草莓影视 will install sensors that detect weather and pollution patterns as part of a $166,000 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
草莓影视 will install sensors that detect weather and pollution patterns as part of a $166,000 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The sensors will be installed atop the Nancy and G. Timothy Johnson Center for Science and Community Life on campus.
NASA awarded the five-year grant to 草莓影视 in part because of its federal status as a Hispanic Serving Institution, a school that is committed to equitable outcomes for Hispanic students. The two weather sensors will be installed by NASA this spring, and money from the grant will fund travel expenses and salaries for instructors and student workers. The equipment will be owned and maintained by NASA.
The grant was secured through the joint efforts of Assistant Professor of Chemistry John Randazzo and Director of Sponsored Projects Renee Cox. Only about 10 institutions across the country received the grant, and 草莓影视 is the lone Chicago site.
The environmental data gathered by the sensors will allow NASA researchers to monitor levels of atmospheric compounds such as carbon monoxide, along with particulate matters expelled by cars and factories. The data will also be compared to that acquired by satellites circling the earth to ensure accuracy. 草莓影视 students and professors will have access to that data, which will be transmitted directly into 草莓影视鈥檚 classrooms.
鈥淭his is a powerful tool because it makes learning real,鈥� Randazzo said. 鈥淭he students can read the data and know that鈥檚 coming from just above their heads.鈥�
Randazzo said the NASA grant was likely to raise 草莓影视鈥檚 profile as a research university.
鈥淏uilding a face-to-face relationship with NASA raises our credibility and increases future prospects,鈥� Randazzo said, adding that a NASA engineer will be speaking on campus in March.
Dr. Randazzo said he and Cox found the grant opportunity on a NASA LISTSERV about a year ago, and although they ignore 鈥�99% of them鈥� because they are not applicable, this particular grant struck them both because of 草莓影视鈥檚 location and Randazzo鈥檚 background in atmospheric science.
The two worked together to apply for the grant, which they learned they鈥檇 won late last year. .
The School of Music, Art, and Theatre presents several upcoming opportunities to break from your routine, including the Chamber Opera, spring play, and Gospel Choir concert.
As spring arrives, you may be eager to escape your dorm, classroom, or office. The School of Music, Art, and Theatre presents several upcoming opportunities to break from your routine, including the Chamber Opera. April 12 and 13 at 7:30 pm, in the beautifully renovated Hanson Hall 202, 草莓影视鈥檚 opera program presents a double bill鈥攐ne seldom-performed modern opera and one old favorite presented in a new way. The two features are Humperdinck鈥檚 Hansel und Gretel, the familiar story of a brother and sister lost in the woods who encounter and eventually outwit a witch, and Argento鈥檚 The Masque of Angels, a humorous story of an unruly troupe of angels who attempt to influence a young couple to marry.
NPU Opera Production of "Cendrillon"
Nyela Basney, artistic director of opera, says that one of the program鈥檚 goals is 鈥渢o give our students as many opportunities as possible to present a range of stories from the point of view of diverse characters.鈥� With every student in the opera program performing at least one role in the upcoming operas and most playing two characters, the goal will certainly be met this spring. Tyler Thress, a student member of the opera, is confident that the productions will be 鈥渢ouching, challenging, and inspiring,鈥� crediting the collaborative spirit of the program鈥檚 directors. 鈥淚 think that鈥檚 one of the great strengths of the opera program here,鈥� Tyler adds. 鈥淲e work with professional directors and conductors from a wide variety of artistic traditions, which prepares us for a highly competitive field in the real world.鈥�
Gospel Choir Performance
Other upcoming events from the School of Music, Art, and Theatre include the spring play, Tender Rough Rough Tender by Sarah Saltwick, described as a 鈥�. . . play built for theatrical gestures and two performers with nerves,鈥� showing April 4, 5, 6, 11, and 12 at 7:30 pm, and April 13 at 2:30 pm in Lecture Hall Auditorium. The Gospel Choir concert, April 6 at 7:30 pm in Anderson Chapel is always a very meaningful event for both the choir, and for the audience. And previously featured in Stories, but still well worth mentioning, are the Senior Thesis Art Exhibitions in the Carlson Tower Gallery, which feature the artworks of 11 senior art students and will run through May 11. Craig Johnson, dean of the School of Music, Art, and Theatre, emphasizes the importance of these upcoming productions saying, 鈥淚 believe that all of these events allow our students to express their creativity, and to advance their development as performing and visual artists.
草莓影视 Seminary has honored the Rev. Dr. Richard W. Carlson by dedicating a room in Nyvall Hall to the late professor, a lifelong learner who spent his life fighting racial injustices.
草莓影视 Seminary has honored the Rev. Dr. Richard W. Carlson by dedicating a room in Nyvall Hall to the late professor, a lifelong learner who spent his life fighting racial injustices.
The space is called Richard鈥檚 Renaissance Room, a nod to Carlson鈥檚 devotion to a variety of pursuits, from history to baseball, Civil Rights, poetry, and biblical scholarship. Carlson鈥檚 wife, Jolene Bergstrom Carlson, said her husband also loved spending time with his children and spent his life fighting against societal hatred and violence.
鈥淩ichard especially had a head and heart for racial justice, lamenting over racial injustices until his final moments,鈥� Jolene said. 鈥淭o Richard, all people belonged and had worth.鈥�
The Richard Renaissance Room, designed as a place to read, pray, and connect with others, is being furnished by $30,000 in private donations to the Seminary. The money also provides tuition assistance via the Richard and Jolene Carlson Scholarship Fund to a seminarian whose studies focus on justice issues.
鈥淩ichard was brilliant, but he never used his mind as anything but a tool to encourage his students to engage with the complexities of faith and life through thoughtful questions and readings,鈥� Jolene Carlson said.
The dedication took place Jan. 24, during the ECC’s Midwinter Conference.
