Nguyen, Associate Professor of Business Administration and Economics: Great leaders are first and foremost great at leading themselves. Personal leadership is the leadership of the self and this is the foundation of successful leadership. Peter Drucker, the well-known expert and founder of modern management, said that self-leadership is the only leadership that is going to matter in the 21st century. If a person cannot lead himself or herself, he/she then will be led by other people. This course will discuss the art and science of personal leadership. Students will study various contemporary theories of leadership and read stories and case studies on this subject. The objective of the course is to help students have an awareness and understanding of the keys to successful self-leadership. With these keys, students will be able to develop themselves to become great leaders. </p><p>NEWTONIAN PHYSICS – by Dr. James Wetzel, Assistant Professor of Physics: The scientific revolution started with Sir Isaac Newton’s development of classical mechanics in 17th century.

John Beckelman: Horizon Suite
<p>John Beckelman’s Horizon Suite is a group of six recently-completed three-dimensional landscapes. Using the expressive potential of clay and a variety of other materials, Beckelman’s work explores the transitional space where the sky meets the land or sea. The horizontal sweep of this space is mediated by intimate moments of surprising texture, shifting light, and fleeting color. Horizon Suite attempts to gently entice the viewer into the inner landscapes and interior spaces of our imagination and memory. Beckelman finds a curious intersection between the seemingly enduring and timeless character of earth and the fleeting yet wonderful impermanence of the world in which we live. John Beckelman's art has been shown in exhibitions throughout the country and he has been the recipient of numerous awards, commissions, and grants. He received his master of fine arts degree in ceramics and his master of science degree in ceramics from Illinois State University. Beckelman is the Robert O. Daniel Professor of Art, Emeritus at Coe College. He lives and works in Cedar Rapids.</p> 2019-06-26 16:00:00 -05006/26/1912:00 p.m.Cedar Rapids Museum of ArtCedar Rapids -

John Beckelman: Horizon Suite
<p>John Beckelman’s Horizon Suite is a group of six recently-completed three-dimensional landscapes. Using the expressive potential of clay and a variety of other materials, Beckelman’s work explores the transitional space where the sky meets the land or sea. The horizontal sweep of this space is mediated by intimate moments of surprising texture, shifting light, and fleeting color. Horizon Suite attempts to gently entice the viewer into the inner landscapes and interior spaces of our imagination and memory. Beckelman finds a curious intersection between the seemingly enduring and timeless character of earth and the fleeting yet wonderful impermanence of the world in which we live. John Beckelman's art has been shown in exhibitions throughout the country and he has been the recipient of numerous awards, commissions, and grants. He received his master of fine arts degree in ceramics and his master of science degree in ceramics from Illinois State University. Beckelman is the Robert O. Daniel Professor of Art, Emeritus at Coe College. He lives and works in Cedar Rapids.</p> 2019-10-17 16:00:00 -050010/17/1912:00 p.m.Cedar Rapids Museum of ArtCedar Rapids
