 Arizona Gets the Heat!
And we're not just talking about the fast-approaching summer. You know we've been in the news a lot lately. Whatever side you land on about recent issues in our state, there's one thing we can all agree on: The heat is on.
Experts at the College of Education often are called upon to present research about these issues to the media. Read on to find out more, but first, we want to congratulate our new College of Education graduates!

Milem | When producers from the Dave Ross Show out of Seattle called the College of Education for input on the immigration law and a ban on ethnicity studies, we knew Associate Dean and Professor Jeffrey Milem could address the controversial topics. Take a listen.

ASU President Michael Crow Is Final Speaker in College of Education Lecture Series
The Higher Education lecture series, Higher Education and the New Economy: Crisis or Opportunity, drew a range of academic, business, and policy leaders to talk about the state of higher education within the context of the economic recession. The series ended last month with three speakers.
Luna | April 8Helios Education Foundation President and CEO Paul J. Luna and Flinn Foundation President and CEO Jack B. Jewett spoke about the need to engage more people in civic leadership in Arizona. In speaking to an audience of about 50 people, both said Arizona needs a strong voice in support of education at the K-12 and higher education levels and education-focused visionaries.
Flores | April 15Increasingly, the nation's community college system is being asked to be all things to all people, which is creating compounding difficulties for institutions, said Pima Community College Chancellor Roy Flores. In speaking to an audience of about 60 people, Flores said higher education institutions cannot meet the challenge alone of educating the nation's students. He urged for support from organizations, libraries, and the K-12 sector. "We need a community-wide dialogue," one that gets beyond the town halls, he said.
Crow | April 29
Arizona State University President Michael Crow detailed the "new American university," a model ASU has worked to institute for the last eight years. Such a model enables the institution to be more responsive to demands, more connected to the community, and more innovative in its teaching, research, and service. "We think the state has been irresponsible by cutting the universities to the level they have cut. OK, they cut," Crow said. "You can cry about it all you want. It won't bring it back tomorrow, but you have to think about ways to improve the institution."

Disability & Psychoeducational Studies
Bauman |
Associate Professor Sheri Bauman was interviewed about bullying problems for overweight children on Phoenix's Good Morning Arizona. Watch it here.
What began as a conference to address the issues that Aboriginal women with disabilities face resulted in a three-part book set about people around the world who are living with disabilities. Associate Professor Charlene M. Kampfe authored Functional and Psychosocial Aspects of Late-Onset Hearing Loss.
Kampfe |
Additionally, Kampfe co-authored Disability in Kenya: A Situational Analysis and Responses: Practice, Legal, and Political Frameworks with graduate students Edward O. Manyibe, George I. Mamboleo, and George C. T. Mugoya.
Kampfe said she and her co-authors sought to provide practical suggestions for individuals working with people with disabilities -- whether it be family, friends, and practitioners, or individuals offering international aid. Here's more.
Manyibe and Mamboleo have since graduated from the UA's rehabilitation counseling program, and Mugoya is a doctoral student in the program.
Mugoya also was awarded second place in a student paper competition. He presented his paper, Reducing the Use of PRN Medication in In-Patient Psychiatric Hospitals, at the International Association of Rehabilitation Professionals conference in Scottsdale.
Rehabilitation student Lisa Carver received a scholarship to attend the National Network to End Domestic Violence Women of Color Leadership Policy Scholarship Program. This scholarship is designed for women of color working in domestic violence so they can participate in NNEDV Advocacy Day activities in Washington, D.C., in June. Lisa will receive training in advocacy, then visit Senate and House staff regarding the issue of domestic violence. NNEDV funded 15 women of color to attend the 2010 Advocacy Day events.
