Berger, Kern-Blystone honored | John Waters brings one-man show to Wolfe Center

BERGER NAMED FELLOW OF AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION

Bonnie Berger

Dr. Bonnie Berger, sport management, was granted the status of fellow by the American Psychological Association (APA) this month in the 47th Division – Exercise and Sport Psychology. She was the only fellow named in the division at the national level.

Fellows are nominated by peers in the organization and must meet minimum requirements as outlined by the association. The fellow status is bestowed upon current APA members who have shown evidence of unusual and outstanding contributions or performance in the field of psychology, as stated on the APA website. Furthermore, a nominee's work must have a national impact on the field of psychology beyond a local, state or regional level.

"This nomination is wonderful recognition of Dr. Berger's commitment and dedication to her field," said Dr. Dawn Shinew, interim dean of the College of Education and Human Development. "This honor is a great reflection on her, as well as the college."

JOHN WATERS BRINGS 'THIS FILTHY WORLD' TO BGSU

John Waters

"Life is nothing if you're not obsessed," said actor, director, producer and writer John Waters. Without a doubt, that is the life that Waters has led and continues to lead.

Waters will bring "This Filthy World," his rapid–fire, one–man, spoken word "vaudeville" act celebrating his film career and joyously appalling taste to BGSU. His presentation begins at 8 p.m. Nov. 5 in Kobacker Hall at the Moore Musical Arts Center and is for mature audiences. The program is free, but tickets are required and are moving quickly, the box office reports. Tickets are available at the Wolfe Center for the Arts or online.

His BGSU residency is part of the Edwin H. Simmons Creative Minds Series. Funded by a private donation, the series is intended to elevate the importance of the arts in our everyday lives. Following his evening talk, Waters will work in classes with students on Nov. 6.

IN BRIEF

Training sessions are planned for the January move to online illness/injury reporting.
