Tenure for 10 Canisius Professors
Canisius' 10 newly tenured professors attended a reception at the Bouwhuis Library in their honor.
The Bouwhuis Library was the setting on September 6 for a celebratory reception that applauded the college's 10 newly tenured professors. Hosted by the library and information services, the ceremony marked the first annual event to formally recognize such faculty promotions. Among those professors granted tenure: Dr. Robert J. Grebenok, biology; Dr. E. Christine Moll, counselor education; Dr. Sara R. Morris, biology; Dr. John Occhipinti, political science; Dr. Mary C. O'Sullivan; chemistry/biochemistry; Dr. Mary E. Shea, education; Dr. Melissa B. Wanzer, communication studies; Dr. George Wenner, teacher education; Dr. Anthony R. Weston, mathematics/statistics; and Dr. Ann W. Wright, biology.
To signify their achievement, the library will add 10 new books to its main collection. Each book was selected by a newly tenured professor and includes a personal dedication on the inside cover. The books and a reproduction of the dedications will remain on display in the library for one month before being added to the shelves.

Dinan on Case Teaching & Team Learning
Case teaching and team learning are the focus of a September 2002 article published by Dr. Frank J. Dinan, professor of chemistry, in the Journal of College Science Teaching. Dinan's article, entitled "Chemistry by the Case," describes the structure and content of a one-semester course for non-science majors that engages, instructs and challenges students through a hybrid of two "active learning" methodologies: problem-based team learning and case studies.
