White House Chaplain to be Honored as Southeastern’s Alumnus of the Year
U.S. Navy Commander Stan W. Fornea, who serves as the first chaplain ever assigned to the White House Military Office, will be honored Friday (Nov. 4) as the 2011 Alumnus of the Year by the Southeastern Alumni Association.
     Fornea previously served under former President George W. Bush as command chaplain at the Presidential retreat at Camp David, part of the Naval Support Facility in Thurmont, Md. In his autobiography “Decision Points,” Bush describes Fornea as a source of solace, resolve and spiritual direction during the summer of 2006, a time the President described as the “worst period of my presidency” because of the ongoing Iraq War.
     An ordained minister in the Episcopal Church of the United States, Fornea graduated from Southeastern in 1979 with a bachelor’s degree in history and social studies. Later he earned a Master of Divinity Degree from New Orleans Theological Seminary, a Master of Theology Degree from Duke University, and a Doctor of Ministry Degree from Vanderbilt University.
      “We are pleased to welcome Cmdr. Fornea back to Southeastern as our Alumnus of the Year,” said President John L. Crain. “In his service to our nation, Cmdr. Fornea has distinguished himself as a trusted adviser from the level of presidents to enlisted military personnel.”
     Alumni Association Director Kathy Pittman said the award recognizes graduates with unique accomplishments on a national or international level who continue to utilize their degree from Southeastern to the fullest. He will be honored at the university’s Alumni Awards Evening on Friday. Tickets for the 7 p.m. event at Twelve Oaks are available from the Alumni Association, 985-549-2150 or 1-800-SLU-ALUM.

Southeastern initiates program in advanced diagnostic imaging
A new program designed to train technologists in advanced diagnostic imaging will start at Southeastern in the spring 2012 semester.
     The four-semester program will offer clinical tracks in either computerized tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. Graduates will earn a bachelor of science degree in health studies.
     “This program has significant applications for the area’s healthcare workforce,” said Southeastern President John L. Crain. “Currently most radiologic technologists receive advanced training in these specialized modalities while on the job. The profession is now moving toward requiring more formalized training. In the not too distant future, it is likely a degree will be required, especially for individuals looking to advance into supervisory positions.”
     He added that hospitals and clinics in the area are expanding facilities and services to accommodate growing patient demand and need well prepared radiologic personnel. Currently, no other university in the area is offering this type of program, he said.
     Ann Carruth, interim dean of the College of Nursing and Health Sciences, said candidates for the program must be registered technologists who are certified by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) and licensed by the Louisiana State Radiologic Technology Board of Examiners. They must have completed all general education courses required of Southeastern graduates.
     She explained that registered technologists generally complete a two-year associate degree or diploma program offered at various hospitals and colleges. This prepares them to work in diagnostic radiography involving x-ray and other equipment.
     “The more advanced technology associated with computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging requires very specialized training to become competent in the field and to be prepared for national certification,” she said.
     The program was developed in cooperation with North Oaks Health System in Hammond, which will also serve as one of the university’s clinical partners.
     “We are eager to see the advanced imaging program develop,” said North Oaks School of Radiologic Technology Program Director Marsha J. Talbert. “The general demand for allied health programs associated with the population growth in this part of the state is strong. We are looking forward to working closely with Southeastern on this much-needed program.”
     Carruth said the program will provide students with both the classroom work and clinical experience they need to be proficient in their profession, and graduates will meet national board eligibility requirements.
     The program will be housed in the new College of Nursing and Health Sciences addition to the existing Kinesiology and Health Sciences Building expected to open later this fall. Area hospitals and other health care facilities will serve as sites for clinical rotations.
     Carruth added that Southeastern will seek national accreditation of the program by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology as soon as it becomes eligible.
     For more information on the program, contact the College of Nursing and Health Sciences at 549-3772.

Southeastern history students recognized
Two Southeastern graduate students in history –Owen Hyman of Talisheek and Cody Scallions of Springfield – have been recognized for individual accomplishments in historical research.
     Hyman was awarded the William S. Coker Award for the best graduate paper on Gulf South History, while Scallions has been selected to have his thesis published in the “Florida Historical Quarterly.” Both students work in the university’s Center for Southeast Louisiana Studies housed in the Sims Memorial Library.
     “Cody and Owen personify the type of students who work in the Center, creative, hard-working, emerging scholars who are excited about confronting challenges,” said Samuel Hyde, Leon Ford Professor of History and director of the Center. “Their research each tapped into previously little utilized sources in the Center, and their interpretive analysis was superb.”
     The Coker Award is presented by the Gulf South Historical Association for the best graduate paper presented at the organization’s annual meeting. It was established in 1996 to honor the contributions of the long time professor of history at the University of West Florida. Hyman received a cash award and a plaque for his accomplishment.
     His paper, “Company and Community: Crown Zellerbach, Integration, and the Limits of Corporate Responsibility,” examines the federal contract compliance agencies’ failures to enforce the equal employment provisions contained in President Kennedy’s Executive Order 10925, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and President Johnson’s Executive Order 11246.
     “Using evidence from Crown Zellerbach’s Bogalusa paper mill and conversion factories,” Hyman said, “the paper demonstrates that contradictions between the government’s voluntary compliance and contract-based enforcement policies allowed companies to shirk civil rights laws for more than a decade even as they retained lucrative federal contracts.”
     Scallions is only one of a few graduate students to have their research published in the prestigious “Florida Historical Quarterly.” His thesis “The Rise and Fall of the Lone Star State: Infant American Imperialism Ascendant in West Florida,” is about the development of the West Florida Republic as an independent nation that was forcibly annexed by the emerging United States in 1810.
     “The Center for Southeast Louisiana Studies has been my crutch through the entire research and publication process,” Scallions said. “Their archives were consistently adding new collections or adding to existing collections that I used. Southeastern and its faculty, particularly Sam Hyde and Keith Finley, gave me the potential and material to reach my goals. Their guidance and knowledge presented me with the opportunity to get published.”
     “Both Cody and Owen are contributing significantly to the study of the South’s most curious region, and I am certain that these honors are but the start of what is in store for each of these young men,” Hyde said.

Scallions’ thesis is being published in the “Florida Historical Quarterly,” and Hyman received the William S. Coker Award for the best graduate paper on Gulf South History.

Southeastern chemist receives NSF grant to encourage undergraduate research
A Southeastern organic chemist has received a $218,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to develop more efficient methods of chemical transformations while providing undergraduate students opportunities to participate in the research.
     Debra Dolliver, associate professor of chemistry, said the 36-month grant is intended to help create more efficient approaches to developing compounds widely used in the pharmaceutical and agricultural industries. The work will be conducted in collaboration with Kevin Shaughnessy and Timothy Snowden of the University of Alabama Department of Chemistry.
     Dolliver said many steps are involved in the synthesis of compounds, which are sometimes complicated by unwanted byproducts, incomplete chemical reactions or decompositions.
      “These complications add costs to the production of chemicals, so the industry is always looking for different and more efficient ways to perform the transformations,” she explained. “Our team will be looking at new chemical transformations that hopefully will avoid some of these complications.”
     The research will be performed largely by undergraduate students under the supervision of Dolliver and her colleagues. The students will perform the research at Southeastern during the fall and spring semesters. The project will then transfer to the University of Alabama, where the students will continue the research in collaboration with UA faculty.
      “By working with our partners at the University of Alabama, we provide our students – many of whom are first-generation college students – with the opportunity to work at a large research institution with access to highly sophisticated equipment and expertise typically found in a large research institution.”
     Dolliver said the department has made a concerted push over the last decade to provide a competitive undergraduate research experience for the students.
      “This grant represents a further extension of that effort,” she said.
     Dolliver is a faculty mentor for Southeastern’s student-run SEAL (“Student Entrepreneurs as Active Leaders”) program, which links undergraduate students with scientists at area plants and industries who are looking for cost-effective answers to puzzling problems in their work.

Robin Roberts awarded Distinguished Alumni Award by AASCU
Robin Roberts, co-anchor of ABC-TV’s Good Morning America and a 1983 graduate of Southeastern, has been recognized with the American Association of State Colleges and Universities Distinguished Alumnus Award.
     Presented Tuesday (Oct. 25) at AASCU’s annual meeting in Boston, the award is given annually to an individual known nationally or internationally who has made a significant contribution to the public, intellectual or cultural life of the nation. Previous award winners have included broadcasters Tom Brokaw and Dan Rather, U.S. Gen. Tommy Franks, Colin Powell, and Sen. Robert Dole.
     Roberts was nominated for the award by Southeastern President John L. Crain, who assisted with her award presentation.
     “We’re proud that Robin was selected for this award from a list of very honorable nominees,” said Crain. “At Southeastern, we have all known what a treasure she is and how her personal and professional achievements have made her a true role model. We’re happy that AASCU concurs with our sentiments.”
     Crain said that as a student, Roberts learned basic broadcasting skills at Southeastern’s KSLU radio station and as the part time sports director at Hammond’s local radio stations, went into broadcasting upon graduation and eventually worked her way up to a position with ESPN, hosting “SportsCenter” and contributing regularly to “NFL Primetime.” She joined the “Good Morning America” team in 2005.
     Last year, Southeastern officially retired Roberts’ jersey in a ceremony at the University Center where she played for the Lady Lions from 1979 to 1983. The 1996 Southeastern Alumnus of the Year in, she has been named to the university’s Athletics Hall of Fame and to the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame by the WNBA. In 2006 she was named one of the NCAA’s “100 Most Influential Student-Athletes” in conjunction with the NCAA Centennial Celebration.
     Roberts, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007, has been honored for her efforts to call attention to the disease, receiving awards from the Susan G. Koman Foundation and the Congresssional Families Cancer Prevention Program.
     A native of Pass Christian, Miss., she resides in New York.
Field trip to Touro
On October 14, speech-language pathology graduate students in Dr. Lillian Stiegler’s Advanced Clinical Methods course (CSD 629) visited the Rehabilitation Center at Touro Infirmary in New Orleans. They toured the facility’s entire network of rehab sections including all inpatient and outpatient units. Their guides were Abby McDonald and Lisa Stutzenbecker, two speech-language pathologists employed by Touro.
     The students visited the secure unit where inpatients with brain injuries resulting from trauma, stroke, anoxia, tumor and other neurological diseases receive intensive treatment. Students were able to see the inner workings of the comprehensive day program, which provides patients with five to seven hours per day of speech, physical and occupational therapies in an outpatient format.
     Students were treated to an observation of normal and disordered videofluoroscopic swallow studies. Also, the students visited “Easy Street,” which is a mock town (complete with a grocery store, theater, bank, car, and café) where patients can practice skills needed for community re-entry. Many CSD graduate students plan to pursue careers in rehabilitation, so this field trip was one way to help them prepare for their clinical practicum placements and future employment settings.
