SALISBURY, MD---黑料网 celebrates the following recent administration, faculty and student achievements:
Olmstead Publishes in Diversity & Democracy
Dr. Karen Olmstead, SU provost and senior vice president of academic affairs, spotlighted the University’s civic engagement initiative in the most recent edition of Diversity & Democracy, published by the Association of American Colleges and Universities.
The article “Maryland’s Formula: Civic Education and Engagement Drive Democratic Culture,” authored by Olmstead and Dr. Nancy Shapiro, University System of Maryland (USM) associate vice chancellor for education and outreach, focused on the integration of civic learning at USM campuses.
Wagner Releases New Textbook
Dr. Diana Wagner, professor of education leadership, recently published Outdoor Education Leadership with Kendall Hunt Publishing. The foundational text introduces students to the field, including learning theory, leader theory and ethics, and risk management.
"The field of outdoor education has expanded vastly in the last 20 years,” Wagner said. “The profession really needed a textbook that reflects the current state of outdoor education and which examines important contemporary issues of leadership and inclusion."
Wagner’s Outdoor Education Leadership class at SU is the first to use the new text. The book is available in electronic form at www.kendallhunt.com.
Meashey earns Out to Innovate Scholarship
Jay Meashey, a senior urban and regional planning and political science major from Berlin, MD, recently earned the National Organization of Gay and Lesbian Scientists and Technical Professionals’ $3,000 Out to Innovate Undergraduate Scholarship.
“The Out to Innovate scholarship from NOGLSTP means so much to me,” he said. “It is a recognition of commitment to learning and to service for our community – which I like to think of as our family. My technical education in urban planning is informed by my experience as an out gay man. My personal background equips me to be a more nuanced, sensitive, and aware planner, and to be an ally to other communities that have experienced historical exclusion or marginalization in the area of planning.”
Pursuing his degree after several years in the workforce, Meashey plans to pursue a career in city planning.
MASMI Students Attend Virtual Career Fair
Students in SU’s Mid-Atlantic Sales and Marketing Institute (MASMI) recently attended a virtual career fair. More than 30 companies were represented at the event, which also included employer and student elevator pitch competitions.
