From the desk of Dr. George Towers
Why study liberal arts?
A
college education in the liberal arts is fundamental. Fundamental,
that is, to gaining the skills that launch a professional career and the
values that inform effective citizenship. Liberal arts students learn universally
valuable job skills including the ability to communicate with dexterity and to
solve problems with informed judgment. Values instilled by the liberal arts
include an appreciation for diversity, an appetite for intellectual interests, and
a commitment to community involvement.
Division of Liberal Arts (DLA) students at IUPUC receive a Big Ten education
on a personal scale. In our small classes, students are treated as individuals.
Our highly qualified faculty, many of whom are leaders in their fields, work with
students from their first semester through graduation and are deeply invested
in their success.
As you’ll note throughout this issue of our newsletter, professors engage
students in a wealth of co-curricular activities that build lasting relationships.
For our faculty, helping students succeed in school and in their careers is among
the most rewarding aspects of their work.
Liberal arts students complete Indiana University bachelor degrees in English, communication studies, and sociology
at IUPUC. English majors choose between a concentration in literature or creative writing. Minors are available in all
of these subjects as well as in anthropology, history, leadership studies, medical sociology, and women’s studies.
It is my honor to serve as head of the DLA. I am proud to share the many wonderful activities and accomplishments
of our outstanding faculty, staff and students with you.
Sincerely,
George Towers, Ph.D.

STUDENT SUCCESSES
OPPORTUNITIES
▪▪
Division of Liberal Arts
students BAILEY MOSS and
MICHAELA WISCHMEIER
earned certificates of
participation for their
IUURC research projects.
SOCIOLOGY CLUB—IUPUC’s Sociology Club partnered with the sociology club at IUPUI for an AIDS Walk
on September 28, 2013 in Indianapolis. This is the club’s fifth consecutive year and the group has always
won the award for most funds raised by a college or university. Aimee Zoeller is the club’s faculty sponsor.
▪▪
ALPHA LAMBDA DELTA—In 2013, the IUPUC chapter of the national honor society Alpha Lambda Delta
was established. Upon meeting the high academic standards required for membership, students are
eligible to compete for scholarships and fellowships. Vickie Welsh-Huston and Anna Carmon are chapter
advisors. This fall’s initiation ceremony was held November 17 with Lisa Siefker Bailey making the keynote
address.
▪▪
2013 INDIANA UNIVERSITY UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH CONFERENCE (IUURC)—Students
Mike Fry (education), JoAnn Mitchell (psychology), Bailey Moss (English), and Michaela Wischmeier
(English) made research presentations at the 19th Annual IU Undergraduate Research Conference in
Bloomington on November 22. Julie Goodspeed-Chadwick associate professor of English and director of
the Office of Student Research, Joan Poulsen, associate professor of psychology, and Allison Howland,
assistant professor of special education, led the trip to Bloomington. Goodspeed-Chadwick mentored
Bailey Moss and Michaela Wischmeier’s work on Toni Morrison and Emily Dickinson, respectively.
▪▪
TALKING LEAVES—This year’s edition of our campus literary magazine boasts more authors, more firsttime published authors, and more artwork and photography than ever before. To celebrate, DLA hosted a
launch party on Thursday, December 5, at which students gave readings from their poetry and prose. With
Lisa Siefker Bailey’s dedicated sponsorship, the English Club oversees production of Talking Leaves.
▪▪
WOMEN’S STUDIES—Students taking women’s studies courses this spring are partnering with the Mill
Race Center on a semester-long service learning project. All students will volunteer at the center while
learning about women and aging. This project builds upon a successful 2012 partnership between women’s
studies students and Habitat for Humanity.
▪▪
ENGLISH CLUB—In addition to the hard work that went into Talking Leaves, the English Club was busy with
a host of wonderful activities this fall. The club promoted student writing with two events: a poetry benefit
to raise Thanksgiving food donations for Columbus’ Love Chapel and the Horror Hearts creative writing
contest won by Ella Billman. For Halloween fun, the club sponsored a Poe movie night and held a pumpkin
carving, with the resulting jack-o-lanterns based on favorite literary characters on display in the library for
the remainder of the season. The club concluded a great semester with a magical night on December 7
in Bloomington when they attended The Nutcracker ballet at IU’s Jacobs School of Music.
▪▪
SPEAKEASY—The 2013-14 academic year marks the 30th anniversary of IUPUC’s Speakeasy public
speaking competition. The competition, open to all students enrolled in COMM R110 Fundamentals of
Speech Communication, was held April 25. Students selected for the competition are nominated by
classmates and their instructors based on the quality of their explanation speeches in the classroom.
Contestants are judged on the basis of their delivery skills, speech structure, visual aids, and overall
presentation style. In honor of the 30th anniversary, Doug Gardner’s keynote presentation addressed
the history of IUPUC and the Speakeasy. Anna Carmon and Matt Rothrock, coordinator of the Academic
Resource Center, worked with the Communication Club to organize the event and Kate Baird and Aimee
Zoeller served as faculty judges.

Student successes & opportunities (cont’d.)
▪▪
STUDY ABROAD IN ENGLAND AND FRANCE—Aimee Zoeller, Lisa Siefker Bailey, and Anwar Ouassini
led DLA’s study abroad trip to Europe from March 14-22. The trip offered a choice of two courses. Bailey’s
Interdisciplinary Approaches to English & American Literature—American Popular Culture and the British
Literary Landscape was held in England. Zoeller and Ouassini’s urban sociology class focused on Paris
and London. IUPUC generously made six $1,000 scholarships available for students in each class. IUPUC
students also received IUPUI Study Abroad Scholarships for this trip. Zoeller and Bailey also worked
closely with the Office of Development and External Affairs to establish a donor-funded study abroad
scholarship fund.
▪▪
FEMINISM CLUB—In January, the Feminism Club was officially established with 20 founding members.
The Feminism Club seeks to educate the campus community about serious social injustices, often labeled
“women’s issues,” like human trafficking, domestic abuse, and equal rights. The club also seeks to expel
stigma around feminism by educating our campus about the most straight forward definition—“a movement for social, cultural, political and economic equality of men and women” (rise-of-womanhood.org). The
club’s goal is to flesh out common misconceptions about feminism, while uniting IUPUC as an educated
force advocating for change and equality. Bailey Moss is the club’s president and Julie Goodspeed-Chadwick is faculty advisor.
▪▪
HONORS PROGRAM—The IUPUC Honors Program, directed by Vickie Welsh-Huston, is ready to launch in
fall, 2014. The Honors Committee, which includes Vickie and Ryan Neville-Shepard, has established criteria
for honors recognition and developed a system of delivering honors classes. This spring, Vickie, Ryan, and
other committee members met with the inaugural class of prospective honors students.
▪▪
STUDENT RESEARCH EXHIBITION—On April 22, the Office of Student Research (OSR) held IUPUC’s
4th annual student research exhibition. The eleven poster presentations included three from liberal arts.
Mentored by Julie Goodspeed-Chadwick, students Makayla Knight and Lindsay Montgomery presented
“Feminist Interpretations of the Works of Sylvia Plath and Lisa See.” Emma Metz and Courtney Stewart
shared their research on interpersonal workplace conflict with guidance from Anna Carmon. James
O’Mara, advised by Ryan Neville-Shepard, presented an analysis of Rand Paul’s campaign rhetoric. Julie
Goodspeed-Chadwick is the Director of the OSR.

Faculty members
AIMEE ZOELLER and
DR. ANWAR OUASSINI
taught SOC-R 497 while
DR. LISA SIEFKER BAILEY
taught ENGL-L 373 during
an IUPUC study abroad
experience this semester.
ENGLISH DEGREE PROGRAM RECEIVES STATE APPROVAL—Last September, the Indiana Commission
for Higher Education (ICHE) approved IUPUC’s proposal to offer the Indiana University Bachelor of Arts
(BA) in English. The approval grants IUPUC jurisdiction over curriculum requirements for the English
degree, allowing faculty to tailor the program to the needs and interests of IUPUC students. Previously,
IUPUC English majors were required to follow IUPUI’s English curriculum and (although they completed all
coursework in Columbus), their degrees were conferred by IUPUI. Now, students who major in English
at IUPUC will have degrees that are conferred by IUPUC. In addition, ICHE approved a transfer agreement
that will enable Ivy Tech Community College–Columbus/Franklin graduates to easily transfer credits from
their Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts degrees toward the BA program at IUPUC. The approval represents
the sustained efforts of DLA faculty members Kathy Wills, Lisa Siefker Bailey, Terry Dibble, and Julie
Goodspeed-Chadwick. Wills, who coordinates IUPUC’s English program, prepared the final version of the
program proposal and led the way through the approval processes at IUPUC, IUPUI, and ICHE. Lisa Siefker
Bailey completed an initial draft of the proposal in 2011-12.

New programs (cont’d.)
▪▪
MINOR IN LEADERSHIP STUDIES—Ryan Neville-Shepard and Sandra Miles, director of student affairs,
have developed a new minor in leadership studies. The minor consists of five courses covering current
leadership theory and practice. The curriculum prepares students for leadership roles in non-profit
organizations, governmental agencies, community groups, and the workplace. The minor will also ready
students for graduate study.
▪▪
MEDICAL CONCENTRATION FOR SOCIOLOGY MAJORS—Led by Aimee Zoeller, the sociology program
is now offering a medical concentration which is designed to provide students with an increased understanding of the importance of social factors on health, illness, patient care, and the health professions.
The concentration offers sociology students with an interest in health and health care services with deeper
perspective about the links between human health and society. Students completing the minor will be
better prepared for entry into a variety of professional programs and careers including nursing, optometry,
medicine, social work, medical sociology, and psychology.
AWARDS
▪▪
CARMON NAMED ONE OF COLUMBUS’ TOP 20 UNDER 40—Dr. Anna Carmon was recognized by

assistant professor of sociology, completed a Ph.D. in sociology at the University of New Mexico.
His dissertation, titled“Between Islamophobia and the Ummah: How Spanish Moroccans Are
Negotiating Their Identities in Post 3-11 Madrid,” included in-depth interviews with 33 SpanishMoroccans in Madrid. He found the opposed ideologies of Islamophobia and the Ummah, a
concept that promotes the primacy of Muslim identity, are racializing Spanish Moroccans toward
a Muslim-Arab religious identity. Ouassini joined the division in 2012.
▪▪
WELSH-HUSTON JOINS THE DIVISION OF LIBERAL ARTS—Last fall, Vickie Welsh-Huston
joined the division as director of both the General Studies Program and the Honors Program.

first senior lecturer. Promotion to senior lecturer is predicated on excellent teaching and
connecting scholarship to teaching. The reciprocal relationship Bailey maintains between
her teaching and research exemplifies this standard. Her chapter, “Hogtied Emotions:
Teaching Mary Karr’s The Liars’ Club in First-Year Composition,” was published this year in
Civil Strife in a Complex and Changing World: Perspectives Far and Near. Two of Lisa’s new
essays, “Introducing Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard with Method-Style Acting and
Facebook-Style Reacting” and “Hustling Masculinity: Teaching Henry IV, Part I with My
Own Private Idaho,” will appear in forthcoming Modern Language Association publications.
Her teaching expertise has earned her membership in the IU Faculty Colloquium on
Excellence in Teaching.

GOODSPEED-CHADWICK SELECTED BY THE AMERICAN LITERATURE ASSOCIATION TO
SPEAK ON GERTRUDE STEIN CENTENNIAL—Dr. Julie Goodspeed-Chadwick will present the
anchor paper for the Gertrude Stein Society’s panel discussion on the centennial anniversary
of Tender Buttons at the American Literature Association Conference in May. Stein’s Tender
Buttons is considered a revolutionary work of literary modernism. Goodspeed-Chadwick’s
reputation as a leading modernist scholar continue s to grow with forthcoming contributions.
Her essay, “Modernist Style, Identity Politics, and Trauma in Ernest Hemingway’s Big TwoHearted River and Gertrude Stein’s Picasso,” will be included in Teaching Hemingway and
Modernism, published by Kent State University Press. Teaching American Literature: A Journal
of Theory and Practice has accepted her paper, “Reading and Teaching the Modernist
Aesthetics and Identity Politics in Kay Boyle’s The White Horses of Vienna” for a special
edition on teaching and re(dis)-covery of American authors.
WILLS’ SCHOLARSHIP INCREASES NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL REPUTATION—
ePortfolio Performance Support Systems: Constructing, Presenting, and Assessing Portfolios,
which Wills edited with a Texas Tech University colleague, was published by Parlor Press this
fall. The volume offers new viewpoints about how today’s college professors and students
are using emerging technologies for teaching, learning, professional development, and
employment searches. As Wills notes, digital portfolios are an increasingly important tool:
“Digital portfolios save time, money, and paper. For educators, they are a convenient means
of sharing an array of information, artifacts, and materials for teaching. For students, they
are a creative, cost-effective, and accessible way to document their skills, experiences, and
achievements as they begin the job search.” Her research for the book was partially funded by
a $10,000 grant from IUPUI. Wills’ teaching also informed her scholarship as she has developed
portfolio preparation methods through her English capstone class.
Wills’ international reputation was also reinforced by her selection for two prestigious scholarly
events. She was one of three professors from American universities asked to lead a session
titled “Academic Writing: Russian and International Experience,” during the Fulbright
Summer School in the Humanities last June at Moscow State University. In February, she
spoke on teaching research writing in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics
(STEM) disciplines at the Writing Research Across Borders Conference of the International
Society for the Advancement of Writing Research, sponsored by the University of Paris-Ouest
Nanterre la Defense, a Sorbonne-affiliated university. Will’s presentation is in collaboration
with Dr. Barbara Hass-Jacobus, an IUPUC biology lecturer, and is funded by an Overseas
Conference Grant from the IU Office of the Vice President for International Affairs.
