    Getting to UI Biology Department\u27s Distinguished Faculty

    This was a project meant to encompass the works of retired faculty in the Department of Biology at the University of Iowa through profile story writing and then an event for each professor to talk at. This project was designed to showcase some of the works of retired professors in an attempt to allure people by reading the profile stories of people with extraordinary backgrounds. I wanted people to understand how the Department of Biology came to be what it is today and inform them that things weren\u27t like they are today. To understand the history and progression behind something is to truly understand it. Not only that, I planned an event to give the individuals that read the profile stories an opportunity to meet and speak with the professors. Therefore, a meet-and-greet event was planned further away from when the profile stories were published so that students could first read the profile stories and have an idea of who these professors were. The purpose of this event was to make these retired professors and professors in general more approachable since there is sometimes a barrier of intimidation that comes into play when students may have to confront professors

    This essay details the history of the land and structures that occupy the property currently located at the corner of Hawthorne and Woodland Streets in Worcester, Mass. Covering over 300 years, it begins with the legacies of the Nipmuc and the early English colonialist settlers before moving into a discussion of Worcester\u27s 19th Century industrialists and 20th Century acquisition by the University. The essay builds on extensive archival research using materials from both physical and digital collections such as atlases, censuses, biographies, directories, criticism, and more. To further develop the story of the English Department and its home, the essay also relies on oral histories conducted by the authors with retired professors of the department

    Higher education lecturers go through a long developmental path from graduate students to academic title of professor. On this path, the most delicate period is the retirement. The age of 60 or 65, which is approximately the same as the retirement age in most developed countries, is supposed to be the onset of old age. Today, when we live longer and healthier, irreparable damage would occur if society and the state didn’t take advantage of the knowledge, wisdom and skills that senior professors have accumulated throughout their careers. The vast majority of senior professors could still contribute and participate in the development of society. In our article, we presented the results of a survey regarding the academic and life activities of senior professors, members of the Center for Retired and Distinguished higher education teachers of the University of Maribor. The results showed that the vast majority of retired and professors emeriti were still active in academic life and contributed to the development and functioning of the University.Visokoškolski učitelji prolaze dugi razvojni put od diplomanta do profesora. Na tom putu je jedno od najdelikatnijih razdoblja odlazak u mirovinu. Starost od 60 ili 65 godina, otprilike ista kao i starost za umirovljenje u većini razvijenih zemalja, označava početak starosti. Danas, kada živimo duže i zdravije, događa se nepopravljiva šteta ako društvo i država ne iskoriste znanje, mudrost i vještine koje je starija generacija akademika akumulirala tijekom svoje karijere. Velika većina starijih profesora može doprinijeti i sudjelovati u razvoju društva. U ovom članku prikazujemo rezultate istraživanja o akademskim i životnim aktivnostima članova Centra za umirovljene i zaslužne profesore Sveučilišta u Mariboru. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da je velika većina umirovljenih i zaslužnih profesora aktivna u akademskom životu i konstruktivno doprinosi razvoju i djelovanju Sveučilišta

    Al formar parte del recurso humano de las Universidades, los docentes entran a ser parte importante del capital intelectual de las mismas al ser gestores y transmisores del conocimiento. Pero, se debe tener en cuenta que como seres humanos, pasan por distintas etapas en su ciclo de vida y que a lo largo de su historia van adquiriendo una trayectoria profesional, la cual al momento de la jubilación puede representar un capital invaluable, que por ende puede seguir siendo útil para la sociedad. Es en este punto donde surge el interrogante ¿A qué se dedican los docentes luego de la jubilación? Esta pregunta cobra validez dentro de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia debido a la consciencia que se tiene de la importancia, el potencial y creatividad de este grupo de docentes. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar una propuesta metodológica para la caracterización y análisis de las actividades profesionales realizadas por los docentes jubilados de las Instituciones de Educación Superior –IES-, en primer lugar, a partir de la revisión bibliográfica de los diferentes modelos de ciclo de vida profesional y la trayectoria científica de los docentes, y en segundo lugar, a partir del análisis de estudios realizados en Universidades Norteamericanas y Europeas, los cuales se centran en el análisis de las características personales y profesionales de dicho grupo de personas. Lo anterior, como base para poder determinar papel de los docentes jubilados como parte del capital intelectual de las Instituciones de Educación Superior más importantes en el contexto colombiano, la Universidad Nacional de Colombia –UNAL-. / Abstract. As a part of the Human Capital of the Higher Education Institute, professors come to play an important role acting as creators, managers and knowledge transmitters. However, as human beings they cross different stages in their life cycle and during that process, they acquire a professional and scientific career that at the retirement moment could become an invaluable capital that could continue being useful to the society. Is at this point when we ask ¿What do the professors do after their retirement? This question become relevance inside one of the most important Higher Education Institute in the Colombian context because of the awareness that it has on the importance, potential and creativity of this group of academics. Another reason is related with using a model for measuring research capabilities of this Higher Education Institute based on Intellectual Capital approach, the retired professors and their legacy as a reiterative subject. The objective of this work is based on building of a methodological proposal for the characterization and analysis of the professional activities developed by the retired professors of the Higher Education Institutions; characterize the activities developed by retired professors of Universidad Nacional de Colombia -UNAL at national level between 2001 and 2011. This based on the one hand, on a bibliographical review of studies done in different North America and United Kingdom Universities which are focused in the analysis of the personal and professional characteristic, also in the analysis of the different professors life-cycle models, and on the other hand, a the current model of the institution for measuring research capabilities based on Intellectual Capital approach. The previous will be the base to determine the role of retired professors as a part of the Intellectual Capital of the Higher Education Institutions and to have inputs for design and follow-up research policies related with retired professors.Maestrí
