Expressions of Place: an interdisciplinary and interactive community event se...nacis_slides
NACIS 2016 Presentation
Diana K.B. Hoover, University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point
In the heart of Wisconsin, where the Menomonie people have lived for many thousands of years, in a small city that houses a medium-sized liberal arts university, some generous and visionary individuals, organizations, and corporations join forces to celebrate culture and reinvigorate community. Fueled by entrepreneurial spirit and passion for the arts, many of the creative collaborations bring together individuals representing diverse perspectives. One of these undertakings is the upcoming event series, Expressions of Place sponsored by the College of Fine Arts and Communication at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. During this talk I will present the genesis for this project, the variety of arts and geography mash-ups in the program, some obstacles encountered as well as discoveries made while organizing this compendium on mapping, sensing, living and expressing Place.
This letter was sent to the Somerville Library Director in February, 2010, in order to inform her regarding the current inaccessibility of several of this program's events. However, she ignored our concerns, and all inaccessible programs were presented to the public as originally planned.
The City of Somerville fails to demonstrate adequate understanding that inaccessible means: discrimination by design.

When most people in the industry talk about online or digital reputation management, what they're really saying is Google search and PPC. And it's usually reactive, left dealing with the aftermath of negative information published somewhere online. That's outdated. It leaves executives, organizations and other high-profile individuals at a high risk of a digital reputation attack that spans channels and tactics. But the tools needed to safeguard against an attack are more cybersecurity-oriented than most marketing and communications professionals can manage. Business leaders Leaders grasp the importance; 83% of executives place reputation in their top five areas of risk, yet only 23% are confident in their ability to address it. To succeed in 2024 and beyond, you need to turn online reputation on its axis and think like an attacker.\

Field School in Emmons County Press Release
1. Area student participates in
NDSU history field school
Fargo, N.D., June 14— North Dakota State University history students recently
completed a successful field experience at the Emmons County Museum to help people in the
Linton, North Dakota, area connect with their past.
The three-credit course, History 491/690, ran from May 22-June 10. It was led by
Angela Smith, assistant professor of history and NDSU’s public historian.
It was a win-win situation for all involved. NDSU undergraduate and graduate students
gained hands-on experience in their field, while the community received more than 1,200
hours of volunteer service from NDSU-educated public historians.
The students focused on best-practices in digitization, museum work and public
engagement. They cataloged artifacts, wrote exhibit text, digitized photos and conducted oral
histories with residents.
“We also got to know the community by singing with the seniors, working a booth at
Dairy Days and attending various town functions,” said Smith, noting the students also took
field trips to Whitestone Hill, the Logan County Museum, the Welk Homestead site and St.
Mary’s Church in Hague, North Dakota. “The students made a difference and practiced their
craft in a museum that needed their help. I am very proud of the students, our work in the
museum and thankful to the town of Linton for agreeing to host us.”
History graduate student John Hest, who is from Perley, Minnesota, said he gained a
new appreciation for the passionate dedication of the volunteers who are the driving force
behind rural museums.
“As historians, our first duty is as storytellers. When we scratch the surface of these
small towns, they have fantastic stories to tell and these stories are often not written down,”
Hest said. “If we are able to record their stories and interpret their past in the museum, we are
2. able to preserve their history and make sure that those stories persevere beyond the lifespans
of the wonderful people who run the museum.”
Alex Lien, a senior majoring in history, said a favorite moment was unveiling the newly
updated historical displays to the museum’s board of directors.
“Our work is important because the Emmons County Museum has a lot of amazing
items that need to be preserved. But, the money and experience needed to do that is not
always available in small museums,” explained Lien, who is from Chatfield, Minnesota. “This
class's purpose was to help preserve the items while also teaching the current caretakers
proper techniques and tricks to taking care of their museum.”
Graduate student Lauren Wiese, from Grafton, Wisconsin, said, “Not only was this
experience beneficial to us and to the museum board, but it benefitted the entire community of
Emmons County and all of North Dakota. By preserving the history of Emmons County, we
preserved a part of North Dakota's history. We preserved family and individual histories, and in
the process, we became part of Emmons County history as well. Seeing the tangible change
and knowing that I played a key part in making it happen was an amazing feeling.”
Other participating NDSU students included:
• Kaci Johnson, history graduate student from Zim, Minnesota
• Kirbie Sondreal, senior public history major from Reynolds, North Dakota
• Emily Kulzer, senior majoring in public history from Mahnomen, Minnesota
• Dean Brooks, senior English major from Philadelphia
• Brett Mills, senior majoring in public history from Buffalo, Minnesota
