Harris Center teacher-naturalist John Benjamin leads a fungus lesson with a group of 8th grade students at Great Brook School in Antrim, NH in November. Great Brook Schooll science teachers work with a combination of in-person and remote students, so a laptop was brought outside to allow the students at home to participate in the lesson. The remote learners then conducted their own mushroom scavenger hunts at home, while John led the activity with the in-person learners in the woods behind their school. When you're teaching in a pandemic, flexibility and creativity are key!

Students used the engineering design process to create an object out of cardboard focusing on the principles of STEAM and our first quarter standards.
Many Winston-Salem State University (WSSU) graduates showed their creativity through their unique mortarboards and attire. But for some graduates, this was also a way to tell the stories of their journeys and where they are headed as they âDepart to Serve.â
As students marched into Bowman Gray Stadium during the Commencement Ceremony on Friday, May 19, they shared their messages of gratitude, accomplishment and encouragement.
Dealva Glaspie, a biotechnology graduate, had a decorated mortarboard with the message, âI turned my canâts into cans, and my dreams into plans.â Glaspie is the first in her family to earn a college degree. âI finally made it. I turned my dreams into plans,â Glaspie said.
Sherabiah Olglesby, a behavioral sciences and social work graduate, wore a stole with the imprint âblack grads matter,â to show her pride as a graduate of a historically Black college and university (HBCU).
âA lot of my friends went to predominately white institutions and believe that their degrees are better, but thatâs not true,â Olglesby said. âA lot of graduate schools want students from WSSU because they know that we have been properly prepared and are ready for the work force, and I think that is great.â
Olglesby plans to attend graduate school in the fall.
Taylor Gaulden, an interdisciplinary studies graduate, had a picture of her recently deceased grandmother on her mortarboard. âI promised my granny that I was going to do it, and I did.,â Gaulden said.
James Bullock, a sports management graduate and former member of the Rams football team, was at the front of the processional with a large crown atop graduation cap. About 25 family members from Cleveland were there to cheer him on.
Berenice Rodriguez, a nursing graduate whose parents migrated from Mexico, displayed the message, âLo Hicimos. Gracias mami y papi,â which means âWe did it. Thank you, mom and dad.â Rodriguez is the first in her family to graduate from college. âI did what Iâm doing for them.â
Class of 2017
WSSU recognized more than 1,200 graduates during the ceremony.
The ceremony honored WSSU students who earned their degrees in summer and fall 2016 and spring 2017. Many outstanding students were among the class of 2017. More than 1,100 undergraduates and 129 graduates received degrees.
Graduates included:
Sisters Eomba F. and Edith Pungu, immigrants from the Congo who are earning their masterâs in nursing degree to become family nurse practitioners. The sisters will cross the stage together for the second time as WSSU graduates.
Nursing Bridge to Ph.D. Scholars Nicole Calhoun, Morine Cebert and LaKita M.J. Knight, who will earn their masterâs degree and continue their education this fall as doctorate in nursing students at Duke University.
Taylor Evans, a third-generation educator who has several job offers in special education.
Victoria Segwick, a chemistry major who will attend the Medical Sciences Ph.D. Program at Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
Anthony Wells, a marketing major who plans to join AllianceBerstein as a private wealth consultant in New York City. While at WSSU, he studied abroad in Brazil and the Dominican Republic and studied at the Harvard University Business School.
Also at the ceremony:
Dr. Donna Gwyn Wiggins, associate professor of music, was awarded the 2017 Board of Governors Award for Excellence in Teaching.
Dr. Brenda Allen, provost and vice chancellor of academic affairs, received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters for her contributions during her eight-year tenure at WSSU. Allen was recently selected as the president of Lincoln University in Pennsylvania.
A bold past. A brilliant future.

Creativity + Conflict Resolution: A Leadership Development Workshop with Guila Clara Kessous. At the Boston University Castle. Thursday, April 28, 2016.
Every fall, I do a project with my Latin students where I have them create a page in a Bestiary in Latin. I do the project with them. One year it was Corvus, the Raven; another year it was Bos the Cow. They need one page for the bestiary project with a Latin text, a border, and an illustration. In the spring, the assignment is two pages on a Roman god or goddess (that has to talk about how the Romans worshipped the deity and why and when, and include a short ‘prayer’ to the god that proves they know how to construct an imperative verb). There also has to an illustration and a border. I run all of the pages through the photocopier at the end of the year, and hand out “book blocks” of about 40 leaves of paper (about 80 pages of text and illustration). The idea is to make a pair of medieval-looking pages that they then learn how to bind into a codex-bound book made of cardboard and construction paper — the materials are kinda flimsy, but the binding techniques are real. We then watch some videos on colored pencil techniques; I have a couple of “gold leaf” markers available, and we ‘illuminate’ them.
The left-hand page of this year’s isn’t done yet, but the right-hand page is more or less done. I forgot to leave room for the border, so I just did the border around the image of Apollo. His left shoulder is weird (odd that I made him corrie-fisted, but there you go — the god often appears in a form most pleasing to ourselves, right?).
After 9-ish years teaching the first half of middle school Latin (Ecce Romani IA) and nothing else, my Latin is pretty weird. It’s basically all declarative active present tense with some imperative and some questions, only 1st, 2nd and 3rd declension nouns (including some 4th and 5th declension nouns changed into 3rd so that my students can understand me, sorta), and some turns of phrase to make genuine classicists wince.
Translated, this page (allegedly) reads,
The Romans call Apollo by many names: When he tames horses, then they call Apollo Atepomarus, and Apollo Belenus. And they call Apollo the Manticus when they want to hear prophecies and omens. They call The Maker of Roads because Apollo knows how to make paths. Also children sing to Apollo Vindonnum because they want Apollo to help people be healthy. Near the Palatine Hill the Romans have a temple to Phoebus, in the middle of the city.
O Apollo, help me: Take care of me to be healthy in infirmity. Shine rays of light on my food because I want to eat good fruits and vegetables. Give me clear eyes to see choices, and help me make them! Remind me, Apollo, remind me, to live life with virtue and honesty, and to love the world.
It’s likely the project would be better if I were a better Latinist, or if my students were likely to spend the next three years working through Latin IB, IIA, and IIB (with some going on to Latin III). But as long as I keep teaching Latin IA, I imagine that my Latin will keep getting weirder and weirder, a little bubble of my own narrow understanding of a mostly-dead-ish language.
In his public lecture "Holding hands with the sun", Olafur Eliasson addressed the question of where an idea begins and the process of an idea becoming embodied in the world through a general introduction to his wide-ranging work. For Eliasson, art is a reality machine. Creativity is not located in the artist’s choice of an individual color; it has to do with the extent to which the artist succeeds in being in sync with the world in making this choice. Creativity is the passage by which the choice becomes ethical and political.
Eliasson’s collaboration with MIT focuses upon his art and social business enterprise Little Sun, a portable, solar powered lamp which he calls “a work of art that works in life.” He engaged with the MIT Energy Initiative (MITei), a multidisciplinary, Institute-wide research program working to find secure, economically viable and environmentally sustainable energy sources, the MIT DLab (Development through Dialogue, Design and Dissemination), the Sloan School of Management, the MIT Center for Civic Media and the MIT Museum, among others.

A collaborative, visual project which encourages you to sign out a Visual Library Book and ‘Leave Your Mark’.
A Visual Library Book is whatever you want it to be, a sketchbook, a journal, a diary, a notepad.
