Millersville Professor Searching for a Cure

Drs. Stanley and Doris Lefkowitz, retired faculty from Texas Tech School of Medicine are searching for a cure for MD. Not only is Doris Lefkowitz, Stanley Lefkowitz's wife, affected by MD but so is their son. Doris Lefkowitz and her son were diagnosed with Facioscapulohumeral (FSH) Muscular Dystrophy. About 35 years ago, the family heard of an experimental treatment for MD available in Japan. The treatment was a success, but the scientist who prepared the treatment suddenly died and the drug was lost.

World's Weather Records Find Home in ASU

Randy Cerveny has seen a lot of strange weather in his day, but lately the ASU President's Professor is focusing on recording it in his role as the keeper of the world's weather anomalies. In this new position as the world's Rapporteur on Climate Extremes, within the United Nations-affiliated World Meteorological Organization's (WMO) Commission for Climatology, Cerveny will maintain the world's extreme weather records, and he will be the person who decides if a new record is set or if it is just a bunch of smoke.

Breaking the Barriers of Traditional Learning

When the Fischler School opened its doors more than 35 years ago, the barriers of traditional learning were shattered, causing a ripple effect that can be felt today. Most modern classrooms of the day relied entirely on-site instruction- blackboards, professors, desks, students, and long lectures. Nova Southeastern University (NSU) was new. NSU was novel. NSU and its Fischler School of Education changed the rules of how adult learners learn. Blackboards became WebCT; professors travelled to cluster sites; students learned on-line in the privacy of their homes; lectures became on-line courses with audio, video, discussion, and interaction. Nova and the Fischler School of Education and Human Services brought the concept of customer service and customer care to higher education.
