Global Campus Students~ Reaching New Heights By Dr. Sharon Thompson The Great Wall, the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven — these are places we have heard about all of our lives. Graduate Counseling and Psychology students from Pensacola and Orlando, Fla., had the opportunity to visit these famous Chinese sites this summer as part of a joint study abroad program with the Troy Confucius Institute. Students toured Beijing and had the opportunity to interact with Chinese university students to get a glimpse of the counseling and psychology field in China. Students taught at Chinese middle schools and were involved in other academic and cultural exchange activities. In their time in China, students were preparing EFL (English as a Foreign Language) presentations on topics that were of interest to Chinese students. They used activity-oriented teaching methodologies, changing activities during their presentations every five to seven minutes. Many students included games, art activities, role-play, and drama in their presentations. These are all relatively new to Chinese educators who have traditionally used only rote learning. Students also looked forward to learning from Chinese students about family values, work ethic, and the now famous “Chinese Tiger Mom” style parenting phenomena, which has made such a sweeping impact upon American pop psychology. Drs. Sharon Thompson and Linda Vanderbleek, who accompanied the students, lectured at Hubei Normal University on Health, Wellness, and Stress Management. With the strong support of Dr. Carol Lewis, program coordinator of Counseling and Psychology, Global Campus, Southeast Region, TROY students had an unforgettable Chinese experience!

By Dr. Jonathan Taylor The Army Education Center (pictured) on the U.S. Army base at Fort Rucker later became the Dothan Campus for Troy University. In the year 1965, Troy University, known at the time as Troy State College, began offering courses in Montgomery, Ala., at Maxwell Air Force Base, home of The Air University—the intellectual and leadership center of the United States Air Force. What began as a few courses offered at a military base grew and developed into Troy State University Montgomery (TSUM), and then into the present day Montgomery Campus. The nature of this event was not singular for TROY, in fact it followed after a similar effort at Fort Rucker, a United States Army base located near Dothan, Ala., which later became the Dothan Campus. Through the years, Troy University has continued to develop and maintain a variety of programs in affiliation with, and support of, the U.S. military. TROY was an original “sweet 16” partner in the Navy College Distance Learning Partnership (NCDLP), and also partners in distance learning with the Army through GoArmyEd, and two of the Air Force’s specialized education initiatives – the General Education Mobility initiative (GEM), and the Air University Associate to Bachelor Co-operative (AU-ABC). One could infer any number of things about the University in light of these early efforts, not least among them is the innovative approach and broad vision that have been a part of TROY from the very beginning. One of the more meaningful reasons for revisiting these historical events, is to remind ourselves of the strong heritage we have as an academic institution; of being a military-friendly place of learning. Like all relationships, maturity brings change. The relationship between Troy University and Maxwell Air Force Base is no exception. As world events in recent years have increased the burden of nearly everyone, particularly those involved with our national security, it has become increasingly difficult to navigate the ever-increasing security policies, and ensure our students ease of access on the base. Because of this, and despite efforts on both sides to facilitate these needs as long as possible, it has become necessary to move our courses off the base, and fully onto the Montgomery Campus. In 1974, TROY’s first international sites were established in Europe in contract with the U.S. Air Force. 2008 Alabama Teacher Mentoring Program FEB ACCESS - Alabama Connecting Classrooms, Educators & Students Statewide SEP 2009 Revitalizing Civics, Government and Economics in Southeast Alabama Schools FEB Building Educational Partnerships JUN Child Mental Health Initiative OCT Ignite and Excite: AESP Support for the Wiregrass Math & Science Consortium OCT 10 www.troy.edu
