 Greetings,
As the new dean of the School of Education and Allied Professions, one of the things I've been most impressed by at this remarkable institution is the loyalty and commitment of its alumni and retirees.
Given your continued support and interest, I thought you would enjoy receiving periodic reports on what's newsworthy as well as the progress we're making in building on our proud heritage of helping students meet their potential.
I'd also like you to pencil in April 21 on your calendars. That's the date for the rededication of McGuffey and Phillips Halls. Both halls have undergone extensive renovations with the work on McGuffey just being completed this fall. It's time to celebrate, and the event we're planning will include tours of both buildings, "classes without quizzes" featuring top EAP professors, a luncheon and other events that will help us reconnect with you. Complete information will be sent in the spring, but in the meantime hold the date.
Warm regards...
Carine M. Feyten, Ph.D.
Dean and Professor of Foreign Language Education

When Dean Carine M. Feyten arrived at Miami this fall she found that even Education and Allied Profession majors don't always know what the "allied professions" portion of the school's name means. So she initiated a process to involve the EAP community in coming up with a new name that better reflects the school's national niche.

 “The salsa was totally my favorite.”
That was Miami President David Hodge’s top pick after sitting down to a multi-course lunch that was planned, prepared and served by dietetic majors as part of a meal management course. |

“Life is too short. Don’t read a book you don’t like.”
So says Kathleen (Allen) Cawrse, an eighth-grade English teacher and 1975 Miami University teacher education graduate, whose success in getting non-readers to read is one of the reasons she received an American Stars of Teaching Award from the U.S. Department of Education. More than 4,000 teachers nationwide were nominated for the honor, but only 51—one from each state and the District of Columbia—were selected.

 The recent installation of a "lightpainting" in the new student commons area of McGuffey Hall represents the final step in a three-year $14.3 million renovation of the almost 100-year-old building. |
