Upstate Scholarly Connections

Upstate Scholarly Connections. NEW! Friday, October 22, 12-1pm, Dining Hall Quiet Room (CLC), Lunch Provided. With the Metropolitan Mission of USC Upstate in mind, this new initiative is a first step in establishing a structured approach to helping USC Upstate faculty engage the community and region– in terms of scholarly partnerships with non-academic institutions. A panel will briefly discuss the relationships that they have developed and specifically how their scholarly efforts have benefitted. Attendees will have the option to provide the Director of Research a “scholarly profile” which will be used in the weeks and months after the event by the Director to locate and establish viable scholarly relationships for the faculty. The panel includes: Dr. Sebastian van Delden will describe his robotics related connections in the community which have lead to equipment donations and sponsored research support totaling over $150,000 during the last 3 years. Dr. Melissa Pilgrim will discuss synergistic outcomes (e.g., publications, grants and undergraduate research projects) associated with her positions as Visiting Scientist at the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory and Upstate Regional Coordinator for the North American Amphibian Monitoring Program. Dr. Jennifer Parker will discuss community partnerships and opportunities to combine service, teaching and scholarship. This has led to the creation of a new interdisciplinary minor, grant opportunities and scholarship. Dr. Steve Caldwell will discuss recognizing opportunities in the business community to engage organizations with academic competencies that both meet their needs and offer possibilities for scholarship. Dr. Lynette M. Gibson will discuss community-based participatory recruitment strategies that were used to engage African-American churches and community organizations to assist in recruiting participants for research on breast health. Susan Hodge, MA, MBA, Senior Director of Community Engagement, will give a brief overview of the Carnegie Foundation’s elective Community Engagement classification and provide some helpful links to information about structuring and assessing community partnerships.

Retired Staff Sergeant Eric Alva was the first American soldier injured in the Iraq War. Hailed as an American hero, Alva was decorated and visited by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, Vice President Dick Cheney, and President George W. Bush. However, he was only able to be true to himself after he left the military, and upon his retirement came out as a gay man. Today, Eric Alva is a gay rights activist and spokesperson for the Human Rights Campaign, where he speaks out against the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. Alva has teamed up with members of Congress to help put an end to this discriminatory practice. Not only is Eric Alva a truly heroic man, but through his powerful message of hope and confidence he is making the world a better place for all those who have felt the pains of discrimination and hate.
