BIOLOGY DEPARTMENT Department faculty continued to make impressive efforts pursuing scholarly activities via peer-reviewed publication, and successful competition for external funding of their research and community outreach efforts. Particularly noteworthy are the scholarly accomplishments of Dr. Shain who authored five (seven total from his lab) papers centering on the general biological significance of unusual adaptations to extreme environments, including an article in the prestigious Proceedings of the Royal Society of London Series B (Suppl.) Biology Letters. Recently, the prestigious journal Development accepted Dr. Shain's manuscript describing fundamental discoveries of stem cell molecular biology. This work capitalized on unique characteristics of a model organism (the leech) which permit investigations which would be impossible in a mammalian species. Drs. Martin and Sarkar continued work on their NSF sponsored project “Non-genomic Metabotropic Effects of Thyroid Hormone in Adult Rat Brain". Dr. Dighton continued his successful activities to build up the research and instructional capabilities of the Rutgers Pinelands Field Station with external funding from NSF for new and improved facilities and NJ DEP for work on nitrogen deposition and fungal metabolism. Dr. Saidel continued his brain studies of Pantodon buchholzi in Camden during the year and spent three months as part of a one semester sabbatical leave at the Steinitz Marine Biology Laboratory, Eilat, Israel collaborating with Dr. Nadav Shashar in constructing a program that attempts to simulate how a coral reef fish sees a conspecific. Dr. Lee continued his long term research efforts supported by NIH entitled “Bridges to the Baccalaureate Degree” which provides opportunities to minority junior college students. His most recent research focus is titled "intracellular abeta accumulation and neuronal degeneration in Alzheimer's disease”, a joint research project with Robert Nagele from UMDNJ at Strattford and is supported by the Alzheimer's Association ($265,000). Finally, a new SPARC (Science Preparation Alliance of Rutgers and Camden) grant (PI: Whitlow (Psychology); co-PI Martin) is being funded by NIH. This project since 1991 has received a total of $1,043,000 in funding from local and national agencies. The Department is very pleased to announce the addition to its faculty of Dr. Heike Bücking, our new microbiologist effective January 2005. She comes to us after completing a Post-Doc at Michigan State University. She received her Ph.D. in 1995 from the University of Bremen in Germany. Her research is focused on developing a better understanding of the dynamics of nutrient uptake at the soil/plant interface, including nutrient transfer across the fungal/plant interface. We anticipate she will make full use in her research of the Rutgers Pinelands Field Station and our new NSF funded Scanning Electron Microscopy facility.
The department continues to participate fully in the College's teaching mission. This year Dr. Evans served as the acting Director of the Honors College. He also participates in the WMHEC program that enables students who received their associate's degree from Brookdale Community College to receive a Rutgers degree. He offers one online course a semester: Facts of Life (120:105) and Basic Botany (130:201) These courses are the only way for these students to meet their general curricular science requirements. In addition, Drs. Saidel and Martin offered a new research course in scanning electron microscopy This course introduced students to the techniques of scanning electron microscopy in Fall 2003. In Spring 2004 (and continuing into Summer 2004), a select group of students from the initial course are conducting pilot studies on the possibility of incorporating the use of this instrument in a research course on lead toxicity. Dr. Dighton has developed a summer course in Field Ecological Methodology at the Pinelands Field Station, which is open to both undergraduate and graduate students. Another sign of the department's commitment to high quality teaching is the fact that about half of our undergraduates carry out independent research projects in faculty laboratories by the time they graduate. In addition, faculty continue to publish an impressive number of peer reviewed research papers with undergraduate and graduate student as co-authors.

CHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT
The growth in numbers that we reported last year has continued this year. There are currently twenty-nine students majoring in chemistry, and one minor. This is a 25% increase from last year. The quality of the majors also remains high. One of our students, Jean-Pierre Pinto, was selected to receive a two-year scholarship from the American Chemical Society. There were fewer than one hundred such awards nationwide. Professor Georgia Arbuckle-Keil received the Philadelphia Section American Chemical Society Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Education in the Chemical Sciences sponsored by Merck. This year she has been on leave conducting research on the proton-conducting polymer membrance, Nafion, used in proton exchange membrane fuel cells, at Princeton University. She continues to serve at the National level of the American Chemical Society as a representative from the Philadelphia Section (ACS). Professor Alex Roche has had two papers accepted for publication this year. He has made two presentations at ACS meetings, and has an abstract accepted for the national meeting later this summer.

COMPUTER SCIENCE DEPARTMENT The department is happy to congratulate Guy Kortsarz (Associate Professor) for receiving tenure, and Suneeta Ramaswami for her promotion to Associate Professor with tenure. We are proud of our colleague Michael Palis who became a Fellow of the AAAS (American Association for the Advancement of Science); Mike was one of eleven fellows selected by the AAAS in the Section on Information, Computing and Communication in 2003. We also congratulate our students An-ni Tsai, Ryan Bowman, and Valentina Velez, who were elected to Phi Beta Kappa. The department has now eight faculty members, all enthusiastically active in research, in areas such as approximation algorithms, algorithms for optimization problems, applications to computer and communication networks, complexity of algebraic problems, job scheduling, signal processing, password systems, functional programming and program transformations, computational geometry, and applications to medical imaging. In the academic year 2003-04 they published in total five journal papers, with five more to appear, in prestigious journals like the SIAM Journal of Computing (Kortsarz), the Journal of Functional Programming (Johann), the International Journal of Foundations of Computer Science (Palis), Algorithmica (Ramaswami), and the IEEE Transactions on Information Theory (Hong and Birget). They published four refereed conference papers, with six more to appear (some of which are in the most competitive conferences, like the ACM Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science `STOC' -- Kortsarz). Birget and Hong received an NSF grant for research on graphical password systems, 2003-2005 (this is a collaborative grant involving four universities, with Rutgers-Camden as lead institution). Faculty members served as journal editors (Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing -- Palis), and as program committee members of conferences: Advances in Parallel and Distributed Computational Models IPDPS-2004 (Palis), IEEE International Symposium on Signal Processing and Information Technology ISSPIT'03 (Palis), International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing and Systems PDCS'03 (Palis), International Conference on Ad-hoc Networks and Wireless AdHocNow 2003 (Shende) Faculty members also conducted research projects with undergraduate students (Birget, Gandhi, Hong, Johann, Ramaswami). In the academic year 2003-04 the Department graduated forty-two students (twenty-three with the BS, nineteen with the BA); four of them graduated with highest honors, three with high honors, and eight with honors. There were about 120 computer science majors and six minors. The computer science internship program had thirteen students (six in fall 2003 and seven in spring 2004).

ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT The Department has, according to prevailing records, approximately sixty majors, and seven minors. Some two dozen economics majors and minors were inducted into the Lambda Chapter of Omicron Delta Epsilon, the International Honor Society in Economics. After a national search the department has been fortunate enough to engage the services of Dr. I-Ming Chiu as a full-time faculty member. Dr. Chiu’s specialties are in the field of macroeconomics. Dr. Chiu’s teaching and impressive research agenda will be a welcome addition to the department. The department has engaged in some recent development, and under Dr. Yamada has developed two new courses: Pharmaceutical Economics and Economics of Health Educations and Health Promotion. We believe that these will be popular and useful additions to our undergraduate curriculum.
The department has worked to encourage academic excellence among its majors. To this end, Dr. Yamada has provided research guidance to students in the Omicron Delta Epsilon Honor Society, while Dr. Worrall has supervised several economics internships and sponsored a departmental honors thesis.

ENGLISH DEPARTMENT During the 2003-04 academic year, a total of sixty-six students graduated from the College of Arts and Sciences with a major in English. That number, the second highest in the College, was substantially higher than the total in 2002-03 (58) and 2001-02 (55), reflecting the recent rapid growth of the English major. Among currently registered students, 223 have declared English as their major, a substantial increase from 2003, when there were 187 English majors. An additional twenty-one students are minoring in English. In addition to serving its majors and minors, the English department teaches the entire student body through its service courses in composition, writing, and Masterpieces. A total of 2,102 students were enrolled in English, American literature, Film, Journalism, Linguistics, Writing, and Masterpieces courses in Fall 2003, and 2,140 in Spring 2004, for a grand total of 4,242 enrollments. The growth in the English major is due in part to the curricular revisions that went into effect this year, which have introduced a more global, transnational perspective into the study of literature. The old survey courses, defined by period and divided into “British” and “American,” have been replaced by the series “Literatures in English I, II, and III,” which study literature in a multicultural context. A new course in the methods of reading and writing about literature, “Introduction to Literary Study,” prepares students to read closely and to write well-informed research papers and critical studies. A cross-cultural requirement helps to ensure that students will not graduate with a knowledge only of traditional British and American literatures. In recognition of these efforts at curricular reform, and in particular of the changes in the Composition program introduced by Dr. Holly Blackford, the Reading and Writing director, the English Department received one of the University-wide Human Dignity Awards for 2003-04. In making the award, President Richard McCormick praised the “commitment, passion, and tireless efforts” of the English Department to promote “a diverse and culturally enriching environment” at Rutgers through the composition courses. Among other innovations, Dr. Blackford introduced a “Poster Fair” day that enabled composition students to discuss their research with their peers, and an “Epistolary Exchange” through which composition students engaged in correspondence with students in local urban secondary schools. Dr. Blackford has also created a website, “Writing in Rutgers Education” (WIRE), which supports professors and students in the College’s Writing Intensive courses. Other honors earned by members of the department include the Vassar Miller Prize, won by Dr. Joseph T. Barbarese for his book of poems, The Black Beach, which be published by the University of Texas Press. Dr. Barbarese has also been selected as a Faculty Fellow of the Rutgers Center for Historical Analysis in 2004-05. Dr. Robert M. Ryan won the annual Lindback Foundation Award for Distinguished Teaching, and Dr. Tyler Hoffman was the recipient of a Provost’s Teaching Excellence Award. Dr. Carol Singley received a Bildner Fellowship to build a collection of children’s literature for student research in that subject. Graduate students Paul Wilson and Michael Eck assisted Dr. Geoffrey Sill in curating an exhibit of illustrated editions of Daniel Defoe’s novel, Robinson Crusoe, in the galleries of the Special Collections and University Archives in Alexander Library, which ran from February to June, 2004. Dr. Sill opened the exhibit by giving the nineteenth annual Louis Faugères Bishop III Lecture, illustrated with slides. Dr. Sill received a grant from the New Jersey Committee for the Humanities in support of the exhibit.
The outlook is bright for the study of English in Camden. The department’s offerings have been strengthened through the addition of Dr. Robert O. Lopez, whose specialty is early American and African-American literature, and Dr. Shanyn Fiske, who will teach Victorian literature. Both scholars have a firm foundation in classical literatures and have plans to initiate a new minor in “Ancient Cultures.” Dr. Lopez collaborated with undergraduate student Jaime Corson on a research project on the satires of Juvenal will chair a panel on the subject at a meeting of the Classics Association of the Atlantic States, on which Mr. Corson will be one of the presenters. Both Dr. Lopez and Dr. Fiske are also interested in writing, and hope to take an active role in the Writers House which the department has initiated. The Writers House will serve the campus and community in support of writing of all kinds, but will focus on involving students in the publication of The Painted Bride Quarterly, The Mickle Street Review, and the haiku manuscripts of the late Camden poet Nick Virgilio, a collection that was the basis for a seminar in American and Japanese haiku poetry taught in Spring 2004 by Mr. David Floyd.

FINE ARTS The academic year 2003-2004 has been a continuing year of transition for the Fine Arts Department, a year marked by national searches for, and hiring of new faculty in Theater, Painting, and a Visiting position in Sculpture. Professor Olga Moore, Professor of painting, has joined her former colleagues, Bill Hoffmann and John Giannotti, as Professor Emeritus. Our new faculty are: Margery Amdur, Associate Professor of Art with a focus in Painting, Paul Bernstein, Assistant Professor of Theater; and Elizabeth Demaray, Visiting Assistant Professor of Art, with a focus in Sculpture. The Department continues to grow, with over 160 majors and twenty-five minors, an increase in majors of more than 15% since 2002-3. Although all areas are experiencing growth, the largest and fastest-growing area is the Electronic Arts area of specialization in the Art program, with around seventy-five majors in either Graphic Design or Animation. Students received forty-three BA degrees in Art, Music and Theater in 2003-4. The Teacher Preparation program in the arts continues to grow as well. In addition to offering degrees in art, music and theater, the Fine Arts Department includes programs in Studio Art, Electronic Arts, Art History, Museum Studies, and Musical Theater. Instruction by our excellent full-time faculty is greatly enhanced by a cadre of quality part-time lecturers who include: in Art- Bruce Garrity, Jeff Filbert, Ken Hohing, Juliette Cezzar, and Joe Brenman; in Art History- Dr. Susan Jones and Dr. Debra Miller; in Music-Rebecca Field; in Theater- Nancy Ellis, Larry Biren, Jim Mobley and Ed Shockley. All the efforts of the Department are ably supported by our Secretary Marge Cosgrove. After a complete review and revision last year, the Fine Arts faculty successfully instituted the new curricula in Art, Music, and Theater. Degree requirements and structure, course sequences, course content, and prerequisites were revised, and a large number of courses were added or modified to serve better both Arts majors and the general student. In addition, the Department received a Bildner Diversity Grant, in support of its new Cross-cultural Survey in Art History. Students in all areas of the Fine Arts were actively involved in the life of the department, the college, the campus and the community. The Art Students League mounted several exhibitions in the Campus Center and thirty-one students presented work in the Senior Thesis exhibitions. Theater students Adam Halpin and Mat Wright produced excellent student productions of “Hair” and “Equus,” respectively, and Adam Halpin presented a Senior Showcase in Musical Theater. Fine Arts student organizations were recognized for contributing in substantial ways to the life of the campus. The Art Students League, the Art Student Organization, and Rutgers Underground Theater, the department's student theater organization, won awards for Outstanding Programming from the Rutgers Camden Office of Campus Involvement. Stephen Gardiner, an Art student, won an Undergraduate Research Award. Bridget Urban, a graduating senior in art history and women's studies, won a state-wide award for her research on contemporary women artists' use of body imagery. In addition, students in graphic design and animation shared their expertise with a number of campus departments and community organizations through internships and special projects. Museum Studies interns worked for the National Park Service, the Camden County Historical Society, the Philadelphia Print Collaborative, and the Stedman Gallery. On her own initiative, Art History student Jenny Graham organized and implemented a juried exhibition at the Ethical Society in Philadelphia which featured works by art students at five area colleges of art. The Fine Arts faculty had a productive year in research and creative activity. Martin Rosenberg, Professor of Art History, completed final revisions on his book “Gender Matters in Art Education,” with Frances Thurber. The book is currently in press. Associate Professor of Art History Roberta Tarbell took part in an international sculpture conference in England and was invited to serve as a guest curator for an international touring exhibition “Rodin and America” being mounted by the Stanford University Art Museum. Professor Li Tan received research support for his sabbatical project on “Digital Primitive Art.” Assistant Professors of Art Li Tan and Allan Espiritu had solo exhibitions at the Stedman Gallery. The works of Art faculty were also included in a number of national and international exhibitions. Professor Tan won “Best of Show” for his work in a juried international exhibition of digital arts in Florida. Our faculty in Music and Theater had a productive year of research, creative activity and performance. Distinguished Professor of Music Julianne Baird released a new CD of Gluck's: “Il Parnaso Confuso.” Her concert highlights included performances at the Folger Shakespeare Library and performances and Master Classes for the Hawaii Opera Theater. Assistant Professor of Music Martin Dillon gave a second series of concerts in Turkey. He also released his first CD, “Jungbrunnen,” songs by 20th century German composer Robert Kahn, and gave several performances of Kahn's works. Professor Wilbert Jerome produced another exceptional season of Concerts at Noon, which drew substantial audiences from the campus and community. Professor Martin Dillon continued to direct our growing Musical Theater program, producing two shows: “Noises Off,” directed by Larry Biren, and “Something's Afoot,” with each production involving almost twenty students in acting and support roles. The Madrigal Festival, organized by Professor Baird, brought ensembles from area high schools for a day of instruction and performance in early music. In January, the department, through Professor Baird's efforts, once again hosted the Amherst Early Music Society national meeting, an important event in the area of early music. Fine Arts faculty also contributed substantially to the college, the University, their professional bodies, and the community through professional service. Joe Schiavo served as Secretary of the FAS-Camden Senate, University Senator, and in numerous other posts. Professor Tarbell served on the University Research Council. Professor Baird served on the APC. Fine Arts faculty taught courses in the Freshman Seminar, Honors, Graduate Liberal Studies, Women's Studies, Film Studies, and other campus programs. Dr. Debra Miller and Ken Hohing taught courses in the International Studies program.
Looking toward next year, the Fine Arts Department expects to welcome our new faculty and to complete hiring with a tenure-track search in Sculpture. The Department also expects to develop further its long-range plan and to focus on recruitment, alumni relations and advising.

FOREIGN LANGUAGES DEPARTMENT
This is an exciting time for the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures, with two new faculty members joining us this year and the transition to the college's new general requirements creating a real opportunity for growth and development in our programs.
The most exciting curricular development is probably Ana Laguna's initiative in developing a program in Spanish for the Professions, with courses to be offered beginning this summer, appealing to students interested in developing their ability to use Spanish in their careers, especially in health care, law enforcement, and business. The newly revitalized program in Latin American Studies got underway this year as well, under the acting directorship of Ted Goertzel (Sociology), and our own Carla Giaudrone will take over as director in the coming year. A new course, Introduction to Latin American Studies, was approved for this program. Lastly, we also received approval for four new offerings in German, formalizing the status of Survival German, a popular Winterim offering, and adding significantly to our advanced offerings. The department continues to be active in Summer Session and Winterim, and will offer a course in the Western Monmouth program in Fall 2004. We had special reason to be proud not only of our faculty but also of our students this year. Three graduating seniors, one in each of the languages we teach, were honored by admission into Phi Beta Kappa, and another graduated with honors. Additionally, Teresa Pérez, a senior Spanish major, was awarded a Michele Muncy Academic Excellence Award in 2004 for outstanding performance in the major. As usual, Foreign Languages and Literatures Department faculty members made significant contributions to their professions and to our university. Three colleagues had new books under contract, and a fourth received major grant funding in support of a book in progress. Jonathan Tittler, during his research leave this year, completed his translation of a major novel, which is expected to be published in December 2004. Carla Giaudrone's new monograph was accepted by a Uruguyan publisher. Jean-Louis Hippolyte had a scholarly book accepted for publication by a major university press; he expects to complete it during his Fall 2004 sabbatical. And James Rushing received a Summer Stipend from the National Endowment for the Humanities to support research on his next book. Ana Laguna received a travel grant from the Folger Institute in Washington, DC, to support her participation in a seminar at that prestigious institution. Journal articles, conference papers, and book reviews published by my colleagues are too numerous to mention here. An important initiative undertaken by students in our department was the creation of FLOR, the Foreign Languages Organization of Rutgers University in Camden, organized under the leadership of Jennifer Stephens and sponsored by Carla Giaudrone. An active organization of students interested in our disciplines is an important development for the future of our department. With the new general requirements creating a true foreign language requirement for the first time in many years at Rutgers Camden, and with the infusion of energetic and gifted young faculty that we have experienced in the last two years, the future is exciting for our department. The new requirements, together with the new system of placing incoming students by proficiency testing, present challenges as well as opportunities. Ultimately, the new requirements should result in significantly increased enrollments in our language courses, especially at the elementary and intermediate levels, which should provide an unprecedented opportunity to interest students in taking our upper level courses. At the same time, the demand for our literature, film, and culture courses taught in English may be expected to decrease somewhat, although these courses, too, still have their place in the Arts and Sciences curriculum. But it is difficult to estimate the extent and speed of these shifts in demand, especially considering that significant numbers of students on our campus, especially those heading for majors in the School of Business and the Nursing program, are still under “foreign language” requirements that can be fulfilled by courses taught in English. And it is especially difficult to estimate the year-to-year and semester-to-semester changes in enrollments, as we move, during a four or five year period, from an undergraduate population primarily working under the old requirements to a student body entirely subject to the new requirements. We will do our best to estimate the number of sections and the number of PTLs needed from semester to semester, but it may often be necessary to fine tune our offerings right up to the beginning of each semester, as demand for classes changes.
The new testing program also requires monitoring and management in this period of transition, although we continue to believe that it will prove superior to the old method of simply placing students according to the number of years they have studied a language, given the enormous variability of high school programs and of course of individual talents and achievements. In the first year, we were disappointed in the number of students tested, and the process was also made more difficult by the fact that the placement system relied entirely on New Brunswick algorithms. Progress has been made in these areas: a new set of algorithms unique to Camden are in place, and I believe we have succeeded in clarifying which students should be tested, so that fewer incoming students will fall through the cracks. On the other hand, I am concerned that testing in the foreign languages is only offered on less than half the testing dates for incoming students, which makes it difficult for students entering in mid-summer to be tested. Possible additional changes in the testing system remain to be discussed in the coming year.

HISTORY DEPARTMENT The History Department has concluded another highly successful year, moving forward again in the areas of scholarship and teaching while continuing to serve the University in a multitude of ways that extend beyond the Department and its increasing number of majors. We have been greatly assisted in our endeavors both by our new secretary, Ms. Jacqueline Dunn and by Dr. Lorrin Thomas, currently a postdoctoral fellow. Having written a dissertation on Puerto Rican immigration into New York City, she was hired to fill, starting this coming fall, a newly created position in the area of Latin American and South/North history. At last count, we had 152 majors and six minors, a healthy increase in comparison with Fall 2002 (when we had 126 majors). During 2003-2004, we graduated forty majors. Many students who are not majors take not only our introductory but also our upper-level courses, almost all of which (except for the senior seminars) enroll at least thirty students. Our reputation for solid teaching, in addition to the growth of the campus as a whole, is clearly having a marked effect. We decided to proceed during the coming year to change our offerings and our major requirements in such a way as to highlight world and comparative history as areas of study that will deserve equal billing with the histories of Europe and America. (Dr. Thomas will play a key role in helping to bring this project to fruition.) Our books this year this year were Dr. Lees’s edition of Alice Salomon, Character Is Destiny (University of Michigan Press) and Dr. Janet Golden’s Children and Youth in Sickness and in Health: A Historical Handbook and Guide, which she co-edited for Greenwood Press. In addition Dr. Jake Soll edited a special issue of the Journal of the History of Ideas, on The Uses of Historical Evidence in Early Modern Europe and Dr. Lees saw publication of Germany (in German) of a lengthy essay on social reform in the nineteenth century. Meanwhile, Dr. Golden moved forward with the production of her Message in a Bottle: The Making of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (forthcoming from Harvard University Press) and Dr. Soll gained acceptance, from the University of Michigan Press, for his Publishing the Prince: History, Reading, and the Birth of Political Criticism, 1513-1789. Three members of the Department who were on leave for the year laid further groundwork for future successes. Dr. Laurie Bernstein began to draft Children of the Motherland: Orphans in Soviet Russia. Dr. Philip Scranton, who held a prestigious fellowship at the Smithsonian Institution, continued with the research for a book that will be titled Fabricating Innovation: Specialty Production in Cold War America. Dr. Allen Woll, who published two articles, continued his research into American popular culture during the Second World War. In addition, Dr. Jeffery Dorwart, while continuing to teach very large classes, made progress on what he anticipates will be his ninth book, on New Jersey at War. Approximately forty students took sections of the senior seminar, for which they wrote research papers of at least twenty pages, either on the history of the Delaware Valley or on the history of Nazi Germany. Two students, Chris Maisano and Vicki Hewitt, wrote much more substantial papers as candidates for honors degrees (Maisano on “The Life and Thought of Sarah Norcliffe Cleghorn,” an American writer; Hewitt on “Pacifists Abroad in an Age of Total War: The American Friends Service Committee and Its Allies in Germany, 1919-1947,” which won a Dean’s Award for Undergraduate Research). Department members continue to contribute mightily to the College and the University, providing direction as follows: Dr. Woll, Honors College and Film Studies; Dr. Bernstein, Women’s Studies; Dr. Wayne Glasker, African-American Studies; and Dr. Howard Gillette, the Mid-Atlantic Regional Center for the Humanities (for which he raised over $300,000!). Many of us are also active as members of editorial boards, professional associations, or referees for presses and promotion cases at other universities.
We look forward to several projects that pertain to personnel. Dr. Soll will be considered for promotion to associate professor with tenure, and Dr. Golden will be considered for promotion to full professor. Resignations by two assistant professors, Drs. Katherine Carté Engel and Xiao-Bin Ji, will lead to searches for tenure-track replacements, in the areas of early American and East Asian history. The second of these will be crucial for implementing the curricular developments referred to above.

MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT
The Undergraduate Mathematics Program continued to expand during the Academic Year 2003-2004. The number of undergraduate mathematics majors is increasing steadily (with total over forty). There was a steady increase in students who have chosen elementary or secondary education as their majors. The department initiated and taught the new course “Mathematical Reasoning with Proofs” and this course enhances the students’ skills in proving mathematical results. There is a strong interest in the revitalized Applied and Computational Mathematics track especially for students double majoring in Computer Science. This fall we also offer “Linear Mathematics and Game Theory,” a new course that targets applied mathematics majors.
The scholarship of the faculty members of the Department of Mathematical Sciences is exceptional. This is exemplified by the high quality publications in topnotch mathematics journals such as the Journal of Algebra, the Transactions of the American Mathematical Society and the Journal of Differential Geometry. Our faculty members are found as participants of major conferences around the world. This year faculty members visited Australia, China and Canada, to mention but a few. Two faculty members are recipients of research grants from the National Science Foundation.

NURSING DEPARTMENT
The Department of Nursing has ninety majors in the junior and senior years. There are usually about another eighty pre-nursing students in this college at any given time. The department graduated thirty-four students this Spring. Five of the graduates are registered nurses (Advanced Placement Students). Twenty-nine RUCCAS nursing graduates will take the National Council Licensing Examination (NCLEX) this summer. Last year's (2003) passing rate for RUCCAS was 97%. The incoming junior class to the nursing major includes forty-one generic and transfer students. The profile includes 95% females and 5% males. There are 59% Caucasians and 41% minorities. RUCCAS number of applicants for the nursing major continue to rise matching the national statistics. Interest in this major continues to rise as people identify the current nursing shortage projected to go well into the 21st century with future job security. Unfortunately, the department cannot take more than forty generic students into the major without additional resources. The current national nursing faculty shortage has affected nursing programs across the country. Shortages of doctorally prepared nurse researcher faculty are even more acute.
The department has had two faculty resignations, one faculty going on FASP leave for Fall 2004, and one faculty going out on a two year fellowship leave. The department is under tremendous pressure in maintaining its program excellence and scholarly/research productivity. Faculty scholarship productivity has increased this year. Six faculty have had numerous refereed and non-refereed works published. Four have been invited to present their work at national and international conferences. Dr. Ashton has received over $50,000 in grant support for her “Teen Esteem” project in Trenton. Dr. Callaghan has received a Rutgers Research Council grant and Dr. Puentes has received a Rutgers Busch grant to support their research. Several have received small grants to support their programs of research. Dr. Kathleen Ashton has received the New Jersey State Nurses Association Institute for Nursing Research Award for 2004. Dr. William Puentes has been named a John A. Hartford Foundation Building Academic Geriatric Nursing Capacity Scholar and will be on Fellowship leave for two years. Dr. Kathleen Ashton has received the New Jersey State Nurses Association CARE Award for Excellence in Nursing Education 2004.
Volunteerism continues within the department. Students have again participated in numerous community activities through the Student Nurses Association under the direction of Ms. Nancy Cresse. Activities have included collecting clothing for CARE women's shelter, preparing dinners for parents residing at the Ronald McDonald House, and co-hosting a first grade literacy class with the Learning Resource Center. Dr. Ashton will again travel to Peru this summer as a volunteer Advanced Practice Nurse.

PHILOSOPHY & RELIGION DEPARTMENT The department continues to be in a growth period benefitting from new initiatives in our curriculum and national trends that indicate a surge of student interest in philosophy and religion. In May 2004, nine students majoring in our department received their degrees, up from four the previous year. This number includes two religion majors, up from one last year. We also had two graduating students who completed major research projects for Departmental Honors, a program we introduced last year. One of these students was this year's winner of the Hugh White Religion Prize and focused her research on the psychological impact of being a minister's child. The Howard Stuckert Philosophy Award was shared by Mandie Maxie, who will be going on to graduate school in social work, and Tom Frydel, who did an Honors project on neo-Freudian social philosopher Erich Fromm. One student from the graduate MALS program completed her capstone study with Professor Charmé on Neuro-theology. At the other end of the academic spectrum, one of our new freshman philosophy majors presented a paper at a student philosophy conference at the New School in New York and was the youngest participant there. Strong enrollment and interest in our department suggest further growth. Currently we estimate that there are twenty to twenty-five majors in our department. On curriculum matters, the department introduced a new minor in Ethics this year. In response to a suggestion from our external reviewers' report, the department evaluated the requirements for the major in comparison with programs at other U.S. colleges. In response, the department decided to lower the number of credits required for the major to thirty, effective in Fall 2004. All the faculty continued to work on their long-term research projects. Professor Wall received a Research Council Grant for a new project on religious attitudes toward child-rearing, had four peer-reviewed articles accepted for publication, and gave four academic conference presentations as well as a variety of other talks. Professor Charmé made two conference presentations and discussed his recent documentary film at screenings in New York and London. The Philosophy Society, under the leadership of Tom Frydel, continued its stimulating and provocative series of luncheon discussions. Department faculty served on a number of faculty committees. John Wall has been very involved in the Childhood Studies Center where he gave a presentation in its lunch series and serves on two committees related to the Center and its programs. Stuart Charmé has continued his advocacy for students at the college as a whole through the new Freshman Seminar Program of which he is director.
We are very pleased about the positive trends in our department, particularly the emergence of a more substantial cohort of majors and minors.

The number of students in the department remains small but steady. There are currently five majors and one minor enrolled in the program. At this year's commencement, three students graduated. The quality of the students remains high. One of our students, Nicholas Nuar, was selected for a competitive summer internship at University of Pittsburgh. Professor John Gagliardi presented a paper, “Can Tubulin Act as an Electrostatic “Motor”?” at the Biophysical Society 48th Annual Meeting in Baltimore in February. He also had a paper appear in the Proceedings of the Electrostatics Society of America 2004 Annual Meeting. Professor Cowley supervised a research project conducted by a local high school teacher, Timothy Clarke, as a part of the Partners in Science program. They presented their results at the Partners in Science conference in San Diego in January.

POLITICAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT
The Political Science Department now serves 123 majors and more than twenty minors in political science. It graduated thirty-six majors in 2004. Political science majors complement their in-class studies with hands-on experience as interns for legislators and non-governmental organizations, as well as through work in political campaigns. During the past year, students have held internships on the offices of various federal and state legislators, as well as with the Camden County Prosecutors Office and the United States Investigations Service. Professor Russell Harrison (on leave 2003-2004) serves as coordinator of departmental internships. Student organizations associated with the Department include the Political Science Society and the Pre-Law Society. In 2003-2004 the Pre-Law Society, under the direction of Keanna Ralph and Francesca Bilyard, was particularly active, sponsoring a series of speakers discussing legal careers and providing assistance with the law school admission process. Several political science majors have received recognition for their academic accomplishments and their public service contributions. Three majors--John Miller, Keanna Ralph, and Jared Taber--were inducted into Phi Beta Kappa. Scott Owens received the Edward Blaustein Award for Community Service. David Healy received the Dean's Undergraduate Research Award for his outstanding honors thesis. Seventeen students were inducted into Pi Sigma Alpha, the national political science honor society. Five students—Noni Bookbinder-Bell, David Healy, Melissa Saler, Jared Taber, and Christopher Vigale--received Jack Marvin Weiner Memorial Awards from the Department, and Christopher Maisano received the Robert Packard Memorial Award.
In March, 2004, Professor Kim Shienbaum organized and moderated a highly successful conference entitled “Has Islam Been Hijacked?” that featured speakers Walid Phares and Jamal Hasan. She is currently co-editing a book that advances the themes addressed at the conference. The Department has provided opportunities for student research through its honors program, open to outstanding juniors and seniors majoring in political science. Each year about ten students complete honors theses under the supervision of departmental faculty, and the Department annually presents an award for the outstanding thesis. The Department's undergraduates may also get a taste of graduate study through the joint B.A./M.A. program conducted with the Department of Public Policy and Administration. The Political Science Department has provided significant service to the campus and beyond its borders. Department faculty teach in various graduate programs (e.g., Liberal Studies and Public Administration and Public Policy) and in interdisciplinary undergraduate programs (e.g., African-American Studies, American Studies, the Honors Program, and Women's Studies). Administratively, Richard Harris serves as director of the Rand Institute, and Alan Tarr serves as pre-law adviser, as the director of the Center for State Constitutional Studies, and as co-director of the American Studies Program. Within the next few years, the Political Science Department contemplates expanding its membership and course offerings, while continuing its commitment to excellent teaching, rigorous scholarship, and effective public service.

PSYCHOLOGY DEPARTMENT Psychology continues to be the most popular major in the college. As of Spring 2004, the department had 402 majors. The department has almost 135 graduating seniors, and thirty minors. The psychology faculty had a very productive year. Among the highlights, Dr. Naomi Marmorstein received a research grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse in the amount of $77,750 to conduct research on child psychopathology and risk for drug use disorders. Dr. Whitlow along with Dr. Wogan (professor emeritus) received a major research instrumentation grant from NSF in the amount of $31,000 to purchase an eye movement monitor. This will be used in research dealing with sexual offenders. As the accompanying list of individual scholarly accomplishments indicates, the department has produced a substantial number of new publications. Our junior faculty members have been particularly productive: Charlotte Markey had three published articles and one article “in press”; Karen Thierry published two research articles and two book chapters; Kate Bezrukova and Naomi Marmorstein each published one article. Altogether, the junior faculty also had fourteen presentations at professional conferences. Most notable among the senior faculty was Bill Tucker who published two articles and presented two invited talks. I should also mention that Mary Bravo, an accomplished researcher in the field of vision, was promoted to associate professor with tenure. The faculty has also continued to involve students in our research. Among other examples, psychology majors have worked with Charlotte Markey researching the relationship between religious affiliation and various indices of health. Their research was presented in a poster session at the meeting of the Eastern Psychological Association. In addition, students worked with Kate Bezrukova looking at group fault lines in NATO peacekeepers; with Naomi Marmorstein, studying the effectiveness of parent training programs; with Bill Whitlow looking at human causal reasoning which will result in a presentation at a meeting of the Psychonomic Society; and with Luis Garcia studying the relationship between acculturation in Hispanics and sexually risky behaviors. Our students have also enjoyed the opportunity for various experiences in the field. Among the internships available this past year, psychology majors have assisted in special education classes, worked one-on-one with autistic children, and helped to conduct medical research at a local hospital.
The department still maintains its long tradition of service to the Camden community. Bill Whitlow is involved in developing an Environmental Health and Wellness Center in the Waterfront South area. Dan Hart continues to be involved with the STARR project for which he received the Ernest E. McMahon Award for Program Excellence last year. This program combines community service, sports, and education to foster the development of responsibility in Camden teenagers. Finally, Luis Garcia is serving on the Board of Trustees for the LEAP Academy.

Van Til also accepted a summer position as Anna Dean Carlson Distinguished Visiting Chair at West Virginia University. Students continue to gain acceptance in graduate programs in city planning at U. of Penn, Rutgers, and elsewhere. A recent graduate has just started her Ph.D. in planning at the Bloustein School. Students enrolled in the Program's Community Scholars program served, once again this year, in a number of front-line positions with Camden-based community organizations. Funded by the Wachovia Bank and the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, the Community Scholars program gives invited students from the Urban Studies Program the chance to put their research and action skills into practice in the urban community. In addition, three Urban Studies students (Amy Sampson, Kurt Kremstein and Brad Gudzinas) were named Housing Scholars by DCA for Summer 2004. This highly selective program involves an intensive applied research and action experience for the top urban studies students in New Jersey. Through such programs as Community and Housing Scholars, and the efforts of individual faculty members working with other community-based programs (Greenways, Regional Legal Services, Fairview Historic Society, Empowerment Zone, etc.), faculty and students in the program maintain an active role contributing to the redevelopment of Camden and its many neighborhoods.
The program receives excellent administrative and leadership support from its parent department, and anticipates providing continuing service to students, college, and community in the years ahead.

SOCIOLOGY, ANTHROPOLOGY, AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE DEPARTMENT The Department of Sociology, Anthropology and Criminal Justice offers major and minor programs in sociology and criminal justice and a minor in anthropology as well. As of March 2004, there were 163 majors in criminal justice, ninety-six majors in sociology, and forty-three minors in one or another of the three programs. In May 2004, fifty-eight students graduated with a major in criminal justice, and thirty-nine in sociology. Building on the curricular strengths recognized in the department’s receipt of the Rutgers’ Award for Programmatic Excellence in Undergraduate Education in 2003, the department solicited and received a Rutgers Dialogs grant to increase effective learning in large classrooms. This included experimentation with wireless student response systems, the use of WebCT for MicroCase exercise submission and grading, and the creation of further streaming video tutorials. Preliminary experiences and findings were presented at a well-attended faculty seminar in April. A second criminal justice international studies trip went to South Africa in April, accompanied not only by Professor Jon’a Meyer but by federal judge and Rutgers-Camden alumnus the Hon. Joel B. Rosen as well. The department’s continuing development of its web-enhanced curriculum was highlighted in an article in the July 2004 debut issue of Innovate, a new journal of online education. Faculty research awards during the year included Professor Drew Humphries’ receipt of the Outstanding Scholar of the Year Award from the Division of Women and Crime of the American Society of Criminology and Professor Myra Bluebond-Langner’s receipt of a National Endowment for the Humanities fellowship. Professor Ted Goertzel published an updated version of Cradles of Eminence, originally published by his parents in 1962. Over a dozen articles by department faculty appeared in refereed journals and edited books. Department members sit on the editorial boards of Journal of Political and Military Sociology, Journal of Offender Rehabilitation, Lexicon: A Journal of Law and Crime, Women and Criminal Justice, Social Justice, Journal of Criminal Justice Education, Mortality, Omega, Clinical Child Psychology and Psychiatry, Annals of Tourism Research, Tourist Studies, and Innovate: Journal of Online Education. Student research was on display at the sixth annual Undergraduate Research Poster Session in May, cosponsored with the Psychology Department. Also in cooperation with the Psychology Department, the department continued its service learning project, Bridging the Digital Divide in Camden. Criminal justice students interned at Camden County Prosecutor's Office, Camden County Public Defender's Office, Camden County Family Court Division, Camden County Sexual Assault and Victim Services: Rape Crisis Center, U.S. Public Defender's Office, U.S. Federal Marshall's Office, N.J. Adult Parole Division, and N.J. Juvenile Justice Commission. A much-anticipated study tour to explore Gullah culture in the outer islands off of South Carolina, funded in part with the department’s programmatic excellence award money, had to be cancelled due to Professor Hazzard-Donald’s medical leave in the spring. However, the department looks forward to her return and the rescheduling of this exciting opportunity for students in the coming year.
