Southeastern history professor awarded Fulbright Scholar Grant to teach, research
in Ireland
Southeastern Professor of History Harry S. Laver has been named a Fulbright Scholar,
which will allow him to perform research and graduate level teaching in Ireland the
next academic year.
Established in 1946, the Fulbright Scholar Program is sponsored by the U.S. Department
of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and allows American scholars
and professionals to lecture and research in a wide range of fields.
"This is a huge and very well-deserved honor for Dr. Harry Laver, one of the
hardest working and most productive faculty members at Southeastern," said William
Robison, head of the Department of History and Political Science. "It is also a great
point of prestige for the university. There is no higher honor a scholar can receive
than the opportunity to teach and conduct research abroad under the auspices of a
Fulbright Fellowship. We in the department are extraordinarily proud of his achievement."
A specialist in military history, Laver will be working at the National University
of Ireland (NUIM) in Maynooth, where he will offer a series of new classes to complement
the institution's existing curriculum. Among the offerings being considered are graduate
courses in the American Revolutionary era, the American Civil War, Vietnam and a survey
of U.S. military history.
"NUIM has an alliance with the Military College at the Irish Defense Forces Training
Center, and it's likely I will teach classes on military history and leadership in
various courses for cadets and for junior and senior commanders," Laver said. "My
particular specialization in historic military leadership studies will be especially
appropriate, as I anticipate teaching at least one course in leadership theory and
practice coupled with analyses of past commanders' leadership successes and shortcomings."
Laver conducts study abroad trips for Southeastern, where students visit World
War II sites such as Normandy and the World War I battlefields of northern France,
experiences he thinks will enhance similar trips already offered by NUIM.
Laver's research will involve a study of Irish-American Civil War veterans who
returned to their home country after the war.
"Many of these veterans returned to Ireland intending to employ their recently
gained political and military experience in support of Fenianism, which was a form
of Irish nationalism," he said. "This research will further illuminate Irish-American
war veterans' participation in post-1865 Fenianism within Ireland, specifically their
ideological and military contributions and their participation in the Rising of 1867,
a failed attempt to throw off British rule."
As the director of Graduate Studies in Southeastern's Department of History and
Political Science, Laver said he will participate extensively with colleagues in the
NUIM graduate program in history, providing experience he has gained in the role.
"Conversely, I expect that observing their practices and methods of graduate
education will also give me a different and international perspective that will improve
my abilities to advise our students at Southeastern," he said.
Columbia Theatre to present Paul Taylor Dance
One of the world's most highly respected and sought-after ensembles, Paul Taylor Dance,
will perform at Southeastern's Columbia Theatre for the Performing Arts on Tuesday,
April 9, at 7:30 p.m.
"Dance maker Paul Taylor first presented his choreography with five other dancers
in Manhattan on May 30, 1954. The performance marked the beginning of a half-century
of unrivaled creativity," said Roy Blackwood, interim director of the Columbia Theatre.
"In the decades that followed, Taylor became a cultural icon and one of history's
most celebrated artists, hailed as one of the creators of American modern dance."
Since 1954, Paul Taylor has amassed a growing collection of 130 dances performed
by his celebrated company of 16 dancers and the six-member company Taylor 2. Bringing
modern dance to America's college campuses and small towns, as well as large cultural
centers, Paul Taylor Dance has performed in more than 520 cities in 62 countries.
Tickets for Paul Taylor Dance range from $36 - $44 and are available at the Columbia
Theatre box office on Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. or by phone at 543-4371.
Patrons may also get tickets online at www.columbiatheatre.org.
All Southeastern faculty, retired faculty or university staff with ID may purchase one ticket for Paul Taylor Dance and receive one ticket at half price. Both tickets must be purchased in the same transaction at the Columbia box office. Contact the box office at 543-4371 for more information.
MODERN DANCE: Paul Taylor Dance, one of the world's most highly respected and sought-after ensembles, will perform at Southeastern's Columbia Theatre for the Performing Arts for one night only on Tuesday, April 9 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at 543-4371 or at www.columbiatheatre.org.
Business faculty recognized with Sweatt Medal for service
The B. Oren Sweatt Medal, named for a former dean at Southeastern, was awarded to
two members of the College of Business for their service commitments.
Associate Professors Minh Huynh in the Department of Marketing and Supply Chain
Management and Dawn Wallace in the Department of Management and Business Administration
were recognized with the medal, named in honor of Dr. Sweatt, professor emeritus of
Business Administration and dean emeritus of the College of Business.
Sweatt, who attended the recognition ceremony, joined the university in 1955
and currently resides in Fayette, Ala. While at Southeastern, he also served as dean
of the Division of Applied Sciences.
This is the second time the Sweatt Medal has been presented. The first was awarded
in 2011 to Joseph Miller of Hammond, former dean of the college and vice president
for University Advancement.
College of Business Dean Randy Settoon said the Sweatt Medal recognizes "ordinary
people doing extraordinary things."
Huynh was recognized for his community and university service activities, chief among
them his involvement with the Tangi Food Pantry. In addition to serving on the organization's
board of directors, he has involved his students in a number of service learning projects
that included the development and support of computer applications for the agency.
The students developed a client database, implemented a computerized program for annual
client re-certification, helped with monthly data input and are currently hosting
the agency's website.
"This is a tremendous win-win," said Toni Phillips, interim assistant dean. "Our
students are gaining hands-on experience and helping a valuable community service
agency at the same time."
Wallace was recognized for a project that may help the College improve record-keeping
processes through the use of technology. Academic departments have the responsibility
to maintain detailed records of each student's academic progress—classes taken, grades
earned and classes remaining—and accuracy is essential. Currently, departments manually
transfer data from official university records to each student's individual curriculum
sheet, a process that is time-consuming and subject to normal human error. Using her
knowledge of technology, Wallace developed an automated process to transfer university
data to departmental records, saving time and reducing errors.
"Dawn spent countless hours gathering information and designing a complex, customized
program," said Phillips. "Pilot tests began in 2012, with very promising results.
Once fully implemented, the program will help increase accuracy and save much time
and effort."
"I am very proud to have Minh and Dawn as members of the College of Business
faculty," Settoon said. "I am grateful for their dedication to the college and its
students and for their selfless commitment of time in service to others."

Southeastern Community Music School announces summer programs
Registration is underway for the Southeastern Community Music School's (CMS) "Summer
Music Celebration 2013," a series of summer programs for young musicians.
"The Summer Music Celebration 2013 includes a middle school band, piano duet,
guitar and string ensemble workshops," said CMS Director Jivka Jeleva.
Musicians in grades five through eight have until May 1 to register for the middle
school band camp, which will take place July 8-12, from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. at the Pottle
Music Building on Southeastern's main campus in Hammond. Tuition is $225 and includes
lunch each day.
Southeastern Associate Band Director Paul Frechou and Assistant Director of Bands
Richard Schwartz will coordinate the middle school band camp. Along with the concert
band, the camp will also offer private lessons and masterclasses, jazz combos, lessons
in improvisation and theory classes, Jeleva said.
The piano duet, chamber music and guitar workshops are scheduled July 15-19,
from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. May 15 is the deadline for the piano duet workshop, while June
15 is the final day to sign up for the guitar and chamber music workshops. Tuition
is $170 per workshop.
According to Jeleva, the piano duet workshop will offer intermediate to advanced
junior high and high school students the chance to explore the rich literature for
piano four-hands. Enrollment is limited to 16 students.
"Each student will be matched with a partner of similar age and ability and be
involved in daily coaching sessions, musicianship classes, masterclasses and a final
recital," Jeleva said. "Dr. Kenneth Boulton, Southeastern associate professor of piano
and the head of the Fine and Performing Arts Department, will conduct the workshop
with his wife and duet partner JoAnne Barry."
Students participating in the guitar workshop will learn how to approach and
arrange music that is typically presented by experienced musicians. This workshop
is open to guitar students 10 years of age and older with at least one year of previous
guitar experience. Enrollment is limited to 20 students, and Southeastern Guitar Instructor
Pat Kerber will teach the workshop.
The chamber music workshop will focus on chamber music repertoire, including
but not limited to duet, piano trio and quartet. The workshop is open to violin, viola,
cello and piano students of any age who have a least one year of experience. Participating
students will have the opportunity to improve sight reading skills, instrumental technique,
and develop stronger ensemble skills, Jeleva said.
CMS will also offer private instrumental and vocal lessons June 10 through July
25.

Ethics in Business lecture to feature international entrepreneur Tal Dehtiar
International social entrepreneur Tal Dehtiar, named one of Fast Company's Most Creative
Business People for 2012, will present Southeastern's 2013 College of Business Ethics
in Business Lecture on Thursday, April 25.
The lecture, titled "Doing Good and Doing Well," is free and open to the public
and will be held in the War Memorial Student Union Theatre.
Dehtiar, 31, is the co-founder of MBAs Without Borders, an international charity
that has engaged hundreds of experienced MBAs from around the world to volunteer and
help build small and social businesses in more than 25 developing countries. In 2009,
he left the nonprofit to launch Oliberté Footwear, the first premium shoe brand manufactured
in sub-Saharan Africa.
Oliberté was not developed as a charity, but as a way of creating stable jobs,
Dehtiar says.
"The last thing I want someone to do is buy our shoes because they feel bad,"
he explains. "If the product didn't sell itself, it wouldn't matter where it was coming
from."
Oliberté's partner factories and main operation is in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia,
and demonstrate fair and equitable practices for men and women with a goal of contributing
to the development of a thriving middle class. The company is environmentally conscious
in its leather tanning processes and uses crepe rubber instead of toxic, man-made
alternatives.
"Mr. Dehtiar is proving that profitability and social responsibility can go hand
in hand," said Randy Settoon, dean of the College of Business. "He is part of a new
generation of social entrepreneurs who are completely redefining the corporate model.
We are pleased to host him on campus so he can share his thoughts and experiences
with our students."
A native of Canada, Dehtiar is a recipient of the Ontario Global Trader Award
and the Arch Award. He was nominated for the YMCA Peace Award and for Canada's Top
40 under 40 and Ernst & Young's Social Entrepreneur of the Year. In 2007 he was named
one of the International Young Foundation's Young Social Entrepreneurs and was recently
named one of Fast Company's Most Creative Business People for 2012.
Dehtiar received his MBA from McMaster University and holds a bachelors degree
from the University of Western Ontario.
Southeastern LSBDC receives national accreditation
The Louisiana Small Business Development Center at Southeastern has been awarded full
accreditation by the Association of Small Business Development Centers (ASBDC).
Director William Joubert said the accreditation review, which is mandated by
Congress, is modeled after criteria established by the national Institute of Standards
and Technology.
"The review process involves an intensive examination of leadership and organizational
management, strategy development, client and stakeholder focus, service delivery and
program performance," Joubert explained.
The ASBDC notes that standards ensure the investments made by federal and state
governments, as well as the host universities, result in strong returns for small
business and the overall economy.
"This accreditation demonstrates the program and our center meet and exceed the
expectations of our funding partners on the state and federal levels," Joubert said.
"Our center will continue to serve the North Shore and the I-12 corridor by providing
key resources needed for business development and growth."
The Southeastern center was recognized last year as the top center in the five-state
region of Louisiana, Arkansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. The achievement ranks
the Southeastern center among the top 10 SBDCs in the nation for 2012.
Since 2004, the Southeastern LSBDC has served more than 3,800 clients and helped
open or expand 223 businesses. More than 2,400 new jobs have been developed with $328
million in capital formation.
"This achievement affirms our commitment to providing quality programs, the highest
customer satisfaction and continuous improvement," said LSBDC State Director Mary
Lynn Wilkerson. "Maintaining our accreditation is critical for the LSBDC to continue
serving small businesses and supporting economic development across Louisiana."
In its accreditation report, the review team recognized the LSBDC's business
continuity and risk management program as a "Best Practice." The program, called Ready
for Anything, provides businesses with education, training and management assistance
needed to minimize losses and increase survivability when affected by workplace disruptions
such as natural or man-made disasters. LSBDC was also commended for ongoing disaster
response efforts following the oil spill and the five hurricanes that have struck
Louisiana in recent years.
Tangi CVB donates $100,000 to Columbia Theatre
The Tangipahoa Parish Convention and Visitors Bureau has donated $100,000 to Southeastern's
Columbia Theatre for the Performing Arts to help the theatre continue to bring quality
entertainment to the parish and region.
The funds will be used to engage top-notch acts to draw attendance from the broader
region stretching from Baton Rouge to Slidell and will allow the Columbia to more
aggressively market performances in corresponding media markets.
"Our goal and primary function is to bring in more tourists to visit and spend
time in our great parish," said Carla Tate, head of marketing for the Convention and
Visitors Bureau. "We are incredibly proud of the Columbia. It is an important asset
that can bring more tourists to experience the great things the theatre itself can
offer, but also give the opportunity for visitors to spend time in Hammond and the
greater Tangipahoa area. We hope that this investment enables the Columbia to continue
to be a strong presence in the parish for culture and arts."
"We are very appreciative of this investment in the Columbia," said C. Roy Blackwood,
professor of art and interim director of the theatre. "It will help in so many ways.
The Columbia Theatre is a regional treasure that can continue to serve as an artistic
and performance centerpiece for Hammond, Tangipahoa Parish and the entire North Shore."
"With committed partners like the Convention and Visitors Bureau, Southeastern
can build strong institutional ties to the community," said Wendy Lauderdale, vice
president of University Advancement. "One of the tenets of our mission is to lead
the economic and cultural development of the region. This gift helps us continue to
be a strong participant and leader in this endeavor."
COLUMBIA DONATION – Officials with Southeastern, the Columbia Theatre for the Performing Arts Advisory
Board, and the Tangipahoa Parish Convention and Visitors Bureau gathered together
for a check presentation at the theatre. Pictured are, from left Terry Brown Sr.,

University Police Department offers self-defense class for women
The Southeastern Police Department will be hosting a Rape Aggression Defense (RAD)
self-defense class for the women of our community on May 3, 4, 5.
This class is open to female Southeastern students, employees, and their guests
12 years of age or older. There is no charge for currently enrolled Southeastern students.
There is a charge for Southeastern current faculty/staff. Students or employees may
bring non-student guests at a charge of $25 per guest (one guest per student/employee;

at all three sessions is necessary to complete the course.
The R.A.D. System of Physical Defense is currently being taught at many colleges
and universities and in communities throughout the United States, Canada, and the
United Kingdom. The growing, widespread acceptance of this system is primarily due
to the ease, simplicity and effectiveness of our tactics, solid research, and unique
teaching methodology.

and phone number to Officer Scott Huff, UPD RAD@southeastern.edu or call the Southeastern Police Department at 549-2222.
Vonnie Borden Speech and Theatre Festival
The Department of Languages and Communication hosted 15 area high schools at the Vonnie
Borden Speech and Theatre Festival in March.
A qualifying event for the State Literary Rally, the Festival has taken place
at Southeastern for over 25 years.
"This was one of our biggest years ever," says Vonnie Borden Speech and Theatre
Festival Chair Terri Miller-Drufner. "Every year seems to get bigger and bigger. We
invite schools from all over the district, and it's such a wonderful experience for
high school students to visit Southeastern and compete against their peers."
During the day's activities, each school is awarded points when students place
in their categories. Students compete in such areas as extemporaneous speaking, prose,
poetry, dramatic interpretation, dramatic duo and original oratory address. Additionally,
schools can bring a performance for the one-act play category. Those scoring superior
rankings in their events move on to the state level of competition.
For the first time in five years of participating, Dutchtown High School won
first place overall in school rankings. Covington High School was the runner-up.
"It was Covington's first time at the event," Miller-Drufner said. "It's exciting
to see a new school come in and do so well."

"Sonata for Horn, Trumpet and Trombone" by Francis Poulenc; "Triangles for Horn, Trombone
and Tuba" by John Stevens; and an arrangement of "Revecy Venir du Printans" by Claude
