The Future

Die Fakulteit Regte is nou halfpad na ʼn honderdjarige. Weens haar ouderdom is sy diep begrond en strek haar takke en vrugte wyd. Ten spyte van haar ouderdom is sy egter steeds speels met baie planne en vol entoesiasme vir die toekoms. Ons is dankbaar dat ons hierdie mylpaal kon bereik, maar tyd is relatief en daar is immers die ou waarheid dat kosbare gedagtes ewig is en nooit oud sal word nie. Daar is talle gedagtes van ons vorige personeelkorpse verewig in joernale en boeke oor die afgelope 50 jaar en hierdie bundel bou daarop voort.The Faculty of Law is halfway in her journey to becoming a centenarian.  Her age ensures that she is a well-grounded and well-respected dame with the fruits of her labour stretching far and wide. Yet, despite her age, she is still sprightly and filled with enthusiasm for the future.  We are grateful that she could reach this milestone, but time, like so many things, is relative and the ancient truth remains that precious thoughts are everlasting and will never decay, diminish or grow old.  The thoughts and ideas of our previous staff members have been immortalised in journals, books and publications during the past 50 years, and this collection builds on this fine tradition.

Museum Staff

Many art museums rely upon volunteers, often titled docents, to implement a range of educational offerings, including guided gallery experiences. As such, docents regularly engage visitors more than most museum staff members. A review of literature spanning over a century provides support for an examination of four reoccurring themes within museum education and docent history: uncertain definitions, professionalization, theoretical foundation, and embedded traditions. Subsequently, consideration of the past offers context for examining contemporary museum education programs that develop the capacity of docents as change agents, including offerings during the COVID-19 pandemic and developing inclusive practice through docent education. The chapter concludes with an envisioning of the future for docents within museum education.

Support Facility

The University of Iowa Central Electron Microscopy Research Facility(CEMRF) was established in 1981 to support all faculty, staff and students needing this technology. Initially the CEMRF was operated with one TEM, one SEM, three staff members and supported about 30 projects a year. During the past twelve years, the facility has replaced all instrumentation pre-dating 1981, and now includes 2 TEM's, 2 SEM's, 2 EDS systems, cryo-transfer specimen holders for both TEM and SEM, 2 parafin microtomes, 4 ultamicrotomes including cryoultramicrotomy, a Laser Scanning Confocal microscope, a research grade light microscope, an Ion Mill, film and print processing equipment, a rapid cryo-freezer, freeze substitution apparatus, a freeze-fracture/etching system, vacuum evaporators, sputter coaters, a plasma asher, and is currently evaluating scanning probe microscopes for acquisition. The facility presently consists of 10 staff members and supports over 150 projects annually from 44 departments in 5 Colleges and 10 industrial laboratories. One of the unique strengths of the CEMRF is that both Biomedical and Physical scientists use the facility.
