Promotion
Lynne Munger has been promoted to the
position of assistant to President Schallenkamp and will assume this
role upon the retirement of Ardean Wessel.
She currently serves as secretary to
Kathy Johnson, vice president for finance and administration, and
Donna Kloppel, comptroller. Munger’s previous experience includes a
tour of duty in the United States Army in Hanau, Germany, as
secretary to the division commander; administrative assistant to the
president at Clark College in Topeka, Kansas; administrative
assistant to the vice president of academic affairs at North Central
University in Minneapolis, Minn.; and career services specialist in
the Career Services Center in the Carlson School of Management at
the University of Minnesota. Prior to coming to BHSU, she was the
administrative assistant to the president of Valley Forge Christian
College in Phoenixville, Penn.
Retirement
Kathy Schneider, director of the Retired and Seniors Volunteer
Program (RSVP) will retire after 20 years of service at the end of the
month. There will be an open house Oct.30 from 2 to 4 p.m. at the
Spearfish Senior Citizen Center. The BHSU faculty, staff, and students
as well as the public is invited to attend.
RSVP has been in operation in Spearfish since 1973. It joined with
the Sturgis RSVP office in 2002 to become the Northern Black Hills RSVP
and has been sponsored by Black Hills State University since that time.
RSVP has a dual purpose of providing a quality volunteer experience as
well as fulfilling needs for non-profit agencies and the frail elderly
in our communities. There are over 500 volunteers in four counties who
contributed just under 100,000 hours last year. Volunteers serve Meals
on Wheels, work with children in the schools, help with mailings and
administrative tasks for the cities and chamber offices, provide
transportation to the elderly for grocery shopping or doctor's
appointments, as well as "fun projects" like visiting with tourists
while serving at one of the museums in town or rocking babies at the
BHSU daycare.
Schneider started as the RSVP secretary in 1986 and has served as
director since 2001. In her 20 years, she's managed 38 senior tours
covering every state in the U.S. except for Delaware and Alaska.
With those 38 tours, she made over $277,000 for the program. She'll do
one last senior tour this month, prior to her retirement. With all the
changes that have taken place over the years, she managed to increase
the number of volunteers, the number of volunteer hours, while
overseeing the
expansion of the program into Faith, Lemmon and Bison, and all with a
smile on her face, according to co-workers.
Co-workers added that Schneider will be greatly missed but her time and talents will be
greatly appreciated as the program continues to be successful with great
hopes to continue the trends she began.

Academic freedom forum will be held on
campus
A
forum discussing academic freedom will be held Wednesday. Oct. 25 from
3-5 p.m. in Jonas 305.
This fall, there has been significant discussion of academic
freedom on our campus in response to this new Board of Regents policy
and the national debate. Please join Dr. Sam Gingerich, system vice
president for Academic Affairs, for a public forum on the recently
implemented ‘Freedom in Learning’ policy. At this forum,
Gingerich invites students, faculty, and administrations to share their
questions and concerns about this policy and its implementation in the
classroom.
Although academic freedom has long been a topic of public
discussion, the debate has become more heated and more immediate in
several states with the introduction of bills regarding bias of faculty
viewpoints and implementation of academic freedom policies (much of this
movement has been stimulated by the
Academic Bill of Rights
which has
been widely promoted by conservative activist David Horowitz). Several
national organizations have posted statements on or analyses of the
issues (for example see
Academic Freedom and Educational
Responsibility or
Academic Freedom and the ‘Intifada Curriculum’).
Recently, the state of South Dakota implemented
SD BOR Policy 1:11 (2) which
applies to all university courses: “Freedom in learning. Students
are responsible for learning the content of any course of study in which
they are enrolled. Under Board of Regents and University policy, student
academic performance shall be evaluated solely on an academic basis and
students should be free to take reasoned exception to the data or views
offered in any course of study. Students who believe that an academic
evaluation is unrelated to academic standards but is related instead to
judgment of their personal opinion or conduct should contact the dean of
the college which offers the class to initiate a review of the
evaluation.”

Outdoor education students sponsor rock
climbing wall
 |
Jessica Alsaker, a recent outdoor education graduate, makes a move
on the rock climbing wall at the Donald E. Young Sports and Fitness
Center on the campus of Black Hills State University. Outdoor
education students in the Collegiate Outdoor Leadership Program
sponsor open wall climbing for a nominal fee for community members
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.
A climbing wall on the campus of Black Hills State
University provides students with the opportunity to scale to new
heights
BHSU recently installed a 20 x 16-foot indoor rock
climbing wall in the field house of the Donald
E. Young Sports and Fitness Center. According to Chris McCart, outdoor
education instructor, the wall is used with the physical education
classes to teach future physical education teachers how to lead
bouldering activities with youth. It is also used with a rock climbing
course and an outdoor skills course to teach climbing skills.
In addition, students in
the Collegiate Outdoor Leadership Program (COLP) , a student group
comprised of outdoor education majors at BHSU, received training in wall
supervision and now are available to oversee the climbing wall when it
is open to community people and students. The climbing wall is currently
open Tuesday and Wednesday evenings from 7-8:45 p.m. The rock wall is
also open to groups by special appointment. The cost is $4 per person or
$2 per person if they have their own gear.
“Wall supervision gives
outdoor education students valuable leadership experience and also
serves as a fund raiser for future wall expansion,” said McCart. She
added that COLP is accepting donations for rock wall expansions because
they are trying to make the wall taller and more exciting.
According to McCart a
grant was written because several youth wanted to use the wall but we
didn't have small enough gear for them or enough holds or supplies. The
grant provided funds for these materials.
McCart sees the climbing
wall as an excellent opportunity for the students as well as members of
the community.
Our outdoor education
students need experience working with youth, so this grant enables us to
partner with others to provide a fun activity for kids and leadership
experience for our students,” McCart says.
BHSU offers the only
outdoor education program in the state and region. The outdoor education
degree at BHSU is an interdisciplinary major combining instruction in
basic environmental sciences, training in education skills for outdoor
settings, and preparation in outdoor adventure programming.
University singers host medieval evening
Black Hills State University singers will host a ‘Medieval Evening’
Nov. 17 and 18 at Matthews Opera House, Spearfish. The evening begins
with a cash wine bar at 5:30 p.m. followed by dinner and entertainment
at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $25 per person.
Matthews Opera House will be decorated in the style of a medieval
castle and the singers (in costume) will lead the audience through
several favorite customs of the times before dinner (legend of the
mistletoe, boar’s head, wassail, lighting of the Christmas candle,
etc.). During dinner the singers and others will entertain their guests
with madrigals and familiar carols. After dinner the singers will
present a concert of songs of the Christmas season.
This event is sponsored by the BHSU music and theater departments.
Call 642-6652 or 642-6133, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m., for

BHSU choirs invite community to join
European tour
The Black Hills State University invites faculty and staff as well as
community people to join them on the Concert Choir and Black Hills
Chamber Choir's tour in Austria and northern Italy in May 2007.
According to Steve Parker, director of choral activities, the tour
group will have room for 20-25 additional travelers who would like to
"come along for the ride.” Several faculty members have traveled with
the group in the past and many others in the community have inquired
about traveling with the choirs.
For information regarding the tour, contact Parker at 642-6628 or

College of Business and Technology; Pat Simpson, NCATE; Cynthia
Chandler, University Curriculum Committee; Pam Carriveau, College of
Arts and Sciences
Item 1: Introductions and review of the agenda.
Item 2: An address by the President underscored
the importance of assessment to the process of educating students. The
President indicated that it was essential we test what we believe we are
teaching students is actually reflected in the curriculum and in their
performance. Further, she indicated that assessment is often a catalyst
in assuring good communication among faculty teaching in the same
discipline. Dr. Schallenkamp has been at the core of the assessment
effort as it developed over time. The President assured the committee
of the importance of our work and the vital role it plays in the quality
of education offered at Black Hills State University. She also invited
the committee to attend the Friday afternoon group which will meet on
Friday Oct. 13 from 1 to 4 p.m. in the Little Dining Room to discuss
students at BHSU.
Item 3: Dr. Haislett presented a summary of the
Student Satisfaction Inventory (SSI) for the 1999-2004 time period. Her
focus was to notify the committee members of the value of the data and
its existence. She volunteered to meet with any and all faculty, staff,
and students wanting more information or assistance in mining the data. Her points were:
- The SSI is scheduled for administration in
select classes in November 2006
- The demographics typically approximate 400
subjects, with comparable breakdowns of class designation, gender,
and ethnic background to the general full-time campus population.
- The instrument measures full-time day campus
students and is not distributed to part-time or off-site students.
- Results are calculated on the importance of
the item to the student’s expectations of college and satisfaction
with the job BHSU is doing regarding that item.
- Groups scored are:
All students, both genders, male only, female
only
Comparison to national norm and prior
year BHSU
Freshmen, both genders, male only , female only
Comparison to national norm, prior year BHSU, and
upperclassmen
Upperclassmen
Comparison to current year’s
freshmen
Residence Hall students
Comparison to prior year’s residence
halls students and current off campus
Off campus students
Students aged 18-24 years
Compared to ages 25+
Students aged 25+ years
Questions
addressed to summarize data are:
What items are consistent strengths and weaknesses?
How have the 3 summary questions fared? (paraphrased below)
Has BHSU met your expectations of a college
experience?
Overall, are you satisfied?
Would you enroll again?
What is the history on the key aspects of our campus?
Are students welcomed and do they feel safe
here?
Are academic requirements reasonable and are
classes valuable?
Do students have adequate academic and
technological support?
Are students connected with faculty advisors?
Are they adapting socially?
Is BHSU an enjoyable experience, worth the
investment?
Concluding the presentation were examples of how
the data can be mined to reflect specific questions.
Item 4: Next week we will review the “How to Write
a Plan Assessing Your Major” document. Noon in Meier Hall
conference Room, on Wednesday, Oct. 11.
George Earley, Assistant Vice President for
Academic Affairs
Minutes of
Assessment Committee Meeting, Oct. 11
The Assessment Committee met Oct. 11, 2006, in the Meier Hall
conference room from 12
noon to 1 p.m.
Present: Erin Dugan, Amin Sarkar, John Alsup, Laura
Colmenero-Chilberg, Judith Haislett, George Earley, Cynthia Chandler,
Pam Carriveau, Pat Simpson
Absent: Priscilla Romkema, Gary Hagerty, David
Calhoon
Item 1:
Annual Reports
Chair reported that we will be doing two assessment reports:
one for NCATE and one for the overall perspective on the majors.
The deadline for the NCATE reports has been set and Alsup and Simpson
reported that those reports were starting to come in.
The deadline for the University reports would be set soon.
Item 2:
Overall or university report on the majors
Clarification was sought by Carriveau. Her questions were:
Do we assess students or curriculum? Answer – student performance
Do we assess all students in classes or graduating seniors in
major? Answer – Either will do. The criteria for assessment is
the best way to determine what students are learning and from that
understand how to strengthen the major.
Item 3. How to write an assessment report-
Chair said
he had sent committee members a copy of how to write an assessment
report. The committee should look at that document and decide how much
data should be in the report and also how the report should be
structured. For example, at the front of the report should be a brief
statement of how many majors had graduated and how many had taken the
exit exam. Chair distributed data on degrees from the Regents’ Fact Book
Considerable discussion on what should be done with the intensive
writing and undergraduate degree requirements. Committee decided on two
steps- 1) those whose plan was not accepted last year should write and
submit one in addition to doing the annual report covering the last two
years 2) those whose plan was accepted last year should write and submit
an annual report plus attach a copy of last years proposal. Those
involved in step one would have to submit a document on intensive
writing and undergraduate research by November 20th. All
annual reports would be due January 19th.
Item 4:
The document ‘How to Write a Plan” will be altered to “How to Assess the
Major”.
Next week we will discuss the document and finalize it.
Chair will then visit with the College Deans regarding application for
this year.
Next
meeting: Meier Hall, Wednesday, October 18, Noon – 1 p.m. Final
revisions to “How to Assess a Major” discussed and adopted.
