Celebrating Our Faculty in Northeast Indiana

Accomplishments

Leadership

Service

A Message from the Chancellor There are many faculty members who contribute to the mission and goals of Ivy Tech Community College–Northeast every day—contributions that enhance the quality of life in northeast Indiana.

These expressions of leadership and commitments to service have not gone unnoticed.

With this campaign— Jerrilee K. Mosier entitled “Celebrating Our Faculty”—the executive leadership acknowledges the accomplishments and contributions of our faculty in a formal manner. It is meant to showcase these cumulative achievements and share them with Ivy Tech and northeast Indiana.

engagement and other. These individual and peer-to-peer comments are listed in this publication and the website.

This campaign features news about faculty accomplishments, faculty degree completion, faculty leadership, faculty position reclassifications, faculty service-award recipients and faculty teaching-award recipients.

Even sentiments coming directly from the faculty will be captured. Between January and March 2012, faculty were issued several targeted emails that gave them the opportunity to submit achievements about themselves or peers who provided exemplary service during the 2011–12 academic year in one or more of the following categories: classroom innovation, instructional excellence/beyond expectations, positive personal endeavors, research outside the classroom, students come first/student

There are many newsworthy and noteworthy faculty contributions that will be featured in the future, as the overall impact from those individuals and their projects are ready to go public.

Until that time, the following profiles and faculty news speaks for itself, but more specifically, it’s a testament to each and every faculty member who gives so much in the pursuit of changing lives and making Indiana great.

But one of the highlights of the entire campaign is the distinguished faculty profiles. The selection process for this first faculty class involved the consideration of numerous evaluative measures, including feedback from the targeted emails. The executive leadership team also wanted to be certain that the full complement of diversity was considered, which embraces the dedicated and essential functions from adjunct faculty.

In the end, these inaugural profiles illustrate faculty who excel in more than one of these categories and are known for presenting new ideas and creating dynamic opportunities for countless individuals in this region and beyond.

A Message from the Vice Chancellor

Cathy Maxwell

How do I condense the enormity of an academic year into a few short paragraphs that adequately embody the wonderful moments, surprises and accomplishments that have taken place? Of course, pride in a job well done, hard work, dedication and service are topics that deserve equal attention, too.

Perhaps I should begin my task on a smaller scale by saying how honored I am to serve as Ivy Tech Community College–Northeast’s new vice chancellor for academic affairs. It was my privilege, just a few short weeks after arriving, to lead the 2012 graduates at Memorial Coliseum during our Commencement ceremonies. Already, I can see the transformational impact Ivy Tech has on its students. I have noticed this is an extraordinary place—a place that changes lives.

Our faculty make an incredible difference in the lives of our students.

The results of collective efforts reveal themselves in moments large and small—ways seen and unseen—that unquestionably affirm the enduring quality of the Ivy Tech experience. The year ahead holds the promise of both challenge and reward, opportunities to learn and the potential for extraordinary accomplishment.

The greatest gift we can give our students is the incentive to persist in their goals, complete their education and enter the workforce in their field of choice. As we go about the business of educating our future workforce, my challenge to the Ivy Tech faculty is not to take the ability they have to impact students’ lives lightly, but rather to embrace the opportunity they have to be a positive force in their lives and in our community.

Exploring the Natural World Professor amplifies science education through inquiry-based teaching

ChrisTINE Barlow

In scholarly circles, science is much broader than the discovery of knowledge; it encompasses the pursuit of it. This noteworthy detail places Christine Barlow’s students at an advantage.

Easily half of what her biology majors do involves hands-on learning, so a natural, inquiry-based teaching approach is fully integrated into the associate biology professor’s classes. Curiosity drives progress in biology, Barlow noted, and that’s why it’s a mainstay in the coursework she facilitates.

“Real learning happens when a topic has become meaningful to a student,” she said. “If I can build bridges between the facts and the relevance of the material, then the facts become meaningful. And when the facts become meaningful, a student is going to integrate that material at a deeper level.”

Barlow’s teaching methodology is very intentional. She seeks to create engaged learners by building a shared excitement for a subject.

“When I walk into a classroom, my goal is to create an academically rigorous environment that’s going to challenge students, and I also aim to keep the biology concepts relevant to them,” Barlow said. “In the big picture, my goal is to help them become strong, independent learners.”

To ensure this outcome, Barlow supplements classroom learning with lake, forest and field ecology labs. In particular, her biology majors travel

to the Crooked Lake Biological Station near Columbia City, Ind., where they venture out on a pontoon boat and use high-tech equipment to gather light, temperature and oxygen readings on the lake. They also collect area water samples and enter the biological and chemical data into the statewide Hoosier River Watch database. For non-majors, she takes them outside for tree identification in the fall and wildflower identification in the spring.

Barlow shared that one of her professional goals during the next five to 10 years is to

produce strong biology students who are going to leave Ivy Tech–Northeast and be successful at their transfer institutions and in their careers.

“A great teacher will take students not only beyond their own expectations, but beyond what students imagined what they were capable of,” Barlow said.

When I have students at the end of the semester who can say, ‘Whew, I had no idea I was able to do that,’ then I know I’ve done a good job.”

Field Notes Christine takes her passion for nature beyond her responsibilities at Ivy Tech–Northeast. For the past several years, she has been a volunteer instructor introducing frogs, snakes and turtles to upper elementary and middle school ages in the Junior Indiana Naturalists Program sponsored locally by Allen County Parks. She teaches this same age group about the animal and insect life they will find in the garden through the Junior Master Gardener Program. Christine also started the Science Fair Club and science fair at Ascension Lutheran School.

A Message from the Faculty Assembly President Major accomplishments marked the Faculty Assembly’s activities during the 2011–12 academic year. Among them, more than $10,000 was granted to both adjunct and full-time faculty for professional development purposes, including those participating in the Study Abroad initiative.

Candy and Tova, has helped clarify the expectations for faculty.

Representatives Andaz Ahmad, Lori Way and I created an online application process for this funding.

Now when instructors need a financial grant to help cover expenses for professional development, they can complete a simple form and submit it to the Faculty Assembly. All current representatives and officers vote on these applications. Faculty Assembly Secretary/Treasurer Deanna Lynn Surfus did a fantastic job monitoring this service.

Additional gratitude is due to Representatives Wendi Anspach, Laura Steele, Brian O’Hara, Tonya Burroughs, Mary Carbaugh, Andaz Ahmad and Paula Ashe who put a lot of time and effort into their projects and committees. Officers Sajeh Richard, Tony Ramey, Deanna Lynn Surfus and I did as well.

Troy Bigelow

Perhaps the busiest and hardestworking member of the Faculty Assembly was Representative Laura Steele, who worked with Assistant Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Candy Schladenhauffen and School of Health Sciences Dean Tova Wiegand-Green to clarify the process and criteria of the annual performance evaluation instrument for full-time faculty. While this is still an imperfect instrument to evaluate the faculty, the result of Laura’s work, along with support from

In other important initiatives, Lori helped Representative Mary Carbaugh transition into a leadership role for Professional Development Day last fall. Mary took over the responsibility of organizing and coordinating the professional development sessions for faculty, worked with the Human Resources office as professional development sessions were arranged and basically helped things run smoothly.

It has been an honor to serve the Ivy Tech–Northeast faculty as president of the Faculty Assembly, and I look forward to more constructive teamwork with our faculty, deans and executive leadership.

I will continue to work with incoming Faculty Assembly President Tony Ramey in an advisory capacity.

Have a wonderful academic year!

Practicing Good Business Sense Program chair assigns annual food drive to make studies relevant Sometimes a greeting card conveys more than a simple thank you; sometimes it provides career validation.

This is precisely what College for Working Adults Program Chair Patrick McCormick discovered in a leave-behind message from a former 21-year-old student.

The young female told McCormick that his investments class taught her it was time to embrace adulthood and greater life responsibilities. As proof, she started an IRA and began thinking about other retirement investments. “I knew at that point an education wasn’t just about credits and degrees; it was about helping individuals mature and succeed in life,” McCormick said. “The experience made me think about my teaching style, and how I wanted to continue engaging students in real-world experiences.”

He has found no shortage of challenges for his students since reaching that epiphany.

In his Principles of Management course, a food drive for the Community Harvest Food Bank is coordinated every year.

The student-driven experience and its goals are multifaceted, McCormick said.

The students are assigned business activities that require them to take their knowledge base one step further by applying it.

“One, students are getting hands-on management experience. They have to come up with how they are going to conduct the food drive, create structure within their own group for management, come up with their own marketing plan and then track real-world results,” he

patrick mccormick said. “Second, we’re helping the students build their résumés through volunteer experiences. We’re also giving back to the community because everything raised through that course project benefits northeast Indiana though the Community Harvest Food Bank.”

Through opportunities like the food drive, McCormick makes no secret of the fact he wants his students to have an edge. Using his connections in northeast Indiana’s business community is key to this objective, he said. “I’ve been able to develop partnerships and through that, we’re able to bring individuals into the classroom who can talk about the most recent technology or the most recent

management styles. Those relationships are very relevant for helping our students maintain an advantage in the workplace,” McCormick added.

He is just as passionate to influence current business leaders, as evidenced by his coordinating role with Ivy Tech Corporate College to sponsor Disney Institute professional development seminars. More than 1,000 people have attended three, separate-topic sessions to date, with their success spawning a statewide agreement for the seminars between the Disney Institute and Ivy Tech Corporate College. The result for McCormick is yet another sign of career validation.

Field Notes Using a portion of the profits from Disney Institute seminars, Patrick has implemented his vision for what he calls the INSPIRE Academy— an ongoing series of events, exhibits and opportunities to enrich and inspire participants in northeast Indiana. It is based upon his notion that a community college should do more than award certificates and degrees; it must fulfill other obligations to its community.

Delivering a Global Perspective Professor emphasizes cultural literacy through foreign language studies Students interested in a journey around the world might be better served by enrolling in one of John Morrow’s classes—at least in the short term. The education he provides achieves much of the same objective, but at a fraction of the cost.

As Associate Professor of Spanish and French, Morrow shares his extensive foreign affairs knowledge and international travels with those eager to learn. One approach that Morrow is careful to avoid during this exchange is a lecture-only format. He knows the tendencies with attention spans.

Therefore, he resorts to a broad media mix—from Argentine newspapers to Spanish-language movies and music videos—to add variety to his content and teaching methods.

“If we were to just study Spanish grammar, I can assure you that would be a pretty boring class. Yes, there might be a few students who are fascinated by grammar, linguistics and so on, but most students find it quite dull, so what you have to focus on is teaching language within a cultural context,” Morrow said. “We don’t want our students to be literate linguistically but illiterate culturally, so my language teaching takes place within the context of culture.”

And inherently aligned with culture is the concept of diversity—a term that some people associate with disdain or discomfort.

john morrow “For a lot of people, diversity is simply different. To me, diversity has a lot to do with similarities. A lot of people focus on how this is different or that is different, but when you break it down and look at the bigger picture, we are all human beings and we are all very similar,” Morrow said. “Different isn’t bad. Different is simply different. People have different traditions, customs and so on, and I find my students really enjoy learning about diversity and cultural differences.”

Travel is a guaranteed way to experience diverse customs and traditions and in

2011, Morrow became the first Ivy Tech professor statewide to be granted a sabbatical, which allowed him to teach advanced Spanish conversation, travel literature and Islamic culture in the University of Virginia’s Semester at Sea program last fall. Morrow joined academic colleagues, their families and nearly 500 undergraduates in visiting 15 countries in four months, sampling numerous cultural and culinary adventures along the way.

Spending sufficient time with Morrow is the armchair equivalent of getting a passport stamped.

Field Notes During the 2012–13 academic year, John will embrace a new role on campus—that of faculty sponsor for Ivy Tech–Northeast’s first Fulbright scholar. The soon-to-arrive Fulbright Language Teaching Assistant, Brenda Zulema Reyes, is a citizen of Mexico and a recent law school graduate. She will assist the Humanities faculty as a Spanish-language conversant and tutor during classroom and lab activities, as well as participate in sporadic cultural events on campus and in the community.

Providing a Bird’s-Eye View Education instructor’s lesson with nests fosters curiosity, creativity Most people are familiar with the expression involving curiosity and a cat, but it’s what kills curiosity that has Karen Redman concerned. The culprit: adulthood. This dilemma explains why she focuses her energy on helping students counteract such a fate.

As an adjunct faculty member in Education and Early Childhood Education, Redman encourages her students to identify and reverse the trigger in human nature that casts aside a natural sense of wonder as individuals mature. Not only are her students at risk, but so are future generations of young learners that her students aspire to teach.

“I often ask adult students what they wonder about and I get blank stares,” Redman said. “We have lost our ability to ask questions and wonder about the world, so I try to re-ignite this interest in my adult students because if they don’t have it, they won’t be able to foster it in children.”

Redman draws from her teaching philosophy to address the challenge, which represents a sharp contrast from the days where students where viewed as sponges of knowledge that required little more than teachers to ‘pour’ information in them.

“For significant learning to take place, the teacher should act more like a

Karen redman facilitator rather than a dispenser of knowledge. That means my role is to present material and also experiences that help guide and support the learning process,” she said.

One such lesson provides her students with a literal bird’s-eye view of curiosity in action. In her Cognitive Curriculum class, future educators are given an introduction on teaching math and science to children. Redman shares bird nests with small groups, and the students are expected to examine them using magnifying glasses.

“I want students to become good observers and ask questions: I wonder what kind of bird built this nest? How can birds weave these materials together with no hands? I wonder if both the mother and father built this nest or just one of them?” Redman said. “They can’t begin to lead students in this way unless they have experienced it themselves.”

As students leave the figurative nest of Redman’s classroom, she said her greatest sense of accomplishment arrives when adult learners are prepared to cultivate curiosity and creativity with others.

Field Notes Karen is a gatekeeper for Ivy Tech–Northeast’s online teaching presence. Not only does she serve on the region’s Online Committee, she specializes in teaching the six-week Online Faculty Certification course through Instructional Technology. The required certification for faculty who teach online and hybrid courses provides an overview and navigation of the Blackboard software environment, complete with tech lessons regarding blogs, wikis and similar items.

Enhancing Student Achievement Program chair modifies teaching approach to benefit various learning styles

dEANNA Lynn SURFUS

Some instructors prefer to lecture; others demonstrate or lead students to selfdiscovery; some focus on principles and others on applications; some emphasize memory and others understanding.

Deanna Lynn Surfus aims to strike a balance among these instructional methods. Surfus’s goal is to vary her teaching approach, so it can better accommodate the diverse learning needs of her students.

“Connecting with different learning styles is one of the hardest things to do in a writing class. Writing is a very personal activity, even when you’re not writing something personal,” said Surfus, the

college’s Academic Skills Advancement Writing Program chair and assistant professor.

Since learning is contextual, people develop preferences as they process information. In response, Surfus incorporates numerous approaches and activities to appeal to the three primary learning styles: visual, auditory and kinesthetic.

“I try to combine all three approaches and then do my one-on-one conferences to figure out how particular students understand and learn. Then I take notes to make sure I approach those students with pictures and handouts for the visual ones, clear explanations for the auditory learners and hands-on activities for the tactile ones,” Surfus said.

While tactile activities appear explored less often in composition lessons, this is not true in Surfus’s classes, as she applies her creativity to illustrate connections. In

one lesson designed to demonstrate the importance of detail and critical thinking in the writing process, students create block patterns using LEGOs, and then draft instructions on how to recreate those patterns. The students’ first attempt often lacks clarity and sufficient detail, Surfus said, which requires them to rewrite their instructions after considering each step and explanation more carefully.

In an auditory-focused lesson, Surfus strums a guitar and sings while introducing rhetorical analysis. The class explores the meaning of the lyrics, why the music was written in a particular manner, what affect the songwriter was trying to achieve between the music and lyrics and how a song fits a certain music genre. The exercise encourages students to recognize patterns and describe them.

“Good teachers evaluate what they are doing constantly and determine what they’ve done well and what they need to work on,” Surfus said. “I know the day I stop caring or the day I stop wanting to get better is the day I need to step down from teaching because my students deserve my best, and so I strive to make sure I’m always improving.”

Field Notes Deanna takes great pride in influencing students outside of the classroom as well. As advisor for Ivy Tech–Northeast’s very active Phi Theta Kappa, she attends regular chapter meetings and events as well as state and national conferences and conventions. She finds working with the members of this national honor society for two-year institutions personally rewarding, as she offers life lessons on how to be a good person, how to get involved in the community and how to develop leadership skills.

Chancellor’s Initiative Committees Shortly after Chancellor Jerrilee Mosier began her tenure at Ivy Tech Community College–Northeast in 2010, she established what are known as the Chancellor’s Initiative Committees. Each of the four committees is charged with a focus different than the next—among them, the Globalization Committee; the Green Team; the Service-Learning Committee and the Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Committee. While a culture of success has taken time to build, the key strides with each committee are largely attributable to the faculty leadership associated with each one. At least one faculty member serves as a co-chair on each committee.

With more impressive accomplishments to follow, a partial list of 2011–12 academic year achievements is provided.
