As part of Earth Week on Stetson University’s DeLand campus, the university community will join 250 other universities across the country to screen a new documentary about our energy future. Switch will be shown at 7 p.m., Wednesday, April 17, in the Rinker Auditorium, inside Lynn Business Center, 345 N. Woodland Blvd. The Stetson campus screening is co-sponsored by the Gillespie Museum of Minerals, the Department of Geography and Environmental Science and Students Advocating Sustainability at Stetson.

The documentary is part of the Geological Society of America’s Switch Energy: Awareness & Efficiency Program, (http://www.switchenergyproject.com/), a multi-pronged effort to build a global understanding of energy.

Switch explores leading energy sites, from coal to solar, oil to biofuel, most of them highly restricted and never before seen on film. Through interviews with international leaders of government, industry and academia, geologist Scott Tinker engages important questions about energy: Is fracking polluting water? How dangerous is nuclear? Will we run out of oil? Can we clean up coal? Will renewables power our future?

The documentary has won a number of awards, for its even-handed treatment of the topic as well as its production values. An informal discussion of the documentary will follow the screening, led by Stetson professors Tony Abbott, geography and environmental science; Tandy Grubbs, chemistry; Jim Buthman, visiting lecturer in political science; and Bekah Burket, representing Students Advocating Sustainability at Stetson.

This event is free and open to the community. For additional information, call or e-mail the Gillespie Museum (386.822.7330; gillespiemuseum@stetson.edu).

“As an institution that fosters efforts around Social Justice, we have an obligation to create platforms where disadvantaged people can speak up and share their voice around issues that are muted in our communities,” said Yolany Gonell, assistant director of Intercultural Initiatives. “It’s important to note that all panelists live here in Florida. The issues that they have faced, the issues that transgender youth continue to face are very real. As an advocate, I believe it is important for all university campuses to recognize the need to create safe and inclusive spaces for all students. This is one way we are providing for that at Stetson University.”

Michael Rickman, Steinway Artist and professor of piano, will celebrate his 30th anniversary at Stetson University at his celebratory recital Sunday, April 7, 3 p.m., in Lee Chapel.

Hailed by the New York Times, Daytona Beach News-Journal and newspapers around the globe for his brilliance on the piano, Dr. Michael Rickman, Steinway Artist and Professor of Piano, will celebrate 30 years teaching at Stetson University with a much anticipated recital on Sunday, April 7, at 3 p.m.

Upon entering his studio in Presser Hall at Stetson, one might feel slightly intimidated by the two grand pianos that sit side by side or the numerous diplomas and accolades that grace the walls. Instead you will find the presence of a worldly, knowledgeable man who is personable, well studied and a master of his instrument.

With roots in Asheville, N.C., he completed his degrees at Mars Hill College and the University of North Texas. The many influential teachers of his profession, of whom he speaks so highly, included the late Grace Potter Carroll, Richard Cass, Jack Roberts, and Karen Shaw.

Before beginning his current post at Stetson University in 1983, he served on the faculty of William Woods and Westminster Colleges in Fulton, Mo., and at Southeastern Louisiana University in Hammond. It was at the suggestion of colleagues, Dr. and Mrs. Rich, who felt Rickman could make a substantial contribution to this private, central Florida university that he, with some trepidation, applied for the position at Stetson. It was during the interview phase, when he witnessed the level of student achievement and the professionalism of his future colleagues, that his decision came with ease.

Over the years, Rickman’s contributions to not only the University but also to his profession, have been more than substantial. In 1990 he received the Homer and Dolly Hand Award for Creative Activity and Research and, in 1995, was the recipient of the most prestigious faculty award granted by Stetson University, the William Hugh McEniry Award for Excellence in Teaching. One of his most significant achievements came in 2009 when Rickman was named to the prestigious roster of Steinway artists, consisting of approximately only 1600 pianists worldwide.

With international performances in Latvia, Chile, Bolivia, Italy, Germany, Austria, Toronto, London, and Paris as well as in Miami, Palm Beach, Philadelphia, Louisville, Kansas City, Sacramento and at the Alice Tully, Bruno Walter and Carnegie Halls in New York, Rickman’s performances have received exceptional praise from audiences and the media worldwide. Rickman and his students have impressed audiences for the past seven years at the Orfeo (formerly Schlern) International Music Festival in Northern Italy.

As he approaches the milestone of teaching 30 years at Stetson, he is grateful for the many students whom he has seen excel and who have themselves created magnificent careers. His face lights up when he speaks about teaching Master Classes during which students and the general public witness Rickman’s teaching of other students. His passion for the piano, for music making and for the continued success of his beloved students is obvious.

With thoughts to the future, Rickman’s greatest desire is to see a first-class performing arts center on campus. He looks to the skills of the new dean of the School of Music to help develop this dream and envisions a time when students, alumni and members of the community will enjoy outstanding music in this new center.

As he approaches his milestone recital on Sunday, April 7, he is excited about the works he chose to include, which took great consideration. Rickman’s Faculty Recital, featuring his celebrated skills on the piano, will take place in Lee Chapel inside Elizabeth Hall at 3 p.m. on Stetson’s DeLand campus, 421 N. Woodland Blvd.

Tickets are free to the Stetson University community with ID, and concert series card holders. For more information, contact the School of Music at www.stetson.edu/music, or call the Ticket Office at (386) 822-8950.

Click here to enjoy the Schubert posthumous Sonata in A Major, one of the works Rickman plans to perform at his celebratory recital April 7. Rickman was also interviewed live on WSBB Radio on Tuesday, April 2, AM 1230 and AM 1490.

Stetson Law teams shown here with the competition judges at the Indiana Supreme Court. Photo by Brooke Bowman.

Stetson University College of Law students won the National Professional Responsibility Moot Court Competition in Indianapolis, Ind. Stetson students also won all six of the possible awards, sweeping the competition.

Two teams of Stetson students beat teams from around the country to compete against each other in the final round, presented at the Indiana Supreme Court. The Stetson team of Kevin Crews, Erin Okuno and Morgan Vasigh won the final round, competing against the Stetson team of Adriana Corso, Erin Dolan and Michelle Reilly.

Stetson students Corso, Dolan and Reilly won the Best Petitioner Brief Award. Crews, Okuno and Vasigh won the Best Respondent Brief Award. Okuno was also named Best Oralist in both the preliminary and final rounds.

This is the second year in a row in which a Stetson team has won top awards at this competition. Last year, the Stetson team won the Best Oralist Overall, the Best Respondent Brief, as well as the entire competition.

“At Stetson, we focus on preparing and developing the whole advocate, and our students were remarkably prepared, thanks to the assistance of numerous attorneys and alumni who came to judge the teams’ practices,” said Stetson’s moot court adviser and professor Brooke Bowman. “The judges recognized that the Stetson students were the best advocates—in writing and orally—at this competition. These judges also commented on the students’ impressive level of professionalism.”

Stetson professors Bowman and Roberta Flowers coached the Stetson teams.

DuPont-Ball Library is celebrating 125 years as a federal depository library. Originally, Stetson University’s library was on the second floor of DeLand Hall.

On April 5, Stetson University’s duPont-Ball Library will hold a reception from 3-5 p.m. on the main floor of the library to celebrate its 125 anniversary as a federal depository library. Everyone in the Stetson community is welcome to attend the celebration which will include refreshments, displays and a brief program including a presentation from the city of DeLand. DuPont- Ball Library is the oldest federal depository library in Florida opening in 1887.

Guest speakers include Mary Alice Baish, assistant public printer and superintendent of documents for the Government Printing Office in Washington, D.C., and DeLand Mayor Bob Apgar. Both guest speakers will make brief remarks and a special presentation to the library. In addition to the speakers, there will be displays about the history of the federal depository library at Stetson, including unusual or historically significant government documents. Other federal depository libraries in Florida will be represented.

The Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) was established by the United States Congress to ensure the American public has access to government information. A federal depository library holds federal government documents and is able to make  federal government publications available to the public without cost. Usually the publications are received through shipments of print and microfiche documents from the GPO. In recent years, ever-increasing numbers of these documents have been released in electronic and digital format.

In 1909, the library collection moved to Carnegie Library Building now known as Sampson Hall.

DuPont-Ball library is considered to be a “selective depository” which means it has chosen to receive only a subset of what the GPO offers. It holds about 23 percent of what is available to depository libraries. Most of the materials received by the library through the depository program are carefully selected to support the curricular and research needs of Stetson students and faculty. Currently, there are approximately 350,000 government documents in the library’s collection, and thousands more government publications available electronically through the library’s online catalog.

“There are economic benefits to participating in the program,” said Barbara Costello, government documents and research librarian for duPont-Ball Library. “It allows Stetson access to resources that the library might not have been able to afford to purchase.”

The Stetson library started in 1887 as a small book collection of 1,200 to 1,300 volumes on the second floor of the east wing of DeLand Hall. In 1889, the library officially became known as Sampson Library in honor of C.T. Sampson who contributed to purchasing the books in the library. In 1892, the library’s collection moved to the first floor of Elizabeth Hall, and in 1909, the collection moved into the Carnegie Library Building now known as Sampson Hall. The Carnegie Library Building was funded by the Andrew Carnegie Foundation and the collection jumped from 4,000 to 15,000 volumes. The duPont-Ball Library, named after a Stetson trustee Jessie Ball DuPont, opened in May 1964.

For additional information, contact Barbara Costello, at bcostell@stetson.edu or 386-822-7185. You can read a comprehensive history of Stetson’s library online.
