Seven Upper Iowa University student groups recognized by the governor for commitment to volunteering

FAYETTE, Iowa (July 1, 2013) - Seven Upper Iowa University student groups were honored at the 2013 Iowa Governor's Volunteer Awards ceremony recently for their contributions and involvement in the Fayette community and surrounding area.

Alpha Nu Omega, EYE, Phi Beta Delta and the Environmental Science Club were all nominated by the Iowa Department of Transportation for their consistent road side assistance. The students help maintain cleanliness of public areas and highways by picking up trash various times throughout the year.

UIU's Director of Student Leadership and Adventure Daryl Grove, along with Director of Student Activities Amy Tucker, nominated Beta Theta Omega for coordinating Women's Leadership Week, a staple program at Upper Iowa University for the past 11 years. The Peacock Men's Basketball Team and Women's Volleyball Team were also honored for its assistance and involvement with local youth and elementary schools.

"We are pleased to recognize these student groups," said Grove. "They truly deserve this honor for their efforts and participation in civic engagement."

Student Research Finds Better Way to Build Green Roofs

“Think globally, act locally” is more than just an environmental catchphrase – it’s also a sound way to approach green roof construction, according to James McDonald, who earned his B.S. in biology at Loyola Marymount University in May.

McDonald’s research into green roof technology during his undergraduate years strongly suggests that indigenous plants fare better in Southern California’s climate, enhancing the benefits of having a green roof atop a building.

McDonald presented his findings at LMU’s fifth annual Undergraduate Research Symposium. His work focused on comparing the most common type of plant used on green roofs – sedums, shown in the top half of the picture – with an indigenous type of plant, dudleyas. “The basis of the project was to test the thermo-tolerance of the two genera of plants,” McDonald said.

His research indicated that the local dudleyas, a type of succulent plant, were better suited to higher temperatures and conditions that would be typical in Southern California.

Sedums are the most-used plants in green roofs because they grow relatively well in areas where green roof industries first took off, in climates that are less arid than Southern California, said Philippa Drennan, professor of biology at LMU and adviser on McDonald’s project. “Europe’s got a big green roof culture and sedums grow quite well in that area. Also north of [Southern California], getting up toward Canada, or even toward the northeast of the United States, sedums are very good because they tend to grow in cooler areas,” she said. 

McDonald was a junior when he joined Drennan’s ongoing research into green roofs, which provide a natural alternative to other insulation materials. They also help reduce stormwater runoff and provide habitat for birds and insects.

In high-heat areas such as Southern California, temperatures on top of most buildings will get so high that plants are prone to dry out and die. “We found that the dudleyas were able to withstand higher temperatures,” McDonald said, “and at the highest temperatures more cells were living in the dudleyas than in the sedums.”

But survivability wasn’t McDonald’s only research concern. “When you put things that are non-native into areas, it sometimes has detrimental effects. It doesn’t support the insects or birds or bees of that environment,” he said, adding that the local dudleyas would have a better chance to develop as an ecosystem on rooftops and be an effective green roof.

Student Pollsters Projected Winner of Mayoral Race

Not everyone could have told you who was going to win the Los Angeles mayoral election just moments after the polls closed on Tuesday, May 21.

Not everyone—except those who were at the Election Night event hosted by the Thomas and Dorothy Leavey Center for the Study of Los Angeles at LMU. That’s because the center’s exit poll predicted a win for Councilman Eric Garcetti, with 54 percent of the vote, over Controller Wendy Greuel, projected to win 46 percent of the vote.

Those numbers, it turned out, were exactly correct.

“We’ve been conducting exit polls in Los Angeles for years, and every time we improve our methods for collecting surveys and analyzing the results,” said Fernando Guerra, director of the center and professor of Chicana/o studies and political science at LMU. “On Election Night, we felt very good about our data, and the result speaks for itself.”

On Election Day, 75 student volunteers canvassed 25 precincts throughout the day and entered data as it came in from the field. Those surveys, combined with a telephone poll of voters who mailed in their ballots prior to Election Day, allowed center researchers to predict the outcome hours before official results began trickling in.

That projection, and the insights gathered from the exit poll’s demographic research, were extensively reported by the news media. The New York Times, Los Angeles Daily News, Reuters, KPCC 89.3 FM, and Fox11 News were among the many relying on the Center’s data and analysis in their coverage.

“The exit poll is a great opportunity for our students to get hands-on, behind-the-scenes experience in the political system,” said Brianne Gilbert, associate director of the center.

Beyond that experience, students also work with the data itself for their own research projects, such as tracking voting patterns or demographic changes throughout Los Angeles.
