Wired For Wireless, Kay Hyatt

General University of Maine Publications

Shibles Hall may look typical 1950's from the outside, but there's nothing dated about the technology it now sports on all four floors. Due to innovative use of a donor's gift, Shibles is a prototype for the University of Maine campus in wireless technology. The building is now 100 percent wired for wireless, with a power hub system capable of handling up to 100 portable computers at a time.

University Of Maine Volleyball Media Guide, 2001, University Of Maine Athletic Media Relations Office

General University of Maine Publications

"I feel like this is the best volleyball team we’ve ever assembled at the University of Maine.” Strong words from Head Coach Sue Medley, who begins her third year at the helm of the Black Bear Volleyball program. After enduring a winless 1999 campaign, in UMaine’s return to NCAA Division I play after a 16-year absence, Medley led a talented bunch of newcomers to a 12-18 record in 2000. And while that was a tremendous turnaround for the program, Coach Medley has her sights set on something bigger for 2001: the America East Tournament.

2001-2002 Men's Hockey Media Guide, University Of Maine Media Relations Office

General University of Maine Publications

The 2001-02 University of Maine hockey team may return several familiar faces, but it's strengths and weaknesses will not at all resemble last year's 20-12-7 Black Bear Squad.

Defense carried the 2000-01 Black Bears to their 11th NCAA appearance in 17 seasons under the direction of Head Coach Shawn Walsh. UMaine finished last season ranked seventh nationally and sixth in scoring defense, allowing only 2.44 goals against per contest.

From Baggins To Beowful And Back Again: Teaching (Via) Tolkien, Jeff Massey Ph.D.

Faculty Works: ENG (1995-2016)

Beowulf, is traditionally at least, a difficult text for incoming freshmen. The Hobbit is arguably less so. In part this has much to do with their respective languages: one is so archaic as to seem foreign, the other is as comfortable as an old English shoe. One is a tale told to children around a quiet fire, the other an elegy shouted above raucous barbarians at beer. Beowulf is peppered with digressions, and shot through with violent revenge cycles. The Hobbit is a relatively straightfoward quest, adventures along the way notwithstanding. They are, on the surface at least, as …

Aspirations Research Leaps From Classroom To Sports Arena, Kay Hyatt

General University of Maine Publications

A new initiative from the National Center for Student Aspirations (NCSA) at the University of Maine is expanding its work in the classroom to the playing field and tackling the hotly debated issue of what’s appropriate and in the best interest of young athletes.

The controversial world of sports is becoming more contentious as the intense competitive nature of college and professional athletics reach the nation’s middle and high schools and put unrealistic expectations on students and coaches, according to Russ Quaglia, director of the NCSA and associate professor at UMaine.

Forum To Discuss Issues In Middle Level Sports, Kay Hyatt

General University of Maine Publications

Middle school kids are causing a lot of conversation and controversy in the sports arena. Not because of their behavior, but because they are caught in the middle of competing interests shaped by tradition, policy, parents and the desire to do what's best for youngsters going through tremendous life changes - physically, emotionally and socially.

Lgbt Studies: Past, Presences And Futures, Richard M. Juang

Center for LGBTQ Studies (CLAGS)

When I rolled out of bed at 4 am on April 20 to make the trip to New York for "Futures of the Field: Building LGBT Studies into the 21st Century University," the idea of discussing institutionalization was less than appealing. In a time of staff cutbacks, increasing courseloads and notoriously poor job markets, going back to sleep seemed a much better idea.

Such Stuff As Dreams Are Made On, Alisa Solomon

Center for LGBTQ Studies (CLAGS)

I’ve just finished teaching an undergraduate Shakespeare class at Baruch College—CUNY to a class of mostly business majors. For many of the students, English is not their first language, so predictably, they had some trouble parsing Shakespeare's text. But they had no difficulty at all understanding what was going on between Patroclus and Achilles in Troilus and Cressida, or, arguably, between Antonio and Sebastian—or Olivia and Viola or Orsino and Cesario—in Twelfth Night. In general, they were not in the slightest surprised to find homoeroticism in the works of the Greatest Writer Ever. (Indeed, critically analyzing Bardolatry was …

Senior Project Internship: Inside A Public Television Documentary, Nate Lepley

WWU Honors College Senior Projects

This paper, in conjunction with the internship experience it describes, comprises my senior project at Fairhaven College and for Western Washington University’s Honors Program. My self-designed degree, or “concentration, is Documentary Production. Capturing Moments, Constructing Narratives. My concentration studies taught me how to produce media at a basic level and gave me a theoretical understanding of how documentaries ideally should be produced, but I needed experience in the real world to discover how they actually are produced in a professional setting. An internship with independent producers of a public television documentary provided that opportunity. In this paper, 1 will …

Mathematics Memory Verses: Weekly Devotionals For Math Class, Mark Colgan

ACMS Conference Proceedings 2001

Each Monday during the semester I start class with a short devotional on a verse that relates in some way to mathematics. After three weeks I choose one of the three at random for students to write out on their quiz for a possible bonus point. This encourages students to practice memorizing Scripture and it gives us the opportunity to discuss biblical principles that relate to some of the topics we are studying in the course.

I would like to share some of the Bible verses and weekly devotionals I have used in my mathematics classes. These can be organized …

Parables For Mathematicians: With Good News For Curved Beings, Ashley Reiter Ahlin

ACMS Conference Proceedings 2001

Because we often lack the language for talking about such deep matters, the things of God can be hard to understand or talk about. The things that we do see and know were made by the same God of whom we speak. Thus, they are reflections of His nature, purposes, and ways and can help us to think and take about Him. This presentation expresses a parable using the language of math.
