WHATS INSIDE

Student SpotlightThe military changed me. It gave me a lotof discipline. Im very organized and goodwith my time management, says Ryan Pitts,a student at UNH Manchester. Pitts servedtwo tours of duty in Afghanistan with theUS Army as a paratrooper before becomingwounded in combat. After nearly a yearof rehabilitation at Walter Reed MedicalCenter, Pitts returned home to MontVernon, NH in 2009 and decided it wastime to return to school.

Now a junior in the business program,Pitts hard work and focus on his studieshave paid off with a near perfect 4.0 gradepoint average. I kind of coasted throughhigh school and didnt apply myself. Incollege Ive really applied myself and school

is a priority. Hes helping others learnhow to do the same in his role as a PeerAssistance Leader (PAL) in the First YearSeminar program and a tutor in the Centerfor Academic Enrichment. Pitts says thelearning hasnt been a one-way street,however. He credits the PAL program forprogress hes made with his interpersonalcommunication skills.

Pitts has enjoyed his experience at thecollege, both in and out of the classroom.Everyone who works here seems reallydedicated to their jobs and wants to makethe institution a better place. That isinspiring to me, he said. He also loves thesmall classes and one-on-one interactionstudents can have with faculty. Theres

lots of support on campus to help studentssucceed, he says. Pitts will graduate in thespring of 2013 and is considering pursuinga graduate degree.

Teacher EducationWritten by Lauren Girolimon,

Graduate Assistant, UNH Manchester

Teacher Education Program

Margaret Pobywajlo, former directorof UNH Manchesters Center forAcademic Enrichment, joined the

universitys Education Departmentwhere she will teach HumanDevelopment and Learning (EDUC801). She brings with her a wide rangeof classroom experiences and a passionfor diversity.

She explains, I became interested inissues of racial discrimination whenI was an 8th grader in California, andI wrote my first research paper onthat topic. Ive always felt compelledto support the underdog or themarginalized persons. ProfessorPobywajlo became an active advocate ofequal opportunity laws and later taughtin Hawaii and Sacramento where thestudent body was highly diverse.

She became more interested in theimportance of multicultural educationas she noticed the number of Englishas a Second Language (ESOL) studentsincreasing. For practical and ethicalreasons, she felt that UNH Manchesterneeded to begin offering classes andservices for ESOL students, so shestarted the ESOL summer programin 1997. The program has grown eachyear, with the population of ESOLstudents reflecting the current influxof immigrants and refugees arriving insouthern NH.

Professor Pobywajlo offers someimportant advice to prospectivestudents. The UNH EducationDepartment stresses reflective practice,which I value a lot. Prospective teachercandidates who are open to havingtheir views challenged and are able to

tolerate some uncertainty will have anadvantage over those who might holdsome rigid views about teaching andlearning.

Contact Pam Burbank at 641-4163 orLauren Girolimon at 641-4318 in theEducation Office for more informationabout ESOL Certification and theTeacher Education Program at UNHManchester.

Slow FoodThe catchphrase slow food appears to be gaining momentum rather quickly (punintended). But what exactly does slow food mean? The folks at Slow Food USAconsider it foods that are Good, Clean and Fair. Read on

Good: The word good can mean a lot of things to a lot of people. For Slow Food,the idea of good means enjoying delicious food created with care from healthyplants and animals. The pleasures of good food can also help to build communityand celebrate culture and regional diversity.

Clean: When we talk about clean food, we are talking about nutritious food that isas good for the planet as it is for our bodies. It is grown and harvested with methodsthat have a positive impact on our local ecosystems and promotes biodiversity.

Fair: We believe that food is a universal right. Food that is fair should be accessibleto all, regardless of income, and produced by people who are treated with dignityand justly compensated for their labor.

Learn more about the slow food movement and local eats at the upcoming SidoreLecture, Renewing Americas Food Traditions: Slow Food, Local Food, andBackyard Diversity, on Wednesday, November 16 at 6:30 p.m. in the third floorauditorium. Admission is free.
