Attention Sophomores and Juniors:

The Liberal Arts and Management Program (LAMP) will be accepting applications from September 1 – October 1. Apply online at www.indiana.edu/~lamp.

Are you interested in majoring in the College of Arts and Sciences but also learning about business, management and leadership? Do you enjoy studying multiple points of view? If you answered “yes” then LAMP might be the right place for you. What is LAMP you ask? LAMP is an honors interdisciplinary program offered by the College of Arts and Sciences in cooperation with the Kelley School of Business. It allows students the opportunity to have a major in the College but take classes in the business school that enhance management and leadership skills. LAMP students are drawn from the full range of majors within the College—from Biochemistry to Theater & Drama. Students can complete either a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science, and many LAMP students pursue a double major.

At LAMP students don’t just learn inside the classroom, we provide a wide variety of co curricular programs for students to get involved in. During any given week a student could attend a Master Class with the CEO of Clorox, have lunch with the Sudan Desk Officer from the US State Department , and attend a workshop on preparing for a career fair. We encourage students to pursue all their passions, whether that is multiple majors, overseas study, or internship experience. We are here to make sure that students can get the most out of their 4 years at Indiana University.

This program gives interns the opportunity to develop skills, make professional contacts, build their resumes and explore future career opportunities within the IRS. Students will need to commit to 10-weeks at the agency, beginning in late May.

The American Play

2009-03-26T14:43:00.000-04:00

Suzan-Lori Parks (who visited IU last year as our Ralph L.
Collins Memorial Lecturer) has written a play that truly espouses her
vision. "History-the destruction and creation of it through theater pieces
and how Black people fit into all of this-is my primary concern."

Meet the Foundling Father, an African American man dressed as Abraham
Lincoln as he works the Hall of Wonders allowing tourists of all kinds to
"assassinate" him over and over. He is quite chummy with the regulars. As
THE AMERICA PLAY dissects Abraham Lincoln's story it opens up a great hole
in our culture. This is an opportunity to see what's in the hole and share
in a truly unique theatrical experience.

Directed by Edris Cooper-Anifowoshe, THE AMERICA PLAY opens Friday, March
27, at 7:30 p.m. and continues Saturday, March 28, and Tuesday through
Saturday, April 4.

In addition to the performance, we invited you to Circle Sunday. This
Sunday, March 29, Professor Marlon M. Bailey will present "Buried History in
THE AMERICA PLAY." Circle Sunday takes place at 3:00 p.m. Sunday March 29 in
the Wells-Metz Theatre. This event is free and open to anyone. We hope you
will spread the word.

No matter what performance you see, we invited you back Tuesday, March 31,
after the show for a talk-back with the cast and director (maybe a designer
or two) where you can ask questions and share your thoughts about the show.

Ticket prices range from $12-$20. For ticket information call the IU
Auditorium Box Office at 855-1103 or Order tickets online at
theatre.indiana.edu.

For more information about the show, meet the cast, see the press release
and hear an interview with director Edris Cooper-Anifowoshe and actor Jamaal
McCray, just click on this link

Letter from MIMI!

2009-03-11T15:55:00.000-04:00

Dear Scholars,

First, I want to thank all those students who have shared with me their achievements or the achievements of their friends. Nonetheless, we want to hear from more of you. With 600 plus students in the program, I am doubtful that only 12 students have made achievements. Please, do not be shy or modest! There is no such thing as a small or insignificant achievement! We want to recognize students who have been have been admitted in a program, received an internship or job offer, received a scholarship or other type of award, have been admitted to graduate, law, medical school, have won competitions, been placed on the Dean's list, and anything else I forgot to mention.

Again, do not be shy or modest! We want to celebrate your achievements! You deserve to be recognized for your efforts!

Second, we realize that many of you are active on campus and in the community. Thus, we want to support and help publicize your participation in athletic events, contests, poetry readings, band performances, dance performances, Little 500 competitions, fund raising efforts, conference presentations, art exhibitions, etc.

Please share your information with us by emailing Mimi Attenoukon at miatteno@indiana.edu Please copy and paste "HHSP Student Newsletter -- Student achievements and activities" in the subject line.

Thanks for your time and cooperation.

Best wishes,

Matters of Choice: Puerto Rican Women's Struggle for Reproductive Freedom

2009-03-05T15:01:00.001-05:00

Thursday, March 5th

Matters of Choice: Puerto Rican Women's Struggle for Reproductive Freedom
2:30-3:30pm in Ballantine Hall 004 Professor Iris López will be discussing
her most recent book, Matters of Choice: Puerto Rican Women's Struggle for
Reproductive Freedom (Rutgers University Press, 2008)as part of IU's Women's
History Month Lecture Series. Sponsored by Latino Studies and the Office of
Women's Affairs.

Description: In this talk Dr. Lopez will present a comprehensive analysis of
the dichotomous views that have portrayed Puerto Rican women as victims of
sterilization abuse or active agents that exercise complete reproductive
freedom. Drawing upon twenty-five years of research on sterilized Puerto
Rican women from five different families in Brooklyn, New York, she
untangles the interplay between how women make fertility decisions within
their social, economic, cultural, and historical constraints. Professor
López will read a few excerpts from the stories of the women she worked
with, and present her model of reproductive freedom, which transcends
victim/agent debates and proposes a broader definition of reproductive
rights within a feminist anthropological context.

The descendents of Cherokee black slaves

February 13, 2009

The Descendents of the Cherokee Freedmen: Victims of Sovereignty?"

12pm at the Eigenmann 6th Fl Room 621

Talk by Delphine Criscenzo (African American and African Diaspora Studies)

"The descendents of Cherokee black slaves have been faced with several
actions on the part of the Cherokee Nation to revoke their citizenship.
These efforts climaxed in March 2007 and have given birth to an important
wave of resistance. The Cherokee Nation says that their sovereignty as an
Indian Nation gives them the right to decide who gets to be Cherokee. On the
side of the descendents of the Cherokee Freedmen, they did not choose to be
involved with the Cherokee Nation, nor did their ancestors. Is history still
relevant or are the descendents of the Freedmen the victims of an Indian
struggle to maintain their sovereignty?"

Black History Month

2009-02-04T14:53:00.000-05:00

As Black History Month begins, it is essential that we remember the man who
made this month possible, Carter G. Woodson. As a historian, Woodson always
had a deep connection to the study of history--especially Black history. He
strongly believed that in order for African Americans to be successful in
their future, they needed to know that it was also their contributions that
helped to build this nation. Therefore, in 1915, he became a member of what
is now known as the Association for the Study of African-American Life and
History, and in 1926 he began Black History Week. The week was intended for
the observation of the birthday of Frederick Douglass and to honor the great
contributions of African Americans to the United States. The week was so
well received that it was eventually extended to a month.

Celebrate Black History Month at the Kick-off Fair on Thursday, February 5,
2009 at 5:30pm at Showers City Hall, 401 N. Morton St. The fair will include
activities for visitors of all ages, including a presentation celebrating
the 50th Anniversary of Motown Records by Dr. Charles Sykes, Director of the
African American Arts Institute at Indiana University; a presentation by the
Monroe County History Museum for children; storytelling by local actor I.
James Torry; historical information sessions about role of black
fraternities and sororities; and discussions about scholarship opportunities
and college preparation. The fair is open to the entire community and free
of charge. Refreshments will be served.

KING DAY 2009 ESSAY COMPETITION: “Times of Challenge and Controversy"

2008-12-05T15:10:00.000-05:00

This year’s theme is drawn from Dr. King’s reminder that we are not to be measured by how we act in times of “comfort and convenience,” but how we act in times of “challenge and controversy” (Strength to Love, 1963).

Dr. Calvin Mackie, in his address at the 2008 IU King Day Celebration, spoke of his disappointment in many leaders’ reaction to the devastation of his hometown, New Orleans, in the wake of hurricane Katrina, and how poorly served the people of Louisiana were in this time of challenge. His recent book, A View from the Roof: Lessons for Life and Business, urges every person to undertake the following endeavors:

1) Serving others to help them grow and develop as human beings

2) Solving problems that prevent people from reaching their potential

3) Promoting and saving causes that benefit humankind

The MLK Day Essay Committee invites graduate and undergraduate students of IUB to submit an original essay that draws on their experience to respond to this question:

How have you [or someone you admire] answered Dr. Mackie’s call, and begun to take action to fulfill the expectation Dr. King held for all people in times of “challenge and controversy”?

Successful essays will answer the question, make specific reference not only to the writer’s personal experience and observations, but also to the life, times, and writings of Dr. King.

• Length: 1,000-1,500 words (4-5 pages)

• Eligibility: All IUB graduate and undergraduate students*

*previous first-place award winners are not eligible

• Prizes: To be awarded in both graduate and undergraduate categories:

1^st: 32 GB I-Touch + iHome iH9B6 Speaker

2^nd: 8 GB I-Touch + iHome iH9B6 Speaker

3^rd: 16 GB I-Pod Nano

• Submissions:

Writers should submit six (6) copies of their completed essays by 5:00 pm on Monday, December 8, 2008, to the Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity and Multicultural Affairs, Bryan Hall, Room 115. ESSAYS SUBMITTED DIRECTLY TO JUDGES OR COMMITTEE MEMBERS WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY DISQUALIFIED. To ensure blind judging, writers should not show drafts or final copies of their essays to committee members or judges. Writers should place their names, addresses, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses on a separate sheet; their names should not appear in the text of their essays. First-place winners will be asked to read their essays at the MLK Breakfast on Monday, January 19, 2
