Campus Connection - Aug. 31-Sept. 7, 2009

Campus and Eagle Connections now combined

Faculty, staff and students can now find weekly university information in one place — the Campus Connection.
In the past, University Communications, formerly University Relations, published Campus Connection, an online newsletter for UW-L faculty, staff and emeriti/retirees; and the Eagle Connection, an online newsletter for UW-L students. To streamline resources, the two newsletters are now combined into the Campus Connection. The Campus Connection is available online on Mondays at www.uwlax.edu/universityrelations/campusconnection/.

Faculty, staff and students will receive an e-mail by Monday mornings highlighting the week's newsletter. A Campus Connection calendar is also available. See the Campus Connection Calendar of Events at www.uwlax.edu/universityrelations/campusconnection/ or go directly to it at www.uwlax.edu/universityrelations/campusconnection/calendar.html.

To submit news and event information, e-mail details to connectx@uwlax.edu by no later than noon on Wednesdays preceding the next Monday's edition. For more information, contact Campus Connection Editor Sue Lee at 785.8497.

Be sure to contact the Racquet, the UW-L student run newsletter, as well, at racqueteditor@uwlax.edu. It is published during the academic year when classes are in session.

Faculty/staff: Remember to include disability syllabus and access statements in syllabus

Disability and access statement

“Any student with a documented disability (e.g., physical, learning, psychiatric, vision or hearing, etc.) who needs to arrange reasonable accommodations must contact the instructor and the Disability Resource Services Office (165 Murphy Library) at the beginning of the semester.”

Note: Students who are currently using Disability Resource Services will have a copy of a contract that verifies they are qualified students with disabilities who have documentation on file in the Disability Resource Services Office.

The Office of Affirmative Action and the Office of Disability Resource Services would like to remind, and strongly encourage, all faculty and instructional academic staff to place the statement at right in syllabi at the beginning of each semester; place it on the blackboard/bulletin board in the classrooms where you teach; and add it to any e-mails/Web-based course materials you use. The method(s) used should be based on the ability to provide this statement to all students in your classes.

By providing this statement, UW-L faculty and instructional academic staff will ensure disability disclosure and inform students of UW-L's desire to provide reasonable accommodations for students with a disability.

It is also important for all faculty and academic and classified staff to be aware of the following disability access information:

  • When planning conferences, events and activities, have someone in your office or department be responsible for handling requests for accommodations. Call Disability Resource Services at 785.6900 for assistance with arranging and implementing accommodations.
  • In registration brochures, invitations or fliers, use the following access statement: “To request disability accommodations, contact (name, department, address and phone number).”
  • Publications such as college bulletins, program brochures, class schedules, newsletters and instructional publications must be provided in alternative formats (Braille, large print, tape, electronic) upon request. In these publications use the following statement: “This publication/material is available in alternative formats upon request. Contact (name, department, address, and phone number).”

For more information, contact Carmen Wilson, special assistant to the Chancellor and Affirmative Action officer, at wilson.carm@uwlax.edu or 785.8043; or June Reinert, Disability Resource Services director, at reinert.june@uwlax.edu or 785.6900.

Becky Oakland
Rebecca Oakland

UW-L senior Rebecca Oakland, Spring Valley, Minn., received the Distinguished Chapter Officer Award, the highest honor Kappa Delta Pi (KDP) presents to its officers.

Oakland was nominated by chapter advisers and other members of the KDP Executive Council and will receive public recognition for her award at KDP’s Convocation 2009 in Orlando, Fla.  During 2008-09 Oakland was the 78th president of the Beta Tau Chapter of KDP at UW-L. Previously, she served the chapter as historian. She also served on consecutive executive councils. KDP is recognized worldwide as the international honor society in education. KDP members represent the top 15 percent of education majors at each host institution.

Under Oakland's leadership, KDP created its first electronic yearbook. She provided leadership for the chapter’s participation in multiple, significant service projects, including Literacy Alive, Rotary Lights, State Road Nature Trail Project and others. She led the chapter to maintain a high degree of involvement in professional development programs: featured teachers, international video conferencing with UW-L alumni teaching in other countries, education film fest, partnership with the Native American Student Association, professional networking and technological enhancements. She led the chapter in its efforts to honor active and retired educators in Wisconsin and Minnesota through the Honor an Educator program.

In April, Oakland received UW-L's College of Liberal Studies Senior Excellence Award and the Student Life Award for Outstanding Leadership. Oakland completed her professional program of studies at UW-L in elementary and early childhood education.

In our thoughts

Three weeks ago, UW-L Alumnus Dan De Matthew, '80, was riding his bicycle after work and was in a devastating accident. He is currently listed as a quadriplegic at Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee. His wife, Amy (Shannon), '80, and their two sons created a CaringBridge Web site to keep everyone apprised of De Matthew's condition. De Matthew has computer access so he can read well wishes and encouraging notes. To find out more and to contact him, visit www.caringbridge.org/visit/dematthew.

In the news

"So much in memory of Peter Talen," La Crosse Tribune, Aug. 21. Patty Talen said she'll never get over the loss of her son, Peter, but it is comforting to know good things have come from his tragic death in November 2007. In memory of Peter Talen, you'll find scholarships and smoke alarm ordinances, educational videos and fire prevention events. People who cared about Peter created them. (Talen, a UW-L student, died in a house fire near the UW-Madison campus in 2007.) Full story: www.lacrossetribune.com/news/local/article_994dbc1c-8dff-11de-a0ce-001cc4c03286.html
