- Jack Bernard, biology, presented a paper, "Seasonal Growth
Patterns in Wetland Plants Growing in Landfill Leachate," at an international
symposium held in Detroit last June. He also chaired one of the sessions
and was a member of the panel summarizing the symposium. During the summer,
Bernard was joined in his research by two Czech Republic scientists as
part of the Ithaca College-Czech Republic cooperative research grant. Sponsored
by the National Science Foundation, the research focused on wetland ecosystems
in the Ithaca area, the Bergen Swamp near Rochester, and a site in the
Adirondack mountains. The NSF grant, supplemented by Dana Foundation funds,
allowed Kalyan Pande '99 to spend 10 weeks in the Czech Republic, where
he studied mountain communities damaged by acid rain.
- Heinz Koch, chemistry, presented a paper and chaired a session
during the 6th European Symposium on Organic Reactivity held in Belgium
in July. Koch was in Berlin, Germany, this month for the international
discussion meeting on "Hydrogen Transfer: Experiment and Theory."
Koch presented a paper and chaired a session during those meetings.
- Bruce P. Smith, biology, participated this summer as an invited
lecturer in the 47th Annual Acarology Summer Program at Ohio State University.
The intensive two-week workshop on parasitengone mites was team-taught
by an international faculty including instructors from Germany, Australia,
Canada, and the United States. Smith taught the section on water mite life-history
strategies and larval ecology.
- "Expressionist Contours in Sherwood Anderson's Fiction,"
an article by Fred Madden, English, appeared this summer in the
Midwest Quarterly.
- The Ithaca College Counseling Center has been reaccredited by
the International Association of Counseling Services, Inc., and Alexandria,
Virginia-based organization of United States, Canadian, and Australian
counseling agencies. The counseling center was evaluated against high standards
of counseling practice and was found to offer competent and reliable professional
services to its clientele. Approval of IACS is also dependent upon evidence
of continuing professional development as well as demonstration of excellence
of counseling performance. The counseling center is directed by David B.
Spano, and offers individual and group counseling to Ithaca College students
as well as consultation to faculty, staff, administrators, and parents.
Founded in 1972, the counseling center is a component of the Hammond Health
Center.
