The pandemic changed our students, faculty, staff, and our campus as a whole.

It's September and summer and officially over! :(</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;">Summer is one of those sacred times of year for faculty to determine the next steps of their faculty career. From my dear colleague who is focused on his retirement to new faculty members who are focused on their new research agenda, everyone is focused on renewal. Our department faculty members usually travel to work at state parks, volunteer in the community, and participate in professional development activities.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;">This summer, we traveled on a study abroad experience to Scotland, Ireland, and England. This was an incredible journey with 17 students from our university. I have not traveled outside of the country for a year and the students were filled with excitement from the end of the spring semester. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The trip to Europe was long and uneventful. We traveled with EF Tours and it was definitely an adventure. Many of our rural students have never traveled outside of the country before this adventure and they learned many new skills along their journey. I was proud of their progress.</div><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEcSRRIcdF8VBWUB290rli4CmNLHB5EtwwjSqrtBFDmEAjFVEuqaYP97566-Z9cqIKOIFJdlfAeOoGLlXuMbAYccpp4o7ajAFqLGgDDtCnWLHcQqR4HhSZaIkMCnrNq8yYd4fnFMmSmeNISi8eXZMJOkfnedUSEBLwWXKZm4wUZ8F5K_jFJSCI2euOpuk/s4032/IMG_2595.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="519" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEcSRRIcdF8VBWUB290rli4CmNLHB5EtwwjSqrtBFDmEAjFVEuqaYP97566-Z9cqIKOIFJdlfAeOoGLlXuMbAYccpp4o7ajAFqLGgDDtCnWLHcQqR4HhSZaIkMCnrNq8yYd4fnFMmSmeNISi8eXZMJOkfnedUSEBLwWXKZm4wUZ8F5K_jFJSCI2euOpuk/w389-h519/IMG_2595.jpeg" width="389" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">During the study abroad experience, I also had an opportunity walk a mile by myself in Ireland. Previously, I have ALWAYS traveled in groups - large groups and small groups. However, when most of the attendees wanted to participate in an activity together and I had to travel back to the hotel to pick up an item - I had the opportunity be independent. I walked by myself across the city to the hotel. This prepared me for another big adventure that I had this summer. Summer 2023 was filled with solo adventure travel for this female faculty member.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDGpwlEzUpKtEjNp27FEeDCGuU0hfGkvxuCC3_0_DZMuWmjT-GFs-E3tzOXpW7zYupdtfTnTMK29QJOYC4iViH489_KRb3D_dr4k93xKa8ljQf8sHMuWNJygZ-_dxZjXhrL70v8cIfmEayXPoJMXUOSd9mq2Zi4OgxVz5i_Cx1JvkAIKGc8zf6lTuChxk/s4032/IMG_2557.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDGpwlEzUpKtEjNp27FEeDCGuU0hfGkvxuCC3_0_DZMuWmjT-GFs-E3tzOXpW7zYupdtfTnTMK29QJOYC4iViH489_KRb3D_dr4k93xKa8ljQf8sHMuWNJygZ-_dxZjXhrL70v8cIfmEayXPoJMXUOSd9mq2Zi4OgxVz5i_Cx1JvkAIKGc8zf6lTuChxk/w480-h640/IMG_2557.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;">We also had an opportunity to view the Book of Kells in Ireland.

When they initially asked me about presenting about visual presentations, I had to think back to the numerous presentations that I have been fortunate to facilitate all over America. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;">Then, I thought about the items that I wish I would have had on site when I saw the place where I needed to place my poster. So, I decided to make a "Poster Presentation Survival Kit". This kit contains: masking tape, t-pins, white out, sharpie markers, and cuticle clippers (to serve as scissors for your poster (just in case)). </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmc02PJsjGaxvtJcZBcA7AhG8uk-ZpCHmGMngPFm6dd0xCiQk3brNTcP5R3WV287eAh7RlFQqjuWP73Wy9C6E4kKI68dswR7HwtM6o2nY-hSBC1qlvyIh7uWYmlCL76NA2QDoypA6JTpU0PLWSDnQ27V0k0tRAVpJQ7MUGKNZo18tPqzdKhApgMXcd/s1920/Cream%20and%20Brown%20Finance%20Presentation.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmc02PJsjGaxvtJcZBcA7AhG8uk-ZpCHmGMngPFm6dd0xCiQk3brNTcP5R3WV287eAh7RlFQqjuWP73Wy9C6E4kKI68dswR7HwtM6o2nY-hSBC1qlvyIh7uWYmlCL76NA2QDoypA6JTpU0PLWSDnQ27V0k0tRAVpJQ7MUGKNZo18tPqzdKhApgMXcd/w498-h280/Cream%20and%20Brown%20Finance%20Presentation.png" width="498" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: Quicksand;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;">The presentation was well received and they asked for a copy.

Seriously, after our major grocery store in Carthage, Texas (a very rural area in East Texas) left a sizable gap in the strip center between Wal-Mart and Eckerd's (CVS Pharmacy), we were pleased when H-E-B moved into the grocery store space that was vacant for 10+ years. It opened in the late 1990s and the city has shown their love for H-E-B since that time. It greatly contributes to the health of the region.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;">One of my cousins works for H-E-B and she absolutely loves the company. Even when she travels, she is all about visiting the nearest H-E-B store. Talk about H-E-B-based travel, that is her favorite thing!</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;">H-E-B, like other stores, had to pivot during the pandemic. In fact, our local H-E-B store in Carthage, Texas was very proactive in implementing measures to keep their team members and shoppers safe. They enabled only a certain amount of people to enter the store at one time, etc.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="397" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9z4BRXPxxaE" width="478" youtube-src-id="9z4BRXPxxaE"></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;">Earlier this month, I saw this amazing webinar focused on how the H-E-B organization reflected on how they changed procedures during the pandemic and other aspects of their store.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;">So, take a BIG bite of this webinar and reflect in the comment box below about how your local grocery stores pivoted (or did not pivot) during the pandemic.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;"><span>Thanks for visiting! </span><br /><span><br /></span><span>Sincerely,</span><br /><span><br /></span><b>Dr. Jennifer T.

As we meet with teams and individuals, we have to account for the life that is happening on the other side of the screen. Through Zoom we have a unique opportunity to gain a glimpse into another person's life to which we would normally not have access.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;">This means that we have a moral and ethnical responsibility as peers and as leaders to genuinely care about the people to which we are communicate with on Zoom.

Actually, I always think about my proximity to a Level I hospital when traveling in a rural area or visiting a relative.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;">Many rural sections of our Texas interstates are located far from a Level I hospital. This means that when I am traveling to another location in Texas, I have to be very careful to practice defensive driving because I do not want to end up in a situation when I have to be transported to a high level hospital from a rural area.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;">As a result, I looked forward to this live session from the Texas Tribune for weeks. This panel highlighted the perils that many of our rural residents encounter everyday. In many of our rural Texas counties, you cannot deliver a baby in a hospital, because there is not a labor and delivery unit. Also, some of our rural counties like Shelby County, TX, do not have a rural hospital any longer.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;">Which part of the video stands out to you? </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="333" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VLm65HC2CK4" width="400" youtube-src-id="VLm65HC2CK4"></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;"><span>Thanks for visiting! </span><br /><span><br /></span><span>Sincerely,</span><br /><span><br /></span><b>Dr. Jennifer T.

Edwards, Dr. Subi Gandhi, and Dr. LaShondra Manning) has been tirelessly providing education and outreach for the rural areas of East Texas. This outreach has been both challenging and rewarding since the pediatric vaccine was approved by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS).</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;">Educating parents about the benefits of the COVID-19 vaccine has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. As a parent, I am always very excited to share health information, but especially this information has been very important for me.</span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;">Here's a workshop that we were very excited to view from the Texas Department of Health and Human Services. This workshop was focused on "What About the Children: Changing the Landscape on Rural Vaccine Coverage".</span><span style="font-family: Quicksand;"> It focused on health in rural areas, especially for our youngest populations.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.dshs.texas.gov/immunize/covid19/COVID-19-Recruitment.pdf" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1206" data-original-width="2158" height="311" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi2QQpGw4q5xd7pbLc-X-tpfMeAWr8m-P47KIsMa41PbLRynqJIEyOvNrx47vwnpdPWvL1efqyYxlJmUn_ch-1Mbw0d5R1Oa0APH-BR8aiX9wS0XRCijOv7J4N8oH7XQgILRwtnG54iTmzjb6WS-oLgJLWlqZbZl1s0AvIbfyznqEWsify8LtUROJFQ=w558-h311" width="558" /></a></div><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;">Here's the link - <a href="https://www.dshs.texas.gov/immunize/covid19/COVID-19-Recruitment.pdf">https://www.dshs.texas.gov/immunize/covid19/COVID-19-Recruitment.pdf</a></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Quicksand;">Also, we have been fortunate to receive funding for travel for our outreach events, shirts, and giveaways.

We are just transitioning out of a COVID19 time period and our students are ready and eager to engage with faculty!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">Before the semester began, I made the decision to travel to a Texas State Park. I realized that I write best papers when I am sitting outside in camping chair, cooking lunch with a foldable cookstove, and surrounding myself with the most amazing bug spray ever.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">So, while I was "in nature", I thought about some out of the box strategies that I could use for the upcoming semester. One of these strategies was centered around one of my husband's experiences during his graduate program at Texas A&M University - The Journal Club. Now, keep in mind - I teaching in the Communication Department and journal clubs are primarily held in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields (STEM).</span></p><p><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">So, I jumped into the Journal Club game HEAD FIRST and I decided to integrate the experience on my syllabus. My graduate students did not have any experience with a journal club and I had to demonstrate and explain the purpose of the activity. ALL of my students are online and this meant that the best way to explain the journal club was to demonstrate how it works. So, here's my demonstration video...</span></p><p><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mruJeLMHZrM" width="320" youtube-src-id="mruJeLMHZrM"></iframe></span></div><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><br /><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">After the students viewed the video, they were able to select the days and the associated articles that they wanted to highlight in the journal club. The students had to present two times and they had to attend at least one session. Each session has two facilitators and they basically divide the article in half. Many of the students have attended more than three sessions. Here are the articles we reviewed this semester...</span></p><p><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><google-sheets-html-origin></google-sheets-html-origin></span></p><table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" dir="ltr" style="border-collapse: collapse;

Yes, this area includes my hometown county - Panola County, then Rusk County and Shelby County. This was an AMAZING project! Thanks Hogg Foundation!</div><div><br /></div><div>The North East Texas Counts campaign had three goals for the project. Goal one was “to select and train 200 NETX Counts Ambassadors and Junior Ambassadors to tell the importance of the census to the community”. Goal two was “to engage and educate at least 3,000 residents in the tri-county community (especially hard-to-count populations) about the importance of the census”. The final goal, goal three” was “to saturate the tri-county community media outlets with Census information pertinent to their residents”. Through this campaign, we hosted 25 outdoor Census booths, eight interactive community information sessions, an engaging social media campaign, and received coverage in almost 10 newspapers and television outlets.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/33AVU5mmcrs" width="320" youtube-src-id="33AVU5mmcrs"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>The North East Texas Counts began the Census season by communicating with key contacts in the community and scheduling large-scale events to educate the community about the Census. We scheduled events at the local community college, library, etc. After the three counties restricted large scale and in-person events, we decided to develop a more robust online training and development process for our interns and volunteers.</div><div><br /></div><div>We offered numerous outdoor Census education table sessions. However, instead of offering these sessions outside large big-box retailers in the country, we offered these sessions in formats more focused on common pain points experienced by residents of the three counties and safety protocols of the counties. Instead of shopping at big-box retailers, the residents were more focused on shopping in smaller retailers, visiting gas stations, and visiting the post office. As a result, our strategy changed. During this process, we coined the phrase, “from gas stations to grocery stores”, because these were the essential places visited by residents during the pandemic. During this process, we offered information booths outside of gas stations, libraries in each county, Tractor Supply stores, city council areas, and on the side of the major highways. These strategies proved to be very effective because many residents indicated they have not taken the Census before and they did not know the importance of the Census. We were able to provide support for these residents through interactive in-person, on-one-one programming focused on the Census.</div><div><br /></div><div><i><b>Community Communication</b></i></div><div>The North East Texas Counts team began the Census season by communicating with key contacts in the community and scheduling large-scale events to educate the community about the Census. We scheduled events at the local community college, library, etc. After the three counties restricted large scale and in-person events, we decided to develop a more robust online training and development process for our interns and volunteers.</div><div><br /></div><div>We offered three pop-up Census education table sessions outside large big-box retailers in the country. During these sessions, participants received USB chargers, Census t-shirts, and USB wall plugs. These technology and apparel items were essential items during the pandemic, because individuals in these areas usually have to travel to larger cities for technology items. People saw our items as they drove on the highways and many turned around to hear about the Census and to receive the items. Many residents commented that they have seen several Census shirts around their town and they wanted to learn more. We did not have any Census t-shirts left after September 30, 2020.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><u><b>North East Texas Counts Census - Coverage</b></u></div><div><br /></div><div>Quoted in the Texas Tribune.
