Southeastern nursing instructor named to LPN Board
Southeastern Nursing Instructor Barbara Gibbs has been appointed by Gov. Bobby Jindal
to the Louisiana State Board of Practical Nurse Examiners.
The appointment is for six years. The board reviews complaints regarding licensed
practical nurses and decides on disciplinary actions that can range from suspensions,
license revocations or other recommendations.
A former instructor in practical nursing for three tears with Northshore Technical
Community College, Gibbs joined the Southeastern faculty in January last year. She
has served as a staff nurse at North Oaks Medical Center and as the nurse educator
at Lallie Kemp Hospital in Independence.
Gibbs holds both a bachelor's degree and master's degree in nursing from Southeastern.
She is a resident of Hammond.
Southeastern ranked among best colleges for financial aid
Southeastern has been ranked among the top 50 colleges in the country for the financial
aid packages it offers to its students.
The web site BestColleges.com ranked the university 45th for its institutional
scholarships that cover tuition and housing assistance for incoming freshmen based
on their qualifications. The amount of a student's award varies according to the applicant's
high school GPA and ACT scores.
"The costs associated with higher education have certainly risen, especially
over the last several years," said Enrollment Services Director Lori Fairburn. "We
recognize that fact and are working in every way to help reduce the financial burden
students are facing."
She said most of these students also qualify for the state-sponsored TOPS scholarship
program, which provides cash awards to be applied to tuition costs.
Fairburn said that in addition to scholarships awarded to incoming freshman,
Southeastern also awards scholarships to students transferring from other institutions
if they meet certain criteria. The Sen. Ben Nevers Transfer Scholarship was established
several years ago to assist those students transferring from community colleges or
other institutions.
Other scholarships and financial aid assistance are available to students through
the university's work-study program. Departmental scholarships are available to students
according to their academic discipline and completer scholarships are available to
students within one year of graduation.
BestColleges.com states that rankings are developed through the use of student
and faculty surveys, independent research, other ranking systems and input from credible
and authoritative sources, such as the U.S. Department of Education.
The full report with a complete list of rankings is available online at http://www.bestcolleges.com/features/best-financial-aid/.
Southeastern hosts first Technology Career Fair
Southeastern hosted its first-ever career fair for technology on Wednesday (March
26), attracting more than 20 area employers looking to fill numerous positions in
high-demand tech fields.
A collaborative effort between the Office of Career Services and the Department
of Computer Science and Industrial Technology, "Tech-Connect 2014" was an opportunity
specifically for the university's computer science, engineering and industrial technology,
and occupational, safety, health and environment (OSHE) majors to learn about job
availability in their fields of study.
"We held this special career fair because of the very high demand for these graduates
in this region," said Computer Science and Industrial Technology Department Head Sebastian
van Deldan. "It made sense to offer this new technology-specific recruiting event
in order to provide employers interested in recruiting with an opportunity to do so
face-to-face in a career fair setting."
And Tiffany Cressionnie, licensing and compliance manager for Smitty's Supply,
Inc., could not have been more pleased with the opportunity.
"The Southeastern students that come to us are very qualified, prepared and ready
for the workforce. They have had a lot of exposure and experience while in school,"
she said. "We work closely with the instructors and professors at Southeastern to
provide tours of our facility to the students to show them what actually happens day
in and day out in our facility – what a real job in their field is like."
According to Director of Career Services Kenneth Ridgedell, Tech-Connect offered
two main components for employers deciding to participate – a mini career fair from
9 a.m. to noon and optional, same-day on-campus interviews for employers. The fair
had approximately 250 students who participated, with at least 30 students being interviewed
in the afternoon by potential employers.
"In addition to the regular Southeastern Career Fair held each September, this
one allows tech companies an opportunity to interact with our students every six months,"
he said. "Moving forward, our plan is to continue to offer the annual, university-wide
career fair in the fall and this technology-specific career day in the spring."
Southeastern student Joseph Naquin was happy to take advantage of Tech Connect.
"Since I'm a senior, I came to see what jobs are available in my field," said
Naquin, a computer science major from Mandeville. "Currently, Blue Cross has 15 jobs
available. I would not have known that if it had not been for the fair today."
For more information about Tech Connect or Career Fair, contact Ridgedell at
549-2121, or kridgedell@southeastern.edu.
CONNECTING WITH TECHNOLOGY – Joseph Naquin, left, and John Song, both computer science majors from Mandeville, speak with Adriane Allen of Blue Cross Blue Shield about job opportunities with the company.

The Southeastern Alumni Association will host its annual Golden Silence, a ceremony

members, on Thursday, April 3, at 6 p.m. in the Student Union Park.
"We encourage the campus and the public to let us know if someone from the Southeastern
family, such as students, faculty and staff or graduates, has passed away during the
past year so that they can be honored at Golden Silence," said Alumni Association

Pittman added that the association has also initiated its Eternal Chapter, which
memorializes all deceased alumni on an ongoing basis. The web site can be accessed
at southeastern.edu/alumni.
To include a name in the Golden Silence program or for information on the Eternal

Southeastern presents 13th annual Bill Evans Jazz Festival
Southeastern will pay homage to jazz legend and alumnus Bill Evans with its annual
festival in his honor this month.
The 13th annual Bill Evans Jazz Festival honors the deceased seven-time Grammy
Award winner and 1950 Southeastern graduate, considered the most influential jazz
pianist of his generation.
Sponsored by the Department of Fine and Performing Arts, this year's festival
is expanded to include a high school jazz band festival and a performance by Lincoln
Jazz Center Orchestra trumpeter Marcus Printup.
Printup was discovered by Marcus Roberts at the University of North Florida in
1991. Printup started on trumpet in the fifth grade, played funk as a teenager, and
in college was part of a 10-piece band called Soul Reason for the Blues. Since that
time, he has toured and recorded with Roberts, played with the Lincoln Center Jazz
Orchestra, recorded with Carl Allen, performed with Betty Carter, and cut a number
of albums as a leader for Blue Note.
This year's festival will include:
The Southeastern Alumni Band will perform Thursday, April 3, at 7:30 p.m., in Pottle
Music Building Auditorium. Admission is free.
Adjudication of high school bands begins Friday, April 4, from 2 – 4 p.m. Also on
Friday, the Southeastern Jazz Combos and Marcus Printup Quintet will perform at 7:30
p.m. in Pottle Auditorium. Tickets are $10 in advance or $15 at the door.
Adjudication of high school bands continues on Saturday, April 5, from 9 a.m. to
1 p.m. with the awards ceremony scheduled at 1:45 p.m. At 2 p.m., the Southeastern
Jazz Ensemble will perform a free concert in Pottle Auditorium with Printup as special
quest.

After earning his bachelor's in Marketing in 1987 and MBA in 1988, both from

Research. He now has over 25 years of marketing experience, including serving as product

of South Florida's mentoring program and participated on USF's Board of Advisors.

For more information, contact the Department of Fine and Performing Arts at 549-2184.
Southeastern Theatre to present "Doubt: A Parable"
Southeastern's theatre program will present the award-winning play "Doubt: A Parable"
April 8 – 11.
The performance will take place at Vonnie Borden Theatre in D Vickers Hall at
7:30 p.m. General admission tickets are $10; $5 for Southeastern faculty and staff,
seniors, and non-Southeastern students. Southeastern students are admitted free with
ID.
Written by John Patrick Shanley, "Doubt" debuted off-Broadway in 2004 before
transferring to Broadway the next year and closing in 2006 after 525 performances
and 25 previews.
Southeastern Instructor of Acting and Directing Chad Winters, who directs the
play, said "Doubt" follows the story of Sister Aloysius Beauvier, a strict, conservative
nun at a fictional Catholic church and school in the Bronx. After hearing a rumor
from a fellow nun about possible sexual misconduct by the parish pastor, Father Brendan
Flynn, she initiates her own investigation into the matter.
"Doubt" won the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and a Tony Award for Best Play.
It was turned into an Academy Award-nominated film starring Meryl Streep as Sister
Aloysius and the late Philip Seymour Hoffman as Father Flynn.
The production stars Dani deMontluzin of New Orleans as Sister Aloysius, Matthew
Carona of Independence as Father Flynn, Felicity Prosperie of Houma as Sister James,
and Kayla Turner of Hammond as Mrs. Muller.
For more information, contact Southeastern Theatre at 549-2115.
SOUTHEASTERN PRESENTS 'DOUBT' – Dani deMontluzin of New Orleans, left, playing the role of Sister Aloysius, talks with Kayla Turner of Hammond in a rehearsal for the play "Doubt" to be presented by Southeastern Louisiana University's theatre program April 8-11.
Acclaimed music composer to serve as artist-in-residence, perform with Wind Symphony
in concert 'Give Us This Day'
Southeastern's Department of Fine and Performing Arts will host acclaimed music composer
David Maslanka as artist in-residence April 8-10.
During his three-day visit, Maslanka, a composer of more than 40 works for wind
ensembles and bands, will lecture to several music classes, conduct masterclasses
in percussion and saxophone, and meet with students.
Maslanka's visit will include his supervision of a concert titled "Give Us This
Day" by the university's Wind Symphony and the St. Amant High School Band to be held
at the Columbia Theatre for the Performing Arts at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 10.
The performance is free and open to the public.
"We are extremely pleased to host world-renowned composer David Maslanka for
this residency," said Director of Bands and Wind Symphony Conductor Glen J. Hemberger.
"His compositions have been performed throughout the United States and in many places
throughout the world. Both our faculty and our students should benefit from meeting
and learning from this master composer."
Originally from New Bedford, Mass., Maslanka began his musical training on the
clarinet. He attended Oberlin College Conservatory of Music, studied at the Mozarteum
in Salzburg, Austria, and earned his doctorate in composition from Michigan State
University. He has served on the faculties of State University of New York-Geneseo,
Sarah Lawrence College, and New York University. Since 1990 he has been an independent
composer and currently resides in Missoula, Mont.
The concert program Thursday includes Johann Sebastian Bach's "Little Fugue in
G Minor," Charles Ives' "Country Band March," Maslanka's "Concerto for Alto Saxophone
– Movement I; Song: Fire in the Earth" featuring Southeastern senior Jonathan Lyons,
and Maslanka's "Symphony No. 4." The concert will conclude with Maslanka's "Give Us
This Day."
Maslanka is widely known for his "Symphony No. 4," which has become a major composition
in the wind band repertoire, Hemberger explained.
"The symphony was written for only the most advanced music ensembles to perform,
as evidenced by its demanding technique, style, range and duration," he added. "It
has been viewed by many as one of the hardest pieces penned for band and necessitates
the highest level of musicianship."
"Give Us This Day," he said, premiered in 2006 and has literally taken off in
popularity. While the title is based upon the Lord's Prayer, Maslanka's inspiration
for the music comes from a Vietnamese Buddhist monk, whose premise is that the earth's
future lies in individuals becoming deeply mindful of themselves.
"Give Us This Day" will be performed with the St. Amant High School Band.
"For many years, the St. Amant Band has been considered at the top of the list
of high school band programs in Louisiana," Hemberger said. "They regularly achieve
regional and national recognition for high standards of musical expectations and accomplishment.
Southeastern has a number of St. Amant graduates in our band program, and we benefit
from the outstanding musical training these young musicians receive there."
