fischer, hall of fame, sports, UD, University of Delaware

photo of Jim Fischer tracksideThose of us who know former University of Delaware cross-country and track and field coach CRR Jim Fischer are indeed thinking how bittersweet an honor this must be for him to be told he’ll be so received by the same institution that five years ago took away from him the job he so loved.

Supremely respected in this community, Fischer will indeed be inducted into the University of Delaware Sports Hall of Fame class of 2016 on October 28, along with other UD sports greats, including Baltimore Ravens’ quarterback Joe Flacco.

Congratulations, Coach. No one is worthier of this honor, for all you’ve done for so many over three decades of coaching. See Blue Hen Athletics story. See University of Delaware article.

cucciarre, English, UD, University of Delaware

photo of Christine CucciarreAssociate professor of English and CRR Christine Cucciarre is one of four recipients of this year’s Excellence in Teaching Awards at the University of Delaware. In her own words:

“I want those who were confident coming into my class to realize that there was, and is, more to learn about writing, and those who lacked confidence to know that they have the ability to think and write. And I really try to get them to see writing differently, as a process for making sense of all the new things they are learning.” See full story.

Let’s hear it for those who can both write and teach writing as well as run. Congratulations, Christine.

photo of Bill FarquharCRR Bill Farquhar writes in the News Journal about new sodium labeling—“salt bombs”—restaurants are using. Farquhar is Professor and Chair in the Department of Kinesiology and Applied Physiology at the University of Delaware. He studies the role of diet and exercise on human health. In addition to his academic prowess, Farquhar is a serious runner. Now that his training is back on track, you can be sure he’s watching his own salt intake too.

Read News Journal article. (CRR Dave Edwards, Farquhar’s colleague, is also mentioned in the article.)

Recently, CRR Skip White, who was on sabbatical this fall from his day job as a professor in the Department of Accounting at the University of Delaware, did some fishing with recent retiree CRR John Schuster. Sure, it was a nice catch, but the real story here is how nice and new White’s shirt looks. Displaying the group T-shirt is always a good look, whether the fish is just big or “this big.”

photo of Cole GallowayCRR Cole Galloway and his Go Baby Go mobility program at the University of Delaware was injected with some new funding from the organization Kids with Confidence. His research will ultimately provide information to improve the lives of children with many kinds of mobility and learning issues, but those with Down syndrome are the focus of the initial Go Baby Go research. Galloway is professor of physical therapy in the College of Health Sciences.
