Jonathan Borja, Music, presented "'Amatzinac' José Pablo Moncayo's Elusive Jewel" at the College Music Society National Conference on Oct. 7 in Rochester, New York.
Alyssa Doughty and Jennifer Taylor, both Recreation Management & Therapeutic Recreation, presented "Virtual Volunteering: Reimagining service-learning in long-term care settings" at the American Therapeutic Recreation Association conference on Oct. 1 online. Due to the pandemic, rapid changes were needed to continue service-learning projects for college students in long-term care settings. The session introduced Bingocize® and The UWL Happiness Project, two evidence-based programs that chose to pivot to virtual offerings during the pandemic. The presentation also highlighted how virtual volunteering can break down common geographic barriers in rural healthcare settings while benefiting both students and older adult residents.
Tony Docan-Morgan, Communication Studies, co-authored the article "Unpacking variation in lie prevalence: Prolific liars, bad lie days, or both?" in Communication Monographs published on Oct. 10 by Taylor & Francis (Routledge).
Karolyn Bald, International Education & Engagement, presented "Innovative New Program Models: Collaborative Virtual Communities in Education Abroad" at NAFSA All Region Summit on Wednesday, Oct. 13 online.
Scott Pfitzinger, Murphy Library, authored the article "The Effects of Relocating the Reference Desk on the Circulation Desk" in Journal of Access Services published on Sept. 27 by Taylor and Francis. The physical proximity of the Reference Desk and Circulation Desk can affect where library patrons go to get assistance and what kinds of questions they ask. Pfitzinger analyzed data collected at the Murphy Library Circulation Desk to determine how the nature and number of questions asked there has changed as the Reference Desk was located in three different places during the last six years. There are implications for other libraries that may be considering moving or removing their Reference Desk.

Retired baseball coach William “Bill” Terry died Oct. 8. Terry was born in Cresco, Iowa, but grew up in Lansing playing baseball and basketball at Lansing High School. After high school he enrolled at the University of Northern Iowa (UNI), but had to put his college career on hold in order to serve three and a half years in the United States Air Force. After finishing his tour of duty, he returned to UNI and earned his teaching degree.
Terry moved from teaching jobs in Maxwell, Iowa to Westby, Wisconsin, where he began his coaching career. It was at Westby High School where he first began coaching baseball, and eventually was named athletic director as well. In 1961 he moved from high school coaching to college coaching when he joined the football staff at UWL. He served as an assistant football coach from 1961-67.
He served as UWL's head baseball coach from 1969-79, finishing 199-144 (.580) in 11 seasons. Coach Terry ranks third in school history and 10th in Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC) history. UWL made six appearances in the NAIA playoffs, including advancing to the NAIA World Series in 1979 as the team placed fifth in the nation. Terry was inducted into the State Baseball Coaches Hall of Fame in 1986, and the UWL Wall of Fame in 1994. He was named the 2010 La Crosse Tribune Sportsperson of the Year and inducted into the La Crosse Area Baseball Hall of Fame In 2019. Along with coaching at UWL, Terry assisted the university's student teaching program from 1968-89.
UWL baseball coach Chris Schwarz kindly shared his thoughts. "Bill was a great mentor to me personally, and a great supporter of our UWL Baseball Program. He will be forever remembered." For more information see the obituary.
