Or, to put it another way

:

The goal of a major research university is to make stars of its faculty.

The goal of the UVU College of Science is to make stars of our students.

Slide6

The Direction for COS in 2020/2021

Retention

and

completion

will be major issues for the next several years.

What should we do about that?

Communicate with students

Discuss careers

Slide7

The Direction for COS in 2020/2021

Retention

and

completion

will be major issues for the next several years.

What should we do about that?

Communicate with students

Provides students with direction

Creates a sense of belonging

Lets students know you care

Communication is especially important now

Students feel distanced from the university, and from those of us who are here to help them.

Students need extra direction.

Slide8

The Direction for COS in 2020/2021

Retention

and

completion

will be major issues for the next several years.

What should we do about that?

Communicate with students

Discuss careers

The UVU student population is especially motivated by the career potential of their degrees.

Discussing careers in class is proven to increase retention.

Discussing careers in general education classes can turn gen ed students into science majors.

Slide9

The Direction for COS in 2020/2021

Retention

and

completion

will be major issues for the next several years.

What should we do about that?

Communicate with students

Give them direction, let them know you care.

Discuss careers

Motivate by being career counselors.

If a student is in danger of failing your class, submit an

Early Alert

so that a Student Success Specialist can help that student succeed.

Slide10

COVID Update

Information available at the

UVU COVID web page

.

Masks are required in all UVU buildings.

In your classroom, office area, and lab rooms, you can ask people to wear masks.

Remain calm and non-confrontational.

Tell students they can participate with advising or in class via live stream

If a student can’t wear a mask due to disability or medical issue, refer them to

Accessibility Services

.

If a student is uncooperative, contact the

Student Conduct office

.

Slide11

COVID Update

Limits to our operations

Travel

No overnight, nonessential travel.

For local class field trips and research travel,

Be aware of

motor pool occupancy limits

.

Plan for students who do not own cars.

Research

Research operations must be consistent with safety guidelines (PPE, spacing, etc.). Contact Danny Horns for details

Slide12

COVID Compassion

We are all stressed, and we are all feeling our way through the dark.

Expect an unusual number of student issues (missing classes, late assignments, etc.)

Maintain expectations for learning, BUT

Be compassionate

and willing to work with students

Jessica Wager

Lecturer

My name is Jessica Wagner and I am a lecturer in the biology department. I have been teaching introductory biology 1610 here at UVU as an adjunct since fall 2015 and am looking forward to expanding to more sections of 1610 and helping more students learn to love biology! Before teaching at UVU I worked as a Study Director in the microbiology department at Nelson Laboratories in Salt Lake City where I managed all incoming studies and lab tests for nonsterile medical products following test procedures outlined in USP 61 and USP 62 protocols. Though I miss my time in the lab, my true calling is in the classroom. I love the energy of campus and the excitement the students bring each semester. When I’m not teaching, I’m spending time with my husband and 3 kids either glamping, traveling, swimming, exploring nature, or hanging out watching movies.

Slide32

Introduction of New Faculty and Staff Department of Mathematics

Matthew (Blue) Taylor

Lecturer

Blue is a strategic innovative math instructional specialist who has worked in a variety of roles and lenses in math education, building capacity among departments and teacher communities to create more engaging learning environments which in turn are more responsive to student needs and support teachers to continuously reflect on and improve their craft. Tutoring at an after school program and working at a wilderness youth retreat in southern Utah led to a shift from focusing on the complexities of pursuing pure mathematics to how learners respond to it both as individuals and as robust learning communities. After pursuing pure mathematics Blue went on to earn a masters in math education at Columbia and teach at a public high school in NYC. He went on to work in a variety of leadership roles in math education with a focus on creating better learning environments for underserved populations. This has included coaching math department chairs and teacher leaders in high schools all across NYC to build their department’s capacity to continuously improve their teaching craft, effective collaboration, and ability to discern and respond to the learning needs of their students. Blue has also coached and developed new and apprentice teachers around the city, created curriculum, and facilitated curriculum and instructional workshops. In his free time, Blue loves drawing, surfing, climbing, and spending time with his family and friends.

 

Slide33

Introduction of New Faculty and Staff

Department of Physics

Christian Draper

Assistant Professor

Christian Draper earned his Ph. D. in astronomy from Brigham Young University in 2019.  His dissertation project was to find dwarf galaxy within galaxy voids, regions of the universe where no galaxy has yet been found.  His wife would affectionately call it trying to find something in nothing.   For the past 10 years he has been teaching at Utah Valley University as a lecturer in physics and astronomy.  Looking for variety, he has transitioned to being an assistant professor of physics and astronomy at Utah Valley University.

Maureen Hintz

Lecturer

While being a full time mom of three for the last 21 years, Maureen also been teaching part time. For years she taught the one day a week night class. During those years along with her college physics friends who were also full time mothers, she took her children on summer field trips to everything from bird watching to sewer treatment plants. Once her youngest started full time school she moved to day time classes at UVU. Now with that youngest being a senior in high school and a spot opening up at UVU, she applied for full time. Maureen enjoys hiking once a week with those same moms, but now they go without their children and are much faster and go much farther. She also loves to read and if she is sitting anywhere, she is reading.

Reasons for revising SAC guidelines

More students/faculty research projects (35% increase of student awards between 18/19 and 19/20)

Completely depleted the 2019-2020 SAC budget on

Too much money spent on student travel to conferences.

One student’s out-of-state conference attendance could fund an entire research project for a group of students
