Southeastern presents President's Awards for Excellence
Southeastern honored five faculty and staff members Friday (Aug. 15) at the university's
annual fall convocation with the President's Awards for Excellence, the university's
highest honor for faculty and staff.
Receiving the awards were: Samuel C. Hyde Jr. of Denham Springs, professor of
history; Lorinda Sealey of Baton Rouge, professor of nursing; Dale Newkirk of Covington,
professor of art; Debra Dolliver of Hammond, professor of organic chemistry; and Connie
Davis of Hammond, director of Auxiliary Services
Hyde, who holds the Leon Ford Chair for Regional Studies and is director of the
Center for Southeast Louisiana Studies, is the recipient of the President's Award
for Excellence in Research. He is the author of several historical texts, a specialist
in the history and culture of southeast Louisiana, and the acknowledged expert on
the Florida Parishes of Louisiana and the West Florida Republic. Hyde was also honored
with a President's Award in 2001.
A member of the Southeastern faculty since 1989, Sealy is being honored with
the President's Award for Excellence in Teaching. When the university introduced its
doctorate program in advance nursing practice two years ago, Sealy was called upon
to serve as graduate coordinator and to help develop the curriculum and implement
the program. In addition to teaching students through online courses in the master's
and doctoral programs, she also serves as a valuable mentor for new faculty members.
Newkirk, is the recipient of the President's Award for Excellence in Artistic
Activity. A widely respected artist, especially in the areas of sculpture, drawing
and photography, he has had more than 20 one-person exhibits in major museums in cities
such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, Santa Fe, New Orleans and Chicago. In addition
to teaching, he serves as the university's director and curator of University Art
Galleries, including the highly visible Contemporary Art Gallery.
Dolliver is the recipient of the President's Award for Excellence in Faculty
Service. She is also a second-time recipient, having been recognized several years
ago with the Award for Excellence in Teaching. Dolliver has played a major role in
writing grants that enabled the department to gain several important pieces of equipment
essential for teaching and research: a gas chromatography mass spectrometer and a
National Science Foundation-funded Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometer. She has
also played important roles in the department's recruitment efforts and arranging
for students to attend national and regional conferences.
The President's Award for Excellence in Unclassified Staff Service was given
to Connie Davis. A double graduate of Southeastern, Davis participates in many community
activities. She is a founding board member of the children's theater group, The Octavian
Foundation for the Arts. She is an active volunteer at Holy Ghost Catholic Church
and School, St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic High School, and at St. Albert the Great Catholic
Student Center. In addition to her voluntary service on numerous Southeastern committees,
such as Homecoming and Rock 'n Roar, Davis is also active with her professional association,
the National Association of College Auxiliary Services, serving as President and filling
other official positions.

Dale Newkirk recognized for Artistic Excellence
(NOTE: This is the first of a series of profiles on recipients of the 2014 President's
Awards for Excellence.)
If art imitates life, then Dale Newkirk, this year's recipient of the President's
Award for Excellence in Artistic Activity, is living a great one.
In addition to being a well-respected artist himself with more than 20 one-person
exhibitions, Newkirk, an associate professor of visual arts, serves as director and
curator of University Art Galleries, including the Contemporary Art Gallery.
"Dale is a rare individual, combining a keen sense of artistic sophistication
and intellect with a formidable eye for curating numerous exhibits in Southeastern's
Contemporary Art Gallery, a venue he launched in 2004 and shaped into a center of
national import," said Interim Head of the Department of Fine and Performing Arts
Ken Boulton. "His tireless efforts have resulted in no fewer than 99 distinct exhibitions
featuring the work of regional, national, and international artists. Each exhibit
is stunning and thought-provoking. His capacity to seek out subject matter relevant
to today's society, combined with a profoundly discerning artistic sense is what has
transformed our gallery into a nucleus of consistent scholarship, creativity and beauty."
A member of the faculty since 2003, Newkirk's body of artwork includes sculpture,
public art, installations, drawing, and, to a lesser degree, photography. Since receiving
his Master of Fine Art in 1984, he has had 22 one-person exhibitions, four two-person
exhibitions, and participated in 71 group exhibitions. These include exhibitions in
major museums and galleries in the art centers of New Orleans, Los Angeles, San Francisco,
Santa Fe, Chicago, Madrid, Mexico City, and New Delhi. He has also completed five
public sculpture commissions and three stage designs for theatre.
As a curator, Newkirk has developed a national reputation for exhibitions that
push contemporary boundaries and expand ideas of how art functions in society.
"Exhibitions such as the 'National Cell Phone Photography Exhibition' had over
300 entries and influenced other curators who created similar exhibitions in their
galleries," Newkirk said.
He added that the "Ink and Needles: Tattoo Art Exhibition" he curated for the
Contemporary Art Gallery is one of the few exhibitions on this subject in a fine art
context.
"It took over a year to break down barriers and to build the trust needed to
get artists to agree to be in the exhibition," he said. "The exhibition led to another
exhibition, organized by the LSU Union Art Gallery. The LSU exhibition focused more
on photo images from the history of the tattoo, but also used my artist list for the
contemporary portion of the show. I contacted and invited the artists to be in their
exhibition and organized and moderated a panel discussion."
Newkirk says his artwork has been nonrepresentational, with the exception of
photography and some early drawings. He traditionally works in a visual language that
comes out of intuitive studio practice. As an artist, he prefers additive processes,
constructing forms in space by adding layers of visual information.
Since his appointment at Southeastern, Newkirk's focus in the studio has been
on painted, wall-mounted constructions and drawings made for galleries. The wall-mounted
constructions are made of common construction lumber, paint and encaustic. The sculptures
are constructed, then cut apart and reformed, revealing surprising visual relationships
and interior spaces.
"These sculptures are concerned with the problems of nonrepresentational painting,
as well as issues inherent in contemporary sculpture," Newkirk said. "The objects
have been informed by a tradition of post-minimalist artwork, and are concerned with
scale, color, form, surface, texture, and architectural structure."
Since 2007, Cole Pratt Gallery in New Orleans has represented Newkirk's work
and by contract controls the rights for the exhibition of his art, with an exception
given for faculty exhibitions and those that expose students and the Northshore community
to his artwork. His work has also been represented by Brunner Gallery and HH Gallery
in Covington.
"Mr. Newkirk's extraordinary productivity provides our students with the very
best example of how to succeed in this industry," Boulton said. "His efforts help
to ensure that our graduates are among the most equipped either to enter the workforce
or continue their studies at the graduate level."

Students begin college career with Traditions at Southeastern
Southeastern students once again have the opportunity to begin a new semester getting
to know their peers and all that the university has to offer thanks to "Traditions."
"Traditions provides new and returning students with various programming and
information to assist them in making Southeastern their home away from home," said
Vice President for Student Affairs Marvin Yates. "Students have the opportunity through
Traditions to get to know each other and the campus and become comfortable with the
routine of campus life.
"Students who become engaged with their selected institution early in their college
careers generally perform better academically and socially," Yates added. "We see
this as a way of engaging new and returning students at Southeastern."
Traditions began yesterday with Move-in Mane-ia from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the
new Student Union, where students checked in at their designated move-in time and
received Traditions materials.
Tonight, University Housing, Hall Council and Department of Recreational Sports
and Wellness will host a Fiesta Party and Late Night with the Pennington at 7:30 p.m.
at the Pennington Student Activity Center.
Today and tomorrow, students will be able to participate in concurrent activities
happening all over campus, such as a welcome back picnic and a trip to the mall via
the Lion Traxx shuttle service. These events will be hosted by recognized student
organizations.
Tuesday concludes with Strawberry Jam, the official semester kick-off party in
Strawberry Stadium. Sponsored by the Division of Student Affairs and Athletics, Strawberry
Jam is scheduled from 6 – 8 p.m. and includes a live performance by Bag of Donuts,
free pizza and drinks, and giveaways.
Traditions will conclude on Wednesday, Aug. 20, the first day of classes, with
First Day Q&A. Scheduled from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Student Union Quad, students
can stop by the Traditions tent to get answers to all their first day questions.

Southeastern Channel to rebroadcast Lions' historic football playoff games
The Southeastern Channel, Southeastern's educational cable access channel, will provide
area football fans their first opportunity to relive the Lions' historic NCAA playoff
games from the 2013 championship season beginning Thursday, Aug. 21.
The Southeastern Channel has licensed the rights to rebroadcast the Lions' opening
round win over Sam Houston State and their quarterfinal loss to New Hampshire, the
first NCAA playoff games in Southeastern football history and the first televised
replays of the playoff games anywhere since the games were played last December.
Southeastern's last-second, 30-29 win over Sam Houston State will debut at 8
p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 21, while the 20-17 quarterfinal loss to New Hampshire will
first air at 8 p.m. the following Thursday, Aug. 28. Both games will re-air at 2 p.m.
Friday, 8 a.m. Saturday, and 1 p.m. Sunday right after the initial Thursday broadcast.
"We purchased the rights to rebroadcast these games so that Southeastern football
fans could relive and enjoy two of the most dramatic and historic moments in Lion
football history on the Southeastern Channel," said Southeastern Channel General Manager
Rick Settoon. "It's a great way to lead into the beginning of what should be another
very exciting season."
Settoon said that the playoff games will also re-air on the Southeastern Channel
at selected times throughout the next year.
The Lions, ranked third in the nation in most pre-season FCS polls, open their season
Aug. 30 in Strawberry Stadium against Jacksonville.
The Southeastern Channel, which replays Southeastern football broadcasts each
week during the season, can be seen on Charter Cable Channel 18 in Tangipahoa, St.
Tammany and Livingston parishes and on Channel 17 in Washington Parish. The live 24-7
webcast and archived video can be viewed at www.southeastern.edu/tv.
Sociology Goes to Cuba
The Sociology 2014 Study Abroad trip in May took place in Cuba, a country few Americans
get to visit.
Many sociology students as well as psychology, business and nursing students
attended. They spent much of their time in the bustling and historic capitol of Havana,
but they also visited rural towns and the French and Spanish inspired Cienfuegos on
the southern coast and the Bay of Pigs, where they spent a relaxing afternoon swimming
in the beautiful turquoise Caribbean waters. Students found it striking how similar
the architecture and even culture was to that of the French, Spanish and Caribbean
inspired New Orleans.
Students learned about the history, culture, arts, education and healthcare systems,
and the environmental challenges facing the island. Importantly, students witnessed
first-hand the island's sustainable agriculture movement by visiting cooperatively
run and owned organic farms, formed in the recession years following the fall of the
Soviet Union, and other food centered operations that incorporate arts, cultural and
construction education into their sustainable food projects.
Students also got to engage in intelligent dialogue about freedom of speech, Cuban inequality, and the pros and cons of the US embargo. The trip was a great educational success, and next year's trip is now being planned.
Southeastern student chosen for ESPNU Campus Connection
Southeastern graduate student and sports reporter Kati Morse has been chosen by the
ESPNU college sports television network as one of its on-camera reporters for ESPNU
Campus Connection.
Beginning this fall, Morse will serve as Southeastern's correspondent for live
ESPN game broadcasts involving the university's athletic teams for the year, including
sideline reporting for four broadcasts slated for ESPN3 and ESPNGamePlan during the
upcoming football season.
As an ESPNU Campus Connection reporter, Morse will write, report and produce
feature stories about Southeastern's athletes, coaches and campus for SportscenterU,
ESPNU's flagship show. She will also report for College Football Daily, a weekday
show covering the latest in college football news.
"This opportunity with ESPNU seems to be all of my dreams coming to light," said
Morse, a former Southeastern softball player. "ESPNU is a world leader in broadcasting
college athletics, and it's what athletes and TV personalities alike see as the 'big
show.' The best of the best work for this company, and I'm thrilled to have this opportunity."
Morse will also contribute online content about Southeastern athletics to ESPNU.com,
the online companion to ESPNU and the home for college sports multi-media content.
Launched in 2008, ESPNU Campus Connection brings viewers the latest sports news
from campuses around the country through student-generated content. It is designed
to spotlight campus life through the eyes and voices of students and enable ESPN to
find and develop young, talented people who could potentially work with their company.
Morse is the first Southeastern student selected for ESPNU Campus Connection.
"This year with ESPNU will broaden and enrich my industry experience immensely,"
Morse said. "I will be working on a real-world deadline, as well as having to tailor
stories to a national audience. Not only will I get valuable professional experience,
but I will also be able to show the charm of Southeastern to the world."
Morse is currently a reporter, anchor and producer for the Southeastern Channel's
award-winning, student sports magazine show "The Big Game," modeled ESPN's SportsCenter.
She also produces and hosts "Lion Tracks," a sports talk show featuring Southeastern
coaches.
"My experience at the Southeastern Channel has more than prepared me for this
opportunity," Morse said. "Since I will have to shoot, edit, write and report every
piece that I turn in, my time behind and in front of the camera for the Southeastern
Channel will allow me to fulfill my obligations more quickly and professionally."
"Kati has the talent, motivation and work ethic to achieve great success in television
sports broadcasting," said Southeastern Channel general manager Rick Settoon. "It's
only fitting that she's been chosen by ESPNU, since she has the vision and ability
necessary to one day work full-time for ESPN."
A native of Ponchatoula and former Lady Lions softball pitcher, Morse was selected
by the Southland Conference television network and ESPN3 to serve as color commentator
for the 2014 SLC softball tournament.
A graduate in communication with a concentration in electronic media, Morse is
currently a graduate assistant in the Southeastern Sports Information Department,
pursing her masters degree in organizational communication. Her various duties include
live sideline and stadium reporting that appears on the Strawberry Stadium scoreboard
during Lion football games.
In 2013 Morse was named the only female athlete in the country to win the prestigious
Jim McKay Post-Graduate Scholarship. She was recently honored by the College Sports
Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) as winner of the 2014 Langston Rogers Scholarship
for Women and Minorities in Sports Media. Morse has also been awarded a Florida Parishes
Bank John McGee Scholarship.
