November is Native American Heritage Month<\/h1>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Native American Heritage Month has its origins in the early 1900s when efforts were made to recognize the significant contributions of Native Americans. Dr. Arthur C. Parker, a member of the Seneca Nation and the director of the Museum of Arts and Science in Rochester, NY, successfully lobbied the Boy Scouts to set aside a day to honor the “first Americans.” This idea was adopted for three years.<\/div>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

After decades of celebrating American Indian Day on September 28, President George H. W. Bush approved a joint resolution in November 1990, officially designating it as “National American Indian Heritage Month.” Since 1994, similar proclamations under different names, including “Native American Heritage Month” and “National American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month,” have been issued.<\/div>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

Did you know that CC has a Native American Student Union (NASU)? NASU was founded in 1977 and has been a platform for hosting numerous Pow-wows and attracting Indigenous speakers, artists, and social justice advocates from across the nation since its inception. If you haven’t already, check out the NASU webpage<\/a> and learn more about the impactful work this student group is doing and how you can support its ongoing efforts.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n

Tess Powers<\/a>, Director of Faculty Research Support\/Research Compliance Officer, was awarded a substantial $100,000 grant from the National Science Foundation, along with seven colleagues from other small liberal arts colleges.<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
This grant will be instrumental in facilitating a series of virtual and in-person sessions for her professional network, Colleges of Liberal Arts Sponsored Programs (CLASP). These sessions are aimed at bolstering the group’s strategic plan, with specific objectives in mind: fostering a stronger Community of Practice, increasing participation across the 330 current CLASP member institutions, and dismantling systemic barriers to information exchange between institutions and external funders. These gatherings will be expertly guided by the Science Education Resource Center (SERC) at Carleton College. Ultimately, the primary goal of this initiative is to enrich and fortify the grant culture and research community within each participating institution.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n

Macroeconomics Class Emphasizes Community-Engaged Learning<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

When someone thinks of a Principles of Macroeconomics<\/em> class, they might picture students sitting for hours in front of a professor lecturing them on numbers. But Dr. Guanyi Yang, Assistant Professor of Economics and Business, takes a unique approach to teaching Principles of Macroeconomics<\/em>. Rather than the traditional lecture-based format, he emphasizes experiential and community-engaged learning to provide his students with a rich educational experience. \u201cI emphasize the importance of experiential learning by contextualizing theoretical principles through practical application,\u201d Yang says. \u201cSuch experiences illuminate the real-world workings of economic principles, fostering students’ transition into engaged citizen scholars.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

Yang’s Principles of Macroeconomics class is a community-engaged learning course (CEL)<\/a>, meaning it combines experiential education with community service. Throughout the semester, students explore macroeconomic principles and how government policies, both local and federal, influence economic conditions. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

On October 3, two of CC\u2019s Economics & Business classes, Entrepreneurial Marketing<\/em> and Investments<\/em>, had a virtual class visit with Ted Souder<\/a>, former Google executive and one of the company\u2019s earliest employees.<\/div>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

Now retired from Google after 20+ years with the company, Souder travels the world, sharing his practices of the Google playbook with businesses, governments, and nonprofit organizations. He is the authority on the transformative power of having a digital mindset.<\/div>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

For this visit, Souder joined CC\u2019s Executive-in-Residence Jacquie Amacher<\/a> and students from the Block 2 Business classes for a \u201cfireside chat\u201d to discuss his experience in the tech world, life as an entrepreneur, and his thoughts on the current state and future of digital business.<\/div>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

Amacher noted at the beginning of the chat that Google had recently celebrated its 25th anniversary, pointing out that the company had its start before any of the students in the room were even alive. Souder then commented that, while this is true, most of the people at the company in those early days, were not much older than today\u2019s college students. He went on to share stories about the early days of Google.<\/div>\n
