Kevin Mullins: Fire in the Paint Locker

Kevin Mullins was known for producing compelling, complex, luminous, lyrical surfaces. He was at the height of his career when he passed away suddenly in March of 2018. A celebration of his work and life seems most fitting as his artistic career included 15 years at the Ulrich Museum as Exhibitions Curator. 

The Ulrich Museum of Art is proud to organize a retrospective of Kevin鈥檚 work, opening Friday, April 12. The exhibition, co-curated by Ann Resnick and Dan Rouser, will celebrate 30 years of Kevin鈥檚 work drawn from private and public collections including the Ulrich鈥檚 recent acquisition, God Blind Me, 2017. In addition, the Ulrich is pleased to produce a limited-edition catalogue to accompany the exhibit, featuring essays by David Butler, Elizabeth Dunbar, Bill North, Mike Odom and David Reed.

Co-curators Ann Resnick and Dan Rouser will be on hand to sign copies.

The morphological machinery of a language is at the service of syntax, but the service can be poor. A request may result in the wrong item (deponency), or in an item the syntax already has (syncretism), or in an abundance of choices (inflectional classes or morphological allomorphy).

Using examples from the West Slavonic language Lower Sorbian, I show how Network Morphology regulates the service by recreating the morphosyntactic space as a network of information sharing nodes, where sharing is through inheritance, and inheritance can be overridden to allow for both the regular and the semi-regular.

The network expresses the system; the way the network can be accessed expresses possible deviations from the systematic. And so Network Morphology captures the semi-systematic nature of morphology, attempting to tidy up the mess.

Medical Mission at Home - Saturday, April 13

成人头条 State is always looking for ways to better fulfill its mission, and that includes helping improve the health and wellness of our community.

That鈥檚 why we鈥檙e proud to collaborate with Via Christi, the City of 成人头条 and other partners in sponsoring this year鈥檚 Medical Mission at Home event, which provides free head-to-toe health care for those with little or no health insurance.

Each year, Shockers from across campus volunteer their time and services to make this event a success. For example, students and faculty from the College of Health Professions provide dental, vision and hearing screenings鈥攁nd other services鈥攖o hundreds of patients.

The Medial Mission at Home event is taking place this Saturday, from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., at Mueller elementary school located at 2500 E. 18^th St. N.

AACSB Barton School Accreditation

On Tuesday, we were pleased to announce that all undergraduate and graduate programs offered by Barton School of Business continue to be accredited by AACSB International鈥攁 premier accrediting body for business schools worldwide.

The Barton School is one of 836 business schools in 55 countries that are accredited by AACSB and one of 189 schools worldwide that have separate accreditation for both business and accounting. This extension of accreditation was announced by AACSB鈥檚 Board of Directors on April 1 and signifies the commitment of the Barton School to continually improve the quality of education it offers.

Strategic Enrollment Management: Admissions and Career Development

WSU has put Admissions and Career Development under the same umbrella, helping link newly admitted students to our brand of applied learning, where every student gains real-world experience leading to employment upon graduation.

By creating this link, we make our promise of an applied learning experience for every student even more explicit and obvious at the moment of being admitted. As we see an increase in the number of nontraditional students, returning adults and transfer students, who are often focused on career advancement motives, this closer connection makes even more sense.  

The goal is to guide every student toward an appropriate applied learning experience as well as provide career skill development such as resume building, interviewing and career networking.

Butler reportedly said, 鈥淗e was a great man and taught me how to work hard.鈥�

Butler continued to tell the Plumbing Department employees that this year鈥檚 teams is one the best group of guys that he鈥檚 coached in a long time, and that this has been one of the most fun seasons he鈥檚 had coaching baseball.

鈥淭hese guys have great attitudes and personalities. That鈥檚 something that can鈥檛 be taught by a coach, only by good parenting, similar to what I had while growing up,鈥� said Butler.

Thanks to Michael Basgall, plumbing supervisor, for sharing this story.

Comparisons with other psychological approaches, as well as medication, has identified behavioral activation as one of the more effective means of coping with depression. As its name suggests, behavioral activation stresses the importance of systematically re-engaging in a range of activities that are often abandoned in the face of depression.

Those interested in participating in the project will first be asked to complete a brief, online screening survey that assesses their level of depression and obtains some relevant background information. Those who qualify will be contacted with additional information and details about further participating in the treatment phase of this project which consists of eight weekly, individual sessions following some further assessment.

Our hope is that participants will learn some new strategies for more effectively coping with depression and that the overall findings from this project may also help improve psychological services offered to others who also struggle with it.

Interested individuals 18 or older experiencing a least a moderate level of depression can access the brief .
