More Than One Hundred Students and
Teachers
Attend Math Day at CNR
Dr. Maryam Hastings gave the keynote address at the
second annual Sonia Kovalevsky High School Mathematics Day for
Girls held at CNR on February 13, 2009. Dr. Hastings, the Director
and founder of the Marymount Science/Mathematics Workshop or High
School Girls, currently teaches mathematics at Fordham University. Dr.
Hastings, who received her Ph.D. from the University of Toledo in
Topology, has authored numerous publications and has made
presentations in the areas of topology, mathematics education, and
women in math and science.
The special academic event featured math and science problem solving
contests and a career panel. More than 100 students and 18 teachers
from six local high schools participated in the all-day event
sponsored by Con Edison.
Mathematics Days for High School Girls are intended to encourage young
women to continue their study of mathematics as they move from high
school to college. This day is named in honor of Sonia Kovalevsky, a
widely known Russian mathematician of the late 19th century who was a
distinguished writer and advocate for women’s rights.
CNR Launches New Website
In January, The College of New Rochelle launched their new website. The
Office of College Relations worked with Peapod Design of New Canaan,
CT, to create the site. Check out the site at: www.cnr.edu.

“After I graduated from CNR, I obtained a
management position with an increase in salary of over $10,000 a year.
That position took me to Columbia University Medical Center.
Without attending the Rosa Parks Campus of The College of New Rochelle,
I would not have met the supportive academic family that assisted me
with my life."

Dr. Amy Bass,
Associate Professor History and Director of the SAS
Honors Program, published “Exploring the Wide World of Sports: Taking a
Class to the (Virtual) Olympics” in Teaching
American History, edited
by Gary Kornblith and Carol Lasser (Bedford St. Martin’s, 2009).
According to the publisher, the book features “a set of
thought-provoking essays from a wide range of top scholars that helps
instructors of the U.S. survey consider pedagogy, assessment,
re-centered narratives, ‘uncoverage,’ as well as textbooks and other
course materials.“ According to one reviewer, "When you open this
collection of articles, you’ll step into an exceptionally thoughtful,
vivacious colloquy among college historians who practice active
learning in infectiously creative ways.”
Dr. Kenneth J. Doka,
Professor of Gerontology in the Graduate
School, was quoted in the February issue of O Magazine about
“disenfranchised grief,” a term that he coined in 1985 where the pain
of a significant loss is not openly acknowledged or socially supported.
“Your ex-husband passes away, for example,” says Dr. Doka, “and your
friends don’t see why it matters.” In the article Dr. Doka gives four
ways to ‘claim your right to grieve’.
Dr. Marie Londrigan,
Associate Dean in the School of Nursing,
co-edited with Dr. Sandra Lewenson, Decision-Making
in Nursing:
Thoughtful Approaches for Practice. The book, published last
fall by
Bartlett Publishers, recently won the American Journal Book of the Year
Award.
Dr. Barbara F. McManus,
Professor Emerita of Classics, received the
Distinguished Service Award from the American Philological Association
at the plenary session of their annual meeting held in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania on January 10, 2009. Dr. McManus was cited for her
“generosity, vision, commitment, and numerous important contributions
throughout her career.”
Dr. Lynn A. Petrullo,
Professor of Biology in the School of Arts and
Sciences, presented her research on using student-produced animations
in PowerPoint to teach and learn biology concepts at the New York
University Faculty Research Network National Symposium on Defining and
Promoting Student Success. The symposium was held at the University of
San Francisco last November. Dr. Petrullo’s session was entitled,
“Visual Learning in Science Education: Strategies for Promoting
Engagement and Understanding.”
Dr. Frank T. Rizza,
Assistant Professor of Mental Health Counseling
and Career Development in the Graduate School, gave two presentations
in the Canoe Creek Charter Academy in St. Cloud, Florida. Dr. Rizza
spoke to multiple classes on “Teens, Drugs and Alcohol” on January 14,
2009 and on “Using Holland Codes to Help Find a Career Path” on January
12, 2009.
Adrienne Wald,
Director of Wellness Education, served as a volunteer
running/walk coach and helped train 30 participants of the
Westchester/Fairfield "Team Challenge" to run or walk in the ING Miami
Half Marathon on January 25, 2009 and raise funds for the Crohn's &
Colitis Foundation of America. The Team Challenge was featured in the Journal News, click
