SPO to Host Benefit Concert April 3

The UNO Spirit Committee has designated this activity as a UNO spirit event.

The Student Programming Organization (SPO) will host a concert featuring The Rocket Summer to benefit the "UNO to UNO Hurricane Relief Project" Monday, April 3.

The free concert, featuring pop/rock bands The Rocket Summer and Epic Hero, will be held in the Milo Bail Student Center Nebraska Room and Ballroom from 7 to 10 p.m. The doors will open at 6 p.m.

While the concert is free to UNO students and the public, SPO is asking for an optional donation, the proceeds of which will go to the University of New Orleans.

"We have had the UNO to UNO containers at most of our events," said T.J. Jones, the student director of SPO, "but we thought we should plan a show that would put the spotlight on the fund-raiser."

Hailed as one of Alternative Press Magazine's "100 Bands to Know in 2006," The Rocket Summer is the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist singer/songwriter Bryce Avery.

Since the release of his first album in 2003, Avery has toured as The Rocket Summer with Something Corporate, Hellogoodbye, Reliant K, Mae, Sugarcult, Jimmy Eat World and The All American Rejects, among others. His newest CD, "Hello, Good Friend," was released in May 2005.

"UNO to UNO" was set up in the fall of 2005 following Hurricane Katrina's destruction of New Orleans. The project is raising money to help those in the Louisiana UNO community who lost so much rebuild. The fund-raiser will conclude in May at the end of the academic year.

For more information, contact Erin Cron at 554.2711 or ecron@mail.unomaha.edu.

Those in attendance at the April 3 concert will be eligible to receive a "Spirit Ticket" from the UNO Spirit Committee. A drawing for one Island Tropics bath and body care gift set will take place. Participants do not have to be present to win. For more information, contact Becky Bohan Brown at 554.2243 or Mary Sweaney at 554.3668.

The UNO School of Social Work will host its ninth annual symposium and Gandhi Award Luncheon Friday, April 7. The event will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the W.H. Thompson Alumni Center. The luncheon will get under way at noon.

During the luncheon, the ninth annual Gandhi Award will be presented to longtime Nebraska peace activist Frances Mendenhall for her dedication to using nonviolent methods and her work in peace and justice.

Since 1999, the Gandhi Award has been presented annually during the UNO School of Social Work Symposium.

"The award luncheon and daylong symposium are excellent opportunities for social workers, youth agency workers, alternative and secondary school teachers, social activists, mental health practitioners and other human service professionals to come together for learning and celebration of our collective commitment to social justice," said Ashlie Hurt, event organizer in the UNO School of Social Work.

Spring 2006 BFA Thesis Exhibition Opens April 7

The Spring 2006 BFA Thesis Exhibition opens Friday, April 7, at UNO. A reception will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the UNO Art Gallery.

The work of Frances Osugi, Brandon Liebig, Kym Johnson Rutledge, Jonathan Sours and Alexia Thiele will be featured.

Osugi's thesis, "Hand Produced Books from the Monku-Monku Press," showcases edition printing in letterpress, woodblock, intaglio and photolithography. "The portraits and stories come from my life and my imagination," she said.

Rutledge's thesis is titled "Who am I? I am Everyman." This series of paintings is based on contemporary characters from "Everyman," a medieval morality play written in the 15th century. "Each character is a personification of a virtue or vice, and each embodies a part of me," Rutledge said. "My painting style expresses the movement of wet paint in order to bring life to a static state, as breath is to the body."

Jonathan D. Sours titled his painting and drawing series "Ten Accounts of Three Figures." It features three figures that are examined and deconstructed through repetition.

Thiele's thesis, "duplicate duplicate," is a reflection of life as a twin.  It includes video, puzzles and collages.

The exhibition runs through May 5. The UNO Art Gallery is located on the first floor of the Weber Fine Arts Building. Admission is free and open to the public. Gallery hours are as follows: Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, noon to 4 p.m.; Thursday, noon to 8 p.m.; and Sunday, 2 to 5 p.m.

For more information, call Deborah-Eve Lombard at 554.2796.

Experimental Gallery Invites Exploration through May 5

Ventilation, an experimental gallery created by studio art students in the UNO College of Communication, Fine Arts and Media, is currently on display in the southeast corner of the UNO Sculpture Lab.

The purpose of this laboratory space is to create a forum for exploratory technical and conceptual practice, said David Helm, associate professor and chair of the UNO Department of Art and Art History. A series of six weekly exhibits is taking place through May 5. This semester's work includes video installation, environmental transformation, political commentary and nostalgic feminist documentary. 

"By using artwork, students seek to establish a significant dialogue between the campus and the community," Helm said. "Ventilation is an open atmosphere that welcomes people interested in investigating the boundaries of human expression."

Parking is available outside the UNO Sculpture Lab. Opening receptions are taking place each Monday from noon to 1 p.m., and closing receptions are taking place each Friday from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.

For more information, contact Helm at 554.2207.

School Receives Kappa Tau Alpha Chapter

The UNO School of Communication has been granted a chapter of Kappa Tau Alpha (KTA), the seventh oldest national honor society. UNO received overwhelming approval, said KTA Executive Director Keith Sanders. Chris Allen, associate professor in the UNO School of Communication, developed the proposal.

The emblem of KTA is the key, the oldest symbol of knowledge and communication. The Greek letters mean "The Truth Will Prevail."  The letters also suggest three English words: knowledge, truth and accuracy. The society's colors are light blue, significant of truth, and gold, emblematic of worth and high standards.

KTA is a college honor society that recognizes academic excellence and promotes scholarship in journalism and mass communication. Membership must be earned by excellence in academic work at one of the colleges and universities that have chapters. Selection for membership is a mark of highest distinction and honor.

KTA was founded at the University of Missouri and is one of 67 Association of College Honors Society members. The society, as part of its efforts to promote scholarship, co-sponsors the Kappa Tau Alpha-AEJMC Awards luncheon at the annual convention of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication. Since 1945, it has presented an annual award for the best research-based book published on journalism/mass communication.

Gail Baker Named Dean of CCFAM

Gail F. Baker has been named dean of the College of Communication, Fine Arts and Media at UNO. She will begin her new duties July 1.

The appointment is pending approval by the University of Nebraska Board of Regents.

"Dr. Baker brings a unique combination of administrative and academic accomplishments to the position," said UNO Chancellor Nancy Belck. "She has the skills and experience to develop this exciting new college."

The UNO College of Communication, Fine Arts and Media (CCFAM) was formed July 1, 2005. The move united UNO's existing School of Communication, radio station and television station with the UNO College of Fine Arts. Today, CCFAM consists of the UNO School of Communication; four academic departments – art and art history, music, theatre and Writer's Workshop; KVNO Classical 90.7 FM; and UNO Television. 

"The new college is a critical component of UNO's metropolitan mission and commitment to students, academic excellence and community engagement," said John Christensen, vice chancellor for academic and student affairs at UNO. "Dr. Baker's previous administrative appointments and scholarly research are especially appropriate for UNO's metropolitan mission and our commitment to diversity and inclusion for students, faculty, staff and the community."

Dr. Baker received her Ph.D. in journalism from the University of Missouri-Columbia in 1991, her M.S. in marketing communications from Roosevelt University in 1980 and her BSJ in journalism from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University in 1976. She joins UNO from the University of Florida where she has held numerous positions since 1995, including vice president for public relations, director of communications, special assistant to the provost for academic communications, and chair and associate professor of public relations in the College of Journalism and Communications. Prior to her arrival at the University of Florida, she held academic and administrative positions at the University of Missouri-Columbia from 1983 to 1995.

Dr. Baker is accredited in the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) where she is also a member of the College of Fellows.  She has published on cross-cultural communications, ethnic public relations, reputation management, and advertising and marketing.  Dr. Baker has also won awards for excellence in teaching and scholarship.

"I am extremely excited and honored to be joining UNO and the Omaha community. This college is uniquely positioned to advance the university's metropolitan mission. I look forward to working with the outstanding individuals who comprise and support CCFAM," Dr. Baker said.

Robert Welk began serving as interim dean of the former UNO College of Fine Arts in July 2003 and was appointed dean of the newly formed CCFAM in July 2005.
