November 2006

Dear Conference Participants: On behalf of the Kent State University community, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to our Kent Campus and to our 13th annual “Celebrating College Teaching” conference. With thoughtprovoking keynote speeches, breakout sessions that always spark lively discussions and the great tradition of the Distinguished Teaching Awards ceremony, this annual gathering is designed to be edifying and enjoyable no matter where you are on your academic career path. It is very fitting that Kent State hosts this forum for sharing insights, ideas and inspiration about the scholarship of teaching. The university started as a teacher-training school in 1910 and has built a strong tradition of fostering excellence and innovation in college instruction. Although we have evolved into a major American university — one that is ranked among the nation’s 77 public research universities demonstrating a high level of research activity by Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching — Kent State has retained its commitment to leadership in advancing teaching at all levels. From our University Teaching Council to our Faculty Professional Development Center to our Research Center for Educational Technology, Kent State provides faculty in every discipline with multiple opportunities to explore the art of teaching and to develop skills fit for the 21st century. As you join our multitalented faculty and staff, I encourage you to participate fully in the day’s array of activities. I am confident that you will come away with many new reasons to celebrate teaching. Sincerely,

Lester A. Lefton President

HISTORY OF THE CONFERENCE CELEBRATING COLLEGE TEACHING In 1992, Dr. Mary Lou Holly built into Kent State University’s Collective Bargaining agreement provisions for support of teaching. Those provisions ultimately led to the establishment of the University Teaching Council (UTC). A contractually initiated committee to study faculty professional development (Faculty Professional Development Study Committee) wrote the enabling legislation for the UTC and guided it through the Faculty Senate. That study committee was composed of six people (two Faculty Senate representatives: Holly, Dr. Jerry M. Lewis; two administrators: Dr. Larry Andrews and Thomas J. Barber; and two association members: Dr. Stephanie Booth and Dr. Michael Lee). The enabling legislation for the University Teaching Council was modeled on the structure of the University Research Council (URC). Parity with the URC in the form of financial support was sought, and although not obtained, provisions for additional kinds of grants (for travel, for learning and summer teaching projects among others) were designed. These included provisions for curriculum development as a key area for support as it related to teaching, and an annual conference to help build a community around teaching and the scholarship of teaching. Thus, the Celebrating College Teaching Conference was designed to identify, recognize, promote and celebrate the many positive teaching-related activities going on at Kent State. Dr. Rick Vardaris, psychology, chaired the Conference Committee for the first three years, stepping down in 1995. Lewis chaired from October 1995 to July 1996, and then stepped down as he formally retired. Steve Zapytowski, theatre, served as chair from 1996 to 2000. Dr. Bruce Friesen, sociology, Stark Campus, served from 2001to 2004; in 2005, Dr. Kimberly Peer, exercise, leisure and sport, assumed the chairship. The conference initially involved committee members meeting with the Keynote speaker on Saturday morning, but this was soon curtailed for pragmatic reasons. However, some significant components were added as the conference matured. These included linking the conference to the Thursday night Read Lecture, and awarding the Distinguished Teaching Awards (full-time faculty) and the Outstanding Teaching Awards (non-tenure track faculty) at the conference as of 1995. Campus Conversations – a chance for colleagues from different disciplines and campuses to actively talk together about teaching – was added in 1999, as was a reception for new faculty as a means to introduce them into a campus culture which values teaching. Graduate’s Applause was added at the 2000 conference. In 2001, the Read Foundation brought in the Friday morning Keynote Speaker instead of a separate event on Thursday evening. The Provost’s Office inaugurated the Thursday night Provost’s Emeriti Lecture in 2002. Mary Lou Holly’s emphasis on celebrating good teaching continues as the major thrust of the conference, which celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2003.

Ross Kauffman, Read Distinguished Lecture, Keynote Address and Film Presentation) Born Into Brothels Ross Kauffman is the director, producer, cinematographer and coeditor of Born Into Brothels, winner of the 2005 Academy Award for Best Documentary. Kauffman worked as a documentary film editor from 1992 - 2000. He spent three years at Valkhn Film and Video Inc., a post-production company where he worked on a wide variety of films for producers such as Jim Lipscomb, Kevin Bachar and Melvin Van Peebles. In 1994 he began a longstanding working relationship with Emmy Award-winning producer and editor Sam Pollard, editing diverse projects such as Hookers of the Point, one of the highest rated America Undercover documentaries in HBO’s history; Going Places with Al Roker for WNET/ THIRTEEN; as well as the award-winning series City Arts/City Life for PBS. He has also edited documentaries for National Geographic and The Discovery Channel. Since 2000, he has been reaching out to different aspects of documentary production, working as a director of photography on Family Stories, a film about an extended African-American family separated by geographic, social and economic lines. In 2001, Kauffman teamed up with award winning photojournalist Zana Briski to direct and produce Born Into Brothels, a feature documentary about the children of Calcutta’s prostitutes. In 2002, Kauffman formed Red Light Films and along with Briski was awarded grants from the Sundance Institute, the Jerome Foundation and the New York State Council on the Arts to complete the film. Prior to the Academy Awards, Born Into Brothels was accepted into more than 30 film festivals and has since received in excess of 40 awards, including National Board of Review Best Documentary 2004, LA Film Critics Best Documentary 2004, and the Sundance Film Festival Audience Award in 2004. Kauffman is currently working on Project Kashmir, a documentary that takes viewers into the warzone of Kashmir and examines the conflict from an emotional and social point of view.

EMERITI ROUNDTABLE Nov. 3, 2006, Ballroom, 9 - 10:30 a.m. Myra West, Professor Emeritus of Physics, “A Career of Teaching in the Trenches or Why I Think Teaching Introductory Courses Is Important.” Myra West began her career teaching high school math and physics in the small local school district of Randolph, Ohio, where kindergarten through 12th grade were in the same building. Following the consolidation with Atwater Schools, the district became Waterloo Schools where she taught for three more years.

After completing her master’s through an NSF Academic Year Institute, she joined the faculty of the Salem Campus of Kent State University in the summer of 1970. She was hired because of her strong teaching background. Kent State Salem wanted to help students who were having difficulty with Technical Physics. West has taught at every campus of the university except Ashtabula. In 1978 she was moved from the Salem Campus to the Stark Campus where she taught for 20 years. Although retired, West has continued to teach at least one course per year for Kent State. She has been very active in the American Association of Physics Teachers, at both the local and national levels. For more than 20 years, she has regularly attended the national meetings. She has served on several committees and was chair of the Committee for Physics in Two-Year Colleges for two years. West is currently a candidate for the office of secretary of the national AAPT. She has also served as president of the Ohio Section AAPT and has been the newsletter editor for the past seven years. West has attended numerous workshops involving new teaching techniques in the teaching of physics at the introductory level. West served Kent State for more than 20 years on the departmental undergraduate curriculum committee. She was also on the College of Arts and Sciences curriculum committee for several years, as well as EPC. Extremely active in Faculty Senate, she served as secretary numerous times, vice-chair, and chair from 1989-91. West was the first woman to chair Faculty Senate, as well as the first chair from the Regional Campuses.
