A Wooster native has been named acting dean of Ohio State University’s College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. Dr. Lonnie King’s stint begins Monday.
King, formerly dean of OSU’s College of Veterinary Medicine, will take the place of Ronald L. Hendrick, who is leaving in June. He accepted a position as dean at Michigan State University’s College of Agriculture and Natural Resources.
The dean position has been sort of up in the air as Bruce McPheron, the college’s dean, has been serving as interim provost for OSU. If he is named provost, then the university will look for a permanent dean. If not, then McPheron will likely return to his original position, unless OSU’s president has other designs.

He had served, for five years, as the country’s chief veterinarian.
“He is going to be a very good fit for the college,” Benfield said. And, with his Wooster roots, he is very familiar with OARDC and the Agricultural Technical Institute.
“He is an excellent fit for this interim dean position,” said Dr. Jeffrey LeJeune, head of the university’s Food Animal Health Research Program. In King, the college has someone who can hit the ground running because he has had a partial appointment to the College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences.
LeJeune likes that King is a proponent of the One Health Initiative, which takes an interdisciplinary approach to health. “We don’t work on people, animals and the environment individually,” LeJeune said. All of those categories affect and impact one another. It is a highly integrated approach.
“Dr. King will not let the momentum building in the college fade,” LeJeune said. “I think he will be great, whether he is here for three months or a year. I don’t know how they could have made a better

Mr. King was a phenomenal man, even as a boy, he was very articulate and smart for his age. He was the second child of King Sr. who died in 1984 and was a pastor, his mother, Alberta Williams King worked as a former schoolteacher. King Jr. was the middle child of older sister Christine and younger brother Alfred. He grew up in the city’s Sweet Auburn neighborhood, where there most prosperous and prominent African Americans were to come. King Jr. had attended segregated public schools and had been admitted at the age 15 to Morehouse College where he studied medicine and law.
King opens with his credentials. He first personally addresses the Clergymen saying, “My Dear Fellow Clergymen,” hitting the fact he shares the religious values as the Clergymen because he is a Man-of-God. Not only that but he is the president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, a large organization who values non-violent demonstration. King’s ethos is strengthened by the fact he represents Christians, African
“Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe”( Douglass). This famous quote epitomizes the philosophies of Frederick Douglass, in which he wanted everyone to be treated with dignity; if everyone was not treated with equality, no one person or property would be safe harm. His experience as a house slave, field slave and ship builder gave him the knowledge to develop into a persuasive speaker and abolitionist. In his narrative, he makes key arguments to white abolitionist and Christians on why slavery should be abolished. The key arguments that Frederick Douglass tries to vindicate are that slavery denies slaves of their identity, slavery is also detrimental for the slave owner, and slavery is ungodly.
There are many propositions on the 2016 election ballot to be voted on by the California people this year. I picked a proposition that I feel strongly about which is Proposition 56, that if passed will increase the tax on tobacco products.
On September 2, 2014, after three decades of waiting for their death row, Henry Lee McCollum, 50, and his half-brother, Leon Brown, 46, were declared innocent and ordered released with $750,000 in compensation from the state (Brothers Henry McCollum). After thirty years of isolation, the brothers are both mentally and physically affected. McCollum and Brown, who are now middle-aged men, have no education, job, or family, have to reorganize their lives in which they could have done 30 years ago. The two brothers, who were only scared, mentally challenged teenagers, while under pressure, confessed to committing a capital murder. Moreover, the question, whether race played a role in the two brothers’ sentence remain unjustified.
Sheridan is the interim dean at Ocean County College. She was a professor there and still teaches a class or two with her new position. She was originally from California, where she was born, raised, and educated. She moved to New Jersey in 2006 after meeting her husband. She has always had a passion for learning and a natural ability to teach, which has led her to where she is now and what she has accomplished.
When we were talking about vegetarianism the time right before Thanksgiving break many arguments were put forth for the idea. The one that stuck to me the most was the arguments made by Tom Regan. For the other arguments I thought about them but they did not have me think about what I eat. With Regan’s essay it was the first time I actually took the time and thought about what I eat and if it is immoral.
During the earlier times of America, many people had different opinions on the forming country, debating if it was free or not. It was called “the land of the free” and many other important documents backed up the argument. Yet, there are many concepts that go against that and really show what America was. A particular slave named Dred Scott, African-Americans, and new immigrants can all testify that America was not independent, but was in fact very restricting. Juries would go against previously made laws to make sure that what they wanted would always be insured. Multiple regulations would be formulated to be beneficial to the Americans. People that were not truly American were seen as property not people. Many were pushed around and harrased and it
The tone set by Dr. King in the part of the letter where he describes “pent-up resentments and latent frustrations,” and where he recognizes the “vital urge” being suppressed, is very passionate. His passion shines through loud and clear. The way Dr. King feels is, in fact, quite clear throughout the entire letter, yet the overriding sense of reason and logic that anyone can relate to is ever apparent. As he describes the unrest he finds in his community, the community as a whole really; he explains that he did not encourage them to “get rid of your [their] discontent” he instead encouraged them to, “make prayer pilgrimages to city hall;… go on freedom rides,… and try to understand why he [they] must do so”; these quotes from the letter point out the ways Dr....
King’s tone is calm but furious. He wants to get point passed, but he doesn’t want to be heisty. He doesn't want to start a fight for expressing how he feels. Dr.King is a very nice person, but when you go against what he believes, he has to ask you why. He’s very understanding of what you think about something and why.
I have had several friends who graduated from UNCW and they have all said great things about the college. I am a local to brunswick county and so I am very familiar with UNCW and it is very convenient for me to take classes here. I love the atmosphere at the college. I think that the college has such a great reputation for being a family and I would love to be a part of that. One of the major reasons I have decided to pursue this college is because I have had help with a million questions of mine since the first time I emailed Dr. Hengameh Kermani. She knew that I was not yet a student here but nevertheless she has not stopped helping me. She has given me many tips and links to where I can find the answers to my questions. Knowing that she is a busy lady but she has been taking the time to help me, makes me see that she truly cares about people and loves the program. I absolutely love dedicated teachers like her, which is the reason why I have chosen this profession and major. I want to be an inspiration and role model to student's and I know that if I attended UNCW, I would learn how to do so from the wonderful professors all around the
King entered Morehouse College at the age of 15 and graduated four years later. 4 He was the third generation to attend this academic institution. At first he planned to major in medicine or law, but by his senior year, he changed to theology.5 King himself was not one to follow in the footsteps of his father, grandfather or mother, and was influenced by Dr. Benjamin Mays, President of Morehouse College, to become an “advocate for racial ...
Would be happy he got the job but could become discouraged if students don’t want to take his class.
Do inanimate technologies think? Do they genuinely have a consciousness and real knowledge or are they simply machines? Are they made up of just algorithms and math medical equations? This is the argument many philosophers and scientists have been arguing over for years. John Searle, who is a professor at University of California, Berkeley, believes that not just Watson, but all higher-level information holding technologies do not have an active consciousness. They are only products of the human brain’s ideas and programs. Even though many esteemed mechanisms may demonstrate extraordinary knowledge even beyond human recognition, I agree with Searle. Computers do not have original thought. They are the result of high cognitive thinking
