<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Dear Alumni and Friends,<br />It’s been an eventful year in the <a href="https://umdearborn.edu/cehhs" target="_blank">College of Education, Health, and Human Services</a> (CEHHS) and our students, staff, and faculty have accomplished much.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I continue to be impressed with the CEHHS students annually selected as <a href="http://www.michigandifferencemakers.com/" target="_blank">UM-Dearborn Difference Makers</a>. These six students are at the forefront of their fields, improving the lives of others and making an impact here in our local communities. Nominated by faculty and staff, these individuals are not just outstanding students and recent alumni, they embody academic and professional achievement, integrity and leadership. Congratulations to this deserving group of students.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A few weeks ago, <a href="http://cehhs-updates.blogspot.com/2017/05/cehhs-faculty-and-students-help-improve.html" target="_blank">CEHHS faculty and students joined with volunteers from the local community to begin the installation of the Alayna Elabed Brighter Neinas Community Park</a> at Neinas Elementary School in Detroit. The installation of the park is one success in a five-year collaboration, led by Associate Professor Christopher Burke, PhD, between students and teachers at this Detroit Public School and pre-service teachers at UM-Dearborn.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In March we <a href="http://cehhs-updates.blogspot.com/2017/03/cehhs-welcomes-new-chair-of-health-and.html" target="_blank">welcomed Patricia Wren, PhD, as chair of the Health and Human Services department</a>. Her expertise in the design of public health interventions and the measurement of important outcomes including satisfaction and optimism, health decision-making, functional status, and quality of life will be integral to the continued growth of our health curriculum.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I am motivated by the great progress we are making in CEHHS with new academic programs and innovative initiatives to meet the needs of our students while we continue our work to positively impact our metropolitan region.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />Janine E.

My desire to pursue an education was something I desired to achieve", said Gay.<br /><br />She chose Health Policy studies as her major because her father experienced many health challenges and "I wanted to know what policies were in place so he could receive the best possible care", she said. "I chose UM-Dearborn, because I would receive a quality education while enhancing my employment opportunities."<br /><br />Gay was a very active student leader.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">ANN ARBOR, MI - With a team of national partners, UM-Dearborn CEHHS Assistant Professor, Dr. Natalie Sampson, and CASL Assistant Professor, Dr. Carmel Price, were awarded with an eight-month Catalyst Grant from the U-M Graham Institute to fund their sustainability-related project "Climate changes health: ensuring environmental justice underlies public health's climate change work"<br /><br />Dr. Sampson is the principal investigator of this interdisciplinary project that also includes experts from other universities and colleges, tribal agencies and non-governmental organizations.<br /><br />This project will convene a summit preceding the 2017 American Public Health Association (APHA) Annual Meeting and draft a subsequent white paper. The event will bring together environmental justice leaders and professionals from multiple disciplines, academic institutions, and professional organizations. The approach is designed so that public health leaders can learn from leaders in frontline communities to better address climate-related health disparities in collaboration. The project also aims to increase the participation of historically underrepresented students.<br /><br />“I have confidence that this will be a productive process. The team doing this work includes many new and longtime nationally renowned environmental justice activists and scholars. We hope to synthesize takeaways and resources, as well as compel new community and academic partnerships.”, said Dr. Sampson<br /><br />For the Catalyst Grants, six proposals were submitted, involving 18 faculty members/researchers from eight units.<br /><br />"We're very pleased to have received so many high-quality proposals from talented faculty across campus. Important sustainability work is taking place throughout the university, and we're happy to support it," said Drew Horning, the Graham Institute's interim director.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Dr. Brunvand and Dr. Hill have been using <a href="https://www.gradecraft.com/" target="_blank">GradeCraft</a> in their undergraduate courses since the 2015 winter semester to create gameful learning experiences for their students. GradeCraft is a gamified learning management system (LMS) that was created on the Ann Arbor campus. <br /><br />In a gamified course, students have the freedom to choose what assignments they will complete in order to earn the points they need to “level up” to the overall grade they want. This is much like a video game environment where players earn points in order to move through the different levels of the game. In addition, in a gamified course there are locks/unlocks with different assignments and tasks that students need to complete in order to access more difficult assignments. This is also similar to a video game that requires the player to find hidden treasure, secret keys and other items in order to unlock other challenges and levels. <br /><br />The use of gamified learning has increased within the educational community over the last decade in an attempt to enhance student learning in multiple ways. <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

In particular, researchers have started to examine gamified learning and the potential impact on student motivation and engagement within educational settings. However, few studies have examined the relationship between specific tools embedded within a LMS and student outcomes at the postsecondary level.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The purpose of this study conducted by Dr. Brunvand and Dr. Hill was to investigate the impact of a grade predictor tool embedded within GradeCraft on 75 college students’ ability to accurately predict their final grades.

For example, they are working with staff to implement an RTI program (</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Response to Intervention)</span> within the schools that will help identify at risk students before waiting for them to fail.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />Looking to the future, Rachel would like to work with the school administration in order to implement a PBIS program (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports).

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />“We want to see our students grow up to be world changers, and I believe they will be as long as they have access to education. After all, people only know what they are taught!”, Rachel said.</span></div>
