Summer College is a program organized by the Evansville Association for the Blind (EAB)and held on UE's campus during the summer II session. The program is open for students with any disability giving them a chance to explore college as a possible option for their future. EAB is currently looking for volunteers to be readers for the program. The number of hours you volunteer is flexible. Reading will mainly involve reading tests and recording answers, but could also involve reading class handouts and text books to students. If interested in volunteering please email Krysti Hughes at krystioanm1@aol.com You may contact Debbie Brenton at 488-2663 or db132@evansville.edu with any questions. Additional information about the program can be found at eab.evansville.edu/collegeProgram.htm

Faculty members, what are you reading this summer? You're invited to share your book recommendations for a feature that will appear on UE’s website and social media channels. 

If you'd like to contribute, please e-mail Kristen Lund, director of news services (KL147) the title and author of a book you’d recommend for a broad audience -- as well as a brief explanation of why it’s worth a read -- by the end of the day Wednesday, June 5. Thank you in advance for your help!

While food isn’t a cure-all when it comes to stress, what you consume has the potential to affect your body.

Alcohol, caffeine, and high-sugar foods can contribute to mood changes, excessive stress, and blood sugar disruption.

Foods rich in the vitamin B complex, on the other hand, may help you stabilize your mood and avoid stress, while those rich in antioxidants may help combat the free radicals released when your body’s stressed.

If you feel stressed this week, increase your vitamin B and antioxidant intake by eating more veggies (especially dark leafy greens), whole grains, beans, nuts and seeds.

Assistant Professor of Music Therapy Kathleen M. Murphy has two chapters, Ethical Considerations in Experiential Learning, and Experiential Learning in Music Therapy: Faculty and Student Perspectives included in Self Experiences in Music Therapy Education, Training and Supervision edited by Kenneth E. Bruscia and published by Barcelona Publishers. 

Associate Professor of Biology Cris Hochwender has a research article titled “Costs of glucosinolates in Brassica rapa: Are they context dependent?” in the most recent issue of the Open Journal of Ecology.  Two former UE biology majors— Krista Fleck and Nikki Duvall — are co-authors on the paper. The paper uncovered evidence that chemical defenses can be costly, but that those costs may be temperature dependent, occurring only under higher temperatures, where turnover of chemical compounds may be greater.

Professor of Mathematics Clark Kimberling  has a research article titled “Fractal Change-of-Base Functions” in the March 2013 issue of Advances and Applications in Mathematical Sciences.  The paper introduces a class of fractals similar to some pictured in the Wikipedia article “List of fractals by Hausdorff dimension."
