| Nominate Students for Vision Awards George Mason University's Vision Awards, sponsored by University Life's Office of Diversity Programs and Services (ODPS), is an awards recognition and banquet celebration held annually for Mason students, faculty and staff of diverse backgrounds and their allies. The event honors students for excellence in academics, leadership, social justice and building of community harmony. This year's Vision Awards celebration will be on Saturday, March 25. Vision Awards nominations are now being accepted for outstanding students in two categories: Leadership and Social Action/Justice. For distinction in leadership, students will have successfully held leadership positions in campus or community organizations, and use their leadership to empower others. To be recognized for social action/justice, students will have demonstrated a commitment to social justice work, show understanding of the links between forms of oppression, and work to build bridges across communities. Nominate students from African American, American Indian/Alaskan Native, Asian/Pacific American, Latino/a/Hispanic, Middle Eastern/Arab, and LGBTQ communities as well as students who are allies to these communities. Nomination forms (and fuller description of criteria and instructions) are available at the ODPS Office in SUB 1, or online at http://www.gmu.edu/student/msaf/visionawards.htm.

| Nominate LGBTQ/Ally Students for Academic Excellence Award This year's Vision Awards, sponsored by the Office of Diversity Programs & Services (ODPS), will be on Saturday, March 25. The event honors Mason students of diverse communities and their allies for excellence in academics, leadership, and social justice. Nominations for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning (LGBTQ) and ally students for academic excellence are now being accepted. Why this specific request: Mason documents the academic records of students who have identified themselves to the university as members of ethnically diverse communities (African/American, Hispanic/Latino, and Asian/Pacific American, for example). No such documentation exists of LGBTQ populations, so to get word of deserving LGBTQ and ally students - faculty, staff, and/or peers of each student need to contact us. If you know of LGBTQ or ally students whom you'd like to see recognized for their academic achievement, email RChollar@gmu.edu or call 993-2702 with the student's name, contact info (email and/or phone number), and G number. We will follow up to confirm the student's interest/consent, then obtain their grade point through the Registrar, and then invite the student to the ceremony. For info on LGBTQ services, visit our website lgbtq.gmu.edu. For a description of awards criteria and instructions visit http://www.gmu.edu/student/msaf/visionawards.htm.

| Currently in the United States, an estimated 28 million people suffer from varying degrees of hearing impairment. As we age, hearing loss becomes increasingly prevalent. In fact, according to the National Center for Health Statistics, hearing impairment is the third most common problem affecting the Baby Boom generation. Fortunately, most hearing losses can be effectively treated with digital amplification. The key for effective treatment is to identify a hearing loss in the early stages. Because the onset of hearing loss tends to be gradual, the following series of questions have been developed to help identify hearing impairment: • Do you favor one ear over the other? • Have you been told that TV is too loud for everyone but yourself? • Do you have difficulty following conversations in large groups or noisy places, such as restaurants? • Do you often ask others to repeat themselves, especially young children and women? • Do you have trouble hearing at a distance, such as church or movie theaters? • Do family members or friends comment on your inability to hear? If you answered yes to one or more of the previous questions, it may indicate the need for a complete hearing evaluation. For additional information contact your medical service provider. If you have any safety concerns or concerns about this article, contact the Safety Office, 993-2479. | ||

| Unconditional Parenting - Beyond Bribes and Threats A free talk by Alfie Kohn (www.alfiekohn.org), sponsored by the Northern Virginia Writing Project (www.nvwp.org), on Friday, March 17 at 7:30 pm in the Johnson Center Cinema. RSVP to 993-1168. Advice for raising children typically comes in two flavors: threats (known euphemistically as consequences) and bribes (positive reinforcement). Either we make kids suffer to teach them a lesson, or we dangle goodies in front of them for doing as they're told. This presentation, by the author of the book Unconditional Parenting, will show why carrots and sticks are not only ineffective but actually counterproductive over the long haul. To raise children who are good learners and good people requires us to abandon strategies that do things to kids, in favor of an approach in which we work with them. Alfie Kohn has been featured on hundreds of TV and radio programs, including the Today show and two appearances on Oprah; he has been profiled in the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times, while his work has been described and debated in many other leading publications. To learn more about Alfie Kohn, visit www.alfiekohn.org. | ||

Advance Screening of Frank Sesno's CNN Documentary You are invited to an advance screening of Frank Sesno’s latest documentary about America’s energy reliance entitled We Were Warned: Tomorrow's Oil Crisis on Monday, March 6, 2006, 1:30 - 2:30 pm in the Johnson Center Cinema. The documentary opens with a hypothetical – but entirely plausible – scenario one September day in the not-too-distant future. A category 5 hurricane roars through Houston, destroying oil refineries, drilling platforms, and pipelines – all of which are vital to our nation's fuel supply. Subsequently, three-days later, terrorists attack two key oil installations in Saudi Arabia, home to the world's largest supplier of crude. In the days and weeks that follow, gasoline prices hit record highs, food prices soar as trucks can not afford to make deliveries, and Americans begin to realize that their very way of life is in peril. Throughout the documentary, Frank Sesno speaks with petroleum experts; scientists and engineers, all of whom are scrambling to make alternative fuels viable and plentiful; and industry experts who agree that the era of easy-to-extract oil is over. The crude that is left on the planet is difficult and expensive to obtain. The program is part of CNN’s award-winning documentary series CNN Presents; it is scheduled to air on CNN Saturday, March 18 at 8:00 pm with a rebroadcast that night at 11:00 pm and Sunday, March 19, 8:00 and 11:00 pm. Seating is limited, so plan to arrive early. | ||
