Composer and pianist Alan Chan's music often takes inspiration from his life experiences around the world, with a take of surprising wittiness and humor. Coming from a classical background, he began composing for jazz big band under the mentorship of Gary Lindsay in Miami, then Vince Mendoza and Shelly Berg in Los Angeles, and Jim McNeely who fanned his flame of desire to create works for jazz ensembles.As an educator, Alan directed the El Camino College Concert Jazz Band and the Jazz program for five years. He presented more than 20 concerts in the community, and conducted over 120 big band compositions from across jazz style periods. His work as an Adjunct Professor and Coordinator of the ECC Jazz Festival has earned him Achievement Award for Distinguished Teaching and Student Learning in December 2017 from Academic Senate.He was also a guest artist and clinician at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts (HKAPA), Hong Kong Jazz Summer 2016, and a judge of international/national competitions such as Percussive Arts Society Composition Contests, SCI/ASCAP Student Composition Awards and ASMAC Bill Conti Big Band Arranging & Composing Competition. He is a voting member of the Recording Academy.For more than a decade, he has been focused on creating unique music for his 17-piece Alan Chan Jazz Orchestra (ACJO), which is comprised of top studio/jazz musicians in Los Angeles. Their debut "Shrimp Tale" album was released in 2014, which received rave reviews and radio plays across the U.S. ACJO appears in Los Angeles venues such as the Baked Potato, Vibrato Grill Jazz, the Huntington, Vitello's, Catalina Jazz Club, Westin Bonaventure Hotel and the Jonathan Club. His band also presented concerts at the Brooklyn Public Library, Stone NYC and ShapeShifter Lab in New York City.In recent years, Alan Chan began to collaborate with Chinese instrumentalists to explore the possibility of merging jazz, improvisation and traditional Chinese vibes into a dramatic and innovative form. ACJO's new project “Moon Walk,” with pipa (Chinese lute) virtuoso Min Xiao-Fen (New York City), was premiered in Los Angeles in August 2018 and subsequently on the East Coast in Brooklyn Central Library in New York City in February 2019. "Moon Walk" was selected to be featured at the Jazz Education Network Annual Conference in Orlando in January 2023.Professional groups that have presented his works have included Grammy-nominated Brussels Jazz Orchestra, Millennium Jazz Orchestra (the Netherlands), Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra, Taipei Percussion, Taipei City Chinese Orchestra, Symphonic Jazz Orchestra (Los Angeles) and La Jolla Symphony.Website: alanchanjazzorchestra.comInstagram: @alanchanmusic__________________SGV Master Key Podcast:www.sgvmasterkey.cominfo@sgvmasterkey.com

Wondering if Dental School is for you? [Show Summary] Dr. Barry Rothman shares everything students should know about the dental school application process drawing on his knowledge as an Accepted Admissions Consultant and former Health Professions Advisor and Director of SFSU's Pre-Health Profession Certificate Program. Interview with Barry Rothman, Dental School admissions expert [Show Notes] Welcome to the 464th episode of Admissions Straight Talk. Thanks for tuning in. The challenge at the heart of admissions is showing that you both fit in at your target schools, and stand out in the applicant pool. Accepted's free download Fitting in and Standing Out: The Paradox at the Heart of Admissions will show you how to do both. Master this paradox, and you are well on your way to acceptance. You can download this free guide and accepted.com/fiso.  Our guest today, Dr. Barry Rothman, is the former Health Professions Advisor and Director of San Francisco State University's Pre-Health Profession Certificate Program, which served pre-med, pre-dental, pre-nursing, and other pre-healthcare students who are preparing themselves to apply to their graduate professional schools of choice. Since 2015, Dr. Rothman has helped Accepted's clients in all aspects of the application process to graduate healthcare programs and graduate schools and life sciences, including of course dental school, which is the subject of today's podcast. How did you get involved in dental school admissions? [2:17] I think around 1995, I was asked by my university to be the Health Professions Advisor. This was something I had never even thought about. I had been teaching in the Biology Department for nine years at that point. I taught Molecular Medicine and I was interested in Physiology. I had a number of pre-meds and pre-dents in my classes, and I was kind of interested so I figured I'd give it a try. What I discovered was that there was a huge need at my university, and probably in many universities, to have a Health Professions Advisor who could relate to the students and really give them service. I decided to take it on, and I fell in love with it. I fell in love with being the Health Professions Advisor for all sorts of health professions, including dentistry. Also, I had had some contact with the UCSF Dental Post Bac Program, which was doing well at UCSF, and because I was the Health Professions Advisor at SF State, and UCSF is two miles down the road, we put our forces together and I joined them. I got to learn how they ran their post-bacc program. Then I took my own ideas about having programs that were extremely supportive of students, and had lots of mutual support, and not competitive, a nurturing environment, and decided after a year or two delay to create my own post-bacc program at San Francisco State, starting with a sort of multipurpose pre-health program mainly for pre-meds and some pre-dents. The students at SF State actually asked me to create this program. At that time, pre-meds were allowed to be Second Baccalaureates in the whole CSU system, but they weren't given much in the way of service. It was more like, "Okay, you can take classes, but don't expect anything." They were willing to pay more money for a post-bacc program in order to get more service. Over a period of a year, the Dean, the Academic Senate, and I put our heads together and created the program. It was a win/win situation. It made me happy. I continued running the post-bacc program, and actually expanded it into dental and into nursing over the next nine years. What are the prerequisites for applying to dental school? [5:24] They're very much like the medical school prerequisites, with some exceptions. You need a year of Intro to Bio with Lecture and Lab, a year of General Chemistry with Lecture and Lab, a year of Organic Chemistry with Lecture and Lab, and a year of Physics with Lecture and Lab.  Unlike medical school,

Mascots and symbols have long been used as a source of pride within sports. This can be problematic and stir up issues when a symbol used may be offensive. We have seen this at all levels, from high school and college, all the way to the pros. In relation to Cal State East Bay, the “Pioneer” remains a symbol of the school, yet the visual representation was removed after a recent initiative was put into play. This led to the investigation of the symbol's origins and the conclusion that “Pioneer Pete'' did not promote inclusivity. The “Pioneer”, symbolic of Manifest Destiny, also continues to reinforce native people's displacement and also industrialist/ genocidal impulses. Because sport is powerful in bringing together a community, compassion and understanding alongside the deconstruction of personal beliefs is key to tackling mascot issues. Resources: The Faculty Diversity and Equity Committee discussed East Bay's mascot at & voted to send the attached resolution to the Senate https://www.csueastbay.edu/universitycommunications/files/docs/mascot/faculty-senate-resolution-mascot.pdf On May 10th, 2018, CSU East Bay's Faculty Diversity and Equity Committee (FDEC) passed a resolution to retire the current image of Pioneer Pete. Afterward this resolution headed to CSUEB's Academic Senate and on October 6 the senators voted to remove Pioneer Pete as the mascot: https://www.csueastbay.edu/universitycommunications/mascot/history-of-pioneer-pete.html#:~:text=On%20May%2010th%2C%202018%2C%20CSU,Pioneer%20Pete%20as%20the%20mascot.

UC Santa Barbara students and faculty returned to in-person learning for the first time this year on Monday, January 31. Members of the UC Santa Barbara Faculty Association (SBFA), an independent faculty advocacy organization comprised of Academic Senate members, have vocalized concerns with transparency and flexibility in regards to the return. On Jan. 25, SBFA published an open letter outlining concerns over lingering dangers and inadequate classroom equipment and technological support to do their jobs safely and effectively. The letter calls for “caution and clarifications on policy, and nuanced flexibility on pandemic protocols.” KCSB's Ashley Rusch speaks with SBFA Co-Chairs Ben Olguin and Eileen Boris and Treasurer Harold Marcuse to learn more faculty concerns and experiences. More information about SBFA can be found at ucsbfa.org/sbfa-covid-protcols-open-letter/

More About Professor Goldberg: Bob Goldberg is a plant molecular biologist who specializes in the area of plant genomics. The goal of his research has been to understand how plant cells differentiate and how genes are activated selectively in specialized cell types during plant development. Professor Goldberg's research has provided a conceptual foundation for the processes that regulate gene expression in higher plants. In collaboration with others, he utilized genes identified in his laboratory to develop a novel system to genetically engineer for male fertility control in crop plants. This system was used to develop new hybrid varieties of canola plants that have significantly increased yields of oil. His current research is using state-of-the-art genomics technologies to identify all of the genes required to “make a seed.” Professor Goldberg received a B.S. in Botany at Ohio University, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Plant Genetics from The University of Arizona. Professor Goldberg was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the California Institute of Technology and joined the UCLA faculty in 1976. Professor Goldberg served twice as Director of the Plant Genetics Program at the USDA, has been on the Editorial Boards of many internationally recognized journals such as Science, and was the Founding Editor and Editor-In-Chief of The Plant Cell, the leading journal in the area of plant molecular biology. He has been the organizer of many major international plant molecular biology meetings, is the Director of The Seed Institute –- an intercampus “institute without walls” within the University of California dedicated to unraveling the processes that control seed development. Professor Goldberg has given hundreds of lectures on his research world-wide, and has received several awards recognizing his contributions to the field of plant molecular biology. These include election to the National Academy of Sciences, the National Order for Scientific Merit from the President of Brazil, being named as a UCLA Faculty Research Lecturer, and being listed as making one of the "top 15" Discoveries in UCLA's 75-year history. Professor Goldberg is highly committed to undergraduate and graduate education and is an "expert" in making science "come alive." Professor Goldberg has received Distinguished Teaching Awards from the Department of Biology and the Department of Molecular, Cell, and Developmental Biology, and was awarded the Luckmann Distinguished Teaching Award from the Academic Senate. He has also been awarded the Gold Shield Prize for Excellence in Research and Undergraduate Education by the Academic Senate and was named as one of the "top 20" Professors in UCLA's 75-year history.

Understanding postbac programs, and how they can help YOU apply to medical school successfully [Show summary] Accepted consultant Dr. Barry Rothman offers an overview of postbac programs to help prospective med school applicants discern if the postbac experience is the next best step for them, along with tips for postbac applicants. How postbac programs help applicants apply at their best [Show notes] Are you applying to medical school but concerned about your undergraduate record? Or, did the medical bug bite you when it was too late to take the med school prerequisites? Then you either are or should be considering a postbac program. Our guest today is Dr. Barry Rothman, Accepted consultant. Dr. Rothman has been on the show several times. The first time was way back in 2013, before he joined Accepted. At the time, he was serving at San Francisco State University as a professor of biology, director of postbac programs, director of the SFSU health professionals advising committee, director of the pre-health professions certificate program, and director of the SFSU/University of Pacific Dental postbac program. He has since left SFSU and is now a much-loved consultant at Accepted. How and when did you get involved in postbac programs? [2:11] Around 2005. I was a professor at San Francisco State, and my Dean approached me and said, "We need a new health professions advisor." I thought, “I like working with students and I'm interested in molecular medicine. This sounds good. I get three units of release time, and it should be easy.” Well, it was a lot more work, and I loved it. I really fell in love with the area and especially the students, working with them closely, helping them find their way into the health profession. At the time, there was an informal postbac program that all the CSU campuses had, but there were no services. You could just take classes with undergrads. What services did you feel were lacking? [3:03] Mostly advising, letter writing. There was no organization. It was just free-floating. The postbacs who came to SF State could take classes, but that was it. Nobody took care of them. A group of them approached me and said, "We would be willing to pay extra money if we could get some advising." I said, "Okay, let's put our heads together." We wrote up a proposal, and my dean got on board. I had to take it to our Academic Senate, which was a learning experience in itself, having to learn how to navigate the political waters at San Francisco State, which are pretty calm, not turbulent, but still, I had to learn how to present my program to the Academic Senate and convince them that this was a good thing to do. It turned out great. Amazingly, it was in black ink from the very beginning. I'm not directing the program anymore, but now the program’s into its 14th or 15th cohort. It's been quite successful. It was formulated on the idea of cooperation, although many health professions situations can have a competitive component to them. We really wanted to select people who wanted to be team players, and that has been very successful. A lot of folks don't want to be in a heavy competitive situation and want to be in a situation where people pull together and support each other. Let's dive into the different kinds of postbac programs that exist, focusing on MD and DO postbac programs. Can you give us an overview? [4:34] The two main divisions are career changer and academic enhancer. A career changer is somebody who hasn't taken any, or perhaps one or two, of the prerequisites for medical school. They are, in essence, changing their career from whatever they were doing before to a medical track. An academic enhancer is somebody who has completed most or all of the medical school pre-reqs, and probably some electives, but hasn't done as well as they wanted to do to be. They need to enhance their academic record by taking additional, usually upper-division biology electives.

Rochester Institute of Technology has an extensive safety plan ready for the start of the fall semester on Aug. 19. It includes the usual steps -- reducing the number of people on campus, regular cleaning and disinfection, contact tracing -- as well as perhaps less expected measures like regularly testing the wastewater from student residence halls and apartments for signs of the novel coronavirus. Philosophy professor Tim Engstrom acknowledged that the university has done an enormous amount of work to ready the campus, but he's still worried. "I think the big anxiety is that this is all dependent upon managing behaviors -- student behaviors while on campus, while off campus, that really aren't entirely manageable," he said. Engstrom, who is vice chair of RIT's Academic Senate, said he and his colleagues know that COVID-19 will be on campus. The question is to what extent. "This is not a fascist state and we're not recommending it become one," he said, "but one of the challenges is

This week we are joined by Professor Michael Meranze, UCLA History Professor and Chair of UCLA's Academic Senate. The Academic Senate is a body of faculty members who share in the governance of the UCLA. Professor Meranze discusses the history of shared governance, the university's past and current responses to crises, and the lessons that can be learned from the Great Depression and New Deal.

Part One- Dr. Ed Kawakami, chair of the Academic Senate at Carthage College, talks about how the faculty wrestled with the question of what to do about grading during the COVID-19 Crisis. Should letter grades still be given? Should the school switch to pass/fail? Should a mix of options be offered? Part Two- Jolene Hart, author of "Ignite Your Light," offers some suggestions on how people can remain happy and mentally healthy during the COVID-19 Crisis.

An issue that kept coming back into the higher educator sector this year was the Ramsay Centre’s Western Civilisation degree and its attendant negotiations with the University of Wollongong, the University of Sydney and the University of Queensland. To date, only the University of Wollongong has committed to the western civilisation program, with the Ramsay Centre walking away from a negotiated deal with the University of Sydney recently. The Ramsay degree also failed to attract enough interest at UQ. In some ways, the western civilisation degree was played out as a sort of culture war between the left and right and members of the Academic Senate at the University of Wollongong initiated litigation before withdrawing it after considering the costs involved. Another important story this year originated from ABC TV’s Four Corners Program. In an episode called ‘Cash Cows’ allegations were made that some Australian universities were waiving important English requirement tests for international students who did not have the requisite IT skills to study a Master of IT, for instance. A coterie of academics, frustrated by what they believed was a clear case of putting profit before quality, blew the whistle on the issues occurring at Murdoch and one academic in particular has faced serious repercussions, . These issues and more are revisited in our year in review and I look forward to bringing you the stories that matter to you next year. Wade Zaglas, Education Editor for Campus Review.
