Karen Dennis and UM’s Literary Council presents ‘Book Talk’ Program at State Conference

MOBILE, Ala. – Dr. Karen Dennis, associate professor of education, and the University of Mobile’s Literary Council presented the School of Education’s unique “Book Talk” program at the Alabama Literacy Association 53rd Annual Fall Conference.

The virtual presentation was filmed in George and Pat Dorsett Auditorium on the university campus on Nov. 5. The Alabama Literacy Association is an affiliate of the International Literacy Association with a mission to transform lives through literacy. The virtual presentation gave UM School of Education students an opportunity to make a professional presentation in their field at a state level.

The Book Talk program encourages children to read through an engaging presentation of university students, faculty and staff dressed as characters in children’s books.

“Book Talks began in the Methods of Teaching Reading course as an assignment of an example for alternatives to the traditional book report,” said Dennis. “It introduces a strategy that could be used to engage elementary school students in discovering the joy of reading.”

Each semester, faculty and student members of the Literary Council make their books “talk,” said Dennis. “When we become our favorite literary characters and ‘sell’ our story to an audience, we generate enthusiasm and eagerness to read a book talk book to discover the ending, which — by the way — a good book talk never reveals.”

“Book Talks are beneficial in schools, because it allows the characters to really come to life,” said Amber Blackmon, UM Literary Council president. “Visualizing what they read allows children to feel enveloped by a story and become a part of it.”

The Literary Council buys a few Book Talk books to give to schools when they perform live. This semester, the council gave the following books: After the Fall – How Humpty Dumpty Got Back Up Again, Snippets, Splatter and I’m Not Just a Scribble.

Literary Council officers include:

Amber Blackmon, president. Blackmon is an early childhood and elementary education major from Bay Minette, Alabama.

Maggie Diehl, vice-president. Diehl is an elementary education major from Fairhope, Alabama.

Mikaela Dees, secretary. Dees is an early childhood education major from Fruitdale, Alabama.

Breanna Englebert, treasurer. Englebert is an early childhood education major from Saraland, Alabama.

Q&A with UM Voice Professor Kat Hedlund

Everyone knows how to sing – we just have to learn how to get out of our own way and trust God’s design, says Dr. Kathryn Hedlund, associate professor of music and voice in the Alabama School of the Arts at the University of Mobile.

She is committed to getting to know all of her students, so she can know how specifically to encourage and teach each one.

“Teaching voice is so very specific,” said Hedlund. “Each person is different, and there is no one way to teach singing!”

We asked Hedlund about her love for teaching voice at the Christ-centered university.

Q: You have taught at UM for 9 years. What is your background?

A: I got my Bachelor of Music in Voice Performance from the University of Michigan, and both my Master of Music in Voice Performance and Doctor of Musical Arts in Voice Performance with a minor in Vocal Pedagogy at LSU.  My background is mostly classical/opera singing. Before working at UM, I was the associate director of a small opera company in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Q: Why should someone choose to study music?

A: We are a well-rounded, intently personal and Christ-centered music department, full of wonderful, diverse opportunities for you to explore and cultivate your gifts in a loving, supportive environment.

Q: What courses do you typically teach?

A: I teach several vocal pedagogy classes — both at the undergraduate and graduate level, applied voice, and several diction and song literature classes. I love all my classes, but I think my graduate vocal pedagogy classes are my current favorites. I often come out of class with just as many questions as answers, and that is when I know that it was a good class.

Q: You are passionate about using our bodies as God intended. Tell us about it.

A: On top of my singing studies and interests, I study the Alexander Technique, which I am working on getting certified to teach as well. AT offers a way to re-educate us on how our bodies work most efficiently by improving coordination, mind-body connection and realizing that we have a choice in our reactions to stimuli.  This is not only helpful in performance, but in everyday life and our relationships with God and others.

Q: What are some of your other interests?

A: I have run two half marathons in my lifetime. After having two kids, I haven’t invested the time in training for a third half marathon, but it’s on my list of “maybe sometime in my 40s . . .” So, I guess this says that I like challenges.  My husband ran the first half marathon with me, “retired,” and cheered me on with my son as I ran the second half marathon.

Why a Ram? The Story Behind UM’s Mascot

Why a Ram? Why not a different mascot?

When the University of Mobile — known as Mobile College at the time—first opened, it lacked a school mascot, color, annual, newspaper and traditions. It was up to the first freshman class to give the Christian university an identity.

Among other possibilities for a mascot — knights, pioneers, bucks, elephants and falcons — the Rams won the student vote. Students also chose maroon and white for school colors, named the yearbook the Rampage and the school newspaper the Jubilee. You may be thinking that the word “Jubilee” does not relate to a ram, but it does. The Hebrew origin of the word relates to the use of a ram’s horn as a trumpet to proclaim the jubilee year.

Simply choosing the mascot was not enough for these students. They wanted a live ram. From 1963 to the late 1970s, there were four rams that lived on campus: Ramses I, Ramses II, Ramses III and Ramses IV. According to Tom Holms, class of 1967 and current Board president of the ARC of Mobile, the name was a result of students searching for a name that included the word “ram” while taking a western civilization course that included the pharaohs of ancient Egypt.

In 1985 the university decided to have a student wear a mascot costume instead of using a live ram. The mascot was referred to as “MC Ram” (for Mobile College) and did not look the best. In the early 1990s, the university invested in a high-quality mascot costume. It is the one we know and love today. The mascot is now referred to as “Mac the Ram.” In 2005, Mac’s girlfriend “Molly” made her debut.

The class of 2008 presented the university with an aluminum statue of a ram. It is located at the triangle of land between Weaver Hall and the residential areas. It is a great spot for photos!

Now that you know why the University of Mobile chose the Rams, it is time to ask yourself the same question. Why a Ram? Why be a Ram? The answer is easy for me. I am a Ram, because I love this school. I love the beautiful campus, the friendly community, the relationships I have built and how professors and faculty care for the students.

Go Rams!

Teach Content, Teach People

“Before God calls us to do the big things, we may need to do the ordinary things in an extraordinary way,” said Mindy Agee, University of Mobile alumna.

Many people attend college to get an extraordinary job and change the world. However, there are many ordinary jobs that have potential to change everything. Teaching is a job that can change the lives of many. When done by dedicated teachers who want to inspire future minds, teaching can become one of the most extraordinary jobs.

The University of Mobile School of Education provides students with over two years of real-world field experience to ensure their success. Agee says UM prepared her for what life as a teacher would be like and what to expect when she first walked into a classroom.

She uses the knowledge she gained when attending the University of Mobile to teach students through literature how to become people who make a difference. She replicates many of the conversations and experiences she received from her professors to teach and show students that teachers do care about them.

“Your job may be about teaching content, but it is more about teaching people,” Agee said.

As a teacher, you do more than instill knowledge into young minds, she said. You teach them how to be extraordinary people. Teachers encourage, enlighten and inspire young minds to be the best versions of themselves. They have the power to make a difference in the world — even by inspiring just one student.

Agee has been a teacher for 14 years. She graduated from UM in 2008 as a secondary education major with a concentration in English. She currently teaches English and dual enrollment at Washington County High School in Chatom, Alabama. She also co-sponsors the WCHS student government and created the 30 Club, which recognizes students who score 30 or higher on one or more sections on the ACT.

Formerly known as Mobile College, the University of Mobile officially changed its name in 1993 and celebrates its 60th anniversary on Dec. 12, 1961. Alumni of both eras were invited to nominate their peers to be voted on for Alumni of the Decade. Nominations were reviewed by a committee from the UM Alumni Board, and recipients were chosen by a panel representing alumni, faculty and staff.

Recipients will be honored at a luncheon at the university on Nov. 19  and featured in the upcoming issue of the TorchLight alumni magazine.

Alumni of the Decade honorees are:

Tom Holmes, Class of 1967. Holmes retired as CEO/executive director of The Arc of Alabama.

Today, he serves as board president of The Arc of Mobile County.

Holmes earned a Bachelor of Arts in political science with a minor in history at Mobile College and was a member of the first graduating class in 1967. He said attending the university has given him many opportunities to develop and improve his writing, leadership and service skills.

At Mobile College, he was business manager of The Rampage yearbook, Chief Justice in the Student Court, and a charter member and president of the Phi Mu chapter of the Alpha Pi Omega National Service Fraternity. He also chaired a committee to organize and establish an alumni association.

In 1986, Holmes and his brothers funded the Bethune-Holmes Memorial Scholarship in honor of their parents, Annie Jo Bethune Holmes and Fred Boyles Holmes Sr. This scholarship benefits students from Baldwin and Conecuh counties.

Holmes is currently involved in Alpha Phi Omega National Fraternity, Arise Citizens Policy Project, Troop 3 Committee of the Boy Scouts of America, Cottage Hill Civitan Club, Mobile County Democratic Executive Committee, The Arc of Alabama Board of Directors and Public Policy Committee, The Arc of the United States Policy and Positions Committee, and Trinity Episcopal Church.

After teaching piano and music for many years, Cobb enrolled in the Associate Degree of Nursing program at Mobile College. She graduated with an associate’s degree in 1987 and a bachelor’s in organizational management in 1994. She says working full-time and raising four children while being enrolled in school was one of her greatest accomplishments

Cobb says she has always been proud of obtaining her degree from UM because of the recognized quality and high standards in the School of Nursing. She says instructors invested their time and knowledge to help her achieve her dream. In all her accomplishments, she gives God all the praise, honor, and glory because nothing she has done has been without Him, Cobb says.

 

Julie Clow, Class of 1995. Clow is head of Global People Development at Chanel and is based in London, England.

She attended UM on a Board of Trustees’ Academic Scholarship. She started her academic career as a music major, but later majored in psychology. The young mom finished her degree in half the normal time, earning the highest GPA in her class and the University of Mobile Alumni Award.

She says her experience at UM was grounding, but also empowering. She said UM professors inspired her to pursue her PhD in Psychology, which she did at Auburn University, where she found her true calling in organizational psychology.

He is family-oriented and says marrying his wife, Madyson Waters, is one of his biggest accomplishments. The pair have a little boy with another on the way.

Waters says going to UM was one of the best decisions he ever made. He played baseball for five years under Coach Mike Jacobs and Coach Jon Seymour. He says the two men made it a point to make sure each of the players were introduced to the gospel and helped prepare them to face life’s challenges.

He also had the opportunity to serve in Student Life. He says it showed him how much the faculty and staff care about students and providing a great college experience. He says watching others serve and joining Student Life taught him what it meant to be a servant.

Q&A with UM School of Education Professor Cynthia Erickson

“A teacher touches the lives of many,” says Dr. Cynthia Erickson, associate professor of education and special education specialist in the University of Mobile School of Education.

Why is she passionate about teaching future teachers at this Christ-centered university?

“Sharing my love of Christ and of learning and teaching enables me to provide a foundation for future teachers to go out into the world and demonstrate, by example, the love of Christ,” she says.

We spoke with Erickson about helping teachers from pre-K through college reach their full potential.

Q: What is your background?

A: I began my journey as a special education teacher in Mobile and Baldwin counties. I taught in the K-12 setting at Dunbar Middle and Spanish Fort Elementary; East Cobb Middle and Lawrenceville Elementary, both in Georgia; Robertsdale Elementary K-12 and ended my career in the public school K-12 setting at Robertsdale High School as the Gifted Education teacher. I am certified in emotional conflict, specific learning disabilities, and gifted education. I am the special education specialist for the UM School of Education and the edTPA Coordinator. I also am the co-director of the Center for Collaborative Teaching and Learning at the University of Mobile that provides professional development services for faculty.

Q: What was your dissertation topic?

A: My dissertation title is: Critical Multiculturalism and Preservice Teacher Education. The topic of my study was the need for preparing future teachers to teach in a more culturally responsive way. The changing demographics of our schools demand our future teachers be prepared to use a variety of engaging methods that reach ALL learning styles and cultures.

Q: Why should someone choose to study special education at UM?

A: Special Education is a burgeoning field. Every classroom will have students with special needs. The skills and strategies taught in our Bachelor of Science in Collaborative Special Education (K-6) program will prepare future teachers to meet the needs of not only special education students but those in general education as well.

Q: What is your favorite class to teach?

A: I teach all special education classes, from ethics and the laws governing special education to classroom management in the special education classroom. Additionally, I teach Educational Psychology and a Professional Development Seminar. The Professional Development Seminar prepares our students in the development of their edTPA Portfolio which is a high-stakes teacher assessment portfolio. I think my favorite class is the Professional Development Seminar because I can see how our students have grown in their teaching craft.

Q: You are passionate about Universal Design for Learning. Tell us about it.

A: This method of teaching and designing a classroom and its curriculum is a must for the 21st-century classroom at all levels. I want all students regardless of ability or background to develop a love for learning. In order for a love of learning to develop, students need a teacher/mentor to guide and support them and meet them where they are on the learning continuum. In other words, not all students learn at the same rate or in the same way. A good teacher will meet them where they are and help them reach their full potential. The development of the Center for Collaborative Teaching and Learning is rooted in this passion.

Q: What do you like most about UM?

A: My favorite thing about UM is the people. I have worked in many places and have enjoyed and known many people, but the administration, faculty, staff and students here at the University of Mobile are the most loving and supportive people with whom I have ever worked. There is a feeling of peace and grace I’ve never seen anywhere else.

It’s Okay to be Undecided

Choosing a major can be one of the most difficult decisions you will have to make as a student. Some people know what they want to do when they arrive. Others need extra time to find their passion. If you are like me, you may feel pressured and rushed to pick a major before you attend your first day of classes. However, what people do not tell you is that it is okay to be undecided.

Growing up in a small town, I never knew there were so many careers to pick from. I only knew about the stereotypical jobs they teach you about when you are young. I rushed to pick a major and did not like my choice as much as I thought I would. I was able to find my passion with the help of friendly people and resources at the University of Mobile.

Here are a few ways to start your exploration of a potential major and career:

  1. Talk to your advisor. Your University of Mobile advisor is here to help you succeed. Ask questions. He or she is there to point you in the right direction and offer suggestions.
  2. Talk to your friends. Ask them questions about their majors. You may learn something that will pique your interest.
  3. Visit the Student Success Center. The most valuable service to undecided students is the Student Success Center at the University of Mobile. They offer one-on-one counseling about career goals and assist students in finding job shadowing opportunities to explore potential career fields.

The Student Success Center also uses the Freshman Seminar course to allow first-year students the opportunity to better understand themselves and potential career choices. Those who have chosen a major can receive confirmation or an opportunity to reevaluate their choice.

Students can take advantage of the CliftonStrengths assessments and the Calling and Career module to identify potential career options. The Student Success Center also encourages undecided students to take Focus 2, an in-depth assessment designed to connect students with potential careers that complement their talents, interests and values.

The staff, faculty, and students at the University of Mobile are more than happy to help you in your search for your passion. I would encourage future and current undecided students to explore their options before rushing to deciding. Take your time.  It could save you time, money, and stress in the long run.

University of Mobile Presents ‘The Unseen Voice’ Felt Art Exhibit and Artist Talk

MOBILE, Ala. – University of Mobile ballet instructor and award-winning artist Barbara Haines presents “The Unseen Voice” felt art exhibit beginning Oct. 15. The exhibit showcases an interpretation of Vaslav Nijinsky’s “Le Sacre du Printemps” through the art of felt.

An artist talk will be held Oct. 28 at 11 a.m. in the Marilyn Foley Art Gallery in Ben May Hall on the University of Mobile campus. The exhibit will be displayed Mondays through Thursdays from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. starting Oct. 15. Admission is free.

The artist talk will pair the exhibit with a piano performance by UM professor and Steinway Artist Dr. Kadisha Onalbayeva. In a unique collaboration with Haines’s exhibit of felted pieces, Onalbayeva will showcase Nijinsky’s choreography as it forms a seamless synergy from reality to an amplified trance state of mind.

Haines’s obsession with felt surfaced when she realized the uncommon aspect of having costumes presented from a different material.

Her journey with felt allowed her to feel the rhythm of tangling wool that undulates a physic state and brings the essence of textile and dance alive.

She has dedicated 15 years as a professional ballerina. She has performed as a principal dancer for productions in The National Opera House of Hungary, the Hungarian Festival Ballet, Richard-Wagner Festspielhaus, Germany, and in the Andrew Lloyd Webber production of Phantom of the Opera in Denmark, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Austria, and Switzerland.

Haines has a Bachelor of Arts in psychology and pedagogy from Eotvos Lorand Academy of Science in Budapest, Hungary, and Master of Arts in classical ballet pedagogy and cultural arts from the Hungarian Dance Conservatory in Budapest. She is currently pursuing a diploma in movement linguistics at the Royal Academy of Dance in London, England.

For more information about “The Unseen Voice” and other exhibits in the Marilyn Foley Art Gallery, contact Phillip Counselman, associate professor of art at the University of Mobile, at 251.442.2283 or pcounselman@umobile.edu.
