Southeastern expands OSH&E program with new minors
Southeastern is expanding its occupational, safety, health and environment program
to include three new minors designed to complement existing degree programs and help
meet employment needs in the area's workforce.Sebastian van Delden, head of the Department of Computer Science and Industrial Technology, said the new programs will be implemented in the fall 2014 semester.
The programs include minors in diverse areas of the OSH&E discipline: safety, health and environment.
Van Delden explained the safety minor includes coursework on laws and regulations, construction and chemical safety, product and system safety, fire protection and prevention and behavioral aspects of safety. The health minor addresses ergonomics, industrial hygiene and toxicology, while the environment program covers environmental laws and regulations, hazardous materials management and pollution control technology.
Southeastern's OSH&E bachelor's degree is one of only a few of its kind in the nation. The program is accredited by the Applied Science Accreditation Commission of ABET, Inc., the international accrediting agency for these programs. Initiated in 2004 from a two-year associate degree program, the OSH&E degree is designed to meet the needs of industries in the region for properly prepared professionals to work in the increasingly complex field of safety and health in the industrial setting, van Delden said.
Lu Yuan, associate professor and OSH&E program coordinator, said students who graduate with the OSH&E degree automatically earn the designation of Graduate Safety Practitioner, a gateway to earning the Certified Safety Professional certification.
"OSH&E graduates are in high demand in south Louisiana because of our highly industrialized business sector," Yuan explained. "Last year, 14 of our 15 graduates secured employment in their field of study within one month of graduation."
Southeastern graduate Shaine Babineaux, associate safety engineer with Valero Energy Corporation, said the program provided him with the resources he needed to develop aptitude in the safety field.
"The knowledge I gained from this program is essential to my current job position and has helped in the development of my professional career," Babineaux added.
The OSH&E program is growing faster than we originally predicted, with 120 students currently in the major," van Delden added. "The demand for these graduates will persist for the foreseeable future, and Southeastern is poised to fill this crucial workforce demand of the industries in the region.
The program has caught the eye of industry professionals trying to keep up with the demand for qualified employees.
Louisiana is currently experiencing the biggest industrial building boon since the 1980s, and there is a huge need for educated safety personnel to help keep workers safe," said Lance Roux, a certified safety professional and principal consultant at SafetyPro Resources, a Baton Rouge-based consulting firm. "Southeastern offering a minor in OSH&E is an excellent way to help develop safety expertise in our state. It's a win-win for both students and industry."
Southeastern students see the minors as a valuable addition to the degree they are working toward in the field of industrial technology.
When I learned of these new programs, I got really interested in enhancing my skill set with additional course work in safety," said George Reeves, senior industrial technology student from Tickfaw. "I feel that by adding this minor to my studies in IT, I will have greater opportunities when I graduate and start looking for a career."

Southeastern to host composer Gwyneth Walker
Widely performed composer Gwyneth Walker of New Canaan, Conn., will be at Southeastern
Friday, March 21, to conduct a masterclass and a workshop for the university's composition
students and singers.
A masterclass for solo singers will be conducted from 10:30 a.m. to noon, and
a choral workshop will be offered from 1:30 to 3 p.m., where the Southeastern Concert
Choir and Women's Chorale will sing selected pieces composed by Walker. Both will
be conducted in the Pottle Music Annex Building Choir Room. A question and answer
session with composition students and singers will be held from 3 to 4 p.m. in the
Pottle Music Annex Recital Hall.
All events are free of charge and open to the public.
"It is thrilling to have an internationally known composer visiting us," said
Vocal Area Coordinator Alissa Rowe. "Our students will have an opportunity to sing
for her and get to work one-on-one with her on their repertoire."
Walker's compositions include over 300 commissioned works for orchestra, chamber
ensembles, chorus and solo voice. Her special interest has focused on dramatic works
that combine music with readings, acting and movement.
Walker is a graduate of Brown University and the Hartt School of Music where
she earned her bachelor's, master's and doctorate degrees in music composition. She
is a former member of the faculty at the Oberlin College Conservatory.

Award winning writer Rich Cohen to be featured in Southeastern's 'Common Read' program
New York Times bestselling author Rich Cohen will visit Southeastern Monday, March
24, as part of the institution's spring Common Read program.
Sponsored by the Department of English, the Southeastern Writing Center, and
the Student Government Association, Common Read provides students and community members
the opportunity to read the works of an important contemporary author and then actually
meet the writer.
Events that day include student presentations on Cohen's work at 9:30 a.m. and
an 11 a.m. question and answer session with the author. At 7 p.m. Cohen will perform
a reading of his own work, followed by a question and answer session, book signing
and reception. All events are open to the public and will be held in the Student Union
Theatre.
Among his works is "The Fish that Ate the Whale," a biography of Samuel Zemurray,
a Russian immigrant who came to New Orleans and rose from a fruit peddler to president
of the United Fruit Co. The book details Zemurray's role as a powerbroker, working
behind the scenes with mercenaries, CIA agents, Central American governments and American
elected officials and statesmen.
A native of Chicago and a resident of Connecticut, Cohen has written 10 books
and a host of magazine articles for publication such as "The New Yorker," "The Atlantic,"
"Harper's Magazine," and "Vanity Fair," where he is a contributing editor. He has
won the Great Lakes Book Award and the Chicago Public Library's 21st Century Award,
and his stories have been included in "The Best American Essays" and "The Best American
Travel Writing."
"For several years now, we've sponsored a Common Read program, featuring a prominent,
contemporary author, and it always serves as an exciting experience for our students,"
said Department of English Head David Hanson. "By meeting and talking with an author
who they're studying intensively in class, students gain a rare opportunity to see
deeply into an author's life of writing."

Southeastern students spread community spirit through 'The Big Event'
More than 500 Southeastern students spread their good will and thanks to area communities
and organizations by volunteering their Saturday morning (March 15) to service projects
in the region.
Moving heavy furniture, cleaning, landscaping, painting and other activities
occupied the students as they went from site to site as part of the Student Government
Association-sponsored The Big Event. This is the fourth year Southeastern students
are participating in The Big Event, a nationwide effort to involve students in community
service.
"I think The Big Event is a really great thing we have at Southeastern. It gives
us a chance to thank the community that we call home while we attend the university,"
said Taylor Petit, a marketing major from Luling, who served as co-director of the
service day. "We are grateful for what the community does for us and are very willing
to give back when we can.
"It's so awesome that in a few hours we can make such great connections to the
people in our community," she added. "A few internships were actually given out Saturday
to some of our volunteers."
Mark Goree, associate pastor at Immanuel Baptist Church in Hammond, was high
in his praise of the work done around the church facilities by students from Sigma
Sigma Sigma sorority, Delta Tau Delta and Kappa Sigma.
"These are good kids and they all did a great job," Goree said. "The girls cleaned
windows, and the guys moved some very large, heavy pieces of furniture from upstairs.
It was a tremendous amount of work that would have taken us weeks to accomplish, and
they knocked it out in a few hours. We're an older congregation, and our members physically
just aren't able to do this kind of work."
