Abstract The Gerontology Interdisciplinary Program at the University of Utah has a long history of offering certificates (48 years) and a Master of Science degree (25 years). Relatively new to our program is the minor in gerontology, first available in 2013. This paper will describe efforts to grow this program, barriers to enrollment, and plans for expansion. In 2018, the program developed a targeted strategy to increase student awareness of and enrollment in the minor. First, we focused on newly enrolled pre-nursing students through new student orientation presentations and registration support. The introductory course within the minor jumped in enrollment from 6 students in Fall of 2017 to 40 in Fall 2018. Students taking courses in the minor received follow-up support and instructions mid-semester to ease matriculation. Enrollment in the minor increased by 140%. Next, we plan to apply these strategies to a broader number of colleges and departments throughout campus.

The purpose of this project was to interpret the vegetational history of the Yellowstone Park area by the analysis of pollen contained in sediment cores from four locations in Yellowstone Lake. The cores, collected by Dr. Robert Smith of the University of Utah, were from the north central portion, the west thumb area, the south arm and the southeast arm of the lake. The cores were to be compared to determine pollen variations within the lake. Differences between a small pond and a large lake basin in reflecting climatic change were to be studied by comparing the results with pollen counts from Fifteen Foot Lagoon (Baker, 1976).

This article presents views and experiences of several engineers. Experts point out that books about the nature and history of technology can help round out an engineering education. Spencer Bondhus, a B.S.M.E degree holder, has been developing new products in the medical device industry. Adam Leemans has completed a Master of Science degree in energy and sustainability. Jill Hershman, another B.S.M.E graduate, finds Fearless Leadership: High-Performance Lessons From the Flight Deck by Carey D. Lohrenz very helpful in broad engineering thinking. Maxim Budyansky, the chief technology officer and co-founder of Avitus Orthopaedics, likes to learn about different ways of thinking as in The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom by Don Miguel Ruiz and Become What You Are by Alan W. Watts and also from self-improvement books like Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People.

Health Content

Increasingly recognized as an educational domain in its own right, Ma-ori health is a central focus of medical and health sciences curricula in Aotearoa/New Zealand. As part of the Bachelor of Health Sciences offered at the University of Canterbury, Ma-ori health content is taught in a compulsory introductory course “Ma-ori Health Issues & Opportunities” (HLTH 106), positioned at the interface of Ma-ori health and public health. The course follows a trajectory through Ma-ori history, the Treaty of Waitangi, colonization, and the emergence of inequities, ending with structural and Ma-ori-led approaches for redress. Much of the content challenges prevailing public discourses relating to Aotearoa/New Zealand’s settlement and status as an egalitarian society, the basis of many students’ preconceptions. A social determinants of health frame has supported the navigation of this “tricky” terrain, and the construction of evidence-based counternarratives. Iterative curriculum development demonstrated the value of taking account not only of learner needs but also the characteristics of public health that may hinder learning.
