James S. and Rosemary Worley Award: In 1997, alumni of the Graduate Program in Economic Development, friends and family of Emeritus Professor James S. Worley and his wife Rosemary established an award in their name which is given annually to a first-year GPED student. James Worley, Director of the GPED for 25 years is credited with building the program to its position of strength today. Under his leadership, the mission of the GPED to train government officials and university teachers from developing countries became more clearly defined, and the program developed strong and lasting relationships with people and governments around the world. Each fall an award of $2,000 is given to an entering student; the selection is based on academic merit, social commitment and motivation of choosing this program on Economic Development. Students, alumni and friends of the Program join together for a reception to honor the Worleys and the recipient of the James S. and Rosemary Worley Award.

和梅(音)的家乡在中国农村,那里既不通电,也不通公路。她要翻山越岭去上学,她姐姐就在黎明前举着火把送她。从那个遥远的起点,和梅一路走到纽约州北部的大学。

和梅想去教纳西族同胞的孩子们,把他们送上漫漫征程,走进这个比大山转动得快得多的世界。“有人对我说,‘你不该回去’,”和梅用她热情且相当流利的英语说,“我回答,‘村子值得我回去’。”详细信息...

【新闻报道】记者王春莲 美国前总统克林顿于今年9月初来华访问,并参加了在新疆乌鲁木齐举行的“中国经济国际峰会”。据悉,克林顿有缘来到乌鲁木齐,是缘于美国国际商务集团总裁萨法尔先生的牵线搭桥。而萨法尔对于新疆的了解,却来自任玉梅。
任玉梅几个月来一直在为克林顿的访问做着各方面的协调与准备工作。她这次专程从美国回到新疆,就是为了克林顿来新疆一事。她陪同克林顿参加了在乌鲁木齐举行的“中国经济国际峰会”。9月10日,记者见到了任玉梅。克林顿演讲期间,她给美国来的企业家担任翻译,忙前忙后,以至于看上去有些憔悴。
任玉梅的家里充满了离别的味道。客厅的一面墙上,贴着她女儿稚嫩的图画作品,内容几乎都是“欢迎妈妈回家!”“妈妈我想你!”那是任玉梅去了美国后,女儿因思念她而作。 详细信息...

Masters Degree in Environmental Education
王愉-来自威斯康星的报道
Yu Wang, a native of Kunming, China, has learned much about Wisconsin, the United States and the English language since her arrival on the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point campus last August. Wang is the first recipient of the prestigious Ford Fellowship to attend UWSP. She picked the school's College of Natural Resources over a similar program offered at Cornell University. 'When I compared the two schools, here the faculty had a much stronger emphasis on environmental education," Wang said in her accented but very articulate English. "I'm very glad I picked here." The 27-year-old environmental education graduate student enjoys the American style of learning, which focuses on hands-on experience and practical education. Although the Chinese style of teaching environmental education has moved toward this approach in the last few years, it is still primarily a lecture-based system. Wang was one of 460 Ford Fellows named in 2004, picked from 20,000 applicants in 22 countries. Each selection is based on academics, leadership and a commitment to the development of their native communities. "I think it is probably a real milestone for our program in environmental education," said Wang's graduate studies mentor, Randy Champeau, associate dean of CNR and director of the Wisconsin Center for Environmental Education. "It says a lot about our nationally known program. We're just really lucky to have her here."More Detail...
