Introduction to the issue: University of Tennessee at Martin Eta Alpha Chapter volume
Get PDFWelcome to the Eta Alpha Chapter volume of The Compass. The geosciences degree program at The University of Tennessee at Martin celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2022, just in time for the 46th Biennial Convention of Sigma Gamma Epsilon. The cover photo for this volume depicts the Joseph E. Johnson EPS (Engineering and Physical Sciences) Building that has been the home of the geosciences program since its construction in 1960. This volume is a series of papers that were initially compiled to be part of the 46th biennial convention volume that was to occur in 2019; however, the COVID-19 pandemic, along with additional scheduling difficulties, forced a hiatus of that meeting and consequently this volume. The papers in this volume present the history of the geology program at the University of Tennessee at Martin, along with the history of the student organizations central to its geology mission. UT Martin has a long history of geoscience education service. This volume also presents the history of the Tennessee Earth Science Teachers (TEST) organization. We present the result of several projects undertaken by Eta Alpha SGE members and their faculty mentors
Geoscience student organizations at the University of Tennessee at Martin
Get PDFIn celebration of 2022 Sigma Gamma Epsilon 46th National Convention being hosted by the University of Tennessee at Martin (UT Martin), Eta Alpha Chapter, this paper serves a synopsis that celebrates the history of student clubs and professional organizations in the geosciences program at UT Martin. The first geoscience student organization officially recognized by the University was devoted to geology, the GeoClub, and established in 1970 and still serves as the primary student organization for all of the geosciences. UT Martin established the Eta Alpha Chapter of Sigma Gamma Epsilon honor society in 1997. A Travel and Tourism club was in existence from 1994-1999, although it was not officially noted by the University until 1997. A student chapter of the American Meteorological Society was established in 2014, along with the establishment of that degree concentration. The most recent student organization to be established is the local chapter of the Association of Women Geoscientists in 2016

Positive Liberty, Negative Liberty, and Marketing Regulations: A Holistic Analysis
Get PDFMarketing regulations are warranted when unfettered marketing practices compromise many people\u27s positive and negative liberties. We elucidate these liberties’ multifaceted but interdependent connotations for societally justified marketing regulations from a novel framework integrating the social sciences, philosophy, history, and marketing. The limitations of unbalanced or less represented market or government regulation notwithstanding, overcoming marketing imbalances and enhancing personal and societal liberties via pluralistic, well-designed, enforceable, and multilateral regulations can advance a pluralistic democracy\u27s diverse market-related interests. By informing companies and consumers about societally responsible liberties, well-regulated marketing can spur common goods creation
What does Ubuntu tell us about what it means to be human? A Journey Towards Ubuntu’s Theology and Anthropology
Get PDFThis paper explores the intersection between Ubuntu, contextual social anthropology, and some major topics of systematic theology. In particular, it develops an African model of personhood, making relationship and interdependence the primary constituents of what is human. If developed as a model for the unity and diversity of the Trinity, Ubuntu can help one see how being drawn into the Trinitarian communion could help combat the harmful effects of the modern notion of individualistic personhood by showing that the beauty of unity in diversity leads to greater flourishing of individuals and their communities
