Announcements

Two learning opportunities from the University Center for the Advancement of Teaching

“Open Educational Resources for Affordable Learning” Reading Group

 When: November 7, 2017 at 9:30am – 11:00am
Where: Barbie Tootle Room | Ohio Union

This reading group will meet on November 7, 14, 21, and 28. Join us as we discuss selections from two open digital books that explore the cost of higher education (“Paying the Price” by Sarah Goldrick-Rab) and how use of open educational resources is one strategy that instructors can employ to overcome financial barriers (“Open” by Rajiv Jhangiani & Robert Biswas-Diener). We are excited to team up with staff from ODEE as we explore the importance of providing affordable course material as a way to eliminate barriers for many of our students. Both books are both available for free and once you’ve registered, you will receive details on how to access them. Registration for the group is limited to 12 people.

Valuing the Cost: When Financial Responsibility Impacts Student Learning

When: November 15, 2017 at 3:00pm – 4:30pm
Where: 150 Younkin Success Center

Many of our students report that after paying for tuition, room and board, they cannot buy books or sometimes even food. About 15 percent of Ohio State students reported that they lacked reliable access to affordable, nutritious food from week to week. In this interactive performance-based workshop, participants will engage in discussion about how financial instability and food insecurity impact students in our classrooms. How can instructors consider these realities in course management, structure, and even content-building? InterACT is a theatre-based ensemble that uses interactive techniques to assist participants in developing success strategies and problem-solving common classroom scenarios.

Buckeyes Bring Hope Project

Please see the information below regarding a support effort led by Nursing for the victims of flooding in Texas.

————————————————————————-

Dear Colleagues,

As we all know, the weather-related devastating event in Houston, Southeastern Texas, and Louisiana is adversely affecting thousands of families. As Buckeyes have a reputation of paying it forward, the College of Nursing has been working to connect with local charities and organizations on the ground in the south to determine their needs and how we can help through an initiative that we are calling “Buckeyes Bring Hope.”

We are creating a fast-response team to bring faculty, staff, students and alums together with community members to provide items for the victims of this terrible flood. I know we can work together and mobilize Buckeye Nation to support our friends in the south.

My staff has contacted two local charities that are already on the ground with connections in these devastated areas, Lifeline and Matthews 25: Ministries, who have offered to support our efforts by collecting and distributing much-needed items to those affected by Hurricane Harvey. Attached are items of great need for the victims of the flood. Updated information will be shared here: go.osu.edu/OSU-BBH. The College of Nursing is serving as one drop off site for these items, beginning on Tuesday 9/5/17; we are working on one or two other drop off sites on campus and I will let you know when those sites are confirmed. We will take items through next Thursday 9/7/17 at noon. An announcement will also go in this Friday’s OnCampus Today to drive people to a webpage that will allow faculty, staff and students the opportunity to get involved in helping and donating to this important cause.

Would you please share this message with your faculty, staff, students and alumni? Please also continue to keep these families in your thoughts and prayers.

Together, across Buckeye Nation, we can help to make a difference. Go Bucks!

Warm and well regards,

Bhutanese-Nepali Neighbors: Photographs by Tariq Tarey

The history of the more than 20,000 Bhutanese-Nepali people in Columbus is rapidly becoming the history of Ohio. This exhibit consists of 30 photographs of members of the Bhutanese-Nepali community, taken by Tariq Tarey. Each photograph is accompanied by a narrative written by Doug Rutledge, which explains each individual’s history. The photographs emphasize the historic sequence of the Bhutanese-Nepali refugee experience; from living and working in Bhutan, to being forced to leave Bhutan, the experience of living in refugee camps in Nepal for 20 years or more, to resettlement in Columbus, finding jobs, buying homes and finally becoming American citizens.
