Jacquie Van Hoomissen, Biology, has been selected as a national fellow by the Fellows Council for PULSE, the Partnership for Life Sciences Education. The mission of the organization is to “provide academic departments with resources and skills that promote alignment of undergraduate life sciences programs with best educational practices. PULSE promotes the removal of barriers to access, equity, and inclusion, and the adoption of evidence-based teaching and learning practices. Such practices promote the development of scientists who reflect the diversity of our society and non-scientists who understand science as a way of knowing about the natural world.”
Fr. Jeff Schneibel, CSC, Archives & Artifacts, has been tapped to consult and assist the General Administration of the Congregation of Holy Cross (Rome), and has been appointed to serve in the role of General Archivist. In Rome, the General Archivist works with the several Holy Cross jurisdictions around the world—in Ghana, South India, Bangladesh, Haiti—coordinating their local archives, to preserve a narrative of their activities and to build better communications and bridges to share those stories globally. The concurrent appointment to this limited office is effective January 1, 2024, and permits him to continue his principal work and residence here at UP where Fr. Schneibel has held the position of University Archivist since 2012.
