There is 40 years experience in law enforcement between the authors.
Director of Illinois Institute for Rural Affairs and Economic Professor Norman Walzer remains active in publishing at Western. He has nearly a dozen published books or articles, "mostly on rural economic development kind of issues," Walzer said.
He had two books present, The American Midwest and Cooperatives and Local Development. The latter focuses on "cooperatives and how they effect local economic development," Walzer said.
Professor of Educational and Interdisciplinary Studies Reinhard Lindner explained his journal article, "Perceived Stress and use of Coping Strategies as a Response to Rapidly Changing Student Demographics" reaches into the issues of "how teachers cope with the stress with the school district changes," Lindner said.
Different cultures and languages add stress to the classroom as the fabric of our culture changes.
"How teachers deal with that kind of stress and how they react to stress," Lindner said, is addressed in his article.
Western president Al Goldfarb's book, Theater: the Lively Art, fifth edition, was also present. It is an introduction to theater co-authored by Edwin Wilson.
"(Wilson) was the broadway theater critic of the Wall Street Journal for 25 years," Goldfarb said. "He and I actually co-authored two textbooks together, and this one is in its fifth edition."
In his welcoming speech, Huesmann quoted from the Book of Proverbs. "Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge," he said. "My belief, my premise, my conviction, is that we honor those today-those that we honor here indeed invoke that philosophy behind those 5 words," Huesmann added.
Goldfarb added "that the research work that we do goes into the classroom and becomes an important component of what we do in the classroom. And as I talk to faculty and staff across campus, I think there's great awareness of that proverb that James quoted, clearly a driving force of this institution ... it is both instruction and research, instruction and knowledge that drive what we do here," he said.
Provost Joseph Rallo also echoed Huesmann's welcoming words, "An, finally, as the dean has said, I look at the vision statement within our strategic plan which says that we will be the leading comprehensive institution in the United States and these types of activities are absolutely essential to that focus," Rallo said.
