John Parcell, an associate professor of music at Sinclair Community College, has been named the 2009 Ohio Professor of the Year by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education and Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.

Parcell will receive his award today, Thursday, Nov. 19, at a ceremony at the Willard InterContinental Washington in Washington D.C.

&amp;#8220;Dr. Parcell is a gifted and award-winning musician and composer, but in the eyes of his students and colleagues, he is first and foremost an exemplary teacher,&amp;#8221; said Kathleen Cleary, dean of Sinclair&amp;#8217;s liberal arts, communications and social sciences division.

Parcell &amp;#8220;creates a welcoming, yet challenging environment that is marked by a spirit of innovation, risk-taking and a palpable desire for excellence,&amp;#8221; Cleary said.

Parcell&amp;#8217;s awards also include a Certificate of Merit from the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival, and the National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development&amp;#8217;s Excellence Award.

Administered by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education and sponsored by the Carnegie Foundation, the Professor of the Year awards recognize professors for their influence on teaching and their commitment to undergraduate students.

The awards are given to four national winners. State-level Professors of the Year are being recognized in 36 states, the District of Columbia and Guam.

Urbana University is once again hosting a national exhibit. 

Just months after it was chosen to host the Ben Franklin exhibit, the university was chosen as a display site for NASA images of the galactic center region as part of the International Year of Astronomy 2009 celebration. 

This year commemorates 400 years since Galileo&amp;#8217;s first telescope in 1609. 

An all-day celebration will be held Monday, Nov. 23, including the unveiling of the two grand images of the MIlky Way, and presentations from local astronomy experts. 

The public is invited to attend and participate in the activities in the Student Center beginning at 4 p.m.

At 4 p.m. in the Moore Room, Urbana University students will lead young visitors through various hands-on activities.

Two programs on Galileo will take place in the Sarah Landess room at 5 p.m. 

The director of Boonshoft Museum will discuss Galileo and why his work with the telescope was so important. 

The program will include an explanation of the telescope used by Galileo; a model will be on display. 

A speaker from the Miami Valley Astronomy Society (MVAS) will follow with a discussion on how we got from Galileo&amp;#8217;s ground based telescope to the Hubble Space Telescope. 

At 6 p.m. in the lower level of the Student Center outside of the Moore Room, Urbana University President Stephen Jones and Chantelle Rose, Graham High School science teacher and a finalist for the Teacher in Space Program, will unveil the two photograph images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, the Spitzer Space Telescope, and from the Chandra X-ray Observatory. 

Following the unveiling, Robert Hendrix, Urbana University professor emeritus in mathematics and science, will explain the details of the photographs while Rose will talk about the future of the exploration of space and space travel.

Weather permitting, at 6:45 p.m. telescopes will be available for viewing the night sky.

For those not able to attend this celebration, the photographs will be on permanent display in the Urbana University Student Center.

A Columbus man was sentenced to 10 to 25 years in a West Virginia prison, having pleaded guilty to second-degree assault in connection with an April sexual assault of a Wittenberg student. 

According to the Intelligencer, Wheeling News-Register, Leonard Braynen Jr. 34, a Bahamian national, could be deported after he serves his prison time. 

Braynen was employed by the Columbus-based Urban Express Bus Company and transported the students Friday, April 3, to Oglebay Resort in Wheeling, W.Va.

About 55 students were attending the fraternity-sponsored weekend trip, Wittenberg officials had said.

According to court documents, the student involved told law enforcement officials she had consumed alcohol on the way to the resort and had passed out on the floor in a bedroom of the lodge, where the other students were having a party. She said she awoke later to find a man sexually assaulting her.

Several witnesses told police they saw Braynen leave the darkened bedroom and rejoin the party. Friends of the young woman immediately went in to check on her and found her crying and saying she had been raped.

He loves this country, and you will love his story.&amp;#8221;

<![CDATA[Dayton is one of seven cities to receive a grant to help boost college graduation rates by improving coordination among colleges, schools and cities.

The $250,000 grant was announced on Monday, Nov. 9, by the Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Foundation and the National League of Cities.

The grant is part of a National League of Cities initiative to help officials explore ways in which they can work together to streamline services to low-income adults attending community colleges.

Sinclair Community College will lead the local effort in collaboration with the City of Dayton, Montgomery County and Dayton Public Schools.

&#8220;Preparing and connecting our young adults to living wage careers is key to their future success, and to the sustainability and health of the Dayton community,&#8221; said Dayton Mayor Rhine McLin in a media release.

The grants will support nine-month collaborative planning efforts in each of the seven cities.

The Gates Foundation will consider investing additional money next year to support the implementation and expansion of the most promising ideas that result from this planning.

The Dayton planning team will use the grant to strengthen partnerships, services, education, training and data systems to assist low-income people ages 16-26 earn post-secondary degrees and certificates, according to Sinclair officials.

&#8220;Dayton&#8217;s selection in the Communities Learning in Partnership grant program is a clear endorsement of our ability to collaborate,&#8221; said Steven Lee Johnson, Sinclair president.

The other cities selected for the grant program are Jacksonville, Fla.; Mesa, Ariz.; New York City; Phoenix, Ariz.; Riverside, Calif.; and San Francisco.

Sinclair in June was announced as one of five institutions to share in more than $4 million in grants from the Gates Foundation to expand remedial education programs that promise to boost graduation rates.

Eric D. Fingerhut, chancellor of the Ohio Board of Regents, will provide congratulatory remarks on Sunday, Nov. 8, at a reception honoring nearly 600 local scholars of the Choose Ohio First Scholarship Program. The event will be held at 2 p.m. at the Dayton Convention Center.

U.S. Air Force Col. Bradley D. Spacy, commander of the 88th Air Base Wing and Installation at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, will give the keynote address.

The scholars, from the eight institutions that make up the Dayton Regional Collaborative, represent some of Ohio&amp;#8217;s most promising students studying in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Medicine (STEM) and STEM education programs, according to the Board of Regents.

&amp;#8220;Our future workforce depends on our ability to retain our best and brightest students in Ohio,&amp;#8221; Fingerhut said. &amp;#8220;This next class of STEM scholars will become the competitive advantage our businesses need in a global marketplace.&amp;#8221;

Students chosen to participate in the two-year, $100 million Choose Ohio First Scholarship Program are Ohio residents studying in STEM disciplines, the health care professions or STEM teacher education. Scholarships are awarded in varying amounts, from $1,500 to $4,700 annually, to promising undergraduate and graduate students at Ohio institutions.

Eight area colleges and universities joined together to form the Dayton Regional STEM Collaborative, which was awarded a $3.9 million grant from the Board of Regents for their proposal, &amp;#8220;Growing the STEM Pipeline in the Dayton Region &amp;#8212; Becoming an International Center of Excellence for Human Effectiveness/Human Performance.&amp;#8221;

Wright State University is the lead institution in the Dayton Regional Collaborative. The other schools are Central State University, the University of Dayton, Wittenberg University, and Clark State, Edison, Sinclair and Southern State Community Colleges.

The Coconio Sandstone at the Grand Canyon was formed in a water, not desert environment, according to research conducted by Cedarville University&amp;#8217;s Associate Professor of Geology. 

Professor John Whitmore, presented the results of his 10 years of research during last month&amp;#8217;s annual meeting of the Geological Society of America.  

The Coconino Sandstone is a rock layer near the top of the Grand Canyon. Many geologists believe it was formed in a wind-blown desert environment and the formation&amp;#8217;s large sloping cross beds are the remains of ancient desert sand dunes.  

Whitmore collected samples of this sandstone for microscopic examination of the sand grains. He found the sandstone contained dolomite ooliths, small ball-like structures that are only formed in marine settings. Other features such as grains of very soft mica were also evident under the microscope.  

&amp;#8220;We would not expect to see these minerals if this sandstone was formed in a desert,&amp;#8221; Whitmore stated in a university release.  &amp;#8220;The blowing action of sand would quickly destroy these minerals; however they might survive if carried and deposited by water.&amp;#8221;

Central State University will hold a ribbon-cutting on Thursday, Nov. 5, to open its Natural Sciences Department in the newly completed Center for Education and Natural Sciences.

The event will take place at 11 a.m. on the Central State campus in Wilberforce, Greene County.

The Center for Education and Natural Sciences (CENS) is the first new academic building on the Central State campus in more than 20 years, according to university officials.

Phase I of the project, which houses the 60,000-square-foot College of Education, was completed in the fall of 2006 at a cost of $13.9 million.

Phase II is the Natural Sciences Department, a 40,000-square-foot facility that houses the university&amp;#8217;s biology, chemistry and physics areas, as well as a greenhouse. The cost of the new addition was $9.8 million, according to Central State officials.

&amp;#8220;The completion of this state of the art Center for Education and Natural Sciences represents continued growth and advancement for the university,&amp;#8221; said John W. Garland, Central State president. &amp;#8220;Students and faculty have the opportunity to work and learn in one of the premier educational facilities in the state.&amp;#8221;

Central State is Ohio&amp;#8217;s only public, historically black university. It has record enrollment this fall of 2,436 students, according to university officials.

The University of Dayton Health Center has received its first supply of H1N1 flu vaccine for UD students, according to university officials.

This limited supply of vaccine will only be made available on Thursday, Nov. 5, to UD students age 24 and younger who have underlying medical conditions that might put them at high risk for complications from H1N1, also known as swine flu.

Those conditions include asthma, diabetes, heart disease and kidney disease, as well as pregnancy.

An immunization clinic for UD students with underlying medical conditions will be held from 4-6 p.m. Thursday in the MAC gym at the RecPlex.

Students who wish to receive the H1N1 flu vaccine must bring their UD student IDs and wear clothing that allows the upper arm to be easily exposed, according to university officials. Those without a student ID will not be allowed to receive the vaccine.

Students who receive the vaccine will be required to complete a registration form.

The Health Center expects to receive additional doses of the H1N1 vaccine in the near future, and all UD students age 24 and younger will be encouraged to get the vaccine at that time.

UD faculty and staff are instructed to contact their doctors regarding the H1N1 vaccine.
