A HISTORYOF SUCCESS

If you take Cal U courses on the history ofAmerican sport, social history or African-Americanhistory, you will get to know Dr. Kelton Edmonds.

Dr. Edmonds came to us in the fall of 2005 as theFrederick Douglass Institute Visiting Scholar and was hired as tenure-track faculty in the HistoryDepartment the following academic year.

An expert in African-American studies, he has re-established Black History Month as a majorcampus event and organizes the annual Hip-hopConference to examine the genre's effect onsociety, the arts and history.

Dr. Edmonds has a passion for his work as ahistorian and a Cal U professor.

“I enjoy knowing my students. It allows me to relate‘history’ to them personally, and creates a dialoguein which they know they are respected as a personand not just a student number.”

His favorite course to teach is African-AmericanHistory, in which he applies a student-centeredapproach, believing that students ultimately teach themselves by interacting with him and,more importantly, one another.

INQUIRING MINDS

Dr. Gregg Gould has always enjoyed inquiry andanalysis. He loves teaching, too. That made him aperfect choice to lead Cal U’s new Center forUndergraduate Research.

The center facilitates faculty-led researchexperiences for students in all majors, and itcelebrates the accomplishments of studentresearchers and their mentors.

Meaningful research builds on classroom learning.It boosts critical thinking skills, encouragesinnovation and helps college students prepare fora career.

“I am really excited to be able to focus myattention on promoting undergraduate researchand opening up a world of possibilities for ourstudents,” says Gould, a chemistry professor.

TEACHER IN THE WILDDr. Summer Arrigo-Nelson takes

her passion for teaching biologicaland environmental sciences from the classroom to the field.

“Cal U is a very dynamic place to work. My department has recently hired a number of new faculty members and offers a wide variety of courses,internships and field experiences forour students.”

Dr. Arrigo-Nelson’s recent fieldwork on primates gives her students an in-depth understanding of biology,evolution and conservation.

“I developed the Madagascar FieldSchool program so that Cal U studentscould have the opportunity to gain an international perspective. They spend a month living in the forest of Madagascar, where they learn how to monitor tropical biodiversity, explore Malagasy culture and examine the impact of invasivespecies within the rainforest.”

That’s why Cal U is the perfect choice for students who are determined to make the most of their college careers.
