LIVE with TMJ4
Wed Feb 16 | Noon | Facebook

TODAY Vice Chancellor for Advancement Willie Jude II will be the featured guest today on “Lunch with Carole Meekins,” a Facebook Live chat hosted every Wednesday by TMJ4 Anchor Carole Meekins.

“Lunch with Carole Meekins,” is an informal conversation that features local leaders whom the Emmy award-winning anchor finds inspiring. The main aim is to highlight the work of individuals who are change agents within their communities. Today’s chat will focus on Vice Chancellor Jude’s work and accomplishments as an African American vice chancellor and why he’s invested in uplifting southeastern Wisconsin. Meekins will also explore how Jude applies his sports background to his current role.  
 
“I am delighted to share Mr. Jude with the public. He certainly is an important role model,” she said. “We need strong, intelligent Black men in the forefront during these challenging times.”

UPDATES AND INFORMATION
Dean James Takes on Dubai!

Dean Peggy James, of the College of Social Sciences and Professional Studies, was recently in Dubai for the World Expo 2020 focusing on Connecting Minds, Creating the Future.

Here is what Dean James has to say about her experience:

"The future of data and digital technology is now. The Dubai world expo, with 192 country pavilions demonstrates that the digital age is upon us, from Germany to Kazakhstan to Algeria. Drones are delivering medicine to rural areas of Africa, Germany is developing tractors that use lasers to eradicate weeds rather than pesticides, Denmark is using air to make synthetic methane to make coffee. 

And, for those of us in education- which of course is ALL of us- the medium for learning is immersive technology with an objective for seamless human-machine interaction. Throw away your smelly markers, and go get an Oculus!"

The UW-Parkside Student Showcase is a campus-wide event in which all UW-Parkside students (undergraduate and graduate students) involved in student-faculty collaborative research, scholarship, Community-Based learning (CBL), Poetry/Prose Readings, Oral Interpretations, and creative activities (performances, exhibits, etc...) are encouraged to participate. 
 
A project can from any number of diverse types of projects in or outside of a course. It could be independent scholarly work for any major from any department conducted with a faculty/academic staff mentor. It can be a project associated with a course, an internship, or a community-based learning (CBL) program. Further, it could be a project conducted during the current spring semester, or it could have been done and completed the previous fall or summer. 
 
Types of student presentations to choose from (can be more than one): 
- Posters of independent research, creative activity, class-based scholarly, internship, or CBL projects 
- Professional Portfolios (tables to be provided) to display portfolios in art, business, theatre design/technology, capstone projects, or creative works

- Readings of poetry, prose, speeches, or oral interpretations 
- Short performances in music, theatre arts, project-based videos/movies
 
Note, students planning to present at both the UW-Parkside Student Showcase AND the UW-Symposium can present the same work (talk, poster, creative work, etc...). In fact, the Showcase event is scheduled a few days prior to the UW-Symposium to provide a "warm up" for students who might be nervous about presenting at a larger conference.

Sincerely,
