The University Center for Innovation in Teaching and Education (UCITE) will host a series of lunchtime seminars this summer. At each session, winners of the 1999 Nord awards will discuss their experiences in implementing their proposals.
The Nord grants are given annually for teaching initiatives which show interdisciplinary approaches and bringing new avenues of thought to bear on complex human problems; or a global orientation which considers transnational implications of human actions; or enrich the national reputation of Northern Ohio by producing graduates with special expertise or knowledge.
Each seminar will be held from noon to 1 p.m. Wednesdays in L5 Baker Building.
The fifth Nord award winner, Beverly Saylor (geology), is doing field work in Africa this summer and will give a presentation on "Living on Earth" in the fall.
For reservations, call UCITE at 368-1224 or send e-mail to ucite.

Sophomore Richard Babik received the Charles J. Ping Student Community Service award from Ohio Campus Compact. He received the award at the opening ceremony of the Ohio Campus Compact 2000 Student Spring Symposium -- "Service Rocks : Making Stone Soup for the World" -- held in April at Otterbein College.
"I am glad to receive recognition for making a contribution to a course that is so unique and catching on across the country as we share it with other university students," Babik said.
The Charles J. Ping award was given in two divisions -- community service and service learning. Babik was one of three students statewide to receive the award in the service learning division for his work in Engineering 101 as a student and teaching assistant and for his essay titled "Engineering 101 - Its Impact on Campuses, the Community, and Me," which outlined his work with the course.
This semester, Babik monitored and supported the successful completion of projects by four teams. These included the construction of marionette puppets for physically handicapped children, the construction of a flood gauge and Web page for a local nature center, and the structural analysis of a gym floor that saved a church over $5,000.
"As a liaison, I establish relationships within the community to secure future projects for the class," Babik said. "The results of this work have been very positive, and there are now numerous projects under consideration for the next semester," he added.
