UE Alumna Maggie Somody Receives Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellowship

0

University of Evansville alumna Maggie Somody has been named to the 2015 class of Woodrow Wilson Indiana Teaching Fellows by the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation. The announcement was recently made by Governor Mike Pence at an event at the University of Indianapolis.

Forty-nine individuals will be part of the 2015 cohort of the Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellowship program in the state, offered at Ball State University, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, Purdue University, University of Indianapolis, and Valparaiso University.

The highly competitive program recruits recent graduates and career changers with strong backgrounds in science, technology, engineering, and math STEM fields and prepares them to teach in Indiana’s most underserved public schools. Each Fellow receives $30,000 to complete a specially designed, cutting-edge master’s degree program based on a year-long classroom experience. In return, Fellows commit to teach for three years in the urban and rural Indiana schools that most need strong STEM teachers. Throughout the three-year commitment, Fellows receive ongoing support and mentoring.

Somody earned her Bachelor of Science degree in professional chemistry from the University of Evansville. While at UE, she served as a chemistry, calculus, and geometry tutor; did undergraduate research in organic synthesis; was a laboratory assistant in organic and general chemistry; and was an America Reads tutor for kindergarten through third grade.

IS IT TRUE AUGUST 28, 2015

IS IT TRUE don’t be surprised to hear the City Attorney has decided to file an appeal with the United States Supreme Court in the CHIEF BILLY BOLIN  and EDNA MIlAN case?  …in our opinion the Supreme Court won’t hear this case?  …this move would allow time for this case from being heard  by the lower court until well after the November election?

IS IT TRUE we were entertained by a recent e-mail sent by Councilman John Friend CPA to a fellow Council member? …Mr. Friend wrote: “We need to know Mayor’s Chief of Staff Steve Schaefer’s educational and professional credentials since he indicates his  opinion of  cutting the 2016 City budget around $10 million dollars is ridiculous?  … MR. Friend said  “just for the recorded, I reviewed my CPA certificate  on March 31, 1979,  I was approved to do Public Accounting work”?  …”I wonder if Mr. Schaefer has a CPA Certificate that gives him the authority to pass judgement on accurate opinions about the proposed 2016 City budget”?

IS IT TRUE  Mr. Friend makes a valid  statement concerning the Mayor’s Chief Of Staff Steve Schaefer professional and educational background and experiences?  …we wonder if Mr. Schaefer every owned a business and was responsible for making payroll?  …was Mr. Schaefer  ever responsible for keeping a business competitive,  paying Federal, State and Local taxes while making an honorable profit?

IS IT TRUE we are puzzled why City Council persons Missy Mosby made comments about what City Council City Attorney Scott Danks  was paid this year?  …if she thinks Mr. Danks legal services aren’t worthlly of being retained  by City Council for another year then why has she retained him to represent her when she has legal problems in the past?  …Mr. Danks also represented At-large City Councilman Jonathan Weaver in his recent divorce action filed in Warrick County?

IS IT TRUE  we just can’t get over At-large City Councilman Jonathan Weaver comments that he sees no problem with the proposed 2016 City Budget? …Mr. Weaver declares that the proposed 2016 City Budget is just fine and dandy the way the Mayor has submitted it to City Council?  …we wonder if he was talking about the 2015 City budget instead of the proposed 2016 budget?
