Message from the Dean:
How EHE research spreads...through you

“See Baby Discriminate” in the Sept 14 issue of Newsweek describes research by our own Jeane Copenhaver-Johnson, teaching and learning, Mansfield campus.

Originally published in Language Arts, the study is among the few showing how teachers and adults can mediate children's knowledge of race.

Such articles spread the word about how we, as part of a top-ranked public research university, are among the first and the few to seek new solutions to society's challenges.

Students also share our research knowledge. Education psychology doctoral student DeLeon Gray recently interned at the NIH Office of Science Education. The OSE blog shares his advice to NIH staff about student motivation research. Gray cites work of his advisor, Eric Anderman, and faculty Lynley Anderman, both educational policy and leadership.

You, our alumni and friends, also share knowledge from EHE research. You carry the word to others, augmented by your own research and experience. Please continue to spread the word.

Cheryl Achterberg, Dean

Basic criteria: short (fits in e-mail subject line); doesn't contain the phrase “EHE News” (that's the title of our in-house faculty-staff newsletter, too confusing); clever or factual, either is fine; DOES contain “EHE.”

Please send ideas (no more than 2 or 3 each) to ehecommunications@osu.edu. Put “09 e-newsletter naming contest” in subject line. Include your full name, degree, and year of graduation.
