IDEAL and Seminar of Interest

The CSI is holding its fall semester IDEAL Student Organization Fair on Wed Sept 13 and Thur Sept 14 (the Student Activities Center is now The Center for Student Involvement). I signed our organization up to participate in the event on Wednesday. The location is the Reitz Union Colonnade, and the hours are 9 AM - 3 PM. Our group will be able to attend to a table and present our information, and we will get a lot of attention and interest, I'm sure. Please help out by just showing up there to stand at the table and support our group, even if you can only be there for 30 minutes during that timeframe.

Remember that we have a meeting planned for Thu, Sept. 7th at 7 PM. Details shortly to follow.

Also, Asha B passed along a seminar of interest to our group:

The first departmental seminar of the fall semester will be next Tuesday, Sept 5, at 4:00 p.m. in Rm. 2316 Fifield Hall. The speaker will be Dr. Leslie S. Jones, Valdosta State University, and the title of her seminar is "Deciphering Creationist Resistance to Evolution: Clarifying the Nature of Science for the Public."

There will also be a reception with light refreshments and a chance to visit after the seminar.

Sandy Jones is an Assistant Professor of Biology at Valdosta State University, Valdosta, GA. She has an M.S. in Animal Sciences and subsequent research experience in animal reproductive physiology at The Ohio State University. She then obtained a M.A. and Ph.D. in Science Education from The Ohio State University, and served as a faculty member at the University of Northern Iowa, where she instructed several different biology and interdisciplinary science courses, as well as undergraduate and graduate education courses related to teaching science. She began her current position at Valdosta State University in 2004; more information and a list of publications is available from the following web page:
