Spring highlights service to the community
in Honors!
Through the Big Read,
Honors students Tina Beaver, Jamie Fair, Kelly Guckert, Gigi HammondSchrock, Lori Lisenbigler, Robin Monroe, Danielle Stroz, and Shannon Polacek
participated in a service project at Schuman Juvenile Detention Center. The
students read Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston and engaged with the Schuman residents in responding to the novel through poetry,
character letter writing, and skits based on selected quotes from the novel.
Through Honors Peer Study (SDS 106H, 1 credit), Honors students assist students enrolled in developmental courses by holding study groups on each campus. Erin Davis, Jamie Fair, Bryan Field, Kelly Guckert, Gigi Hammond-Schrock,
Eshe Isley, Charity Jeck, Robin Monroe, Alexis Rees, Kara Shorr, and Richard
White III meet with students one hour a week and explore peer study best
practices via Blackboard.
Campus Leadership Scholars Jamie Fair, Gigi Hammond-Schrock, and Lori Linsenbigler are organizing Honor the Earth activities at Allegheny, Boyce, and
South Campuses (see article on page 2).
As well as service activities, Honors students also attended the Monday Night
Lecture Series presentations of authors Sebastian Junger, Michelle Norris, and
Isabel Wilkerson at Carnegie Music Hall and the Pittsburgh Opera’s performance of Tosca at the Benedum Center as well as a pre-opera lecture and postopera “Meet the Artists.”
Natalya Mishkova was elected as 2011-2012 Student Representative to the
Northeast Regional Honors Council Executive Committee and has been busy
planning the student events for the upcoming conference in Baltimore,
Maryland, from April 12-15th.
Honors students Cierra Dunmire and Suzanne South from North Campus and
John Parkes from Allegheny Campus have been chosen to present their undergraduate research papers at the conference. Each of the students’ papers explores an aspect of the 2012 conference theme of Competing Claims: Divisions
and Coalitions.
Cierra Dunmire will present her fall 2011 Honors contract “Personalized Medicine” completed in General Biology I with Lila Nettrour; Suzanne South will
present her fall 2011 Honors contract “A Shift in Social Movements” completed
in International Relations with Professor Srujana Kanjula, and John Parkes will
present his fall 2011 Honors contract “Unions: The Dark Side of the Guild
Principles” completed in Microeconomics with Professor Robert Zeppuhar.
Honors students Natalya Mishkova, Phyllis Anderson, Jamie Fair, Robin Monroe, and Tina Beaver will join Cierra, Suzanne, and John at the conference. All
will participate in City as Text explorations of Baltimore, student presentations
of honors research, creative workshops, and social events, interacting with
other undergraduate Honors students and faculty from all over the Northeast
region.
Invitations were sent this week for the CCAC Honors celebration, the Honors
Forum to be held on Friday, April 27th from 3:45 pm – 6:00 pm in the auditorium of the Student Service Center at Allegheny Campus. We look forward to

CCAC Honors Program Wins the Pink
Feet Race for
the 5th Year!
Thank you to the CCAC
community for your generous support of the Honors
Program’s Pink Feet Race
for the Cure. As you may
remember, the CCAC
Honors Program competed
against the Honors Programs from Robert Morris and Point Park Universities to raise money for breast cancer research.
CCAC Honors Students Gigi Hammond-Schrock, Megan Hennessy, Lori
Linsenbigler, and Svetlana Suvorova served as team captains and generously gave of their time, ingenuity, and competitive spirit in conducting the
race, competing not only with Robert Morris and Point Park, but also
between the Honors students at the other CCAC campuses. The competition between campuses was won by North with $838, South at $730,
Allegheny at $542, Boyce at $481, and the Office of College Services at
$45.
Students in the Honors Leadership course with Professor Srujana Kanjula
worked together to organize pink feet sales at each campus cafeteria in
October. Humza Ahmed, Aleta Bullock, Mike Chessey, Kara Shorr, Danielle Stroz, Natalya Mishkova, Alexander Bennett, Mark Teahan, Sherriye
Winmon, Richard Pfab, Gigi Hammond-Schrock, Bryan Field, Michelle
Henderson, Larissa Holley, and Michael Colaizzi were creative in their
approach to promoting the Pink Feet Race.
Unseen, the Atlantic sings its beatnik ocean song:
clap-clap-clap the waves on granite,
woosh-shoosh-shoosh, sucking sand out to sea.
I am lured further to where the Spruce sentinels retreat
and allow the sun a place, a golden moment on this grey rock,
like a spoonful sweet, hot butterscotch.
Just beyond the sun-puddle lies a quarry
where long-dead men once scraped the island hollow,
and left heavy-laden with granite for market and monuments.
This once-ravaged ground, reclaimed by time and rainfall,
is full again: a secret swimming hole, proud and patient,
waiting to testify, “The earth heals itself.”
I dive into the deep, for a moment I am Jonaha scared something small in the dark belly of something old and big.
As I kick toward the shimmering surface,
all fear loses buoyancy and sinks into the black.
Cool and clean, I float.
Robin Monroe is a third-semester Liberal Arts major at Allegheny campus. She plans
to earn a Bachelor of Arts and MFA in Creative Writing. Robin’s favorite poet is Edna
St. Vincent Millay.
Fellow Honors students who also participated by working the cafeteria
tables and/or selling their pink feet include Cassie Sader, Jamie Fair, Lori
Linsenbigler, Melva Jones-Head, Jessica Glista, Shannon Polacek, Phyllis
Anderson, Mary Linn, Tina Beaver, Alexis Rees, Jan Beaver, Bonnie Sarazen, Martha Benavides, Vanessa Queiroz, Joanne Carson, Janeen Hughey,
Ashley Tiano, Derek Covington, Svetlana Suvorova, Joan Rectenwald,
Stephanie Csonka, Jeremy Coleman, Angela Gay, Katherine Kaemmerer,
Kaedi Manly, Christina Desalvo, Mamadou Bikienga, Megan Hennessy,
Kelly Butler, Ursala Dalima, Keenan Parrish, Shelby Ondich, Sandy
Delorenze, and Amanda Ward.
With your generous help, on November 29th, the Honors Directors from
the competing schools presented their checks to the Susan G. Komen for
the Cure Foundation.
Thank you for your continued commitment to help in the fight
against breast cancer!

HONORS RELIGIONS OF THE WORLD
HONORS GENERAL LITERATURE
This course is a description of the origins, development, and
manifestations of major world religions. Emphasis is placed on the
philosophical discussion of key concepts that are core to all religious practices, such as the religious experience, faith, and the
presence of evil. The similarities and differences of major faiths
are emphasized by guest speakers and possible field trip/s (to be
announced) and will encourage interactive discussions with people of different backgrounds. Study topics include the nature of
language in religious doctrine, human knowledge of divinities,
philosophy and religion, attempts to prove the existence of a god,
and defining “evil” in religious doctrines.
The theme for Honors English 115 is Pittsburgh Writers: authors
who live(d) in or write about Pittsburgh. Living here in Pittsburgh,
we have a rich literature legacy in which to draw from and learn.
We will be reading the poems of Terrence Hays, the memoir of
John Edgar Wideman, selected plays of August Wilson, as well as
several other authors living in Pittsburgh. Currently planned are
guest speakers from CMU, Pitt, and a member of the August Wilson family. We will also take a trip to the August Wilson Cultural
Center in downtown Pittsburgh and August Wilson's Hill District
neighborhood. Finally, we will look at some of the works of those
who have taken sanctuary in Pittsburgh, exiled under threat of
death, imprisonment, or persecution in their native countries.

Biology Major
Business Management Major
How many semesters at CCAC: 3
How many semesters at CCAC: 6
Educational Goals: I will earn my
bachelors degree in AgroEcology
with a minor in Entomology at Penn
State Agricultural Sciences campus,
and depending on finances, see how
much further my graduate studies
can go. Eventually I wish to go to the
graduate school Cornell University
for my Masters and PH.D in
AgroEcology + Entomology.
Educational Goals/Transfer plans:
I plan to transfer into the IUP Collaborative program for the Business Management/Human Resource Management degree program.
I have applied to the program and
plan to start IUP classes in the fall
of 2012.
Career Goals: Throughout my stay at Penn State Ag. school, I hope to
research the ways exotic species can be controlled, control of pesticide-resistant insects, and provide service to the local feral-bee collectors in the area. Later on, I will move to Germany to research
crops and the insects that affect them.
I should graduate from IUP in May of 2014. At that time I will apply
for enrollment into a Masters Program (most likely with IUP). I will
graduate with a Masters Degree in 2015 or the beginning of 2016.
Transfer plans: I will be transferring to Penn State at University Park
in fall of 2012 and will attend the College of Agricultural Sciences
campus.
Career Goals: I’m an entrepreneur. I know my future will definitely
involve my creation or ownership of some type of business. I would
also like to eventually teach business classes at the community college level. I am passionate about helping others achieve their goals.
Special interests/hobbies: Exploring outdoors, observing arthropod
activities, preparing beetles at Carnegie Natural History Museum’s
Invertebrate Department, playing artistic and mind-engaging computer/video games.
Favorite book/author: Bernard Werber’s Empire of the Ants
Tell us about your Honors contract for spring 2012: I am investigating the evolution of the early ancestral (Cambrian) insect into all the
modern families of arthropods. Vestigial structures on many of today’s families of arthropods are still visible, and there are also some
non-related non-arthropod species that look very similar to what
could have roamed around in the past. An emphasis on the differentiation of arthropod head anatomy and body anatomy will be discussed, and unanswered questions will also be presented.
Anything else you’d like us to know: My specialty in the field of
Entomology is going to be ants, bees, wasps and sawflies
(Hymenoptera). After I move to Germany and do research around
the University of Hohenheim (potentially), I want to move and go do
post-doctoral work in an Asian country.
I’m undecided if I will continue my education to receive a Doctorate
Degree.
Special interests/hobbies: I enjoy reading and have become addicted to personal development. I also like walking and listening to
audio books.
Favorite book/author: The Twilight Series by Stephanie Myers, Think
and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, and The Seven Habits of Highly Successful People by Stephen Covey
Tell us about your Honors contract for Spring 2012: Small Business
Management with Professor Lisa McCormick. The project is a small
business handbook. It will have a list of resources that will help in all
aspects of starting a new business.
The information I have learned from completing the different Honors
contracts is invaluable. They help enhance my research, organization, time management, and public speaking skills, and help me gain
a greater knowledge of subject material.
List two random facts you would like for us to know about you:
I have a 12 year old son (Dominick) and an 11 year old daughter (Jill).
I coach my daughter’s U-11 travel soccer team. In the fall we won 6
