Extractions: Vol. 19, No. 31 Through volunteerism, UD students are making a difference in the community in several different roles-such as mentors and tutors in local schools, participants in charitable walks, firefighters, collectors for food banks and helpers for those with disabilities, to name a few. Volunteer Awards The Volunteer Awards Ceremony included the presentation of the Nikki Woolf Volunteer Award to Cheri Mischler, CHEP 2000. The award honors the late Ms. Woolf, a UD student who died in a traffic accident in 1993. In presenting the award, Dennis Woolf spoke of his daughter's "love in trying to help people." He also dedicated the award, in part, to Zachary Holtzman, a family friend and UD freshman, who was killed in a train accident in 1999. Mischler has spent much of her time helping children with special needs. While student teaching and tutoring, she has asked to work with severely disabled children, and with the goal of teaching in special education. She has volunteered with the Delaware Special Olympics, coaching several sports and assisting with swimming. She has raised money for the organization for the past five years by jumping in the ocean in the Polar Bear Plunge.

Extractions: The University is a national leader in fostering undergraduate research. Each year, about 400 students - including freshmen - participate. The Undergraduate Research Program maintains a directory of some 600 faculty mentors, and helps individual students connect with specific professors and projects. Sometimes a student's research forms the basis for a senior thesis for an Honors Degree or a Degree with Distinction. A few recent thesis titles: "Willem deKooning's Women Series" (art history), "Time Estimation"(psychology), "White Dwarf Stars" (physics), and "Falling Sphere Viscometry of Viscoplastic Fluids" (chemical engineering). Selected student researchers present work at the Undergraduate Research Symposium held on campus each May, or at departmental or national research meetings. To learn more, visit Undergraduate Research Opportunities Dean's Scholars Dean's Scholars - highly motivated students who are freed of all college requirements so that they can build their entire program with faculty advisers - create original programs of study, including off-campus experiences and independent research. Recent examples: "Literature and Science," "French Psychoanalysis," and "Biochemistry, Medical Humanities, and Public Policy," among others. Winter Session Winter Session, a five-week term between spring and fall semesters, is a time for students to customize their academic program. Roughly half of all undergraduates attend Winter Session, earning up to seven credits as they accelerate progress toward a degree, focus on a single subject, or redistribute their fall and spring workload. Winter Session is also a good time to study abroad.

Click on Judicial Branch and then Indiana Court of Appeals. 2.) ******** OHIO REVAMPS STATE TESTS: ALIGNS WITH STANDARDS (Goal Three: Student Achievement and Citizenship) A new Ohio state law overhauls the state's proficiency tests by aligning them with academic standards (Rubin, EDUCATION DAILY, 6/15). The law also limits the tests' use in determining whether students will be promoted to the next grade or earn a high school diploma. The new law is based on recommendations developed by Governor Bob Taft's Commission for Student Success. Last year, the Commission reported that the Ohio tests were "rushed into place before the academic standards they were meant to measure had taken hold," reports the paper.
