An exploration of institutional transformation to make the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History a more community-driven, dynamic, successful organization. Honest successes and challenges along the way.
What does it take to truly transform how an arts organization engages with its community? This is the story of how the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History dramatically increased its attendance, revenue, and public impact through a "revolution" in active participation and social bridging. Presented by Nina Simon at the Theater Communications Group national conference in June 2013.

Enrollments in K-12 online learning in the US have increased dramatically, an average of 30% annually over the past decade and projections indicate that up to 50% of secondary school courses could be delivered online by 2019. Similar levels of growth have been found in Canada. The expansion of online instruction in secondary school has been rationalized in a variety of ways, one of which is the argument that K-12 students need to engage in online learning to prepare them for future online learning opportunities. This research study was carried out to investigate if there are differences between students who complete secondary school courses exclusively in traditional classrooms and those who complete in an online environment with regard to their perceptions of self-regulatory skills, experience with online learning, expectations of online learning, their perceptions of online courses, and satisfaction with learning online. The results indicated when the high school online learners were compared to the other university students who did not have any prior online learning experience there were no significant differences between them on any of the measures included in this study. It is notable, however, that the construct measuring student perception of distance course communication and collaboration was very close to statistical significance. A significant finding would have indicated that the university students in the high school online learner group had a more positive attitude toward communication and collaboration in the distance education course format. These findings suggest high school students do not gain independent learning skills and attitudes through learning in an online environment.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

Learning Objectives:
- Understand the rationale behind the 2024 updates to the Uniform Guidance outlined in 2 CFR 200, and their implications for federal grant recipients.
- Identify the key changes and revisions introduced by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in the 2024 edition of 2 CFR 200.
- Gain proficiency in applying the updated regulations to ensure compliance with federal grant requirements and avoid potential audit findings.
- Develop strategies for effectively implementing the new guidelines within the grant management processes of their respective organizations, fostering efficiency and accountability in federal grant administration.
33. I'm closer to the stodgy traditional museum
supporter than to the audiences you are
currently trying to reach, but I strongly support
your outreach and attempts to involve new
communities. It is precisely because of that
outreach that I finally became a museum
member last year. There was no reason to do
so before, since the museum was doing
nothing. I still have little occasion to go to the
museum, but I'm willing to support it as an
important community resource.
61. The average scientist, so far as I can make out,
spends almost all his time working on problems which
he believes will not be important and he also doesn't
believe that they will lead to important problems.
