Jim Sernoe, Chair of Mass Communication, received the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication Small Programs Interest Group Dalton-Landon Foundation Award for Service at the 100th annual AEJMC conference in Chicago on August 11.

Page 4

Toward Both Journalism and PR Students.” Additionally, Sernoe was one of 39 faculty selected nationally to attend the annual International Radio-TV Society faculty seminar.

Dittika Gupta and Suzanne Lindt of the West College of Education in collaboration with their colleague at Appalachian State University, Diana Moss, published an article “Chewing Your Way to Understanding” in Ohio Journal of School Mathematics (Vol 76, Issue 2). This paper explains how fourth- and fifth-grade students were presented with a real-world mathematical task that was engaging, hands-on, and promoted reasoning and problem solving. The authors share details of the activity and student struggles, reasoning, and understanding resulting from mathematical problem solving from the activity.

Dittika Gupta also published an article titled “Hooking Students to Functions: Giving Fun Context to Mathematical Vocabulary” in the journal Texas Math Teacher Spring/Summer 2017 issue. The article is about using the class “Seven Up” game to teach function vocabulary in a fun contextual way to students.

Custodians Debbie Villarreal and Jorge Jordan were presented with the Star Award in late summer. From Villarreal’s nomination: “Debbie has been with MSU since January 2009; she has always done a great job. Debbie not only goes above and beyond in her daily duties, but she has helped Housing with all the linens that had to be washed this summer. If it had not been for her hard work and positive outlook on teamwork, the bedding might still not all be washed. She puts the ‘T’ into Teamwork. We all appreciate Debbie very much for everything she does.”

Jordan’s nomination read, “Jorge started working for MSU at the beginning of this year. Jorge may not be known by many due to the shift he works, but he does so much for the Wellness Center. There are always compliments on Jorge’s work and punctuality. He takes pride in his work and it shows. Anything that is asked of him, he does with no problems and with a smile. He is very cordial to his co-workers and the other employees at the Wellness Center. The Wellness Center, as well as MSU, is very glad to have someone like him working for them.”

The award recognizes Facilities Services employees who take pride in their work and give outstanding service to campus. Villarreal and Jordan were recognized with a certificate posted in their work space as well as a unique copper mustang cutout that may be displayed on desks and/or in the Daniel Building front office.
