Cal U Conducts Day of Service

Putting Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s philosophyinto practice, 175 students took part in Cal U’s10th annual Day of Service on Feb. 5.

Volunteers from various campus clubs andorganizations tackled 26 service projects that assisted 21nonprofit organizations.

The national Day of Service is held annually on theMartin Luther King Jr. holiday. For the secondconsecutive year, the University’s extended winter breakshifted the event to the second week of the semester.

“Even though the semester is already under way, ourstudents want to do service work and help thecommunity,” said Diane Williams, director of theCenter for Civic Engagement, which coordinated theactivities.

“Their enthusiasm was clearly evident. All in all, itwas a pretty good day.”

A blood drive organized by Central Blood Bankcollected 38 units of blood — potentially enough to save114 lives — and bone marrow screenings wereconducted through the Be The Match Foundation.

In the Performance Center, students combinedcreativity with a desire to serve as they created nearly1,800 craft projects.

Area Students Compete atSixth Annual History Day

Speaker:‘Dare to BeAmazing’

Eric Kulikowski dared Cal U students tobe amazing during his lecture Feb. 5 inDuda Hall.

Using the acronym D.A.R.E., Kulikowskioutlined the keys to success in both businessand life.

He urged the audience to Define goals,Attack with a plan, Render decisions thatmatter and Embrace significance.

“As we grow older, sometimes we lose thatability to know how to get from having an ideato getting things done,” he said. “Having aplan of attack is how you get to be amazing.”

The presentation included motivationalvideo clips and inspirational stories aboutsuccessful people in business.

“Today really motivated me to controlwhatever I can in life,” said Lemar McFall, asophomore computer engineering major.“Every opportunity that you have, use it to getwhere you want to go.”

The most powerful story of thepresentation was Kulikowski’s story offollowing his own dreams.

“I always wanted to be astronaut when Iwas a child,” he said. “Even more specifically,I wanted to be a payload astronaut. So Icreated a plan of attack and went for thedream.”

Kulikowski’s dream came crashing downwhen his grades as a mechanical andaerospace engineer were not high enough toland him a job with the aerospace industrygiant Lockheed Martin.

Instead of giving up, he camped outside aLockheed Martin recruiter’s office. When astudent didn’t show up for a scheduledinterview, Kulikowksi was given 10 minutes toimpress the recruiter. He did just that.

“At that moment in my life, I had to makea decision to make myself significant,” he said.

Although Kulikowski never made it intospace, he did become a rocket scientist atLockheed Martin. He was responsible forengineering parts of rockets that flew intospace.

“His story showed me that I have to makemy own path and go get experience,” saidfreshman business major Jasmine Gonzalez.

“Even if you don’t get paid, you needexperience to help shape your plan of attack.”

Kulikowski left Lockheed Martin afterrealizing he had achieved most of his dreamsusing the D.A.R.E. method. He wanted tofulfill another dream by helping others becomeamazing, he said.

“Life doesn’t just happen; you have tomake it,” he told the audience.

“You have to play a role in it. You can’t justbe a passenger in life. Your life is happeningright now, so make it amazing. I dare you.”

More than 140 middle andhigh school students fromthe Sewickley Academy,

Belle Vernon Area, Central Christian,Charleroi, McGuffey, and Monessenschools competed at the sixth annualPrimary Sources History Day contestFeb. 4 in the Convocation Center’ssouth conference wing.

Sponsored by the Library ofCongress Teaching with PrimarySources program in collaborationwith the Department of History andPolitical Science, the event is modeledafter the National History Day™competition.

Dr. Michael Brna, director of CalU’s Teaching with Primary Sourcesprogram, said the campus event beganin 2008 with just three school districtsand 30 students.

Many of the Cal U History dayparticipants will move on to theregional competition, known as NHDPitt, which will be held March 2-3 atthe Senator John Heinz HistoryCenter in Pittsburgh.

“We are excited to present thisopportunity to come to Cal U for theday and present the work that youfind interesting and are passionateabout,” Brna said. “We encourageyou to take the feedback from thisday, go back and refine your projectsfor the regional event.”

This year’s National History Daytheme is “Turning Points in History:People, Ideas, Events.” Students werejudged on the exhibits, documentaries,performances, websites and historical

research papers they created tosupport the theme.

Judges and event volunteersincluded Cal U students from thedepartments of History and PoliticalScience and Education, as well ascurrent and retired educators andmembers of local historical societies.

Students from the McGuffeySchool District competed at Cal U forthe first time this year. Sixth-gradersColin Walters and Ivy Cole proudlydisplayed a website titled“McGuffey’s Eclectic Readers: ATurning Point in AmericanEducation.”

The site focused on WilliamHolmes McGuffey, who publishedThe Eclectic Readers in 1836. Thetextbook series taught children toread, and it is still in use today.

“We learned that (McGuffey)taught at age 14, so he was both agood teacher and a student,” saidWalters. “Researching him wasinteresting. We are excited to be hereand also to go to the event inPittsburgh.”

Accompanying the McGuffeystudents was longtime gifted-supportteacher Kelly McGuier, who currentlyis studying Arabic through Cal UGlobal Online.

“I like Cal U, and this is part ofwhy I try to bring our students here,”she said. “In addition to competing,it’s important for them to see andexperience a university setting, butoftentimes they just can’t get this kindof opportunity.”

Neill Peirce and Ben Clouse,eighth-graders at Sewickley Academy,began work on their exhibit byfocusing on Jackie Robinson. Buttheir research soon led them tolearning about other African-American athletes who broke thecolor barrier in their respective sports.

Athletes depicted in their exhibitincluded Pittsburgh native ChuckCooper, who in 1950 was the firstblack player drafted by the NationalBasketball Association; Willie O’Ree,the first black player in the NationalHockey League; and tennis greatArthur Ashe.

“Since it’s Black History Monthand we found out about so manyother athletes, we wanted to includethem,” said Pierce, who described theConvocation Center as “awesome.”

One of the judges was SteveRussell ’70, recently retiredsuperintendent of Belle Vernon AreaSchool District, who has served as aHistory Day judge at the local,regional and state levels. He explainedthat each participant had earned theopportunity to compete at Cal U bysucceeding in a school-based contest.

“This competition here (at Cal U)mirrors the regional competition. …It’s important that we judges areconsistent to help prepare thesestudents as much as possible,” Russellsaid.

“Those students who are fortunateenough to move on to the state(contest) are really good, becausethere’s a lot of strong competition.”

Sophomore Kaisha Aiken and junior AprilWeirich joined in the Day of Service activitiesfor the first time this year.

Aiken, a liberal arts major, helped to makepersonalized journals, and her sorority, AlphaKappa Alpha, added motivational phrases tocutout hearts for the American HeartAssociation.

“All the Greek organizations support theMLK Day of Service,” she said. “We are justdoing our part.”

Weirich, a psychology major and a first-year AmeriCorps student, kept a watchful eyeon the projects at three tables while she madecandy treats for the food pantry.

“I love doing volunteer work, and beingwith AmeriCorps provides a lot ofopportunities for us to do service projects,” shesaid. “Service work of any kind is important.”

Travis Miles, a senior in the parks andrecreation management program, said he wasimpressed by what he saw when he stopped atthe Performance Center.

“You have to admire our students forhelping,” he said. “They could just come uphere to hang around, but they are gettinginvolved and doing their part.”

Williams anticipates that the Day ofService will be just the start of a semester filledwith volunteer activities.

“Our students realize the need to give oftheir time throughout the year,” she said, “andwe’re looking to keep them busy.”

This spring the Office ofContinuous Improvement will beadministering the National

Survey of Student Engagement to arandom sampling of Cal U’s first- andsenior-year students.

The NSSE is administered by theIndiana University Center forPostsecondary Research in cooperationwith the Indiana University Center forSurvey Research at Indiana University-Bloomington. Through IUB, some CalU students will receive an invitation toparticipate in their campus e-mailboxes.

The survey is completed online. Thisimportant endeavor has been authorizedby Acting President Geraldine M.Jones, who urges all invited students toparticipate.

Feedback from past student surveyshas led Cal U to take steps that enhancestudent satisfaction with academics andcampus life. One example is theuniversity-wide “common hour,” whenno classes are held so students canattend meetings, convocations and othercampus-wide events.

“I encourage all students toparticipate in this important study,” saidActing President Jones. “The resultswill allow us to assess and improve the

quality of our academic offerings, aswell as the value of each and everystudent’s diploma upon graduation.”

The NSSE survey is short and easyfor students to complete. It asksundergraduates about their interactionswith educationally important activitiesand groups.

More than 1,000 four-year collegesand universities in the United Statesand Canada have used the NSSE tobetter understand the extent to whichstudents and institutions are engaging ineffective teaching and learningactivities, and to develop programs andpractices that foster student

engagement. The results provide a“snapshot” of how undergraduatesspend their time and what they gainfrom attending college.

Institutions will use their data toidentify aspects of the undergraduateexperience, inside and outside theclassroom that can be improved throughchanges in policies and practices.

The information is also intended foruse by prospective college students,their parents, college counselors,academic advisers, institutional researchofficers and researchers in learningmore about how students spend theirtime at different colleges anduniversities and what they gain fromtheir experiences.

By the end of this month, NSSEinvitations will be sent to students’University e-mail addresses. IUB willsend follow-up e-mails to the studentsthrough early April, and Web surveyadministration will close June 1.

After IUB analyzes the NSSE data,the 2013 reports will be sent toparticipating universities. Results shouldbe available in August.

For more information about the NSSEsurvey, contact Bruce Barnhart, actingprovost and vice president for AcademicAffairs, at 724-938-1673.
