Welcome
to ROUNDS! This weekly e-newsletter goes out to
all OU-COM and CORE personnel.
Those of
you who were OU-COMers prior to 2004 will recall the previous print versions of
ROUNDS, the internal publication that covered a variety of news, announcements
and just about anything happening in the college or our CORE system.
I encourage you to send
me your news/announcements each week by Wednesday by 3 p.m., which will make up
the following week’s ROUNDS. If you have any questions or suggestions, and I
imagine you might, please contact me, 3-0896 or sanders@oucom.ohiou.edu. The ROUNDS
archive is here.
NEWS
Go Red For Your Heart
This February
Go
Red For Women
is the American Heart Association’s
nationwide movement that celebrates the passion and power that we — men and
women — have to band together and wipe out heart disease. Heart disease claims
more than 870,000 people each year, of which 460,000 are women. That’s one woman
who dies almost every minute because of cardiovascular disease. More women die
of heart disease than the next five causes of death combined, including cancer.
February is American Heart Month, and the Go Red For Women
movement challenges women to know their risk for heart disease and take
action to reduce it.
On Feb. 1,
National Wear Red Day, the
American Heart Association encourages women to wear red — whether it is a red
dress, a red t-shirt, a red dress pin or red lipstick. Show the world you
passionately support Go Red For Women,
the movement to improve women’s heart health and save lives. For more
information, please visit www.goredforwomen.org and www.americanheart.org. Also, please
consider making a donation to the American Heart Association in honor of
Go
Red.

college’s favorite events, and we hope you will be able to attend this
year.

of you in the chili/soup competition, please bring your dish to the Irvine no
later than 11:30 a.m.; others should have their dishes there by 11:50
a.m. Judges will select the first,
second and third prize entries, but anyone chowing down can vote for the
People’s Choice Award. Split-the-pot tickets are available now and will be
sold during the SOUPer Bowl. Please RSVP with Carol Blue (blue@oucom.ohiou.edu or 593-2178) if you
haven’t already.
Faculty
Development Tidbit: Teach Students to be Better Listeners!
·
Begin by
asking students to write for one minute on “What do I hope to get out of this
lecture?” Explain how this will help them to listen more
effectively.
·
Tell
students you’ll give them 5-minutes at the end to summarize the main points for
someone sitting near them. End by asking what effect this had on their
listening, and point out they can use this approach even if they only summarize
in their own notes.
