Syracuse University faculty members hope that the first-year seminar course replacing SEM 100 next academic year will better equip students to talk about race and identity.
Chandice Haste-Jackson is the recently-appointed interim director of the course, called FYS 101. In this role, she’ll lead a team of SU faculty to oversee the implementation of the course and track its progress.
WCBU s On Deck has everything you need to know to start your day for Monday, March 1, 2021. Our top story is about how the Chillicothe Library s NEA Big Read starts tomorrow. WCBU s Tim Shelley talks with librarian Catherine Barnett about what they hope people take away from the book Lab Girl. You ll also hear how former U.S. Attorney John Milhiser left his job last week as part of the Biden transition. Milhiser s central district of Illinois covers 46 counties including the Tri-County Area. In his two-year tenure, Milhiser says he emphasized improving relationships with area law enforcement and prosecutors. In this interview with Edith Brady Lunny, Milhiser says a Tri-County area case is an example of his success in that.
The Chillicothe Public Library s NEA Big Read starts Tuesday. Lab Girl is geobiologist Dr. Hope Jahren s autobiography, showing how her youthful fascination with plants evolved into a career in science.
Chillicothe Public Library librarian Catherine Barnett said organizers have planned several programs around the book. COVID-19 changes what those offerings look like, but also offers opportunities. It s been kind of unique in this season to take advantage of the virtual tools in order to partner with libraries that are more far-flung, she said.
That includes an online keynote address with Jahren herself on April 17, and a panel on women in science conducted by the Peoria Ag Lab.
