THE FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY

COLLEGE OF HUMAN SCIENCES

Message from the Dean Billie Collier

We bring another academic year to a close celebrating the activities,

honors and awards in the College of Human Sciences. Our faculty have

been recognized on campus and nationally and our students continue

to achieve much success. Dr. Shridhar Sathe received FSU’s highest

research honor, being named a Lawton Professor. Innovative alums,

faculty and students contribute in diverse ways to the entrepreneurial

spirit that is being nurtured at FSU as part of its Big Ideas. These Ideas,

that include transformative experiences for students, investing in

faculty, and improving the public good, are driving academic and

development efforts at the University and in the College. You will be

hearing more about them as we move forward.

Best wishes for your summer.

Billie Collier

Development Update Murray Smith

As we end the academic year, we look back and remember the

successes of the past few semesters. Students are moving on to

greater and better things, and you have many reasons to be proud of

the impact you are making on our students’ lives every day. Because

of you, The Great Give was a huge success, not just for the College

but also the University. In recent months, donors have focused their

efforts towards assisting honors students in the College. Your

support is vital in order to remain competitive for the best and

brightest students and keep Florida State University as the vanguard of Human Sciences

education nationally.

Your continued financial support is sincerely appreciated. If you haven’t done so already, we

hope you will consider making a gift to the College of Human Sciences. There are a variety of

levels at which to give and the need is endless. For more information on how you can help,

Dr. Lenore McWey receives Guardian of the Flame Award.

Dr. Lenore McWey , Associate Professor in FCS, is the 2013 recipient of the Guardian of the

Flame Faculty Award for the College. Created by the Burning Spear Organization in 2008, this

faculty award fosters better relationships between faculty and students at FSU. It has become a

true symbol of excellence by recognizing an outstanding faculty member in each college annually

for his or her dedication to the University and commitment to the advancement of Florida State

University as a leading institution of higher education.

“It was a pleasure meeting and talking with many of the student members of the organization

during the awards ceremony and I was very impressed by their accomplishments and aims. I feel

truly honored to be a recipient of this award,” said McWey.

McWey, who has taught at FSU for seven years, was also named FSU’s Teacher of the Year in 2012.

AWARDS AND RECOGNITIONS

Dr. Shridhar Sathe has been

named the Robert O. Lawton

Professor for 2013—2014 which is

FSU’s highest faculty honor. It is

named in honor of the late Vice

President for Academic Affairs

Robert O. Lawton, a longtime and

highly esteemed member of the

Florida State faculty, who died in

1980.

Sathe is recognized for his

international visibility in food

science, his innovative research on

identifying allergens in beans and

tree nuts, and for his lasting legacy

of many successful and grateful

students. A Fellow of the Institute of

Food Technologists and the World

Innovation Foundation, he has

received wide acclaim for his

scientific contributions. He joins a

distinguished list of scholars from

across the campus and is the first

Human Sciences awardee since Dr.

Betty Watts in 1965-66.

“Dr. Sathe’s research has improved

the public good by furthering our

understanding of food safety issues

and as a result has made Florida

State prominent in the world of

food science,” said Dean Billie

Collier. “We are so honored to have

Dr. Sathe as part of our

distinguished faculty.”

Sathe, who joined FSU faculty in

1988, was named the D.K. Salunkhe

Professor of Food Science in 2001

and a Distinguished Research

Professor in 2006.

“This peer recognition is an honor

and is a very humbling experience,”

Sathe said. “I want to thank my

students, collaborators, colleagues,

friends and family members for

their support. I hope to continue to

contribute to human progress,

health and well-being.”

A leading researcher in food

biochemistry, Sathe has spent his

career studying the molecular

properties and workings of food

proteins—particularly those of

legumes and edible tree nuts. The

methods Sathe developed to isolate,

purify and characterize the

properties of edible seed proteins

are used by researchers around the

world.

Sathe has written or co-written

more than 130 refereed articles, 157

abstracts and 26 book chapters, and

co-edited two books. According to

the Institute of Scientific

Information his work has been cited

more than 3,300 times by other

researchers making him one of the

world’s most-citied researchers in

the field of agricultural sciences. He

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT Page 4

Jake Nicholson, a Junior Exercise Science, founded and coaches the Pace Secondary school basketball

team. He has been coaching the “Pace Pirates” since the end of his

Freshman year here at FSU, and this spring concludes their first-ever

basketball season.

The middle school young men he coaches are at Pace Secondary, a

Leon County school serving middle and high school students with emotional and

behavioral problems that have interfered with their ability to be successful in a regular

school setting. On the court, however, Nicholson stated that when he made the

program fun and engaging, he found that they were eager to learn and excited to play

as a team. “As a coach,” Nicholson stated, “I expect more out of them and they deliver.

Like my father tells me and I tell them; you deliver and you will succeed”. As a result,

his team had their first season of real basketball games. Their jerseys were donated by

Nicholson’s fraternity, Sigma Phi Epsilon, and their shoes by the Leon County Sheriff’s

Resource Officers department. While their first season was not fraught with victory, the young players did their best,

were smiling and working together. He praised their hard work, saying it has been an “amazing experience”.

Nicholson’s goals for the team are to get them a successful transition into Leon County Schools and to keep building what

he started. He is looking into a fundraiser for an indoor gym, and an assistant coach to join him so the program can

continue after his last year here at FSU.

Nicholson’s plans for the future involve medical school with a focus in primary care. He stated that he joined the College

of Human Sciences because he “enjoyed the personality of the program and enjoys interacting with people” and would

like to continue on that track. He was inducted into the Glenn Society this year, which recognizes students who have

exhibited outstanding leadership and service while maintaining a high level of academic achievement. He is currently in a

Directed Individual Study with Dr. Arturo Figueroa and hopes to gain Honors in the Major in his last year.

Jeff Pelage, masters student in Retail, Merchandising and Product Development, has had a busy first year! Pelage won a

gold medal in the Atlantic Coast Conference Men’s Track and Field Championships’ discus throwing

competition, with a 181.5 feet (55.89 m) throw, as well as assisting his

team to winning the Conference. He was also presented the Golden Nole

award.

When asked about his success, Pelage says that he could not have done so

well his first year without his professors. He is a teaching assistant to two

professors, Dr. Judy Miler, and Ms. Gail Steed, and works closely with Dr.

Jeanne Heitmeyer and Dr. Mary Ann Moore for advising. He is looking for-

ward to teaching in the fall, and praises coming to school as well as going

to practice. “How do you get people out of bed? By enjoying what you do”,

he said.

Pelage also says that his success on the field was built from the relationship he developed with his

coaches. He participated in discus throwing in high school, and was thrilled when FSU welcomed

him to the team. His first priority, however, is academics. Pelage states that he “does well athleti-

cally because [he] does well academically”, and his degree is most important. Pelage is on track to

graduate in December, and hopes to keep working in retail or in the hospitality field. He will begin

an internship over the summer with Kohl’s Department stores.

CHS Sweeps AATCC Millennial Marketing Award

The American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists, the world’s leading

textile professional association serving the textile industry since 1921, announced

the winners of its Millennial Marketing Award, a juried, invitation-only, university

marketing competition for students studying retail merchandising and marketing.

All of the winners are students attending Florida State University in classes led by

Dr. Jeanne Heitmeyer, RMPD Associate Professor.

Winning teams were:

Delia Bledsoe, Karolina Borchert-Hunter, Brittany McNally, Samantha Tira and Natasha Salman, first place.

Allison Bouis, Beca Branch, Kyle Strype and Erika Akerley, second place.

Taylor Bowen, Ashley Reddick, Jeff Pelage, and Changhyun Nam, honorable mention.

In addition, the Department is being awarded $1,250 and Heitmeyer will receive an honorarium.

“Students are our future,” says John Y. “Jack” Daniels, AATCC Executive Vice president. “AATCC is proud to offer meaningful

opportunities to allow students and their professors to contribute and participate in many of our Association’s activities.

AATCC provides exceptional avenues for students to hone their technical skills, develop professional contacts, and begin

their transition to professional careers.”

The purpose of the contest was to design an effective membership development/marketing program targeted specifically at

the millennial demographic (students and young professionals age 31 and under). The students who participated were asked

to identify strategies and methodologies for attracting student members and building student chapters as well as strategies

for retaining students as AATCC members after graduation.

“We were pleased by the quality of the entries and especially want to thank AATCC student chapter advisor, Kay Grise, Flori-

da State University,” says Maria Thiry, Publications and Membership Director at AATCC. “We are also grateful to Jeanne

Heitmeyer for shepherding her students through a challenging contest to a successful conclusion.

Ms. Sarah Gladwin has joined the Office of the Dean as a Media Specialist and will be working closely with alumni and

faculty to raise awareness of events and accomplishments in the College. A native of Tallahassee, she

received her BS in Anthropology from FSU in 2009. She spent a summer abroad on an archaeological dig

in Italy before beginning her masters in Classical Civilizations with a dual enrollment in the Museum

Certification program and graduating in 2012. Before joining CHS, Gladwin worked in The Office of the

Dean of the College of Visual Arts, Theatre and Dance managing the FEAS database and then with the

University Business Administrators program here at FSU as an Apprentice.

Ms. Kristen Lawrance joined RMPD in March 2013 as the Academic Support Assistant in March 2013.

She was raised in LaGrange, Georgia and graduated from the University of West Georgia in 2011 with a BS

in Sociology and a minor in Psychology. Though she is not from Tallahassee, her extended family has lived

here since moving from the Panama Canal Zone in the early 60s.

Mullis and former students

Dr. Jeanne Heitmeyer

Dr. Doris Abood

Dr. Jeanne Heitmeyer has been a mainstay in RMPD, teaching countless

numbers of students the basics of retailing. She won University

Teaching Awards in 1988 and 1997 and was nominated for the

University Distinguished Teacher this year. Her students remem-

ber her fondly as a caring, approachable, and knowledge-able

instructor who was always there for them.

Heitmeyer is well known in academic retailing circles, particularly

within the International Textile and Apparel Association (ITAA) and

the American Collegiate Retailing Association (ACRA). She has

consistently presented her scholarly work in these venues and

published in widely-read journals. She is best known for her work in merchandising outlets and shopping preferences.

Perhaps Heitmeyer’s greatest contribution has been her direction of the graduate program in RMPD. As Graduate

Coordinator for 16 years, she interacted significantly with graduate students, recruiting and advising them and handling

issues related to graduate study. She was pivotal in restarting our master’s program, and establishing the graduate

certificate in merchandising. Without her input and recruitment efforts, it would not have been successful.

She has served on numerous committees and offices in professional organizations. In 1997 she was elected President of

the Florida Association of Family and Consumer Sciences, a testament to her many years of service to that state and

national professional organization.

“I look forward to spending more time with my family and look forward to working on special projects within the retailing

world.” Heitmeyer stated.

Friends and colleagues from across the campus gathered

recently to bid farewell and happy retirement to Dr. Doris

(Dee) Abood, Faculty Emeritus, NFES, after 31+ years at

FSU. Abood leaves a tremendous legacy in the vast number

of students whose lives she touched through her teaching

and mentoring. Abood’s research focused primarily on the

psycho-social determinants of health behavior. Her work

has spanned the areas of stress and illness, the role of

health values, self-esteem, and behavioral, racial variations

in eating disorders, and the development of a health-

education based program for the prevention of eating disorders in collegiate athletes. Abood was

also involved in a project funded by the Florida Division of the American Cancer Society to test the

efficacy of theory-based health communication strategy to encourage women to be screened for

early detection of breast cancer. Medically underserved women in rural and urban areas of Flori-

da, many of whom are minorities, were the targets of this project.

We will miss her wisdom, insight and talents, but wish her well as she ventures out into a new

chapter of her life. Abood will be devoting time and attention to the care of her mother and performing locally with her

band, Travelin’ Light. We will be listening for you!

CHS ALUMI ENTREPRENEUR Kim Williams, Polka Dot Press K i m W i l l i a m s , a graduate of Fashion Merchandising from FSU, is an entrepreneur

who began her custom stationery business, The Polka Dot Press, in her home eight

years ago. Her products are always fresh and innovative, custom designed for any

occasion. After receiving a tremendous response from local customers and online national sales,

Williams made the decision to take her business to the next level and in 2011, The Polka Dot Press

opened a storefront in Tallahassee’s Market District.

As the owner of the business, Williams is involved in every aspect of the daily operations. She is

passionate about paper goods, crafty parties, and the final presentation; however, her customers are

her number one priority. She loves to create an experience for the customers, and is constantly

dreaming up new products, displays, and events to showcase the very best the Polka Dot Press has to

offer. Always on trend in marketing her business, Williams’ loyal customers follow her through many

social media outlets including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. She actively supports FSU’s Center for Retail, Merchandising and

Product Development through speaking engagements, panel discussions and internships for college students seeking a retail

experience, She regularly invites students to visit the store for hands-on experience in merchandising or just to “chat”. In January

she was invited to speak to other retailers at the National Retail Federation Annual Convention and Expo in New York City. Her

presentation focused on building a relationship with customers, a topic that she is more-than-qualified to discuss.

“Kim serves as a mentor to me, and an inspirational asset to the community.” explains Caitlin Robertson, a recent FSU graduate

who has worked at the Polka Dot Press since June of last year. “Working here has taught me lessons that I will use in my life and in

my future career.

Williams manages her success while taking care of her family; Mike, her husband, along with her 13 year old son, Addison.

A new screening method to detect mad cow disease-causing elements in processed food will

be commercialized through a new license agreement between Florida State University and

Gainesville-based ELISA Technologies. Invented by Dr. Yun-Hwa “Peggy” Hsieh, a food scien-

tist and the Betty M. Watts professor in Food Sciences, the screening method uses a novel

monoclonal antibody to detect the presence of bovine central nervous system (CNS) tissue in

processed food and animal feed products. Consumption of foods containing infected bovine

CNS tissue is one of the main causes of transmission of the disease to humans. The U.S. Food

and Drug Administration has banned this risk-related material in human food since 2004, and

in animal feed since 2009.

“While we have been lucky enough to have avoided any recent outbreaks of this deadly disease, it remains a serious con-

cern both here in the U.S. and especially overseas in Europe,” Hsieh said. “This new test kit aims to address some of those

concerns by providing a low-cost, accurate screening method that would allow for the routine testing of heat-processed

foods and feed products.”

The main advantage of Hsieh’s new testing kit is the ability of the antibody to detect the presence of CNS tissue even after

the food has been exposed to high levels of heat. Currently, there are no useful testing methods for food that has been heat

processed, creating potential situations where contaminated tissue could slip though established detection protocols.

Hsieh’s invention also will be important in the testing of animal feed products in order to prevent the introduction of dis-

ease contaminated CNS tissue into animal populations.

Laura Allred, president of ELISA Technologies, reports that “the antibody developed by Dr. Hsieh is incredibly sensitive and

robust, creating an assay that can detect as little as 2 parts per million (ppm) of the target protein. This method will be a

valuable tool for industry and regulators.”

2013 RETAIL SUMMIT

Page 8

Technology @ Work In Retailing

was the focus for this year’s Retail Summit, sponsored by The Center

and Department for Retail, Merchandising and Product Development.

Speakers from different facets of the business industry tapped into

global retailing, how retail relates to social media, and self-branding.

Jacob Dabah, FSU alum from the Panama

campus and Director of O’Oscar Division for

Oscar de la Renta- Panama, gave students

insight on retailing across borders as the first

speaker of the day. He presented how the

retail industry varies globally discussing

international barriers such as language,

economics, and countries’ legal frameworks.

Dabah shared tips on how to become an

international business executive such as

having the general knowledge of foreign countries and cultures. “It’s not what

you know, or who you know, but who knows YOU.” This is an excellent message that Matt Carpenter, the

Territorial Vice-President for Human resources for Kohl’s, one of the Center members, gave students

during his presentation about self-branding. His advice included how to perfect your “elevator speech”

and “create a vision of you”.

Paula Scandone, another FSU alum, VP of Beauty Digital Merchandising for HSN, touched on her

experience with technology and the beauty industry as well as how the e-

commerce world is growing and developing every day. Students had an

opportunity to “speed network” with Scandone and other retail guests

regarding their career paths and experiences over lunch.

Crosby Noricks founder and editor of PR Couture, kicked off the

afternoon session with “How to PR the PR: 10 Ways to Fashion PR into

Sales”. She spoke about social media and how it can be used effectively

to grow a retail business and gain recognition.

What does the future of retail have to do with Archie, Cinderella, and

Generation Z? Nicole Fraley, Director of Online Marketing for Office Depot answered this question for

the audience and gave an engaging presentation about technology through the years and the

direction Office Depot is headed in the revamping of the company.

Last but not least Amy Flurry, author of Recipe for Press: Pitch your

Story Like the Pros & Create a Buzz!, shared her story about her career in writing and how

there are steps mentioned in her book that focus on becoming more marketable and

gaining attention from possible consumers.

A record number of students, over 300, were in attendance at this year’s

Retail Summit. Next year’s Summit will be held on January 29th, 2014, and

we look forward to record participation from our Center Members,

businesses and students!

Boy Scouts Earn Merit Badge

in Textiles

Nine Boy Scouts from Troop 115 in Tallahassee visited the tex-

tiles laboratory in Retail, Merchandising and Product Develop-

ment on March 25 to fulfill the requirements for earning a merit

badge in textiles. Assisted by Assistant Scoutmasters Linda Doyle

and Phyllis Henderson, the boys had the opportunity in the lab

to see the differences in cotton, wool, and silk fibers by looking

at them through a microscope. The troop also practiced the

steps in weaving a fabric and burning a fabric to see if it meets

the requirements for safety. Using the stereo microscope, they

were able to observe the differences between woven, knitted,

and nonwoven fabric structures.

Graduate teaching assistants Jordin Clark, Katie Hagemann, Jeff

Pelage, and Trinna Slaughter answered questions from the scouts

about fibers, fabric construc-

tions, and coloration meth-

ods. In addition, they dis-

cussed ecological concerns

regarding the production and

care of textiles.
