Norcross, Three State Lawmakers to Speak at ACE Conference
U.S. Rep. Donald Norcross (D-NJ 1st, Gloucester-Camden-Burlington) will be the keynote speaker next Tuesday, October 23 at the Fall Conference of the American Conference of Education (ACE) Women's Network of Rowan University. The session, which will include lunch, will run from noon to 1:30 p.m. in the Eynon Ballroom of the Chamberlain Student Center. A long-time friend and supporter of Rowan, Rep. Norcross played a major role earlier this year in securing a $1.4 million research grant that’s being shared by our university and Rutgers-Camden. In addition to our local Congress member, the ACE conference will feature a panel of three state Assembly members discussing important issues in our region affecting women, families, and education. They are: Gabriela Mosquera (D-4th, Gloucester-Camden), Patricia Jones (D-5th, Gloucester-Camden), and Carol Murphy (D-7th Burlington). Admission is $15 per person and the College of Communication and Creative Arts has set aside limited funding for students to attend. Contact Jenn Courtneyfor more information. Note that the university is hoping for a large turnout so please check your calendars and, if possible, make an effort to attend this pre-Election Day event. Get Ready! Duo Security Is Coming to a Device near You You’ve most likely heard of Duo Two-Factor Authentication, the new digital security program being rolled out by Rowan’s Information, Resources, and Technology (IRT) office. It’s voluntary for now, but enrollment will be mandatory for all faculty, staff, and students in the coming months. Duo, a password verification protocol from Cisco Systems, adds a second step to the regular login process for desktops, laptops, tablets, and other devices. As the software’s marketing material says, “strong passwords are essential, but they aren't enough to protect your account. The second layer of security provided by two-factor authentication prevents unauthorized users from accessing your account, even if they know your password.” Once you are enrolled, you will sign on as usual with your Rowan Network user name and password and you then would have to verify that you are you. You do this by entering a separate code, unique for each individual login, you receive from a text message, phone call, or a hardware token. If you’d like to be a “early adaptor,” you can enroll right now by clicking here; for more information, including detailed instructions on how to enroll and use Duo, click here. (Here’s a tip: Be sure to see if your devices qualify for the 14-day pass that allows you to skip password verification for two weeks!) Don’t Miss Homecoming (Saturday) and College Assembled (Monday) There’s always something happening here in the 08028, but this is an especially busy time with week-long Homecoming festivities wrapping up and our Fall 2018 College Assembled session taking place on Monday afternoon. . . . This year’s Homecoming theme is “Rowan Goes Hollywood” and the big day is Saturday, October 20 with the College Row assemblage of booths from more than a dozen of Rowan’s top programs, schools, and colleges taking place at the Bowe Boulevard/Carpenter Street corner of campus, behind Richard Wacker Stadium. As usual, the College of Communication and Creative Arts will have some excellent swag available as well as a green screen photo booth where you can live out your dream of being a star – albeit in two dimensions. Rowan Radio 89.7 WGLS-FM will once again broadcast live from the CCCA tent and will be exchanging prizes for correct answers to trivia questions. . . . College Assembled follows just two days later, on at 3:30 p.m. on Monday, October 22, in Bozorth Hall’s King Auditorium. Dean Sandy Tweedie will bring us up to date on all that’s new and exciting in the CCCA. Stay connected and involved and don’t miss this informative biannual event. October’s S.H.O.P. Food Drive Just Days Away While we’re always accepting donations for The S.H.O.P. as part of the Writing Arts Department’s sponsorship of Rowan’s student food bank, we’re about a week away from our October department meeting. That means an empty shopping cart will be sitting in Room 200 of Victoria Hall on Wednesday, October 24 waiting to be filled with canned goods and non-perishable items for students in need. As you undoubtedly know, a recent study surprisingly and sadly showed that 48 percent of Rowan students suffer from food insecurity at some point each semester. This affliction is defined as not knowing where your next meal is coming from at least twice a week. Even more shocking, though, is that 31 percent deal with “very low” food insecurity, meaning they are hungry more days than not. We had our first department food drive in September and – earlier this week – student S.H.O.P. volunteers stopped by our offices here at The Vic to pick up a full cart and leave us another one for us to fill. This reminder, hopefully, catches you before your weekly shopping trip so you can throw a few more items in your cart that – next week – can go into our department cart. The S.H.O.P. is open to all students with a Rowan I.D. three days a week: Mondays from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to noon, and Fridays from noon to 3 p.m. (At left: Terri Tally, coordinator of The S.H.O.P. – Students Helping Other Profs – arranges cans on a shelf in the food bank at Room 141 in Building 5 of the Rowan Boulevard Apartments.) Beware, Take Care, Flying Pumpkins Are In the Air Halloween is almost here so it’s time for the annual Rowan University Pumpkin Chunkin’ competition – the 16th annual to be precise. The event--guaranteed to surprise, amaze, and entertain – is being held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday, October 26 at the South Jersey Technology Park on the West Campus, just down Route 322, before the Route 55 interchange. The university’s student section chapter of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) will host nearly two dozen teams from local high schools, colleges, and universities. The goal of the seven-member teams is to launch pumpkins across a field with the winners based on the longest, most accurate flight. Updated versions of medieval trebuchets, built by the teams over several months, are used to send the squash soaring skyward in this event that brings together prospective and current engineering students for fun and competition. There also will be a faculty/staff pumpkin-carving challenge, a costume contest, and food trucks. Click here to contact Rowan’s ASME chapter for more information. Do you have a new publication, a reading, or any other event of interest coming up? Please let me know so I can let all our colleagues know in the weekly Rowan Writing Arts Events Update newsletter.

Rowan Writing Arts Booth a Collingswood Festival Hot Spot One of the busiest locations at last Saturday’s Collingswood Book Festival was Booth 37, with the Osaka Sushi Hibachi Restaurant on one side and the doo-wop Pop Shop on the other. The hustle and bustle, however, had nothing to do with tempura or burgers; it was the constant flow of attendees stopping by the Rowan Writing Arts booth. In the wake of students, alumni, parents, and other interested parties, the 10 colleagues who shared the three two-hour shifts at the booth were kept quite busy. Several attendees obtained information on how to submit to Glassworks (the peer-review journal of our Master of Arts in Writing program) while another was thrilled to learn of the three new books just published by colleague Megan Atwood. A comment echoed by many graduates who stopped by, however, was how the writing instruction they received from Rowan Writing Arts has helped them become stronger professionals in a variety of fields. Five of the 10 colleagues who worked the Festival were (left to right), Glassworks editor-in-chief Katie Budris, Glassworks managing editor Anthony Palma, Glassworks intern and Writing Arts graduate student Amanda Rennie, colleague Kristine Lafferty, and colleague Jason Luther. Not pictured, due to earlier or later booth shifts, were colleagues Megan Atwood, Anna Bassiri, Alexis Rivell, Myriah Stubee, and Gerry Williams. (Thank you to colleague Anna Bassiri for providing information for this item, and for her work as Rowan Writing Arts’ on-site Festival coordinator.) Campus comes together to discuss police incident at Mimosa Hall More than 300 members of the Rowan community and a number of Glassboro residents attended an open forum meeting on campus last Friday to discuss an incident (click here) in the Mimosa residence hall parking lot on Monday, October 1. In that incident, a routine vehicle stop turned contentious when Glassboro municipal police officers (not part of the Rowan campus police force) drew weapons, including an assault rifle, on two Rowan students of color. President Houshmand opened the forum by acknowledging the "huge traumatic impact" of such incidents, noting that "the pain doesn't stop with the physical pain." He later announced plans to continue the conversation in additional meetings with borough officials, the Student Government Association, and the students involved. A number of Rowan students of color spoke after the president’s remarks and said they collectively feel targeted by the Glassboro police; several even told of being pulled over so often that they have developed acquaintances with certain officers. Speakers also questioned the appropriateness of the procedures used in these numerous altercations and wondered at what point Rowan police are notified that borough officers are on campus. A majority, however, wondered why the Glassboro police chose not to attend the open forum. (Thank you to colleague Nicole Cesare for providing information for this item.) Sophomore Clinic Takes to the Stage in Minneapolis Rowan Writing Arts and our coterie of Sophomore Engineering Clinic 1 instructors were well represented at last week’s Council for Programs in Technical and Scientific Communication (CPTSC) annual conference held on the University of Minnesota campus in Minneapolis. Four of our colleagues – (from left in photo) Jude Miller, Grace Fillenwarth, Tim Donaldson, and Steve Royek – presented and conducted a panel discussion on “Creating Value Through Fostering Connections: Programmatic and Pedagogical Responses to Trends in Engineering” on the second morning of the three-day meeting. Grace spoke first and gave an overview of Rowan Writing Arts, our university’s Engineering program, and the Clinic writing courses that are team-taught by faculty from both departments; Steve presented on the theory and technique behind teamwork, team charters, and collaborative writing; Jude talked about resumes, cover letters, and the trend toward digital, web-based student portfolios and C.V.s; while Tim wrapped up with a look at boosting creativity in classrooms with out-of-the-box discussions and exercises. Click here for the full conference program, and to see our new Rowan Writing Arts advertisement (on page 18). Finally, for your future file: The CPTSC 2019 annual conference is scheduled to be held at West Chester (Pa.) University from (tentatively) Thursday, October 10 to Saturday, October 12.

Avoid Those Endless ‘Gesundheits;’ Get A Flu Shot While the sentiment behind the German language response to a sneeze – “gesundheit” – literally means “health,” it’s a phrase most folks would rather not hear if it means they’ve recently contracted the flu. It doesn’t matter if the bug came from your students, your family, or any other face-to-face social contact, the flu isn’t fun. It’s messy, you’re contagious, and it can keep you out of the classroom, if not home on the couch, for who knows how long. The Rowan Wellness Center at Winans Hall is holding flu shot clinics on campus for the rest of October at which faculty and staff, as well as students, can get vaccinated. Click here for more information or visit the Wellness Center home page for more details. Do you have a new publication, a reading, or any other event of interest coming up?

University Assembled, College Assembled Coming Up Soon What are Rowan’s plans for student housing and classrooms? Are big changes in store for the West Campus? What new initiatives and programs are in the works at the CCCA? Stay in the know on these and other issues by attending the Fall 2018 University Assembled and College Assembled programs later this month. First, this Friday, October 5, President Ali Houshmand will address the Rowan community at 2 p.m. in Tohill Auditorium at Bunce Hall. Then, just over two weeks later, on Monday, October 22, Dean Sandy Tweedie will discuss the latest news in our college at Bozorth Hall’s King Auditorium. Questions and comments are welcome and encouraged at both events. See you there! Queen and the Pharaohs: Treats For The Eyes and Ears The power of Rock ‘n’ Roll and the science of ancient Egypt combine to highlight the Fall 2018 schedule at Rowan’s Edelman Planetarium. These two new shows – “Laser Queen” and “Stars of the Pharaohs,” each an hour long – will run weekends this semester through mid-November. “Laser Queen” follows in the successful models of “Laser Floyd – The Dark Side of the Moon” and “Laser Beatles” by using the planetarium’s projection and sound systems to create what’s called an engaging audience experience. “Queen” can be seen Saturday evenings at 7 p.m. through November 17. “Stars of the Pharaohs” shows us how this early civilization used the skies to tell time, create calendars, and align structures. Actor John Rhys-Davis – of Indiana Jones and Lord of the Rings fame – narrates Pharaohs, which runs Saturdays at 5:30 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m. Admission to all Planetarium shows is $3 for Rowan students with ID, children 16 and younger, and senior citizens 60 or older, and $5 for adults and non-Rowan students.
