Remarks from President Gamble at Graduation About Recipients of Presidential Excellence Awards

Dr. Nina Bjornsson – Presidential Award for Excellence in Advising

"Dr. Bjornsson, assistant professor of English and Graduate Coordinator in the Department of Languages and Literature, has been involved in all levels of advising during her six years at ENMU. For her, advising has been a natural extension of teaching and an integral part of ensuring student success.

" As Graduate Coordinator she has the responsibility of advising all of the program’s Masters’ level students, and she has served as Thesis Chair of the lion’s share of our recent graduates. Not surprisingly, she had demonstrated her commitment to 'go the extra mile' by serving as an advisor for new students in ENMU’s Advising Center. In each of these roles, Dr. Bjornsson has been a model of excellent advising and commitment to student success."

Dr. Bill Brunsen – Presidential Award for Excellence in Service

"Dr. Brunsen is well known across campus for his service activities in his 18 years at Eastern. Faculty Senate president multiple times, he has also served as a department chair, associate dean or graduate coordinator in the College of Business for 14 of his 18 years at Eastern New Mexico University. On the behalf of the college, he has also chaired the Recruiting Committee and has served as coordinator of all internship activities.

"Dr. Brunsen has also been active in his professional associations and the community. He served for three years as president of Delta Mu Delta, the business honor society. Dr. Brunsen’s extensive community activity includes serving as a board member of the Roosevelt County Chapter of the American Red Cross, and, more importantly, as a member of the disaster relief team where he would go out and provide immediate relief to victims of house fires. In all areas he has a reputation for being well prepared, holding everyone to high standards, and being a tireless worker."

Mr. Dustin Seifert – Presidential Award for Excellence in Teaching

"One student who recommended Mr. Seifert for the excellence in teaching award wrote, 'Dustin Seifert, as a teacher, is the model of everything I desire to become as a future educator. His refined communication skills, open-minded cooperation with other faculty and administration and a tireless work ethic make him a consummate educator.'

"This sentiment was echoed by a colleague who observed: 'Dustin has exceeded his colleagues in his passion for teaching and his extraordinary ability to communicate information in the most understandable and organized manner.'

”Since his arrival at Eastern, Dustin Seifert has excelled not only in front of his ensembles but also in the classroom. In addition to teaching his music classes, he has, for four of his five years at Eastern, taught a freshmen seminar course because he 'enjoys interacting with new students, keeping current with regard to social changes, and building the ENMU family.' Overall student evaluations of Mr. Seifert’s teaching have been among the highest in his department, and rightly so."

Dr. Michael Shaughnessy – Presidential Award for Excellence in Scholarship

"A professor in Educational Studies and Special Education, Dr. Michael Shaughnessy has served the university and College of Education and Technology since 1983. He received his doctorate from the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, Nebraska. Since his initial employment, Dr. Shaughnessy has consistently contributed research and literature in his discipline of special education.

"Dr. Shaughnessy is currently Consultant Editor of Gifted Education International and on the Editorial Board of Educational Psychology Review. He has done post-doctoral work in special education at Texas Tech in Lubbock and is currently doing post-doctoral work in special education through George Washington University.

He serves the State of New Mexico on the Governor’s Traumatic Brain Injury Advisory Council and The Gifted Education Advisory Board. Dr. Shaughnessy is also a columnist for Education News.org, the number one rated internet site for education."

University Police Officer Completes Academy – The Eastern New Mexico University Police Department is proud to announce to the campus community that Officer Javier Sanchez has completed Police Officer Certification through the New Mexico Law Enforcement Academy. Officer Sanchez graduated from the twenty-week program on May 19 at a ceremony in Santa Fe.

Several family members as well as department representatives were on hand to offer their congratulations to Officer Sanchez as he completed this difficult task. Officer Sanchez demonstrated his leadership ability throughout the academy, having been selected as one of four Squad Leaders, an honor bestowed upon him by his fellow cadets. This is an honor reserved for a select few each academy class. This accomplishment by Officer Sanchez represents the university in a very positive light with other agencies throughout the state.

At the ceremony, Basic Training Bureau Chief Beverly Rodriguez said that Officer Sanchez is an asset to Law Enforcement in New Mexico. She said his skills, abilities and personality will be of great benefit to the University Police Department.

The University Police Department is glad to have Officer Sanchez re-join the rest of the staff in our commitment to provide quality law enforcement service to the campus community. As you see Officer Sanchez around campus, join us in congratulating him on this accomplishment. – written by Michael Pitts

Most ENMU-Portales Employees Taking Off Friday Afternoon, May 27 – Governor Richardson asked all state agencies to give employees four hours off work in memory of Pope John Paul II. The University excused those employees who wanted to take off the day of the Pope's funeral and established that the remainder of the employees would be given four hours off in May.

Those hours will be taken on Friday, May 27, from 1-5 p.m. However, all offices that provide direct services to students need to remain open. Those employees will be allowed to take the four hours off at another time with approval of their supervisors. Any employee who already observed those hours will be expected to be at work.

All offices should check with their vice presidents to see if their office needs to remain open.

ENMU Closed for Memorial Day on Monday, May 30 – Eastern New Mexico University will be closed for Memorial Day on Monday, May 30. The campus will reopen on Tuesday, May 31.

Because the campus is normally open from 8 a.m. to noon on Fridays, the campus will be essentially closed on May 27, with the exception of the Child Development Center.

Areas normally open on Saturday and Sunday will be open on May 28 and 29. The pool will open for the summer on May 28.

The Roswell campus will be closed on Monday, May 30, in observance of Memorial Day and no classes will be held. Classes will resume and the campus will re-open on Tuesday, May 31.

Greyhound Football Team Gives Back to Community – Since January Eastern’s football team has been voluntarily doing community service throughout the city. Ninety football players were split into teams of 10 with a captain and a lieutenant to compete in the Spring Challenge.

Each team acquired points by assisting the community in various ways and receiving a certain amount of points. The groups went around the community doing good deeds, including: assisting the P.E. class at Lindsey Middle School, mowing lawns, washing cars, judging the Spanish Fair at ENMU, doing various jobs at the Baptist Children’s Home, working in the Community Action Day and assisting Dr. Megan Chilson with National P.E. day.

Head Coach Mark Ribaudo says, “Giving to the community is very rewarding. We consider ourselves a part of the community and want to help in anyway we can.''

Coach Ribaudo adds, “The kids were very creative about ideas to help the community and we are very proud of them.”

The three top teams in points were cooked a steak dinner donated by Scott, Don and Steve Davis. The rest of the groups did various duties around the fieldhouse and weight room.

The Portales City Council and the Mayor recognized the football team for their efforts and rewarded them with a certificate. – written by Shelley Gilmore

Employee Briefs

Gillian Andersen, an instructor in the Department of Languages and Literature, was recently accepted into the doctoral program in Technical Communications at Texas Tech University. As the first on-line technical communications Ph.D. program ever offered, the TTU program received applications from around the world.

Dr. Donald Elder III, professor and chair of history, is speaking to the U.S. History students in B. J. Mitchell's classes at Portales Junior High School about his Civil War books on May 23. B. J. is an ENMU grad. Dr. Elder also spoke to the Athletic Banquet at Elida High School.

Message from President Regarding Realignments – After reviewing the comments that were expressed by faculty and staff regarding the realignment proposed in the e-mail dated April 19, 2005, I have decided to recommend the following to the Board of Regents, effective July 1, 2005.

1. Campus Police - Change in Reporting Line: From VPSA to VPBA
2. KENW - Change in Reporting Line: From VPAA to VPURES
3. Athletics - Change in Reporting Line: From President to VPSA
4. Faculty Resource Center - Change in Reporting Line: From Library to Extended Learning
5. Ruidoso Campus - Change in Reporting Line: From VPAA to President
6. Grants and Contracts - Change in Reporting Line: From President to Executive Director, Planning and Analysis
7. Retention Initiative - Office of Responsibility: Executive Director, Planning and Analysis

It was decided to maintain Media Services' reporting relationship to the Library, but to move the responsibilities for the "smart" classrooms and other IT - related items to Information Technology Services.

Advising and Freshman Studies will move to the Retention Initiative which will report to Dr. Patrice Caldwell. A new position entitled director of Retention Activities has been established to coordinate initiatives aimed at improving student success.

The most comments received were in regard to the move of Grants and Contracts from the president to the executive director of Planning and Analysis. I believe the location of the grants coordinator is much less important than the quality and dedication of the person who will hold the position. Thus far, our search for the grants coordinator has been unsuccessful, but we will attempt to offer good service through people in the Business Office until we can employ the right person. Please be assured that the area of grants and contracts will continue to be a priority at the University.

I thank those of you who offered input. Please call me if you have further questions or comments.

Roswell News

ENMU-Roswell Hosts ParaRescue Students
by Donna Gutierrez
ENMU-Roswell

United States Air Force ParaRescue students from Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque took part in a simulated mass casualty incident in ‘battlefield’ conditions (smoke, pyrotechnics) on Wednesday, May 18, in the field behind the Occupational Technology Center at ENMU-Roswell.

The incident involved an airplane crash at an air show with multiple "victims." The "victims" were cadets with the New Mexico Youth ChalleNGe Academy, who are currently taking EMT-Basic classes. Members of the Heaton family, which includes three children, also participated as "victims." The PJ students were evaluated on their plan of action in treating the victims and how well they communicated and executed their plan.

Background:

Since January, the “PJ” students have been enrolled in an accelerated paramedic training program taught by ENMU-Roswell Emergency Medical Services (EMS) instructors.

The PJ’s will travel to Orlando, Fla., soon for six weeks of intense field and clinical practicum. They will return to Roswell for two weeks of review classes to prepare for the National Registry of EMT Paramedic exam. After earning their certification, they will then return to Kirtland Air Force Base to complete an apprenticeship period. The students will then be assigned to one of only six pararescue military units in the country. They will then be deployed to support troop missions fighting the war on terrorism in places like Afghanistan and Iraq. Those missions will include rescuing and caring for pilots and soldiers who fall behind enemy lines and providing medical treatment to civilians.

This unique consortium arrangement was completed in 2002 to allow ENMU-Roswell to provide sponsorship to the U.S. Air Force ParaRescue Paramedic Program at Kirtland Air Force Base. It is the first of its kind between a military entity and an educational institution.

Summer/Fall Class Schedules Available – Class schedules for the 2005 summer and fall semesters at ENMU-Roswell are available at the following locations: ENMU-Roswell, Chaves County Career Center in the Bank of America building (ninth floor); Hastings Books, Music and Video; NMMI (Toles Learning Center); NM Department of Labor; NM Income Support Division; Roswell Public Library; Wal-Mart; K-Mart; Target; Roswell Racquet Club; Blockbuster Video; Counseling Associates; Hispano Chamber of Commerce Visitors’ Center; Roswell Chamber of Commerce; Roswell Adult Center; Office Max; Roswell High School; Goddard High School; University High School and Christmas By Krebs.
