Jawanza Keita joined us to introduce listeners to UD's #VoicesOfUDel campaign, designed to foster positive conversation that promotes the value of diversity.
Associate Professor Mark Serva, Accounting and MIS, and Marcin Cencek (A&S '14) joined us to talk about UD's Global Enterprise Technology minor and internship.
Associate Professor Adam Rome, Unidel Helen Gouldner Chair in Environment, joined us to preview the films and format of the first annual Lights, Camera, EARTH! film festival at UD. In addition to describing the 11 films that will be shown Feb. 21-23 in Mitchell Hall, Prof. Rome talked about UD's new program in Environmental Humanities.
We were joined today by four middle schoolers who are actively campaigning to get Delawareans to recycle their "organic trash" into compost; even signing up over 150 households in one of their pilot programs.
Asst. Profs. Jenni Buckley and Heather Doty, Mechanical Engineering, and Melissa Jurist, program director for UD K-12 engineering, talked about some of the reasons so few women join engineering and other STEM disciplines. We had such an interesting discussion, that we expect them to come back again this spring.
Bob Gonyea, keynote speaker at the 2014 UD Winter Faculty Institute, joined us for a preview of some of the themes he'll raise on campus on January 9. His data shows that retaining and engaging university students is the business of faculty AND support staff, and that certain kinds of learning engage students more readily.
Babtunde Ogunnaike, Dean of UD's College of Engineering, and Scott Grzenda, coach of UD's women's soccer team, headline a group of UD soccer experts as we dissect the draw for the summer 2014 FIFA World Cup. None of us picked Spain!
WVUD conducted a bilingual interview with Mario Vargas Llosa when he visited campus on October 31, 2013. Hear him talk about the creative process, the Internet, and politics. A very powerful interview.
Sociology prof Victor Perez talked with us about how the concept of Cancer Clusters is used as a rhetorical device and about how social sciences can inform the physical sciences in putting together a complete picture of environmental phenomena.
Most of the time, Professor Joel Best talked about the student loan mess, but he is the world's expert on certain contemporary legends: poisoned Halloween candy and middle-schooler's alleged sex games. It's a fascinating interview!
Karl Hassler joined us for a conversation during National Cyber Security Awareness Month abouth the importance of having a safe password, being alert to social engineering cons, and why information security is everyone's business.
Tunde Ogunnaike, dean of the University of Delaware's College of Engineering spoke with us about the inter-disciplinary nature of the current curriculum, UD's new ISE lab, and a lot of the exciting programs at the University.
Dan Leathers, UD Geography professor and the Delaware State Climatologist, spoke with us about a variety of weather issues--including how climate change is affecting Delaware.
Janis Tomlinson and Julie McGee visited with us about the current exhibitions in the UD Museums in Old College, Mechanical, and Penny Halls: Goya, contemporary African American art, 19th Century Japanese prints, minerals and gems.
1Jennifer Ewald talks about healthy relationships, "intimate partner violence," and the importance of communication in a healthy relationship.
Meredith Chapman talks about twitter, Facebook and other social media--at UD and in the new media world--and she talks about UD's program in Social Media Strategy and UD's student Social Media Ambassadors sitting in the "tweet seats" at UD events.
Three UD employees whose alter-egos promote, referee, or wrestle for Right Coast Pro talk about the history and culture of professional wrestling, some of the community activities that Right Coast Pro participates in to support the Newark, DE, community, and everything you want to know about local professional wrestling. Of course, mayhem nearly erupts.
Prior to his appearance at the University of Delaware Summer Faculty Institute, Phil Hill chatted with us about MOOCs. In one of the best interviews we've heard or read on the subject, Hill separates the hype from the reality, giving a very balanced view of the place for this relatively new tool in education today.
Each year, the UD Opera Theatre puts on two major productions, including a full opera in the spring. The May 2013 presentation is Verdi's Falstaff. This is a fun episode of Campus Voices--hear UD students sing and talk about what they're learning by putting on a show like this one.
Ag Day lets the local community learn about all the activities at UD's College of Agriculture and Natural Resources. It happens on the last Saturday in April every year. This broadcast emphasizes that, as much fun as Ag Day is, it also provides a snapshot of the College's and Cooperative Extension's programs. And we went behind the scenes at UDairy, too!
