Eastern Awarded Grant to Help Redesign State High Schools

Eastern New Mexico University has been awarded a $700,000 grant to assist the New Mexico Public Education Department (PED) with school districts redesigning their high schools.

The goal, according to Frank Fort, coordinator of the new Career Technical Education Project, is to get New Mexico high schools to offer a rigorous college preparatory program of study using a career focus for all students.

“Half of New Mexico’s 89 school districts are in the process of redesigning their high schools,” said Mr. Fort, a 1995 ENMU graduate. The Career Technical and Workforce Education Bureau (CTWEB) of the PED was charged with heading up redesign efforts for New Mexico high schools.

The PED began hosting Career Pathways conferences three years ago in Albuquerque to discover what stages districts were in with their redesign efforts.

Then, over 125 individuals were selected to participate in the New Mexico First Town Hall on the high school initiative in the fall of 2004.

The meeting, according to Mr. Fort, generated a consensus document which the PED has used as a foundation for moving the state toward providing a value-add to the high school diploma.

“The office, which reports to Dr. Terry Ervin, chair of Family and Consumer Sciences and Agriculture, has taken on the job to ultimately help prepare student teachers for the redesigned schools that they are going to teach in,” said Mr. Fort.

The Career Clusters Model is a framework developed by the United States Department of Education to assist high schools in their redesign efforts. Career Clusters represent a nationwide effort to help schools ensure that learners get the knowledge and skills they need for multiple career choices by matching what is taught in the classroom to business and industry expectations.

The Career Cluster is a grouping of occupations and broad industries based on commonalities. The 16 career clusters provide an organizing tool for school, small learning communities, academies and magnet schools.

The new office, located on Cherry Street across from the president’s house, will provide:
• Professional Development for pre-service and current teachers
• Student leadership organization facilitation
• Technical assistance to high schools in the state in various stages of redesign using the Career Clusters Model

ENMU Accepting Students from Hurricane-Affected Areas

Eastern New Mexico University president Steven Gamble has announced that ENMU will accept college students displaced from their own colleges by Hurricane Katrina.

ENMU will extend the late registration deadline through Thursday, Sept. 8, to assist the students in enrolling. Faculty and staff will be available to advise students.

Most of the students would be temporarily enrolled in a non-degree status, but would be able to take courses equivalent to the ones at their own universities.

Interested students should call 1.800.FOR.ENMU, e-mail enrollment.services@enmu.edu, or click www.enmu.edu.

Eastern will also contact its own students from the affected areas to see if they need assistance or counseling.

ENMU Professor Describes Research on 'Work Migration and the Ancestral Puebloan Cultural Experiment'

Editor's Note: Several ENMU professors have received internal grants to further their research. Today, the Monday Memo looks at the work of Dr. Stephen Durand, professor of anthropology, on "Work Migration and the Ancestral Puebloan Cultural Experiment." The research described in the abstract below was also funded by a $15,000 grant from the Bureau of Land Management.

Abstract of Dr. Stephen Durand's Proposal

Many people have heard of Chaco Canyon in northwestern New Mexico, and Mesa Verde in southwestern Colorado. The spectacular remains at these National Parks have stirred the imagination of the scientific and lay community for over a century and a half. These places represent, to many, the peak of cultural development in the prehistoric Southwest.

Equally prominent in the pantheon of unsolved mysteries of the past are the ideas associated with the vanishing Anasazi. Indeed, the 12th and 13th centuries in the northern Southwest witnessed large scale regional abandonment of selected areas and were a period of substantial migration. By the 14th century, the pattern found at contact time began to be established.

Chaco looks so different to us centuries later, in part, because we do not have a good understanding of this period of flux between the Chacoan world and the late prehistoric/early historic world. This proposal seeks funding to supplement the continuation of a research project that will attempt to better understand this period of dramatic culture change in the northern Southwest.

ENMU Teachers Receive Awards to Work on Ph.D.s
by Shelley Gilmore
Communication Services

ENMU professors Trish Maguire, Claudia Bird and Kathleen Tayler are receiving $3,000 matching grants from Eastern to pursue their Ph.D.s in a cooperative program with the New Mexico Higher Education Department in the Minority Doctoral Assistance Loan-for-Service Program.

The purpose of the program is to address New Mexico’s teacher shortage by providing students with the financial means to complete or enhance their postsecondary teacher preparation education.

New Mexico residents enrolled in an undergraduate, graduate or alternative licensure teacher preparation program at a New Mexico college or university which has been approved by the New Mexico State Board of Education are eligible. The amount of the award is dependent upon the relative need of the student.

Ms. Maguire, assistant professor of computer information systems, says, “It is an incredible opportunity. The idea of this program is to promote women and minorities to work on their Ph.D. while teaching.” Ms. Maguire is working on her doctorate at New Mexico State University.

Ms. Bird is getting her doctorate via a distance education program from Nova Southeastern University in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. The instructor of communicative disorders says, “The Minority Doctoral Fellowship has helped me tremendously. There are very few opportunities for people in the Portales area or in New Mexico to gain a doctoral degree in communicative disorders. The Minority Doctoral Assistance Program has made it possible for me to continue my education.”

Ms. Tayler, instructor of reading education, is getting a doctorate in curriculum and instruction with an emphasis in language and literacy from Texas Tech University. "There is no way I could have afforded a Ph.D. program without the financial aid this grant provided," says Ms. Tayler. "It has given me an opportunity which, otherwise, would not have been available."

ENMU Graduate Named Dean of Business School at Ole Miss
by Helen Carroll
Communication Services

One of Eastern’s own has made it to the academic big leagues. Recently named the dean of the Business School at the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss), Dr. Brian Reithel began his college education at Eastern.

In 1985, Dr. Reithel received his bachelor of arts in computer information systems, then called business information systems. He continued his education at Texas Tech University where he earned both his MBA in 1988 and his Ph.d. in 1992.

"Dr. Reithel has a distinguished career in teaching, research and as an administrator," said Ole Miss chancellor Robert Khayat. "He played a key role in the success of the Commitment to Excellence Campaign that included the construction of Holman Hall (home of the business school). He was a member of the team that planned the installation of state of the art information technology equipment for the business school."

Dr. Reithel joined the faculty in 1991, where he was a professor of management information systems. During his career there, he has served in several capacities. Among them are associate vice chancellor for University Relations as well as serving as head of the business school’s Management Information Systems (MIS) programs. The Board of Trustees of State Institutions of Higher
Learning has approved his appointment as dean.

As well as holding several positions, Dr. Reithel has also won awards for Outstanding Teacher, MBA Teacher of the Year and Favorite Teacher in UM’s School of Business Administration.

In a recent telephone conversation, he recalled his days at Eastern. “I found a number of caring and passionate faculty who were devoted to delivering a high quality education.” He added that through the years he has had occasion to meet Dr. Gamble, and says, “Dr. Gamble is a great guy. Eastern is in good hands.”

Dr. Reithel has fond memories of ENMU and Eastern New Mexico. “I really enjoyed my time at Eastern, the university as well as the people and surrounding community. My experience there was a great one.”

Portales National Bank – University Branch Lunch Hours – The University Branch of the Portales National Bank is closed from 12-1 p.m. each day.

Message from ITS Regarding Use of Cell Phones in Emergencies – Recently, there have been several articles appearing in local newspapers and radio spots regarding emergency contact information stored on cellular phones. Last year a British paramedic came up with the idea, and because of the recent London bombings, the idea has swept through the country by e-mail. The idea already has the support of New Mexico law enforcement agencies.

In order to help emergency personnel locate next-of-kin and other emergency contacts for incapacitated victims of emergency situations, it is recommended that every mobile phone user place emergency contact information in their cellular phone’s phonebook under the heading “ICE”. Emergency personnel can quickly find names and numbers under that heading to make essential contacts and also to obtain information regarding medications the victim might be using. “ICE” stands for “In Case of Emergency” and emergency medical personnel will look for that entry as a new public awareness campaign is launched this month in this area.

Jan Elliott, executive director of Eastern New Mexico Emergency Medical Services, is encouraging residents of Portales and surrounding areas to “ICE” their cell phones. Many times, other forms of identification are carried by victims but do not provide the necessary information to contact relatives or other interested parties, resulting in delays of notification and needed services.
Consent is required for certain types of medical treatment and/or transportation of injured parties and the ICE program could speed up the process of obtaining that consent and possibly save a life.

According to officials at the State Attorney General’s office, there are no specific legal issues dealing with “ICE-ing” a mobile phone. By entering the ICE information into the phone, you are giving consent to emergency personnel to access it and obtain phone numbers of emergency contacts.

If you have questions regarding “ICE-ing” your phone, please contact Linda Hamrick at extension 2287. – submitted by Linda Hamrick


Number Changed for Employees to Make Long Distance Calls While Traveling – For the past three years, Eastern New Mexico University employees traveling outside of the local calling area could dial an 800 number and use their long distance authorization code and a four-digit PIN (Personal Identification Number) to make long distance calls. These calls would be billed to their department. On June 26 a new toll-free number will be activated for this purpose, eliminating the need to enter the PIN. After this date, the previous toll-free number will no longer be used. This toll-free service should only be used outside our local calling area.
To use the new toll-free access:

Dial 1.866.788.7016 and you will hear dial tone.

Dial * 6 * + authorization code + # (sign) + 6 + area code and phone number.
(This is the same dialing sequence that is used when you are on campus)

Charges for these calls will appear on your department bill.

If you have questions or need assistance, please contact Linda Hamrick at extension 2287 or Rick Bresler at extension 2265.

TechTips – Helpful Hints for using ENMU Technology (courtesy of ITS Computing)

Computing
Word series – Drop Cap
When you are writing a story, poem, or report, you can make the first letter of the paragraph larger than the rest of the text and drop it down a few lines. A drop cap is an effective way to jazz up documents, especially for student work that is posted in the classroom, around the building, or on the school Web site or that is published a literary book. Take a look at some books, magazines, and newspapers in the classroom or around the house. You'll notice that many publications use the drop cap.

1. Start Microsoft Word. Then either open a document that you've already created, or start a new one.
2. Select the first letter of a paragraph, and then select Drop Cap from the Format menu.
3. Select either Dropped or in margin.
4. Choose a different font if you want the letter to stand out even more from the surrounding text.
5. Decide how many lines you want this letter to drop, such as 3.
6. Control the distance from the text (0.1" works well), and then click OK.

Tip: Experiment with different fonts for the drop cap. Some fonts are really fancy and contain many twists that work nicely in a drop cap.

Outlook series – Do you often set up meetings for the same set of people? The Calendar group schedule in Microsoft Outlook makes it easy for you to see the combined schedules of a number of people or resources at a glance.
You can create and save multiple group schedules, each showing a group of people or resources. For example, one group schedule might contain all employees in a department. Another might contain all conference rooms in a building.
To create a group:
1. Click Calendar on the Folder List (or in the Outlook Shortcuts bar).
2. Click Schedules in the Advanced toolbar.
3. In the Group Schedules dialog box, click New.
4. Type a name for the new group schedule, and then click OK.
5. In the dialog box that appears, click the Add Others button, and then click either Add from Address Book or Add Public Folder.
6. Select the names or the public folder, and then click Save and Close.
To view the group calendar, select the group schedule you want to view, and then click Open.

DAT file version update – To check that your computer is up-to-date with the most current versions of virusscan software, locate the blue and white shield with a red “V” in it by your system clock on the bottom right side of your screen and click on it with the right mouse button. Then choose “About VirusScan Enterprise” in the pull-down box. There are two things to look for; one is the “Virus Definitions” which should be at least 4575 and the other is the “Scan Engine” which should be at 4.4.00 (4400). If either one is not displaying the above versions, please contact the Helpdesk at 562.4357 for assistance.

Telephony
New ENMU Employees:
Access Codes belonging to departing employees should never be “carried over” to new employees. New employees needing a long distance access code or voice mail setup may contact Linda Hamrick at extension 2287 for the necessary form. After the form is completed and signed by the Department Head, the employee may bring the form to UCC 103 and pick up the access code card and/or the Voice Mail instruction brochure. Access codes must be picked up by the employee; they cannot be sent through campus distribution.

For questions or help with dialing instructions, programming, or setting up voice mail, call Linda Hamrick at extension 2287.
