While this logistical necessity may be viewed, understandably, with certain sadness by some who see it as the end of an era, it needn’t be viewed that way. Many of the graduate programs at the Montgomery Campus have a steady flow of Airmen (the USAF’s official term for both men and women of any rank—officer or enlisted—and USAF civilians) enrolled in their classes. This is particularly true in the Adult Education program. The service men and women stationed at Maxwell, often for no more than three years, continue to be vital to the life and vibrancy of our Master of Science in Adult Education (MSADE) program. Our relationship with the base is thriving in many ways in addition to the involvement of these students in our program, and some of our adjunct faculty work in a full-time capacity at the base as well. Most recently, I have been working with officials at the Squadron Officer School (SOS), a Professional Military Education course for junior officers held by the Squadron Officer College (SOC) of The Air University, to conduct research and scholarship. During the past year, and continuing in the present, the officials there have been extremely open and helpful in assisting me as I advance my own workplace learning scholarship (learning resistance and conceptual change) as well as, hopefully, assisting the SOS to continue to be innovative as they serve their own students. This relationship is still somewhat new but, again, not a singular event as there have been others before me to do the same. While the focus here has been a Montgomery campus and a Montgomery military base, the relationships represented are indicative of a larger, even more meaningful heritage. Troy University is presently involved, in one capacity or another, with 31 military bases around the world. Like all relationships there is responsibility for all those involved. Ours is to remember, as times continue to change and our great university continues to mature, that those in the military, in addition to being defenders of our freedom, heroes, and loyal servants, are also lifelong learners, and we will always welcome them to the mighty walls of TROY.

Students and Faculty Present Research at the 10 th Annual Troy University Psychology Conference By Dr. Mary Ann Hooten The Annual Troy University Psychology Conference continues to grow and, in its tenth year, attracted more participants than ever. The Psychology Conference started on the Troy, Ala., campus in the 2002-2003 academic year as an opportunity for undergraduate students in psychology to present original research that was conducted as part of their Experimental Psychology course. Since that time, the conference has expanded to include presentations by undergraduate and graduate students in psychology, counseling, and related disciplines, as well as faculty research. The participants in the conference came from several regional universities and many of the Troy University campuses. Over 200 people attended the 10 th Annual Troy University Psychology Conference held in April, 2012. This year’s conference featured 35 paper presentations and 51 poster presentations on a variety of topics related to the field of psychology. In addition to the paper and poster presentations, undergraduates get the chance to compete in a “Psychology Jeopardy” quiz contest to test their knowledge of the subject matter. Prizes are awarded for the best undergraduate papers and posters, and the Jeopardy winner. The key note speaker this year was Mr. Jeremy Rakes, who is a substance abuse counselor with Bradford Health Services in Warrior, Ala. His presentation addressed the rewards and challenges associated with working in the field of addiction treatment. He also provided career advice for students who might be interested in pursuing a career in substance abuse counseling. Mandy Colburn, Psychology Undergraduate Student, Troy Campus. In addition to Mr. Rakes, the conference also featured a special guest speaker, Dr. Roberto Rodriguez from the Universidad de Iberoamerica in Costa Rica. Dr. Rodriguez presented information about an exciting opportunity for psychology and counseling students to study abroad in Costa Rico in May 2013. For more information about this study abroad opportunity, contact Dr. Gina Mariano at gjmariano@troy.edu. Overall, the Troy University Psychology Conference continues to gain popularity and participation. According to Dr. Frank Hammonds, Associate Professor in the Department of Counseling and Psychology and Co-Chair of the conference, “The main goal of the conference is to promote student research. This was our biggest conference yet. We had many excellent presentations and posters.” For information about the 2013 conference or to submit a proposal, please visit the conference website at www.troy. edu and search for Psychology Conference. 2010 eLearning for Educators and Education Technology OCT A Multi-Campus Approach to Rehabilitation Counseling Education OCT 2011 Summer of Innovation JUN Summer Spectacular & Girls Inc.
