 Welcome!
Dear
Faculty and Staff,
The
purpose of this e-newsletter is to keep you informed about the
transitions and continuing developments within the College.
Department
Meetings
We have
enjoyed meeting with COEHS departments during this frenzied final
week of the 2004/05 academic year. Thank you for participating in
these meetings and sharing your thoughts and ideas with us. Please
continue to provide input by emailing us or stopping by the office
to talk.
Opportunity
for Students to Serve in the Peruvian Amazon
Jorge Won,
a New York optometrist and UW-Eau Claire alum, is sponsoring two
student stipends of $500 each to join him and a group of other
volunteers who will travel to an Amazon jungle town in north-eastern
Peru August 15-17 2005
to provide free eye care to people who do not have access to this
type of care. You may learn more about the organization on the
website www.voshny.org. Dr. Won
received an Alumni Award last year and he is very interested in
involving UW-Eau Claire students in this international service
activity. If you know of students who may be interested, please tell
them to contact Dean Rhoades or Marcia Van Beek in the UW-Eau
Claire Foundation.
Fellows
Announced
Cynthia
Gray-Mash and Bob Hollon, co-directors of the Center for
Collaborative Leadership in Education, have announced this year’s
Williams/Rhoades fellows: Mickey Kolis, Carol Koroghlanian, Deb
Pattee, and Roger Tlusty. Each will receive $500 to support a
collaborative project activity and will share the results of their
project at the annual spring Williams/Rhoades
Colloquium.
New
Faculty
COEHS will
be welcoming new faculty in the departments of Communications
Disorders, Foundations of Education, Kinesiology, and Social Work

our college community will appear in future editions of Transitions.
