NAO robot and its software, Choregraphe, were designed to allow students who have no experience writing computer code to learn the rudiments of computer programing. With minimal effort, teachers and professors can have elementary, middle and high school students programing a NAO robot to respond to questions, recognize a face and even dance. teachers and professors can have elementary, middle and high school students programing a NAO robot to respond to questions, recognize a face and even dance. Students who have some coding experience and want more of a challenge can reach beyond the standard elements of Choregraphe and write code using the popular computer language Python. With time at a premium in the academy, though, Cover sticks to the basics of computer programing. “I try to teach them about sequence selection and repetition and a little bit about objects, so they understand that baseline. It’s amazing how quickly they catch on and are off and running,” Cover said. She starts with pseudo programing, encouraging students to think

about the procedural steps necessary to complete an everyday task. In one exercise her students list the steps the robot would have to follow to change a flat tire. Then they sequence those steps. “You have to know all the steps and put them in sequence and then it will work. If you want to repeat it, you can repeat it. If you want a decision, you can put a decision in there. Those are your three major activities,” Cover said. Filling a Void For years, Hispanic migrant workers have flocked to Colorado’s San Luis Valley in search of employment. As a result, many of the students in the valley’s schools are Hispanic. For the most part these are the students who attend Adams State’s Migrant STEM Academy.

Some even come from as far away as Greely, Colorado, about five hours to the north. “It’s just wonderful to see all the kids and the mentors who come with them,” Cover said. Many of the students who attend the academy are first-generation. Few have parents who graduated high school, let alone college. Cover gets a sense of how much the parents value the academy when she sees their reaction at the reception she holds on the final day. Students are asked to choose a STEM field and create a presentation demonstrating what they learned about that field during their stay. Then they present at the reception.

a dance. “The parents just thought this was the best thing they’d ever seen,” Cover said. STEM subjects can often be a tough sell to middle school students. However, through Adams State’s Migrant STEM Academy, middle school students realize that the material presented in STEM subjects is not as difficult as they thought. “It’s actually stuff you use every day,” Cover said. Students don’t learn STEM subjects in a vacuum. The more they learn, the more they realize they’ll need a blend of skills to solve problems in the workforce. To illustrate this, Cover recalled that the group of students that used math to solve a Rubik’s cube later posed an interesting question: Is it possible to program the NAO robot to solve it, too? “How can we make that happen? So all of a sudden they brought the math right into the robot. That’s where you can see they get really excited because they see an overlap in the STEM fields,” Cover 28 • August/September 2017

said. Some even asked if they could bring the robot out into the field on their next earth science trip. "[They thought] it would be really cool because it could help us find this stuff,” Cover said. Middle school students are easily influenced, a fact that Cover exploits to set the STEM hook in their mouths. If students are introduced to STEM in middle school, she said, professors and teachers can have a lot more sway over their academic decisions. It’s More Than Just STEM The Migrant STEM Academy provides students with an opportunity to pursue those subjects that interest them and perhaps excites their interest in STEM. But that’s not all it does. While at Adams State students live in the dorms and receive a lunch pass for the cafeteria. “They get the full experience [of being at college], Cover said. Some are surprised when they learn

that they don’t have to get permission to be excused from class as they do in middle school. “They all learn to really enjoy that. We say, ‘You’re an adult in my mind now, and you have to act like one,’” Cover said. Over the years, Cover has noticed that some students show up for the academy two or three years in a row. Those who do are so excited about the program that they can’t wait to demonstrate what they’ve learned to the new arrivals, something that makes Cover happier than even the code that they write. Through the Migrant STEM Academy, Cover is looking to get middle school students excited about STEM, which she hopes will create a pipeline of students into STEM professions. She hopes the academy will excite students in a manner that makes them say, “This is neat, and I want to do more of this. Where can I find it?” she said. •


UNCENSORED Written by Margaret Orchowski HSI FUNDING CONTINUES BUT BELOW THE TRUMP RADAR A few months after taking office, President Trump met with a group of African-American educators to extol Historic Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). He promised to increase their funding (so far unfulfilled). There was a lot of hoopla in the press. But other higher education programs serving minorities including Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) have not been highlighted by the Trump administration nor the media. In fact, many in the administration and the press don’t seem to really know about HSIs. They remain under the radar. That may be a good thing. Former Trump CEOs have been known to revel in the hands-off freedom Trump gives them as long as they prosper and stay out of the news. For now, HSIs are thriving. In fact, at this point the number of HSIs are growing at a faster rate than funds are growing to cover them. New specialty medical and STEM HSIs are increasing. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos has so far not threatened to cut back on programs serving minorities; she mainly seems to want to diversify and broaden them to include all students. That may mean not only new sources of funding for HSIs but also a wider dispersal of funds to non-Hispanics. But that may not happen – as long as HSIs stay out of the Trump spotlight. AMERICAN APPRENTICESHIPS NOT LIKE GERMAN This summer, President Trump’s brightest post-secondary education spotlight has shone on apprenticeship programs. This is not a new idea to many Democrats. “Our model is Germany” Chicago Mayor and former Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanual declared in a June address to the National Press Club about education. But, in fact, American apprenticeship programs will probably not be anything like German ones. For one thing in Germany apprenticeships begin at age 15 and cover hundreds of blue and white color careers such as bank tellers.

In the U.S. the college vehicle will most likely be our unique community college system with its insistence on new tech, academic certificates and degrees but adjunct professors. The German tradition of retraining and retaining long-term employees and former apprentices is also not the American way. AS LATINO VOTE FADES FROM NEWS, IMMIGRATION REFORM CHANGES The silence has become deafening. Two weeks before the Nov. 8 presidential election, TV pundits covering the election campaign rarely failed to mention the significance of the growing Latino Vote that would propel candidate Hillary Clinton to victory. Nuances however were lacking, such as the uneven distribution of the Latino electorate – where in only 10 states, almost all of them in the West, are Latino voters over 10 percent; and its diversity where, unlike the black electorate, some 27-30 percent of Latinos regularly vote Republican. More significantly, almost no one pointed out that close to 50 percent of 2016 potential Latino voters – U.S. citizens over the age of 18 – were millennials known for their ardent support of presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, as well as an unreliable pattern of turning out to vote. Since the election, mention of the Latino Vote in the press is almost non-existent. Perhaps it is now viewed as too defuse. But the silence could impact the politics of immigration reform. Until recently, immigration issues in the United States were seen as being mainly about Latinos – with good and bad consequences. But now the need for Trump’s southern border wall has been challenged by an almost net neutral influx of Mexican crossers. The growing percentage of illegal immigrants (now almost half, increasingly of Asian heritage) who overstay their visas also diminishes the Latino impact. Even more significant, the refugee crisis in Europe has shifted concerns about immigration to refugees from the Middle East and to high skilled workers. As the immigration

debate shifts away from Latinos, so may the power of the Latino Vote. DACA REMAINS, DAPA ENDS, PARENTS IN LIMBO; DREAMERS CONFUSED There’s a lot of confusion about DACA, DAPA, DREAMers and their and undocumented parents and siblings. Trump engenders confusion it’s true, but even most Congressional representatives are confused about DREAMers. By definition DREAMers are millennials ages 18-32 or so who came into the country illegally before the age of 16; graduated from high school or obtained a GED and have lived in the country without authorization and without committing a serious felony for at last five years. In June of 2012, President Obama ordered a prosecutorial discretion program called DACA (Deferred Action [from deportation] for Childhood Arrivals) for DREAMers who applied and qualified individually. By 2016 more than 700,000 had been given two-year work permits and a second extension on the program. President Trump announced in June 2017 that he would retain the program – for now. But it does not protect participants from deportation if they have been involved with serious misdemeanors or felonies. And parents of DREAMers (adults who knowingly came into and stayed in the country illegally) were never included. “Undocumented” parents whose children are citizens – naturalized or born in the U.S. – were to be given a waiver under DAPA (Deferred Action for Parents of Americans). But that program was stopped before it began by court order and terminated by President Trump this June. The future? DREAMers probably will continue to be used as a political wedge by both parties for piecemeal immigration reform negotiations up to the next election, maybe beyond. •

SCHOLARS CORNER

BECOMING AN AGENT OF

SOCIAL CHANGE Written by Joanna Perez, Assistant Professor of Sociology California State University, Dominguez Hills

G

rowing up in the predominantly low-income Latino immigrant neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, I became aware of the limited opportunities (social, political, economic, etc.) that were available to the members of my community. Thus, I am immensely grateful for the various opportunities that have provided me with the necessary tools to work toward changing the social conditions of marginalized communities. For instance, during March of 2016, I attended my first American Association of Hispanics in Higher Education (AAHHE) conference as a graduate fellow. While at this conference, I met and learned from other Latino graduate fellows, professors and professionals from across the nation. By the end of the conference, I felt as though I had joined a community of scholars and administrators who were invested in addressing the needs of Latinos in the U.S and beyond. As I was the only first-generation Latina doctoral student in my graduate program, it was crucial to have the necessary support to finish my degree. While pursuing my Ph.D. in sociology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, I benefited from the mentorship of several professors. For instance, my 30 • August/September 2017

advisor, Dr. Jorge Chapa, encouraged me to apply to academic opportunities geared toward helping minority students thrive in graduate school and beyond, including the AAHHE Graduate Student Fellowship Program (GSFP). As a former AAHHE graduate student and faculty fellow, Dr. Chapa particularly wanted me to become part of the AAHHE family because he believed in the mission of the organization and knew that my life would be forever changed if I were granted the opportunity to join the AAHHE family. Given the competitive nature of the AAHHE GSFP, I was honored and humbled when I was notified that I had been selected as participant of the 2015-2016 cohort. In particular, my acceptance was immensely meaningful because it occurred during the time when I was deeply heartbroken by the unforeseen passing of Dr. Chapa. While at the conference, I was able to grow as a scholar, mentee, mentor and community advocate. More specifically, after each session I attended with the graduate and faculty fellows, I felt validated, empowered and inspired to keep pushing through my graduate studies and to keep working toward making my dream of becoming a tenured profes-

sor a reality. During these sessions, we not only discussed and provided critical feedback on our research, but we also had deep and critical conversations about our process and role in increasing the education pipeline of Latino students. Furthermore, given that prior to coming to the conference I had recently accepted a tenure-track faculty position, I was vastly grateful for the opportunity to learn about the experiences and coping strategies of faculty fellows. Currently, as an assistant professor of sociology at California State University, Dominguez Hills, it is the friendship and consejos of my cohort and faculty fellows that keep me grounded. Also, having served as the 2016 alumni coordinator co-chair, I worked to make sure that we all continued to fight for social justice and to equip the upcoming generation of Latino students with the knowledge and tools to be agents of social change. Indeed, I will forever be grateful for the experience and the familia I gained as an AAHHE graduate fellow. •

LET’S DISCUSS: STUDENT VETERANS

Embracing the Intersecting Identities of Student

Veterans in Higher Education Written by Jose E. Coll & Eugenia L. Weiss

M

ore than 2.3 million U.S. service members have been deployed to serve in the Global War on Terrorism. According to National Center for Veterans Analysis and Statistics (NCVAS, 2012) limitless military personnel and their family and friends have been deleteriously impacted by the longest conflict in U.S. history with an estimated 1.2 million service members having disabilities resulting from combat exposure. Furthermore, a report from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES, 2012), illustrates that during the years 2011-2012, there were 1.1 million military students enrolled in undergraduate education programs. Ever since the birth of this country, many have served in uniform and sought a positive and rewarding transition back into their civilian communities through higher education and/or the workforce. Many have succeeded while others have not because of combat injuries, which have prevented the attainment of adequate employment or prevented them from successfully completing post-secondary education. Although much has been written about

~

student veterans and transition (Coll & Weiss, 2016; Grandillo & Magee, 2016) there is scarce literature and research on non-citizen soldiers1 in particular the immigrant student veterans and how to best serve a group that holds intersecting identities, both as a military veteran and as an immigrant. Since its inception as a nation, the U.S. has welcomed immigrants to serve in its military to protect its independence and Constitution, while at the same time being ambivalent toward foreign-born soldiers, historically denying them individual rights and privileges. Throughout U.S. history these non-citizen soldiers have been denied the right to vote, to own property and to hold public office, but these acts have not curbed their desire and will to serve in uniform. In fact, 20 percent of those awarded the Medal of Honor have been non-citizen soldiers, and in our most recent conflicts, more than 150 Bronze Stars have been awarded to this group. The increase in foreign-born persons and the growth of diverse communities within the U.S. has created a source of potential military recruits,

which has in turn changed the landscape and composition of the armed services and higher education for that matter. According to One America (2016), between 1999 and 2010 the number of non-citizens serving in the U.S. military was approximately 80,000, representing five percent of the total force, or a ratio of one out of every 20 recruits. It is also estimated that there is a total of 3.4 million students attending higher education who are not naturalized citizens.

Each of the 80,000 non-citizen soldiers represent a unique worldview, and that individual is then assimilated to a military culture that is comprised of élite values, traditions, norms and perceptions that govern how members of the armed forces think, communicate and interact with each other and with civilians. Though each branch of the military has a unique set of core values, there are unifying qualities across the various divisions of the military, such as honor, courage, loyalty, integrity and commitment. The values of the military serve as the standards of conduct for military personnel and regulate the lives of soldiers on a daily basis. Upon entry into service, military values are aggressively imposed on the soldiers with little consideration regarding their existing cultural values and norms. The military’s indoctrination of their standards of conduct is necessary because members of the armed forces must be ready at all times to be deployed into combat. The shaping of a military worldview becomes the “new normal” as service members become almost exclusively surrounded by those who share a similar experience and this proximity reinforces the beliefs to a point that the service member begins to lose the civilian part of themselves. The shift in identity occurs again later as a veteran attempts to integrate into higher education and into a civilian community, whereby the veteran is challenged once again to assimilate intersecting identities, to include military, immigrant and civilian. As a Latino immigrant veteran (first author), I support and understand the need for the military to impose such an abrasive indoctrination of military core values; however, I struggle with the

reality that this acculturation process has chipped away at my own cultural ethnic identity and worldviews. For Latino/a student veterans this phenomenon has the potential of causing increased isolation as an individual may not adequately meet the social expectations of his or her group of origin and experience cultural and political isolation by holding a mixed identity and/or feeling distant from the military cohort. In the metamorphosis that must occur from soldier to civilian, there is a possibility of experiencing psychological invisibility. Williams (2013)2 asserts that psychological invisibility is a depersonalization and a sense of being overshadowed by stereotypical assumptions and prejudices created by media and society regarding a specific group, in this case post-war veterans. This psychological phenomenon often plagues our veteran population with subjugation of stigmas such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), military sexual trauma and traumatic brain injury; and unfortunately, every veteran whether disabled or not will typically

be viewed under these assumptions by his/her civilian counterparts. This crisis may be more damaging than what we think, and Williams states that psychological invisibility may be the catalyst for: isolation, loss of self, depression, lack of trust, lack of attachment and loneliness; adding to the already difficult process of separating from military service. To address these concerns, we recommend institutions of higher learning to establish programs that encompass and take into consideration that veterans are not a homogenous group and develop culturally sensitive services that embrace the struggles of identity development, as well as the intersectionality encompassing a myriad of social identities. Recommended first steps include “The 8 Keys to Success” established by our former president and the U.S. Department of Education. These eight principles in supporting student veterans focus predominantly on environmental factors in post-secondary institutions, such as community, support and coordination of services:


1. “Create a culture of trust and connectedness across the campus community to promote well-being and success for veterans.” 2. “Ensure consistent and sustained support from campus leadership.” 3. “Implement an early alert system to ensure all veterans receive academic, career and financial advice before challenges become overwhelming.” 4. “Coordinate and centralize campus efforts for all veterans, together with the creation of a designated space (even if limited in size).” 5. “Collaborate with local communities and organizations, including government agencies, to align and coordinate various services for veterans.” 6. “Utilize a uniform set of data tools to collect and track information on veterans, including demographics, retention and degree completion.” 7. “Provide comprehensive professional development for faculty and staff on issues and challenges unique to veterans.” 8. “Develop systems that ensure sustainability of effective practices for veterans.” In theory, these principles provide a helpful compass, however, what these fail to address is how to create support programs that recognize the diversity and unique worldviews of student veterans and more importantly how to establish a dialogue that supports the development of a new worldview post-combat. Simultaneously,

the question arises as to how to create inclusive programming and diversity training for staff, faculty and students alike that will address the many facets of cultural sensitivity in all aspects of the university or college environment? The importance of belonging is central to achievement and success for all of our students, regardless of background. First, we need to start with a clear understanding of the multiplicity of social identities and not pigeon hole any group into a stereotype. Thus, the preparation must be two pronged, first in terms of supports for the student veterans and secondly, for the institution to understand its own role and responsibility in arming itself with truly multidimensional approaches to cultural sensitivity training that take into account various social identities that may exist in every individual. In our opinion, it is essential that we begin to establish a dialogue of how to support shattered worldviews by enhancing and supporting a safe space for identity development that transcends all existing norms based on ethnic and social assumptions. If universities are committed to success — beyond access and completion — we need to widen our scope. For starters, we can seek to minimize stigmatization by discussing the unique needs and perspectives of the individual student veterans with our community at large, which are impacted by the various cultures, languages, nationalities, gender identities, socio-economic statuses and experiences. Furthermore, we need to develop programs that enhance psychological visibility versus existing models, which appear to be a “one-size-fits-all” approach, as not all veterans are alike as mentioned in this article. Lastly, we need to provide

…20 percent of those awarded the Medal of Honor have been noncitizen soldiers, and in our most recent conflicts, more than 150 Bronze Stars have been awarded to this group. student veterans the opportunity to explore all educational possibilities through culturally appropriate career services and allow them to also choose a liberal arts education if they wish to do so. This would require us to curb our tendency to want to rush them through a degree, as well as require a change in institutional and funding philosophies and policies. Lastly, we conclude with the belief that one of the most fundamental aspects of a liberal arts education is identity development and that this occurs through the incorporation of the core teachings of philosophy, arts, geometry, chemistry, language and history to name a few. In other words, we do not wish to short change our student veterans of the full experience and meaning that a true education can provide. • 1.

SCHOOL LIBRARY Born in New York City, Julia Alvarez moved back and forth several times between the United States and her family’s native home, the Dominican Republic, for the early part of her life. Her inspiration for writing began as she learned English since, as she writes on her website (www.juliaalvarez.com), “Not understanding the language, I had to pay close attention to each word -- great training for a writer.” She continued to pursue her writing passion while also teaching, and by 1991, she both earned tenure at Middlebury College and published her first novel. She wrote her first Tía Lola book in large part for her ten-year-old nephew, as well as to talk about the lives of the Latino children of immigrants. And so it is our pleasure to feature the entire Tía Lola series for this month’s School Library. Published by Yearling and recommended for grades 3-7, the series has an educator’s guide available through Random House at http:// www.randomhouse.com/catalog/teachers_guides/9780375869143.pdf

When Miguel’s Tía Lola comes from the Dominican Republic to Vermont to help out his mami, Miguel is worried that his unusual aunt will make it even more difficult to make new friends. It’s been hard enough moving from New York City and leaving Papi behind. Sometimes he wishes Tía Lola would go back to the island. But he wouldn’t have the treats she puts in his lunchbox, which he’s sure helped him make the baseball team. And she needs his help to learn English. So Miguel changes his wish to a new one and figures out a clever way to make it come true.

This time Tía Lola works her magic in school. Imagine what happens when a fun-loving, storytelling, magical Tía Lola is asked to be the Spanish teacher at Bridgeport Elementary where Miguel and his sister Juanita go to school. Tía Lola is reluctant at first because she never went past fourth grade in her native country, the Dominican Republic. But she can turn a boring hour into an adventure the kids will never forget. Miguel and Juanita end up sharing their very special aunt with the whole school. Soon everyone in town and all of the students at Bridgeport Elementary consider Tía Lola their very own aunt.

While the truth may inspire us to make confident assertions, it is the secrets, lies and half-truths that inspire us to delve further into our own writing to discover the heart of the story. The pieces in this collection feature essayists who do this type of detective work. Each essay contains a secret, lie or half-truth, ranging from the deep family secret to the little white lie, from the shocking to the humorous, and from the straightforward revelation to the slanted half-truth.

Whether writing love scenes for Tom Cruise on the set of “Top Gun,” running lines with Michael Keaton on “Beetlejuice” or crafting Nietzschean dialogue for Jack Nicholson on “Batman,” Warren Skaaren was one of Hollywood’s highest-paid writers, yet he had to battle for shared screenwriting credit on these films. His struggles yield a new understanding of the secretive screen credit arbitration process—a process that has only become more intense, more litigious and more public for screenwriters and their union, the Writers Guild of America, since Skaaren’s time.

Humanity can now tune in to a cosmic orchestra. We have heard the chirp of two black holes dancing toward a violent union. We will hear the cymbal crashes from exploding stars, the periodic drumbeats from swiftly rotating pulsars and maybe even the echoes from the Big Bang itself. Bartusiak was one of the first to report on the new generation of observatories, showing the motivations of the detectors’ creators and the gamble they made to prove Einstein right.

Waxman Publisher: Teachers College Press ISBN-13: 978-0807758625 Through engaging stories and the use of students’ voices, this book corrects persistent misconceptions about youth who drop out of high school. Based on research conducted with high school dropouts in both urban and rural communities, the authors argue that, contrary to popular belief, most dropouts are not disengaged from school at an early age. Many have positive memories of their education, both social and academic, that educators and policymakers can draw on to create successful prevention and intervention practices. The narratives and insights presented here can help readers to better understand the interplay of school-related and personal factors that lead students to drop out.

KITP GRADUATE FELLOWSHIPS

KITP SCHOLARS

The purpose of this program is to offer a unique opportunity for a select group of physics graduate students to spend a semester at the KITP, participate in KITP research programs and broaden their understanding of physics in areas of current research.

The Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics supports visiting researchers in theoretical physics who are faculty at teaching intensive U.S. colleges.

The KITP Graduate Fellows will be selected from nominations from participants in the programs and from other graduate advisors nationwide. Since we wish to make sure that the students admitted are fully able to benefit from the program, and that it will not harm the normal progress of their graduate education, we require that the student’s advisor nominate the candidate student. Students cannot apply to the program directly. Students who wish to participate should convince their advisors to nominate them. The nominator should describe the student, and explain why she/he is suitable for such a program. Additional letters of support would be useful, but are not necessary. The Graduate Fellows will be reimbursed for local expenses during their stay at the KITP, at a rate of approximately $2100/month plus travel support. Further information about the fellowship and about our current and upcoming programs is available on our web site: https://www.kitp. ucsb.edu. Nominations should be made by completing the form at https://www.kitp.ucsb. edu/apply/fellowships/graduate-fellowshipprogram/nomination-form or by writing to: Professor Lars Bildsten, Director Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics University of California Santa Barbara, CA 93106-4030 For participation in the fall of 2018, nominations must be received by February 1, 2018. For participation in the spring of 2019, nominations must be received by September 1, 2018. The department is especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community through research, teaching and service.
