Comme les Français: A Guide to Being French
No full textComme les Français is a risograph zine outlining French slang, cultural norms, and common stereotypes.
Understanding culture, on top of language, is the way to truly open your mind. It builds connection and compassion for others. This is where the idea of this zine series was born. A perfect marriage of my passion for French and graphic design.
When something in a title is contained within an oval, it is a French word. If anything needs translating, the English equivalent will be listed directly underneath it in smaller point size, all-caps, and colored one of the accent colors. A similar system is also used for pronunciations. — Meredith Mielehttps://scholarship.rollins.edu/book_arts/1144/thumbnail.jp
Signs to Save Your Environment
No full text\u27Signs to Save Your Environment\u27 presents 18 sign-based prints that can be ripped out and left around your community to create change in your environment. The book is printed on 100% post consumer waste paper that is unbleached (so no chlorine was used to make it a brighter white). So as eco friendly as I can possibly be while making a book. — Paul Shortt
Each page is perforated at the top to be easily ripped out so each 8x10 sign can be framed using a standard frame size.
Paul Shortt stole his first and only street sign at sixteen after attempting to do a donut in his car and winding up in a ditch. Since that time, he has focused on making art projects with signs he designs and creates himself.https://scholarship.rollins.edu/book_arts/1145/thumbnail.jp
We Are So Vulnerable and We Don\u27t Even Know It
No full textRenee Sang (b. 1998), Orlando, FL
These photographs serve as one component of a larger project visualizing the fight to save Split Oak Forest using documentary methods as intentionally familiar means of storytelling. Though already an area of protected wilderness conservation lands, Split Oak has been under recent threat from developers attempting to build the Central Florida Expressway through it. Though specific to the greater Orlando community, this issue sets a larger alarming precedent for the current destruction of public lands and environmental rights everywhere.
Overall, this project advocates on behalf of Split Oak’s biodiversity and recreational value to the local community. From speaking directly with members fighting for Split Oak on the ground to quiet walks through the forest alone, a diversity of perceptual vantage points is represented. Imagery of the forest ranges from picturesque beauty to haunting reality. The creeping hints of urban sprawl along the edge of the forest are reflective of civilization’s current path of unfettered development. Quotes from advocates involved in the fight to save Split Oak are embedded throughout the photographs to highlight our collective role in preserving this land and to acknowledge the impacts of grassroots activism in the ongoing fight for environmental rights.
Due to local efforts, the forest has been momentarily saved by the passing of a successful charter amendment in the 2020 election. Perhaps this hopeful precedent can set the stage to replace the forces that continue to threaten these spaces. Ultimately, Split Oak is part of a larger conversation around the current destruction of public lands and environmental degradation everywhere as progress and economic growth continue to develop uncontrollably. There is an urgency and need to continually visualize the power of collective action to prevent the plight of our natural worlds.https://scholarship.rollins.edu/studioart_all/1011/thumbnail.jp
Interview with Jayashree Shivamoggi
Get PDFBorn in the late 1950s, Jayashree Shivamoggi grew up in a small village in the southwest part of India. Her life has been greatly influenced by her father, a skilled engineer who encouraged her to pursue an education and profession in science and technology, a career choice that was rare for young girls in South Asia. After attending private boarding schools, Jay studied at the Karnatak University in India, where she earned her BS in 1980 and MS in Physics in 1982. Through her parents’ arrangement, Jay met with Dr. Bhimsen Shivamoggi, a scientist at the Physical Research Laboratory and an associate professor at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences in India. They married only a few weeks following their first meeting, and after Prof. Bhimsen Shivamoggi joined the University of Central Florida in 1985, Jay also immigrated to the United States and continued her pursue of PhD in Physics, which she earned from UCF in 1996.
Because of the needs for her growing family, Jay could only work as an adjunct instructor at first, but at UCF she took the initiative to establish the Office of External and Competitive Scholarship Advising, which resulted in a record number of awards at the Burnet Honors College. During her tenure, a UCF student, Tyler Fisher, became the first and only Rhodes Scholar from UCF. It is because of this record of professional accomplishments that Jay was appointed the Director of External and Competitive Scholarship at Rollins in 2003. As the founding director, Jay secured funding for the continued operation of the office, developed a sophisticated network of committed faculty to assist in the application process, and single-handedly oversaw scholarship applications of over 80 students annually to prestigious scholarships such as the Rhodes, Truman, and National Science Foundation scholarships. Under her leadership, Rollins has been recognized as one of the top Fulbright producing Institutions for multiple times.
As a visiting lecturer in the Physics Department at Rollins, Jay also taught various courses such as Physics for Scientists and Engineers, Physical Science for Non-Science Majors, and Nuclear Power Arms and War. In addition, Jay has served as a faculty advisor to DESI (South Asian Student Organization), Rollins Cornell/Alfond Scholars, and Rollins Chapter of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars. She has also served as a judge of the Nelson Ying Science Competition organized by the Orlando Science Center for high school students in Central Florida, helped Rollins students raise funds for “Making Lives Better” service learning program, and co-led the successful field study trip to Nepal.
Dr. Jayashree Shivamoggi received a Woman of Achievement Award from the Women’s Executive Council of Orlando in 2015, and has been recognized as one of the Most Inspiring Women of Rollins for multiple years. In January 2021, after eighteen years of service, Jay announced her resignation from Rollins to focus on her consultancy enterprise, Dr. Jay’s College & Career Advising
A Review of Behavior Analysis in Education
Get PDFMost education research in applied behavior analysis (ABA) is specific to early learners, which presents significant opportunity to better determine the effectiveness of various instruction methods for college-aged learners (CALs). Within the context of pedagogy, or method of teaching, ABA is the scientific study of the effect of instructional techniques on student behaviors. The available research for college-aged learners is scattered, non-definitive, and has gaps over time. Despite declension over the past half-century, research examining evidence-based practices in education has identified multiple approaches to help instructors manage and improve individual student behaviors and academic performance for CALs. In this review, I evaluated the available research in education generally, identified methods with the most empirically supported evidence as a best practice for teachers, and suggested topics for future research to help fill in some of the current knowledge gaps in ABA within the confines of education. Additionally, I reviewed the available behavior-analytic research with CALs. These studies were evaluated by determining whether the instructional methods demonstrated clear results with significant improvements in student behaviors and student satisfaction. Analysis of the research identified personalized system of instruction (PSI) as the most effective teaching method for improving CAL outcomes. Given this finding, it is recommended that researchers in the field of ABA who are focused on CALs, develop more methods specific to PSI, encourage teachers apply them in a real-world setting, and determine how best to make this information widely available
