SSU TO CELEBRATE 20 YEARS
Shawnee State University (SSU)
marks a huge milestone this year, 20 years as a university.
SSU served the needs of area students as a
community college until House Bill 739 became law on July 2,
1986 after then-Governor Richard Celeste signed it in
April.
SSU usually celebrates Founders’ Day in the fall
so more students, most of whom are not on campus in the
summer, can participate.
“We always
celebrate Founders’ Day, but since this year is such an
important anniversary we are going to have a week of
activities,” Susan Warsaw, executive director of development
at SSU, said.
The week of
events, beginning Sept. 25, will include various lectures by
SSU professors and guest speakers, planetarium shows,
greenhouse tours, a student and faculty art show, mini-zoo
tours, and email trivia. There will be a 1980s themed dance
on Friday for students and FallFest, SSU’s annual fall
concert will be during this week as well. Student Activities
will announce the entertainment for FallFest later along
with ticket information.
The highlight
of the week will be a community picnic on Saturday. The free
community picnic will include a birthday cake competition,
entertainment, giant inflatables, and games. The bookstore
will be open to sell SSU merchandise and there will be a
special insert about SSU’s history in the “University
Chronicle,” SSU’s student newspaper.
“We are also
going to dedicate the newly renovated Allied Health Sciences
Building during this week,” said Warsaw.
Kathleen
Battle, a five-time Grammy award-winning soprano, will be
performing in the Vern Riffe Center for the Arts (VRCFA) as
part of the anniversary activities. Tickets for the show
will be available at the McKinley Box Office.
All events
will be open to the public unless otherwise noted.
SSU developed
a new logo in honor of the anniversary.
“The new logo
demonstrates the great pride we at SSU feel for having
reached the 20-year milestone, and shows how excited we are
to celebrate our anniversary with the community,” said Rita
Rice Morris, SSU’s president. “The 20th
anniversary logo includes the phrase, ‘Honoring Our
Past—Poised For Tomorrow’ because we are proud of our
accomplishments over the last two decades. We look forward
to even greater achievements in the future.”

AEP
EMPLOYEE ROBERT TEICHMAN HONORED BY GRANT TO SSU
Shawnee State University (SSU) Development
Foundation has received a grant from American Electric
Power (AEP) in honor of employee Robert Teichman’s
significant volunteer service.
The AEP Connects Program recognizes the
commitment of AEP employees and retirees to their
communities and supports causes that are important to
them, according to Michael G. Morris, chairman,
president and chief executive officer. He said more than
780 grants were made company-wide last year representing
more than 130,000 volunteer hours donated by AEP
employees’ retirees and their families.
“Although no monetary grant can compare to the
value of the time our employees and retirees give to
worthwhile causes, the $150 grants made by this program
in the names of AEP volunteers will help schools and
non-profit organizations meet the challenges of
fulfilling important needs,” Morris said.
The grant was recognized at the June meeting
of SSU’s Board of Trustees by President Rita Rice Morris
who thanked Teichman for his years of service to SSU.
“Robert Teichman’s service to SSU has been
invaluable to the university’s growth and development.
We join AEP in recognizing him for his service,” said
Rice Morris.

SSU’S CLARK MEMORIAL LIBRARY TO GET GRAPHIC
NOVEL COLLECTION
Shawnee State
University (SSU) will be getting a valuable new
asset thanks to funding by the Development
Foundation.
The Clark Memorial Library will be
enhancing SSU’s graphic novel collection.
“‘Graphic novel’ is one of those terms
that has stuck even though it may not be the most
appropriate term for what it describes,” said Darren
Harris-Fain, Ph.D., assistant professor of English
and incoming chair of the Department of English and
Humanities. “Basically, it is anything published in
comic book format as a book.”
According to Harris-Fain, graphic novels
have become increasingly popular during the last few
decades. The graphic novel emerged in the U.S. in
the late 1970s, but similar formats had existed
decades earlier in places like France and Japan, he
said.
Harris-Fain,
a comic books and graphic novels scholar, and Tess
Midkiff, director of SSU’s library, have worked
together in the past to establish a graphic novel
collection at SSU.
Currently, SSU has about 15 graphic
novels. The $1,200 Development Foundation grant will
allow SSU to purchase an estimated 125 more graphic
novels.
“The ones we have are very popular,”
Harris-Fain said. “Often when I go to check them
out, they are either at another Ohio Link school or
one of our students has checked them out.”
Ohio Link allows students to check out
materials from other participating universities.
“Graphic novels definitely have more of
a younger readership,” said Harris-Fain. “There’s
the older comic readership, people like myself who
have been reading comics for decades, and this is
just the latest format to keep reading these
stories.”
“There’s
still a stigma among many older people that comic
books are not as literary or artistic as other
format,” he said.” One of the things that has
happened with the rise of the graphic novel is the
idea comics can be as sophisticated as other
mediums. The stigma doesn’t exist with many younger
readers. They’ve grown up with comics.”
According to Harris-Fain, in Japan,
business executives read comics on the subway.
Although comics haven’t become as widely-popular in
the U.S. as in other countries, the rise of graphic
novels and the adaptation of several graphic novels
into popular movies has increased acceptance of
comics, he said.
Graphic
novels adapted into movies include “V for Vendetta,”
“The League of Extraordinary Gentleman” “From Hell”
with Johnny Depp, ”The Road to Perdition” with Tom
Hanks, and “American Splendor,” the autobiographical
work of Harvey Pekar, among others.
“We will
probably have one of the largest collections of
circulating graphic novels in the state thanks to
this grant,” said Harris-Fain. “A few other
universities have graphic novel collections. Ohio
State and Bowling Green University have very large
comic book collections but they usually do not loan
out their monthly comics. More and more university
libraries and public libraries are developing
graphic novel collections.”
Harris-Fain
plans to compile a prioritized list of graphic
novels by the end of the summer to begin adding to
the collection. He hopes to continue to build the
collection in the future.
“This is
meant to encourage SSU students to check out
materials just for their own pleasure and that’s
already happening with the graphic novels we’ve
already gotten,” he said.
Graphic
novels have also emerged as an academic pursuit.
“I’m using ‘American Splendor’ in my
‘American Film History’ class,” Harris-Fain said.
“I’m having students read the graphic novel and then
we will watch the film version of it.”
The academic study has only been around
for about 40 years, according to Harris-Fain.
“Some of our professors use them in their classes,
so we are buying them as a genre for study,” said
Tess Midkiff, director of the Clark Memorial
Library. “Years ago, all we bought were
books, then we started buying movies, software,
kits, and other things. This is one more thing we
want to buy to expand the library. We don’t want to
limit ourselves to books.”
The graphic novels should be available
for checkout sometime during fall quarter.

SSU TO HOST WORKSHOPS FOR NON-TRADITIONAL
STUDENTS
The Shawnee State University (SSU)
Development Foundation has funded the Office of
Student Support Services and the Student Success
Center to host two one-day workshops to assist
non-traditional, adult learners in their
transition to the college. The workshops will
be held August 31 and September 5 from 10 a.m.
to 2 p.m. in the Student Success Center.
Research
data from the SSU Office of Instructional
Research indicates adult and non-traditional
students drop out at a much higher rate than
traditional college students.
The workshops will provide tools to
non-traditional learners to assist them with
their transition to college.
“Many non-traditional students
sometimes feel like a fish out of water when
returning to college,” said Teresa Redoutey,
coordinator of academic support. “This bridge
program is designed for those students, and we
will focus on answering their questions and help
them feel comfortable here at SSU.”
The program
will serve 20 entering students. Participants
will receive instruction in the following
areas: family and work resources, career
options, computer navigation systems, time
management, study skills, and resource
availability.
“Many
non-traditional students need assistance with
computer access,” said Brian Saul, program
instructor and admission officer. “One area we
touch on is their name and password to access
campus computer privileges. It might seem small
but if students cannot log on, they don’t have
access to e-mail, Internet, library research
services, Blackboard classroom system, word
processing, and a host of other benefits.”
“Returning
to college after being out of school for a
number of years can seem daunting; in fact,
downright scary,” said Susan Warsaw, executive
director of SSU’s Development Foundation. “The
Foundation is gratified that we can help those
students make a smooth transition.”
Warsaw
said the grants distributed by the Foundation
are made possible by the unrestricted gifts of
donors.
For more information or to enroll, call the
Student Success Center at (740) 351-3130.
For more
information on how to donate to the SSU
Development Foundation, call (740) 351-3284.

BENTLEY RECEIVES ALUMNUS OF TOMORROW AWARD
Jared Bentley, a recent Shawnee
State University (SSU) graduate, received
the Alumnus of Tomorrow award, which is
presented each year by the SSU Alumni
Association to a graduating student who
shows great promise for the future at the
Evening of Honors reception in May.
“I had no idea I was going to
win, it was quite unexpected,” said Bentley,
who earned a Bachelor of Science in biology
in the pre-med program this spring. “After
the initial surprise subsided, I realized
what an honor the Alumnus of Tomorrow Award
is and how proud I am to be the recipient.
I am a little nervous knowing I have large
shoes to fill, but it is a challenge I look
forward to fulfilling.”
Bentley was nominated for the
award by SSU custodian Meredith Glaze and
Eugene Burns, Ph.D., associate professor of
biology and chair of the department of
natural sciences.
“I became acquainted with
Bentley about three years ago,” said Glaze.
“I knew he was Minford High School’s
valedictorian and was involved in many
activities. I nominated him because he
always has a smile on his face, and I
believe he will make a great doctor.”
“Bentley has achieved success
both in the classroom and laboratory,” said
Burns. “He has been a student in several of
my classes and has performed undergraduate
research in my laboratory. He is
inquisitive, conscientious, and motivated as
well as highly capable of understanding
difficult concepts. He will make a good
medical school student and physician in the
future.”
“When Tracey
Leo, the chair of the awards committee
announced that Bentley had won, it was the
best reaction of the night,” said Angela
Henderson, assistant director, development.
“His whole family started cheering and that
made it exciting.”
Bentley was accepted into five
medical schools. Before deciding to attend
the University Of Cincinnati College Of
Medicine, he received acceptance letters
from Ohio University College of Osteopathic
Medicine, Wright State University College of
Medicine, Marshall University College of
Medicine, and University of Kentucky College
of Medicine.
“As with most graduating
seniors, there is a world of change
occurring this summer,” said Bentley. “Two
weeks after graduation I am getting married
to my best friend and long-time girlfriend
Brittani Boldman of Lucasville. Together we
are moving to Cincinnati and I will begin
medical school in early August.”
Bentley said after completing
medical school, he plans to specialize in
some facet of emergency medicine or
surgery. His ultimate goal is to return to
the Scioto County area and serve those who
have supported him.
During his career at SSU,
Bentley participated in various activities
and clubs, such as Phi Beta Sigma, Tri-Beta
Biological Honor Society, the chemistry
club, pre-med club, and intramural
football. He held several offices in the
clubs, including pre-med club president,
Tri-Beta historian, and chemistry club
treasurer. Last year he brought in
speakers, organized social events, and led
community service activities for Tri-Beta.
Bentley worked as a lab assistant for
several classes including anatomy and
physiology and tutored other students in
chemistry, biology, and physics.
“He did all of this while
working as an EMT and serving as a volunteer
fireman for his hometown fire department,”
said Burns.
Bentley describes his experience
at SSU as wonderful.
“The most beneficial attribute
for me was the small class size and
one-on-one guidance I received,” said
Bentley. “Whenever I needed help, it was
there for me.”
Bentley said he owes special
thanks to the department of natural sciences
and his advisers, Burns and Scott Oliver,
D.D.S., professor of biological sciences.
“I have never met two educators
who are so dedicated to teaching others,”
said Bentley. “The effort put forth by
these two men is a prime example of going
above and beyond expectations.”
Bentley said he believes the
drive for student success of the individual
is unparalleled among other state
universities.
“I can proudly say at SSU I was
never ‘just a number,’” said Bentley. “I
was Jared Bentley, a person with goals in
which the university strived to do
everything necessary to facilitate their
accomplishment.”
Bentley’s advice to future SSU
graduates is to develop a close relationship
with advisers and also other students.
“Get to know your adviser well
and form close relationships with those in
the same field of study,” said Bentley. “In
my case, through developing friendships with
those in the same major, I was able to share
my stresses, find a variety of study
partners, and also develop a great deal of
motivation.”
Nominations for the Alumnus of
Tomorrow award were submitted by faculty,
staff, parents, and other alumni. Bentley
was chosen for the award by the Alumni
Awards Committee, which is comprised of
members of the Alumni Council and other
alumni.

SSU ADMISSIONS OFFICE RECEIVES GRANT FOR
ACADEMIC MICROPHONE
The Shawnee State University (SSU)
Development Foundation has funded a grant
for the Office of Admissions to receive a
Universal Serial Bus (USB) microphone for
recording interviews with SSU professors
which will be available on SSU’s website for
prospective students to download.
“This tool will allow us to
expand our use of the Internet as a
recruiting mechanism,” said SSU admission
officer Brian Saul. “The purpose of the
interviews is to educate people on programs
offered by SSU. Professors will talk about
why they chose their field and what to
expect from classes.”
Last year, Saul interviewed
Michael Barnhart, senior music instructor,
as a draft project for the academic
microphone.
“Hearing
the interview gave me a broader
understanding of the music program and I
felt it would be extremely helpful for
future students,” said Saul.
To listen to
Saul’s interview with Barnhart, visit
http://www.shawnee.edu/off/adms/musicatssu.wma.
“I invite any
feedback or suggestions regarding the
interview,” said Saul. “If future students
would like more information on certain
subjects or professors, I would like to know
so I can make the interviews better.”
Saul said he
hopes to have interviews available online by
October 2006.
“The
Development Foundation is pleased to help
with new student recruitment in any way
possible,” said Susan Warsaw, executive
director of SSU’s Development Foundation.
“The interviews will serve as a positive
addition to the university’s website.”
Warsaw
said the grants distributed by the
Development Foundation are made possible
through the unrestricted gift of donors.
For more information on how to make a
donation, contact the Development Foundation
at (740) 351-3284.

microphone interviews, contact Brian Saul at

New Students in the University Center at SSU’s Orientation

SSU WELCOMES NEW STUDENTS
Shawnee State University (SSU) welcomed new
students and their parents to campus orientation on June 22
for tours, information regarding financial aid and classes,
and a buffet lunch in the SSU Vern Riffe Center for the Arts
(VRCFA).
SSU welcomed the entire family to spend the day on
campus. While new students registered and familiarized
themselves with the campus, parents attended their own
orientation which covered topics such as safety and
financial aid.
“It’s a big adjustment and a big expenditure of
resources to go to college, so we are trying to orient the
family,” said Dale Taylor, director of SSU’s Student Success
Center. “There is a great deal of information to digest.”
According to Taylor, approximately 160 students
and 150 parents completed orientation.
Nine SSU student orientation leaders gave tours,
assisted with registration, and answered questions. After
advisers assisted new students in choosing classes, the
orientation leaders helped each new student register online
in the computer lab.
The group relaxed and socialized in the Baxter
Lounge of the University Center (UC) while orientation
leader Carissa McCann, an SSU senior majoring in education
with a licensure in multiage intervention specialist,
answered questions and gave out prizes to the students.
