we_news@email .wcu.edu Construction Management Students Raise Roofs with Purdue Students le ast spring, construction management students from WCU were joined by students from Purdue University to build a Habitat for Humanity house in Sylva. This spring, some WCU students traveled to West Lafayette, Ind., to return the favor. About 20 students representing both schools recently helped construct a house in Lafayettes Bristol Park subdivision. The project gives students the opportunity to see first hand some of the steps involved in the construction of a house, while simultaneously providing a valuable service to the community, said Bradford Sims, associate professor and director of WCUs construction management program. Its good experience for us, as far as getting out into the field and working, said WCU student Steve Painter. Its also always good to meet other people from different programs and listen to what they have to go through. Purdues construction engineering and management department has been involved in Habitat for Humanity projects for several years. Last year, Purdue and WCU students helped build a house for the Jackson County chapter of Habitat for Humanity. Since Ive been there, we got to know the people and make some good connections and some good friends, said Brian Boss, Purdue University electrical contractors association president. Construction management is a professional service that applies effective management techniques to the planning, design and construc- tion of a project from the beginning to end for the purpose of control- ling time, cost and quality. For more information about WCUs construction management program, contact Bradford Sims at (828) 227-2175 or via e-mail at bsims@weu.edu. N.C. Biotech Grant Funds Summer DNA Workshop The N.C. Biotechnology Center has awarded a grant of nearly $18,000 to WCU for a summer workshop designed to give N.C. science teachers valuable hands-on experience in DNA sequencing that they can take back to their classrooms across the state. The intensive five-day workshop is set for June 21-25, and it is open to 20 teachers who will learn gene sequencing fundamentals before moving on to loads of hands-on practice, said Wes Bonds, an assistant professor of chemistry who is leading WCUs biotechnology efforts. Teachers will learn to pour sequencing gels, run the sequencing reactions, create their own strands of DNA for sequencing, run their own gels and interpret the results, said Bonds. We will look hard at how to fit the experiment into various classroom settings. They also will learn how to prepare samples for submission to DNA sequencing core facilities. Joining Bonds will be two of the nations top sequencing instructors who have worked with thousands of high school students and teachers. Sister Mary Jane Paolella, high school biology teacher at Sacred Heart Academy in Hamden, Conn., garnered national attention when she installed one of the first automated gene sequencers in a high school setting. Kristi Martinez, is director of the StarNet Program in the Department of Genome Sciences at the University of Washington, which is the oldest gene sequencing outreach activity for secondary students. Bonds, who spent 11 years working on the Humane Genome Project at Yale University School of Medicine before joining the faculty at WCU, travels frequently throughout North Carolina to lead high school students in sequencing a mutation of the human gene that has been linked to a predisposition to nicotine addiction. The high school outreach activities by Bonds and the June 21-25 workshop are part of WCUs on-going efforts to encourage interested students to consider possible post-secondary study and careers in the emerging fields of biotechnology and bioinformatics, which many experts have called the next wave in the world of science. This workshop is going to be intensive, Bonds said. We will work day and night. But what fun it is going to be. Just think of the opportunities these teachers are going to put into the hands of their students when they can teach them to take an unknown strand of DNA and determine its code. There are literally billions of unsequenced genes out there for kids to discover. For more information about biotechnology activities at WCU, contact Wes Bonds at (828) 227-3681. Teachers intersted in registering for the workshop at WCU or any of the North Carolina Biotechnology Centers summer programs should click on the Web at www.ncbiotech.org/ summerworkshops/ Students from WCU Carolina and Purdue Universitys construction management program were among the volunteers that worked on a Habitat for Humanity house in the Bristol Park subdivision in Lafayette, Ind. WCU and HCC Offer Fall Childhood Education Courses WCU and Haywood Community College will offer courses leading toward the bachelors degree in early childhood education this fall. An information session will be held Thursday, April 29, in the Haywood Community College auditorium at 6:30 P.M. Pre-registration is not required. Designed for adults who work full time, the program will include classroom instruction at Haywood Community College in Clyde and online courses. Students in the program will obtain bachelors degrees or licensure to serve children ages birth through five, with or without disabilities, and their families. Enrollment is open to students who hold an associate's degree in arts or science, or have earned 60 hours toward a two-year degree in early childhood education with a minimum of a 2.5 grade point average. Persons who hold a bachelors degree in another field may apply for admission in order to obtain teacher licensure. For more information, call the Division of Distance and Continuing Education toll free at (800) 928-4968, or contact Marcia Caserio, WCUs regional director of education outreach, at (828) 694-1829 or via e-mail at measerio@wcu.edu.
