BIOLOGY DEPARTMENT The number of Biology majors as of Spring 2005 was 119 as well as eight Medical Technology majors. Four students are minoring in Biology. There were 28 Biology graduates this year. 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. Dr. Heike Bücking, the newest member of our department, has published several peer reviewed papers over the past year including a collaborative paper currently in press in Nature, one of the most prestigious scientific journals in the world. This very important paper is entitled “Nitrogen transfer in the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis”. Dr. Daniel Shain received the prestigious Rutgers Board of Trustees Fellowship for Excellence in Research, and he continues work on a new National Science Foundation grant ($426,000 over three years) to pursue his studies on the unique molecular properties of leech cocoons. Dr. Joseph Martin is PI on a new NSF grant for $305,149 entitled "Acquisition of Instruments for Biosample Analyses in Research and Teaching" (Co-PIs: Drs. Dighton, Sarkar, and Shain, also from Biology). He is also a co-PI on a $923,779 National Institutes of Health/National Institute on Drug Abuse grant entitled "SPARC2000+: Science Fair Drug Abuse Science Literacy" (PI: Whitlow, Psychology). This grant will support a program to enhance science projects among high school students of the Camden area. He is also the facilitator for an effort to create a new program in Computational and Integrative Biology, which promises to be one of three programs to bring Ph.D. level training to this campus. Dr. Hsin-yi Lee continues 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 Dr. Nagele from UMDNJ at Strattford and is supported by the Alzheimer's Association ($265,000). Dr. John Dighton continues his successful activities to build up the research and instructional capabilities of the Rutgers Pinelands Field Station. Dr. William Saidel continues his studies on “Elements as tracers in ear otoliths and soft tissue of Bluefish” with external funding from the national Sea Grant program. This project is especially noteworthy because its initiation required the availability of our recently completed NSF funded electron microscopy facility. The department continues to participate fully in the College’s teaching mission. Dr. Robert Evans 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. Dr. John Dighton was honored with a GS-NB Faculty Teaching Award this spring, further evidence of his and the Department’s commitment to excellence in both undergraduate and graduate teaching. Ms. Charlene Sayers worked diligently to secure desperately needed internal funding from the Dean’s Office to upgrade teaching laboratory equipment and microscopes. Another sign of the department’s commitment to high quality teaching is the fact that about half of our undergraduates are able to 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 students as co-authors and encourage their students to present the results of their research at local and national scientific meetings.

COMPUTER SCIENCE DEPARTMENT In the academic year 2004-05 the Department graduated 28 students (19 with the BS, nine with the BA); one of them graduated with highest honors, one with high honors, and three with honors. There were 88 computer science majors. The computer science internship program had 10 students. The department's eight faculty members had an active year in research, teaching and service. Altogether they published six refereed journal papers, with 14 more papers to appear, covering areas such as approximation algorithms, 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. These works appear in prestigious journals like the Journal of Algorithms, the SIAM Journal on Computing, the Journal of the ACM, the SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics, the IEEE Transactions on Computers, Fundamenta Informaticae, the International Journal of Human-Computer Studies, the International Journal of Algebra and Computation, International Journal of Computational Geometry and Applications. The faculty also published nine refereed conference papers (with one more to appear), some of which are in the most competitive conferences. Dr. Johann received a three-year NSF grant for research on program transformations. Faculty members (Jean-Camille Birget, Rajiv Gandhi, Daweii Hong, Patricia Johann, Suneeta Ramaswami) also conducted research with a students. In particular, one student, Jon Pospischil, under the direction of Dr. Patricia Johann, won a Dean's Undergraduate Research Award; and another student, Vijay Kothari, worked on computational geometry with Dr. Suneeta Ramaswami with funding from an NSF grant. Faculty members served as journal, and as program committee members of conferences. During this academic year the faculty reviewed the undergraduate curriculum in order to adjust it to the most recent ACM guidelines. The changes will go into effect stepwise, starting in Fall 2005. The department submitted a proposal for a Master of Science program in computer science, to begin in Fall 2006. In all this, the department followed the advice of the (very positive) external evaluation that the department had in 2004. The department was represented in several campus committees (especially by Dr. Michael Palis). The departmental web site was redesigned (http://cs.camden.rutgers.edu/); most information about the department, its programs and its faculty are available from this site.

ENGLISH DEPARTMENT In May 2005, 57 English majors received Bachelor of Arts degrees, a 14% decline from the bumper crop of 66 in May 2004. There are currently 197 undergraduate English majors and 27 minors in various fields, including English and American literature, Film, Journalism, and Writing. About 80 English majors are seeking certification as elementary or secondary school teachers. Faculty from the department of English administer and teach in the programs in undergraduate and graduate Liberal Studies, International Studies, American Studies, Women’s Studies, World Masterpieces, and Composition. Honors received by faculty of the department include the Scholar-Teacher Award, won by Geoffrey Sill; the Camden Alumni Association Outstanding Faculty Award, presented to William Lutz; a Fulbright Scholarship, held by M. A. Rafey Habib; the Provost’s Award for Excellence in Teaching, given to Lisa Zeidner; and the 2004 Vassar Miller Prize in Poetry, awarded to Joseph T. Barbarese for his book, The Black Beach. Carol Singley and Holly Blackford both won continuations of their Bildner Foundation Diversity Fellowships. College-wide honors won by English students include the Camden Alumni Association University College Award for leadership and service to the campus, given to Debra Smart, and the Camden Alumni Association Writing Award, given to Ryan Sylvester. Undergraduates Nagehan Bayindir, Kristin Bentley, and Elizabeth Gallagher researched and produced a list of multicultural fairy tales in conjunction with the Literature of Childhood course taught by Carol Singley, whose work was supported by a Bildner Fellowship. The list included 100 books that are being purchased by the Robeson Library and added to the permanent collection. Professor Singley also encouraged Rose Ann Noll, a student in her undergraduate course “Emily Dickinson and Her Peers” course, to revise her explication of Emily Dickinson's poem “Hope is a Thing with Feathers” for publication. Karen Deaver, a student in Geoffrey Sill’s course, “Introduction to Graduate Literary Study,” published her explication of John Updike’s mock-romantic sonnet, “No More Access to Her Underpants,” in the Spring 2005 issue of The Explicator. Critical reading and creative writing continue to be the focal points of the department’s activity. Our faculty was strengthened by the addition of Shanyn Fiske, a scholar of Victorian Studies, and Lauren Grodstein, author of the novel Reproduction is the Flaw of Love and other works. We moved closer to the establishment of a Writers’ House on campus with a benefit reading given by the poet Robert Pinsky on April 10, and we celebrated the 150th anniversary of Leaves of Grass with an international conference on “Whitman and Place,” held on April 21-23. The Spring Writers’ Conference on April 9 featured readings by Jill Bialosky, Terrance Hayes, Gish Jen and other writers. We will search next year for a rhetorician to replace William Lutz, who has retired. Despite the slight decline in the number of graduates this year, the outlook remains bright for the study of literature and writing in Camden. All of our newly-hired junior faculty are excellent scholars and teachers and all have contributions to make to the new Ph.D. program in Childhood Studies. Our proposal for a Writers’ House on campus is attracting interest and financial support from alumni, students, and friends. The election of Timothy Martin as Department Chair, succeeding Geoffrey Sill, ensures three more years of strong and effective leadership for the department of English.

FINE ARTS The Department continues to grow, with 125 majors and 25 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 75 majors in either Graphic Design or Animation. Students received 33 BA degrees in Art, Music, and Theater in 2004-5. The Teacher Preparation program in the arts continues to grow as well with around 20 students. 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. All the efforts of the Department are ably supported by our Secretary Marge Cosgrove. Academic year 2004-2005 has been a continuing year of transition for the Fine Arts Department, a year marked by hiring of new full-time faculty in Sculpture and Photography, completing the process of replacing faculty who have left the University over the last five years. Our new faculty hired last year and this year are: Margery Amdur, Associate Professor of Art with a focus in Painting, Paul Bernstein, Assistant Professor of Theater, and Kenneth Hohing, Assistant Instructor in Photography. Elizabeth Demaray, who served as Visiting Assistant Professor of Art with a focus in Sculpture this year, has been hired into a tenure-track position. After a complete review and revision in 2003, the Fine Arts faculty successfully instituted the new curricula in Art, Music, and Theater. We are in the process of refining these requirements for the new catalog. Degree requirements and structure, course sequences, course content and prerequisites have been 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 3rd year of the 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 27 students presented work in the Senior Thesis exhibitions. Graphic design, animation, and studio art students won awards or had work included in juried exhibitions. More than 40 students were involved in theater and musical theater productions. More than 15 students were in our Madrigal Group under the direction of Professor Julianne Baird, and more than 100 students each semester participated in the Rutgers Choir under Professor Martin Dillon’s direction. Kyle Jakubowski directed and performed Pinter’s “A Slight Ache” as a Senior Project. 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 Newark Museum of Art, the Rosenbach Museum and the Stedman Gallery. Students worked with a faculty committee and the Campus Center to create a new student gallery in the Center, which will open in the Fall of 2005. Paul Bernstein, our new Theater professor, wrote, with student assistance, produced and directed an original play The Passenger List, a production which involved over 20 students. Professor Martin Dillon continued to direct our growing Musical Theater program, producing Nunsense, with the production involving almost 20 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. Martin Rosenberg also worked with the Stedman Gallery to mount the exhibition “Women of the Book: Jewish Artists, Jewish Themes” and to present an interdisciplinary symposium and other programming. Professor Jerry Jerome produced another excellent series of Concerts at Noon, which serve the faculty, students, and community. 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,which is currently in press. Associate Professor of Art History Roberta Tarbell did research for her role as guest curator for an international touring exhibition “Rodin and America” being mounted by the Stanford University Art Museum and served as discussant at two professional meetings. Two of Professor Tarbell’s students will be involved in the Rodin research through a University Undergraduate Research award. Professor Li Tan had numerous solo and group exhibitions of his “Digital Primitive Art, including exhibitions in Philadelphia and Toronto. Associate Professor of Art Margery Amdur had a solo exhibition at the Stedman Gallery and several group exhibitions in the Philadelphia area. The works of Art faculty were also included in a number of national and international exhibitions. Our faculty in Music and Theater had a productive year of research, creative activity and performance. Distinguished Professor of Music Julianne Baird released several new Cds, including: Gluck’s: “Il Parnasoo confuso,” Gluck’s “LA Corona,” and Handel’s “Gloria,” among others. Her concert highlights included performances at Carnegie Hall, the Kimmel Center, and several concerts in Russia. Assistant Professor of Music Martin Dillon gave a second series of concerts in Turkey. He also released his second CD, “Jungbrunnen,” songs by 20th century German composer Robert Kahn, and gave several performances of Kahn’s works. Professor Paul Bernstein gave a number of solo performances and readings in New York and other locations. Fine Arts faculty also contributed substantially to the college, the University, their professional bodies, and the community through professional service. Joe Schiavo served as Faculty Senator-at-Large, as a Alumni Association Board Member, and in numerous other posts. Professor Tarbell served on the University Research Council. Professor Rosenberg served as alternate on the APC. Professors Baird and Rosenberg served on the Dean’s Advisory Development Committee. Fine Arts faculty taught courses in the Freshman Seminar, Honors, Graduate Liberal Studies, Women’s Studies, Film Studies, International Studies, Latin-American Studies, and other campus programs. Looking toward next year, the Fine Arts Department expects to complete the revamping of the curriculum, which began in 2002. The Department also expects to develop further its long-range plan and to focus on recruitment, alumni relations, and advising.

FOREIGN LANGUAGES DEPARTMENT
The Department had majors and minors in the following order of magnitude: The numbers listed here show little change from those of the past three years. There continues to be modest growth in the study of the Spanish language, mostly at the elementary level. In the coming fall we will introduce elementary Italian. It is hoped the new course will draw students from Spanish, while not diminishing significantly enrollments in French or German. As in most foreign language departments, enrollments are pyramidal. In general, however, there is little flow from the elementary levels upward; most students stop after completing the foreign language requirement at the 102 level. Intermediate students (who are almost all declared minors and majors) tend to come directly from high school or as transfer students from other colleges or universities. The exception to the pyramid are courses taught in English translation, which often fill a class of 45 or twice that if an additional section is opened. A slightly worrisome trend this year, directly attributable to the crime wave and negative publicity regarding Camden last November-December, is the loss of two major students from French and two from German to the respective programs at Rutgers-New Brunswick. We are in essence being used as a junior college for the main campus. In addition to the aforementioned introduction of Italian, Carla Giaudrone initiated 590:210 Introduction to Latin American Studies, an interdisciplinary course supported by a Bildner Diversity Fellowship. Ana Laguna established a three-course option in practical Spanish: 940:225 Spanish for Business; 940:226 Spanish for the Legal Professions; and 940:227 Spanish for the Health Professions. And a special course on French drama of the 17th century, taught by Bernadette Hoefel, a doctoral student in French, was offered at West Monmouth. The totally digitalized Language Resource Center opened for the Spring 2005 semester, providing a solid base for the language acquisition operation. The faculty cooperated with a diversity of programs beyond the department, including the Teacher Preparation Program, Freshman Seminar, College Honors, Master of Liberal Studies, University College, Women’s Studies, World Masterpieces, Film Studies, Latin American Studies programs, and the Graduate School at Rutgers-New Brunswick. Outstanding achievement among our students was recognized in the form of six students being elected to Phi Beta Kappa. One graduate in Spanish was accepted into three masters programs in translation and interpreting. Among the faculty, Carla Giaudrone was awarded a Bildner Diversity Grant for a second time. Both Ana Laguna and Carla Giaudrone were awarded Rutgers University Research Council Summer Grants. James Rushing received a National Endowments for the Humanities Summer Stipend to do archival research on medieval manuscripts in several countries in western Europe. Jean-Louis Hippolyte was reappointed for a three-year term as assistant professor of French. And Rutgers-New Brunswick doctoral student Bernadette Hoefer, under the tutelage of Louise Horowitz, was awarded a Junior Fellowship from the Harvard Society of Fellows. As concerns scholarship, all faculty members contributed to their fields of study with conference papers, invited lectures, articles, reviews, or chapters in books, and some held important editorial positions on professional journals. James Rushing published four chapters in four different scholarly books. Jonathan Tittler had a book published, El verbo y el mando: Vida y milagros de Gustavo Alvarez Gardeazábal, a political-literary biography of a Colombian writer. Department faculty gave service to the College and University in the form of conscientious student advising, sponsorship of student organizations, maintenance of the departmental website, and participation in many committees and deliberative bodies. Service to the community included three major activities: Senior Spanish Major Rebecca Sanders intiated an online Study Abroad Directory to facilitate communication between students who have already studied abroad and those who would like to undertake such an experience. Ana Laguna participated in President McCormick’s traveling seminar, dubbed Garden State 101, and spent a week traveling about New Jersey, seeing its landscapes and meeting its people. Jonathan Tittler contributed to Camden Water Watch, translating into Spanish advisory posters on fish consumption and water quality for use along the Delaware and Cooper Rivers. The outlook for the future, once again, is guardedly confident. With a projected 20-30% reduction in admitted students for the coming year, Foreign Languages & Literatures expects to take its share of that reduction. Lower overall enrollments may translate into classes so small at the advanced level that they must be run as independent studies. On the up side, though, with our faculty at full strength, a brand-new Language Resource Center, the debut of courses in elementary Italian, a full-time Assistant Instructor, and innovative courses in practical Spanish, the program has an internal dynamism more than sufficient to withstand the temporary setback in admissions.

HISTORY DEPARTMENT At last count, we had 163 majors and eight minors, a healthy increase in comparison with our numbers last year, when we had 152 majors. During 2004-1005, we graduated forty-two 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. 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. Ably assisted by our secretarial assistant, Ms. Jacqueline Dunn, we believe that we are making strong contributions to our discipline and our home institution. We have changed the description of 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. The change will become fully apparent when the new catalogue is printed. Two members of the Department saw the publication of impressive monographs. Dr. Janet Golden’s Message in a Bottle: The Making of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome was published by Harvard University Press and Dr. Jake Soll’s Publishing the Prince: History, Reading, and the Birth of Political Criticism was published by the University of Michigan Press. Over forty students took sections of the senior seminar, for which they wrote research papers of at least twenty pages, on the history of the Delaware Valley, on American women’s history, or on the history of Nazi Germany. Under the direction of Dr. Lees, Benjamin Bryant, wrote an honors thesis over 100 pages in length, “A Disillusioned World,” in which he examined differing memories of the First World War. Department members continued to contribute mightily to the College and the University, providing direction as follows: Dr. Allen Woll, Honors College and Film Studies; Dr. Laurie Bernstein, Women’s Studies; Dr. Wayne Glasker, African-American Studies; and Dr. Howard Gillette, the Mid-Atlantic Regional Center for the Humanities. Dr. Phillip Scranton served as a campus representative on the university-wide Committee on Standards, Priorities, and Development. Also, Dr. Lees began a year of service as the chairperson of the Local Arrangements Committee for the upcoming meetings of the American Historical Association. In addition, many of us have been active as members of editorial boards, professional associations, or referees for presses and promotion cases at other universities. In the short run, we look forward to welcoming to our ranks Dr. Andrew Shankman, a specialist on political movements in the United States around 1800 who has already produced impressive publications. Technically, Dr. Elizabeth VanderVen, a specialist on twentieth-century China whom we also hired this past year, will become a member of the Department too. Because she will be a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Chicago, she will not actually arrive on campus until the fall of 2006. We shall nonetheless be offering several courses on the history of Asia, as well as on other areas of the world, ranging from the ancient Near East to modern Latin America. Our world is big, and its history is long, and we shall continue to try to illuminate more and more of both.

MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT
The Undergraduate Mathematics Program continued to expand during the Academic Year 2004-2005. The number of undergraduate mathematics majors is increasing steadily (with 39 mathematics majors and six students double majoring in mathematics and computer science). There was a steady increase in students who have chosen pursue elementary or secondary certification. The department initiated and taught the new course "Mathematical Reasoning with Proofs" and this course enhances the students' skills in proving mathematical results. This course is now required for mathematics majors. There is a strong interest in the revitalized Applied and Computational Mathematics track, especially for students double majoring in Computer Science. We also initiated and taught "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 Austria, Brazil, China, Japan, and Sweden, to mention but a few. Three faculty members are recipients of research grants from the National Science Foundation and the National Security Agency.

NURSING DEPARTMENT
The Department of Nursing has 90 majors in the junior and senior years. There are usually about another 150 pre-nursing students in this college at any given time. The department graduated 38 students this Spring 2005. Six of the graduates are registered nurses (Advanced Placement Students). Thirty-two RUCCAS nursing graduates will take the National Council Licensing Examination (NCLEX) this summer. Last year's (2004) passing rate for RUCCAS was 97%. The incoming junior class to the nursing major includes 40 generic and transfer students. The profile includes 85% females and 15% males. There are 65% Caucasians and 35% 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. There were 110 applicants this year for 40 places. Unfortunately, the department cannot take more than 40 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 one faculty resignation, one faculty going on FASP leave for Fall 2005, and one faculty out on a two year fellowship leave. The department is under tremendous pressure in maintaining its program excellence and scholarly/research productivity. The new School Nurse Certificate Program had seventeen nurses complete the program in December and attain their certifications. The program has been temporarily suspended due to changes in state regulations which will necessitate major curriculum adjustments and additional resources in order to continue. Faculty scholarship productivity continues. Four faculty have had numerous refereed and non-refereed works published. Four have been invited to present their work at national and international conferences. Dr. Callaghan received a Rutgers Research Council grant and won the prestigious New Jersey Institute for Nursing Research Award for the second time in three years. Several other faculty have received small grants to support their programs of research. Dr. Mary Greipp was presented the Warren I. Sussman Excellence in Teaching Award. 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. Faculty continue to serve in various volunteer and community service activities throughout the area.

PHILOSOPHY & RELIGION DEPARTMENT The class of 2005 was the first to have completed their college education after 9/11. There has been some suggestion that those events in the first weeks of this graduating class’s freshman year stimulated a greater interest in issues of meaning and values. Nationally, this has resulted in a rise in enrollment in philosophy and religion classes at many universities. While we remain a small department, we now attract considerably more students for our programs than we did five years ago. In May 2005, graduating students included eight majors in our department. Overall, we now count 28 declared majors in either philosophy (15) or religion (13) and 17 declared minors in philosophy, religion, or ethics. We anticipate continued growth in the future, particularly in light of the expansion of our full-time faculty. After an extensive national search during the first part of this year, we invited Dr. Shin-yi Chao, an expert in Chinese religions, to join our department starting in Fall 2005. In addition to teaching our surveys of world religions and eastern religion, Prof. Chao will introduce new courses on women, exorcism, and other topics in Asian religions. In Fall 2004, we introduced our new department requirements for the major, which will make our program comparable to those at many other colleges and universities by reducing the credits required for the major from 36 to 30. We expect that this will make our majors more feasible for both dual-major students and transfer students who may arrive at Rutgers without substantial prior study in our disciplines. During the past year, we introduced four new courses: “Evil” (Prof. Wall), “Magic and Ritual Power” (Prof. Banner), “Spiritual Autobiography” (Prof. Lightner), and “Justice and Forgiveness” (Prof. Ibn-Ziyad). This year was a bountiful year in terms of honors earned by students and faculty in our department. Walt Kim, who will enter a doctoral program at Tulane University in philosophy, received both the Dean’s Undergraduate Research Award for his project on philosopher John Searle (supervised by Professor Jarrett) and the department’s Stuckert Award in philosophy. Dual philosophy/religion major Dan Reddy received the Hugh White Award in Religion. Mary Monoky received the James Gaffney Award for academic achievement. Philosophy major Tom Frydel graduated with departmental honors and Phi Beta Kappa. Among the faculty, both Joanna Lightner and John Wall were recipients of awards for teaching excellence. Our department continued its strong support of the Freshman Seminar Program (directed by Professor Charmé), for which we offered three seminars in Fall 2004. Professor Jarrett offered his first graduate liberal studies seminar and Professors Jarrett, Charmé, and Wall collectively supervised four capstone projects in the MALS program. Prof. Wall provided essential support to the Childhood Studies Center in helping to draft the proposal for a doctoral program and assisting in other activities of the center. The faculty pursued their work on a variety of projects. Professor Brown completed a first draft of a book on philosopher Peter Strawson. Professor Wall’s book, Moral Creativity, will be appearing shortly from Oxford University Press. He continues work on his new book dealing with the social ethics of childhood. Professor Charmé is working on a new documentary film dealing with Jewish identity in adolescence and young adulthood, and he also completed two articles dealing with gender issues in modern Judaism. Professors John Wall and Stuart Charmé presented papers at a number of conferences and meetings in the U.S., Israel, and Norway. In addition, Professor Charmé was the program chair for a national conference on research in Jewish education held at Brandeis University.

POLITICAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT
The Political Science Department serves an increasing number of majors (114) and minors (five) in political science. Eighteen majors currently participate in the Department’s honors program. Political science majors complement their classroom studies with hands-on experience as interns in government and in non-governmental organizations, as well as through work in political campaigns. Within the past year, students have had internships with the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office, the Gloucester County Democratic Headquarters, the offices of Senator Frank Lautenberg and Congressman Robert Andrews, the International Visitors Center, the International Institute of New Jersey Anti-Trafficking Initiative, and the Office of the Deputy Attorney General of New Jersey. Professor Russell Harrison serves as coordinator of departmental internships. Several political science majors have received recognition for their outstanding academic accomplishments. Amir Ayres is one of twenty-five students selected nationwide for the Ralph Bunche Summer Institute, conducted by the American Political Science Association and aimed at members of underrepresented groups interested in a career in college teaching. Nathan Hitchen has been awarded a $15,000 scholarship from the St. Andrews Society that will enable him to spend his junior year abroad at the University of St. Andrews. Michael Burns, Melissa Callahan, Kristin Canavatchel, Brett Halpern, and David Healy received Jack Marvin Weiner Memorial Awards from the Department, and Robert Gallagher received the Robert Packard Memorial Award. Five students were inducted into Pi Sigma Alpha, the national political science honor society. The Department faculty has continued to receive national and international recognition for its scholarly contributions. Recent noteworthy books include those by Alan Tarr on federalism and minority rights and on comparative constitutionalism and by Arthur Klinghoffer on the politics of maps. The Department has provided opportunities for student research through its honors program, open to outstanding juniors and seniors majoring in political science. Each year more than a dozen students complete honors theses or independent study papers under the supervision of departmental faculty and the Department annually presents an award for the outstanding thesis, an award won by David Healy in 2004-2005. The Department also participates in a joint B.A./M.P.A. program in conjunction 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 members participate 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 Senator Walter Rand Institute for Public Affairs, and Alan Tarr as pre-law adviser and as the director of the Center for State Constitutional Studies.

PSYCHOLOGY DEPARTMENT Psychology continues to be the most popular major in the college. As of Spring 2005, the department had over 408 majors. This year the department has 133 graduating seniors and 35 minors. A number of faculty and students were the recipients of awards. Dr. Karen Thierry received a Minority Junior Faculty Award to study developmental differences in children’s ability to monitor different sources of information; Dr. Marmorstein received a Bildner Family Foundation Fellowship grant to integrate cross-cultural material into her Abnormal Psychology class; and Dr. Markey received a Rutgers University Research Council grant for her work on romantic couples. Two of our faculty members were the recipients of teaching awards - Dr. Luis Garcia was a recipient of the Provost’s Teaching Excellence Award and Dr. Ann Spector, one of our adjunct professors, received the Sybil Cohen award for excellence in teaching. Some of our students also had noteworthy accomplishments. For example, two of Dr. Kate Bezrukova’s students co-authored a book chapter which is currently in-press; Dr. Charlotte Markey supervised the research of a student who presented her work at a professional conference; three of our students were recipients of college research grants; and one of our students was chosen for the Dean’s Undergraduate Research Award. In scholarship, the psychology faculty had a very productive year. As the accompanying list of individual scholarly accomplishments indicates, the department has produced a substantial number of publications and our faculty presented numerous papers at professional conferences. In total, our faculty published 18 research manuscripts, 10 book chapters, presented 23 papers at professional conferences, and had nine invited talks. The faculty has also continued to involve students in research projects. Among other examples, psychology majors have worked with Dr. Charlotte Markey on attitudes about plastic surgery and body image; with Dr. Karen Thierry on how children form memories; with Dr. Kate Bezrukova on the development of fault lines in groups; with Dr. Naomi Marmorstein on culture and mental health; with Dr Ira Roseman on appraisal and human emotions; with Dr. William Whitlow on cognitive strategies on learning; with Dr. Daniel Hart on acculturation processes; and with Dr. Luis Garcia on how individuals label sexual acts. The department also continues its long tradition of service. Most notably, Dr. William Whitlow received a $1.15 million grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse for SPARC2000, a project to increase the presence of science fair projects from middle and high schools students that involve scientific understanding of drug use and drug addiction. In addition, Dr. Whitlow continues to be involved in developing an Environmental Health and Wellness Center in the Waterfront South Area. Dr. Daniel Hart is involved in two public service projects. The Camden STARR program is a youth development initiative focusing on adolescents in Camden. A second project, Healthy Futures for Camden Youth, focuses on the enrollment of Camden’s families in the State’s health insurance program. The psychology department is also growing in terms of the number of faculty and programs that we offer. Next year we will be joined by Dr. Sean Duffy, a developmental psychologist who is currently doing post-doctoral work at the University of Michigan. A second person, Dr. Joseph Rantuccio, will join the department as an assistant instructor. The department also has finalized plans to offer a Masters program in psychology which is scheduled to begin in the fall semester of 2006.

PUBLIC POLICY & ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT
The Urban Studies Program has 13 majors. The undergraduate Urban Studies program had a productive year. Professor Van Til led a class to Ireland this spring as part of the International Studies Program. A nationally recognized expert on the non-profit sector, this year he has authored two refereed journal articles and a book chapter, as well as writing for many other professional outlets. He is developing a new course for the International Studies Program that will include a trip to Hungary. Professor Tom Knoche, one of our long term PTLs, was awarded the prestigious National Social Advocacy Award by the American Planning Association at its annual conference in San Francisco. Nine students selected for the Community Scholars program and Housing Scholars program served in front-line positions with Camden-based community organizations. Funded by the Wachovia Bank and the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, these programs give selected students the chance to put their research and practice skills to use in the urban community. Taurean Ford, was named a Housing Scholar by DCA for Summer 2005. This highly selective program offers the top urban studies students in New Jersey intensive training sessions in preparation for a rigorous applied research experience with urban non-profits. The program’s internship course, Civic Education, enrolled 53 students, who provided internship services in the local Camden community. Our students continue to gain acceptance in graduate programs in city planning at U. of Penn, the University of Maryland, and elsewhere. Many are working in important positions in national, state and local governments as well as non-profit and for-profit companies. The Department was particularly proud of Amy Sampson, who graduated with high honors and was President of Student Government Association on campus. She will be attending the Community Planning Program at the University of Maryland. 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 continues to offer freshman seminars and international study courses, as well as an increasing number of cross-listed courses. New this year were cross-listed courses with the Economics, History, and Art History Departments. The Urban Studies curriculum will continue to evolve based on increased interdisciplinary course work. The program receives excellent administrative and leadership support and anticipates providing continuing service to students, the college, and wider 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. The department has roughly 160 majors in criminal justice, 87 majors in sociology, and 44 minors in one or another of its three disciplines. In May 2005, sixty-six students graduated with a major in criminal justice and forty-two in sociology. The year was marked by the department’s move from its cramped quarters in Armitage Hall to its spacious new building (shared with the Center for Children and Childhood Studies) at 405-7 Cooper Street. The department is grateful to Physical Plant Director Bernard Del Guidice for his extraordinary job of combining two historic nineteenth century buildings into such a wonderful workspace for faculty, staff, and students. In addition to new faculty and staff offices, the building includes a student computer lab and lounge, as well as a seminar room for classes and meetings. The department continues to be a leader in the use of the Internet and instructional technologies to support its curricular objectives. Most courses include an online dimension, statistical software is employed across the curriculum, wireless student response systems continue to be experimented with, and PowerPoint and other presentation software are widely used. During the year, two students created a video introduction to University of Pennsylvania sociologist Elijah Anderson’s Code of the Street, which they introduced to an appreciative audience at the Eastern Sociological Society meetings in Washington DC. The video is now available online. In addition to Dr. Gail Caputo’s 2004 book, Intermediate Sanctions in Corrections, department faculty members published a dozen book chapters and articles and made almost two dozen research presentations at professional meetings and seminars. Dr. Myra Bluebond-Langner held a National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) fellowship in the spring, after she stepped down as Director of the Center for Children and Childhood Studies. Her five years as director turned a vision into a vibrant reality and she continues to edit the Rutgers University Press Book Series in Childhood Studies, which already has five books in print. Department members sit on the editorial boards of over a dozen different professional journals. Student research was on display at the seventh 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 the Camden Police Department, Camden County Prosecutor's Office, Federal Public Defender, Camden County Youth Center, New Jersey State Police, New Jersey Public Defender, and Together Youth Shelter (a program of the Center for Family Services). Eight students worked with Dr. Jon’a Meyer on an evaluation of the Camden Safer Streets Initiative; others are involved in researching the history of the campus.
The department’s biannual newsletter contains more detailed information about faculty and student activities and achievements and may be accessed from the department’s website at http://sociology.camden.rutgers.edu/.
