Timmy Foundation Spring Call-Out Meeting
You are invited to the Timmy Foundation Spring Call-Out Meeting.
Monday, March 1
8:00 p.m.
WH 005
The Timmy Foundation is a national organization with several collegiate chapters focused on eliminating the healthcare disparities in the developing world. The IU chapter was the first collegiate arm of the foundation and has supported programs in Honduras, Jamaica, The Dominican Republic, Ecuador, and currently Guatemala. Each year, our chapter prepares a medical brigade during spring break where students work alongside medical professionals and our international partners in delivering primary and preventative medical care to patients who do not normally have access to such services.
Aside from the brigades, IU Timmy is constantly active throughout the year with a variety of fundraisers for our international partners, medical supply drives, and domestic initiatives focused on improving health education in the community.
If you are interested in hearing more about our organization, helping out, or gaining a great leadership experience, we will be discussing applications for the 2010-2011 Timmy Exec Board at this meeting, along with other opportunities for involvement. While prior involvement in the group is a factor in choosing new leaders, it is not a requirement for all of the positions, so please come and check it out.
After we discuss leadership positions, we will be having a mock medical brigade to mimic the various stations of a typical brigade-day during spring break. Feel free to contact us at the following email address with any questions! We hope to see you at the meeting.

New Second Eight Weeks Course - Shaping Futures
Announcing a new Second Eight Weeks course this Spring 2010 semester. It has been opened up to sophomores in the College (as well as juniors and seniors) since more and more sophomores already have or will soon have summer internships.
The speakers for the course represent a broad assortment of employment possibilities; besides the ‘usual’ doctor and lawyer professions, we also have successful alumni speaking who are engaged in equity research, higher education administration, public relations, entrepreneurial ventures, pharmaceutical industry, biomedical research, etc.
COLL-X 311 30515 Experimental Topics (1 CR)
Title: Shaping Futures
Instructor: Tom Recker, Assistant Dean for Advancement, College of Arts and Sciences Friday, 10:10 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
BH
SECOND 8-WEEKS SPRING 2010
Permission Required
Restricted: Undergraduate juniors and seniors in the College of Arts & Sciences
Preferred: Experience in one or more campus student organizations – particularly at the leadership level
Format: Lecture/discussion with one session outside class required (lunch with a guest speaker)
Course Description:
A new and innovative class for select College of Arts and Sciences juniors and seniors which features College of Arts and Sciences’ alumni as guest speakers from careers in the arts, social and historical studies, natural and mathematical sciences, entertainment field, business, industry, politics, and more. The course will highlight the broad career opportunities available to the College’s graduates, as well as discuss leadership and management skills developed and utilized in the work environment. The course is designed to bridge theoretical concepts with real-world experience in the workplace. The course will allow students to build connections with accomplished alumni, expand their network with working professionals, and better understand the ways in which their liberal education – both in and beyond the classroom - prepares them for long-term success. Upon completion of this course, students will be better prepared to identify how different academic disciplines prepare them for interesting and satisfying careers. Students will develop a better understanding of how these influences and contributions can be applied to their professional and personal development.
If you are interested, please email trecker@indiana.edu, providing your name, ID number, what year (junior/senior) you are, and a brief listing of any campus student organizations in which you have been involved and held leadership positions.

RA Job Opportunity at Univ of Illinois at Chicago
The Center for Cognitive Medicine at the University of Illinois at Chicago is seeking full-time Research Assistants in Clinical Psychology Research.
We anticipate that five (5) full-time paid Research Assistant Positions will open between March and June of 2010 in the Center for Cognitive Medicine at the University of Illinois at Chicago. The Center is a large interdisciplinary program with investigators working in the areas of autism, schizophrenia, women’s health, HIV, ADHD and pediatric bipolar disorder. All of the projects involve work with clinical populations, including project coordination and neuropsychological evaluations. Many investigators use fMRI to study causes of cognitive deficits, and most conduct treatment protocols. Some studies involve family genetic and pharmacogenetic research. These positions provide an ideal way to gain experience in clinical psychology research with patients in a hospital setting for those interested in pursuing a graduate degree in psychology or medicine.
Applicants should have a BA or BS, preferably in Psychology or Cognitive Science. We ask that interested participants make at least a two year commitment because of the level of training involved.

IU Athletic Marketing Internship
Basic Information and Requirements
Area: Sport Marketing
Supervisor: Ashleigh Bachert
Paid/Unpaid : Unpaid
Does the worker earn credit: Yes – check with your academic advisor to see how many credits you are able to earn
Graduate/Undergraduate student: Either
Length of Time/Dates Occupied: Late August-May and May-August (summer internship)
You must have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, be able to manage multiple tasks and a schedule that includes long hours/weekends, and be willing to commit to the position for the entire academic year or summer. It is preferred that you are currently enrolled at Indiana University Bloomington and that you have some sort of experience working with or volunteering at athletic events.
You will have many duties and responsibilities as an intern at the Indiana University Athletic Department. Interns must be available to staff sporting events including all home football games and many men’s and women’s basketball games. Each intern will be assigned to a specific sport and will be required to work on marketing and promotion plans, as well as work at the events. In addition, interns will assist with ticket sales campaigns geared towards increasing attendance and ticket revenue on campus and throughout the community. If you are planning to do a summer internship with IU Athletics, you will be a part of the planning of our fall sports, selling of football and combination football and men’s basketball season tickets to students during orientation, getting information out about our teams during summer festivals and events and distributing information about our teams around the community.
While you will be assigned different projects to work on in the office based on your specific designated sport, you may also be asked to deliver sports posters and schedule cards to local stores, restaurants, and other locations throughout the community, as well as assist with local events in Bloomington.
When you first interview with us, you will give us a schedule of times you can work either in the office or game days. This will help us work out when everyone is in the office and not overbook our resources. When you schedule your office hours, understand that the more you are in the office the more responsibility you are given. With this in mind, however, do not over extend yourself. Each week, you are required to have a minimum of 8 hours in the office. Office hours begin at 9:30 AM and end at 5 PM, Monday through Friday. Lunch time is normally from noon to 1 PM.
Attendance at meetings is required unless you give 2 days notice. We typically try and schedule staff meetings at 7 AM once a month, so everyone can attend the meeting even if they have class at 8 AM.
Game days are a great way to understand and see how we run an event. Typical game days will start an hour to 2 hours prior to the opening of the gates at the game. They will last between a half hour to an hour after the conclusion of the game depending on what we have going on at each event. You will be asked to stay for the whole event unless you have already worked something out with the corresponding marketing representative.
Sports
We promote all 24 of our varsity sports. This means that we work to get the word out about all of the home contests and some away contests. We also run the game day atmosphere of all of their events. Some events will not need a full marketing set up, i.e. men’s golf won’t have music and promotions, but we will set up a marketing table and make sure we have posters, schedule cards, etc. at the event. We also promote any BIG TEN and NCAA championships that we may host throughout the year.
If you are interested in applying for the IU Athletic Marketing Internship, please pick up an application in the Psychology Undergraduate Advising Office, PSY 229. You can mail your application to Ashleigh Bachert. The contact information is located at the bottom of the application. The deadline to apply for the summer internship is March 12th by 5 PM. We will be holding interviews March 22 – 26. The deadline to apply for the 2010-11 Academic Year is April 12th by 5 PM. Interviews will be held May 3-5.

New 2nd 8 Weeks Course
The Central Eurasian Studies Department has just added a new Second 8 Weeks course.
CEUS-R 369
Topic in Mongolian Studies VT: Introduction to Mongolia and the Mongols Class Number 34377
Lecturer: Tserenchunt Legden
11:15 a.m. - 1:45 p.m.; TR; SY100
This course will introduce Mongolia and Mongolic people (including Inner Mongolia and Buriat and other Mongolic people) to undergraduate students. Mongolia is a vast land of wild nature, hospitable nomads, and unique culture located in the heart of Asia. Bordering on Russia in the north and China in the south, Mongolia is the homeland of the legendary Genghis Khan (Chinggis Khan in Mongolian) who established the biggest land empire in human history. it is one of the last countries of nomads on earth. This course is a gateway for discovering this mystifying land, its people, its unique nomadic culture and the unparalleled history of Genghis Khan and his descendants.
Through readings, meetings with scholars of Mongolian studies and representatives from Mongolia, along with visual materials, artifacts, and artistic pieces, students will find answers to the following questions: Who was Genghis Khan and how do modern Mongols perceive him, who are the Mongols and where do they live, who are Mongolian nomads, how do they live, and what traditions and customs do they have, why has Mongolia become a fascinating destination for tourists and a competitive location for world mining industries. During this course students will watch several selected excerpts from Mongolian films and other media sources and will be exposed to the genuine culture and traditions of Mongolia and Mongolic people.

Neuroscience Colloquium
You are cordially invited to the following Neuroscience Colloquium.
Frances A. Champagne, Ph.D., Psychology Department, Columbia University, New York, will present, “Transgenerational Impact of the Social Environment.”
Wednesday, March 10, 2010
4:00 p.m.
Psychology Building, Room 101
Abstract: Development occurs within a social context. The critical role of social interactions in driving phenotypic variation has long been inferred from the association between early social deprivation and adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes. Recent evidence has implicated molecular pathways involved in the regulation of gene expression as one possible route through which these long-term outcomes are achieved. These epigenetic effects, though not exclusive to social experiences, may be a mechanism through which the quality of the social environment becomes embedded at a biological level. Moreover, there is increasing evidence for the transgenerational impact of these early experiences mediated through changes in social and reproductive behavior exhibited in adulthood. The role of epigenetics in mediating developmental plasticity both within and across generations provides a novel framework for understanding the inheritance of individual variations in phenotype and the role of the environment in inducing heritable modifications.

Volunteer and/or Service Learning Course
You are invited to consider some Volunteer and Service Learning Course opportunities at Middle Way House The Rise. Middle Way House The Rise serves children between the ages of 3-19 years old who have come from domestic violence, homeless, and poverty situations. We have several volunteer options and a service learning course for which we need more volunteers. Each of them are described below.
CLLC-L 100, Class Number 11084, Spring Break for Kids **Five seats available**
Every year we collaborate with a service learning course (CLLC-L 100, Class Number 11084, Spring Break for Kids) to provide the children with a Spring Break Camp. The class is an alternative to spring break and meets March 3, March 10, and March 24 from 6:00 - 8:30 p.m. and includes meeting the week of Spring Break from 8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. The first two classes the students will get a foundation on the effects of domestic violence on children. They will learn about Middle Way House and about what we will doing with the children over spring break. During spring break we will spend Mon-Fri 9-5 with between 45-60 children all from domestic violence, homeless, and poverty situations. We will go to the Children’s Museum in Indianapolis, the Exotic Feline Rescue Center, The Indianapolis Zoo, and Wonder Lab. We will go to a Chemistry Magic show, go swimming, and have live animals brought in by the Humane Society for some educational programs and two animal rescue programs. It is a really fun week that allows students to make a difference in a child’s life over Spring Break. **** We still need to raise another $1000 to do all of the weeks activities. If you or a student group would like to help raise it please let me know.****
Mentoring
We currently need 25 men to be mentors to the children in our program. We currently have a wait-list of women waiting to be paired with girls, but will probably need more female mentors starting in April. We pair IU students with a child of the same gender for a year commitment as a mentor. The mentor must spend an average of 3 hours a week with the child, not counting winter, summer, or spring breaks. Some of our boys have been waiting close to a year to get mentors, because we have not had that many male applicants. We have a large number of female children who have recently moved and also need mentors. Mentoring is one of the easiest ways to make a difference in a child’s life. Just by hanging around them and incorporating them into your life, you can make a major difference in their lives. Please contact Monte Simonton at msimonto@hotmail.com for more information.
Tutoring
We tutor children between the ages of 4-18 with their homework. We do tutoring Mon-Thurs from 5:30-7:00 p.m. and Friday from 4:20-5:30 p.m. We need help with tutoring children in all grades. We could also use help in developing assignments for children to do when they do not have homework that would increase their literacy and math levels. We are tutoring about 30 children a day and need more volunteers. Please contact Monte Simonton at msimonto@hotmail.com for more information.

ARC 2010 - Attention, Reflection, Connection
You are cordially invited to a historical, inaugural campus-wide series engaging faculty, students, staff, administrators, and alumni in dialogue towards building a culturally diverse and culturally literate campus at IU Bloomington.
ARC 2010! Attention, Reflection, Connection Steps Toward an Inclusive Campus
To learn more, or be a partner, check us out at http://www.indiana.edu/~arc2010/
This three-part series consists of panels, workshops, lectures, and an ongoing discussion to be conducted across venues from classrooms to the Internet.” Students, faculty, staff, alumni and members of the Bloomington community are invited to take part. It will unfold in three parts:
Part I: Attention: working together to address challenges With projected demographic changes, current budget cuts, and new federal guidelines for educational reporting, how do we build a culturally literate and diverse community on campus, one that embraces the full range of our multicultural richness--while collectively addressing these challenges?
Thursday, February 18, 12:30 p.m., Georgian Room, Indiana Memorial Union Featured Panel: Kevin Brown, (Law), Pamela Freeman (Associate Dean of Students and Director of the Office of Student Ethics and Anti Harassment Programs) and Elinor Ostrom (Professor and 2009 Nobel Laureate in Economic Sciences)
Thursday, February 18, 3:00 p.m., Georgian Room, Indiana Memorial Union Featured Speaker: "U.S. Demographic Trends, Population Projections, and Implications for IU and other Universities" Eileen DÃaz McConnell (Arizona State University)

Campus-wide Conversation on Diversity
The Office of the Provost and the Indiana University Bloomington Diversity Committee Invite you to the Second Annual Campus-wide Conversation on Diversity.
An INTERACTIVE Forum: “Toward Civil Conversation”
Wednesday, March 10, 2010
7:00 - 9:00 p.m.
Alumni Hall, Indiana University
Bloomington, Indiana
On September 9, 2009, during a joint session of Congress, while President Obama was delivering a speech on health care, Representative Joe Wilson of South Carolina shouted to the President, “you lie!” Four days later, on September 13, rapper Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the MTV Awards in Radio City Music Hall. And Congressmen and women at town hall meetings have been shouted down. Are such acts aberrations? Are they emblematic of a new cultural civility? To what extent are topics such as education, identity and belonging, immigration, economics, fear over who owns America, who may speak on behalf of the country, and power and race, involved? To what extent is IUB implicated? Panelists and audience members will grapple with what recent issues and events tell us about the practice of reasonable and worthwhile public discourse and behavior in civic culture.
Panel Members
• Gerardo Gonzalez, Dean, School of Education • Michael Grossberg, Sally M. Reahard Professor of History & Professor of Law\Director, Political & Civic Engagement Program (PACE) • Arlene Diaz, Associate Professor of History • Valerie Grim, Associate Professor and Chair, Department of African American and African Diaspora Studies • Joan Linton, Associate Professor of English • Eric Love, Director, Office of Diversity Education • Brandon Johnson (student), Exercise Science • Rachel Kubacki (student), Communication and Culture • Moderator/commentator: Carolyn Calloway-Thomas, Associate Professor of Communication and Culture

SPHS Colloquium - Laura Murray
You are cordially invited to attend a Colloquium presented by the SPHS Department and the SPHS PhD Organization.

“To be or not to be syntactically complex? Issues and data pertaining to that aphasia treatment question”
Abstract:
Animal research suggests that greater functional outcomes and positive neuroplastic changes can be achieved if training targets complex/skilled behaviors or exploits complex/enriched environments. Accordingly, aphasiologists have begun exploring whether manipulating such training principles influences outcomes following treatment for impaired syntactic processing. The purpose of this presentation is to review critically the relevant aphasia treatment research in terms of (a) generalization effects associated with training complex syntactic structures within complex contexts and (b) how patient characteristics may moderate complexity manipulation effects.
Previous aphasia treatment studies that targeted syntactic impairments and manipulated the complexity of treatment stimuli or contexts will be reviewed. A set of single-subject treatment studies completed via collaboration of my lab and the IU Speech Clinic (Murray, Ballard, & Karcher, 2004; Murray, Timberlake, & Eberle, 2007; Murray & Karcher, 2008) will be examined in greater detail to exemplify theoretical and methodological issues associated with this line of aphasia research. Collectively these findings underscore complexity as a potent training variable that can be manipulated to enhance generalization. Future aphasia research, however, must delineate how complexity interacts with other neuroscience principles (e.g., is complexity more germane in acute vs. chronic treatments?) and identify further patient characteristics that might mediate the effects of these influential principles.

2010 Spring IU Animal Behavior Colloquia
You are cordially invited to attend the 2010 Spring IU Animal Behavior Colloquia.
Rebecca Fuller, Department of Animal Biology, University of Illinois, will present:
Teasing Apart the Many Effects of Lighting Environment on Color Pattern and Preference in the Bluefin Killifish
Friday, February 12, 2010
4:00 p.m.
Myers Hall, Rm. 130
Co-sponsored with the Evolution, Ecology & Behavior Program
ABSTRACT:
Sensory drive proposes that lighting conditions have large effects on female mating preferences and male color patterns. Delineating the effects of lighting conditions is difficult because they can influence female mating preferences via three mechanisms. Genetic differentiation can emerge due to selection under different lighting conditions. Development in different lighting conditions can induce plasticity of the visual system. Lighting conditions can immediately alter color perception by filtering wavelengths and altering visual backgrounds.
In this talk, I will present data on a large study examining the various effects of lighting environment on male coloration, physiology of the visual system, and female mating preferences in the bluefin killifish, Lucania goodei. Bluefin killifish are intriguing for studies of sensory drive because they occur under a wide variety of lighting habitats ranging from crystal clear springs to tannin-stained swamps, and previous work has demonstrated that populations differ in various aspects of male color pattern as well as vision physiology.
Our underlying motivation is to determine the extent to which “sensory bias” can account for the evolution of female mating preferences. Sensory bias states that female mating preferences evolve as a correlated response to natural selection on non-mating behaviors that share a common sensory system with mating preferences. The underlying assumption is that there are strong correlations (due to pleiotropy) between mating preferences and non-mating behaviors such as foraging. We test this assumption by measuring correlations between foraging preferences and mating preferences both experimentally and using simulated neural networks.

Strong multi-tasking, leadership, and organizational skills are necessary. A minimum 1 year commitment is necessary, though 2 years is more desirable.
For more information about the lab see our website: http://pantheon.yale.edu/~kro3. To apply please send your resume (with references) and a cover letter to nina.slywotzky@yale.edu . Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, though we expect to fill the position by the end of March. The start date is flexible, though likely in May or June.

SPHS Colloquium
You are cordially invited to attend the following Colloquium presented by the SPHS Department and the SPHS PhD Organization.
Erna Alant, Otting Endowed Chair in Special Education, Indiana University, will present, "The Use of Graphic Symbols in AAC: What do we know?"
Monday, February 15, 2010
4:00-5:00 p.m.
Speech and Hearing Building, Room C141
Brief reception to follow
Abstract:
As augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) intervention becomes of age, it is important to investigate strategies that can enhance the access of children to messages in the most effective and economic way. Basic to the issue of providing access to pictographic symbols is the way in which children relate to the symbols. The first exposure to symbols as well as the time invested in learning a symbol set or system can significantly influence the sustainability of the AAC intervention process. Not only do these issues impact the attitude of people toward the use of AAC, they also impose a cognitive load on the potential AAC user that can affect outcomes.
This presentation will review basic information on graphic symbols and then present four recently completed studies (Basson & Alant, 2005; Bornman, Alant & Du Preez, (submitted); Haupt & Alant, 2002; Visser, Alant & Harty, 2008) which explore specific issues in symbol learning and use. Study designs typically are descriptive and comparative in nature to highlight similarities and differences in participants’ performances. Finally, I will briefly comment on the ongoing studies in these areas and address the implications of the findings for future research. Directions for further study will focus on 1) the application of findings to different disability population groups, for example, intellectual disabilities and autism and 2) research questions which need further exploration with typically developing children.

Indiana Law-Minority Law Day
As part of the Law School Admission Council initiative, Discover Law, the Indiana University Maurer School of Law is sponsoring a program geared to high school students and freshmen and sophomores in college on Saturday, February 13, 2010. The purpose of this program is to provide information to minority students who are interested in studying law. This is part of the law school's continuing effort to increase the representation of minorities in the legal profession.
The program will provide workshops and an opportunity for students to ask questions of law professors, admissions officers and current law students. In past years we have had approximately 10-15 different law schools send representatives to this event to talk with prospective students.
The program is free and open to the public. For our own planning purposes, however, we ask students to preregister on our web site at www.law.indiana.edu/minoritylawday.
