NEW FSEM Leadership
Dear Colleagues,
I’m taking over the leadership of the FSEM Program from Dr. Ranjini Thaver from here forward. I’m lucky to be leading such a vibrant program and I’ve tried to latch on to all of the successful efforts made to make FSEM work at Stetson with a new Canvas site available here….
https://www.stetson.edu/other/canvas/ (links to an external site)
Your FSEM Faculty course page contains much of the information you need to know to prepare for fall 2021. The FSEM Handbook is located there, for example, as well as a new archive of important documents which shows where we’ve come from over the past ten years.
The Frequently Asked Questions document is my attempt to get out ahead of the curve with the coming semester. But I am available at [email protected] if you have any additional queries or need for clarification, of course.
(Soon, I’ll be back with a calendar of events for the coming year among other things.)
Sincerely yours,
Dr. Martin Blackwell
Director of the FSEM Program
Visiting Professor of History
Department of History

From: Michael Eskenazi, IRB Chair
The deadline to submit Full Board Review protocols for review by the end of the semester is Wednesday April 7th. The deadline to submit Exempt or Expedited Review protocols for review by the end of the semester is Wednesday April 14th. Any protocols submitted after these dates will be reviewed in the order of their submission at the beginning of the fall semester.
If you cannot meet these deadlines but have work that will begin over the summer, please let me know and I will review these Exempt or Expedited Review protocols after the deadline. However, Full Board Review protocols must be submitted before April 7th for work that will begin over the summer.
Please be sure to use the updated Protocol Description Form and Consent Form when submitting your IRB application. These forms can be found at the bottom of the main page of MentorIRB. You can access MentorIRB through the Resources tab in MyStetson.
If you have questions about whether you need to submit your research for IRB review, what your level of review should be, or anything else, please contact me at [email protected] or 386-822-7398.

Attention all faculty members who plan to conduct new research projects involving non-human vertebrate animals this summer:
As is our usual routine, if you plan to work with non-human vertebrate animals this summer for a research project that has not yet been approved by the IACUC, you will need to submit a proposal for our review by Friday April 23rd. The forms and guidelines used for writing proposals can be found on the Provost’s web page: http://www.stetson.edu/administration/provost/policies-and-guidelines/research-guidelines-for-animal-use/application-procedure.php. If you have several students who are all working on a similar project with you, you may choose to submit a single proposal and list the names of students who will be participating. You and your students, however, must have completed some form of IACUC training within the past two years, and have submitted health forms (to Campus Health Services) for review.
We offer research training through CITI https://www.citiprogram.org/members/index.cfm?pageID=50. You will need to register for CITI using your Stetson ID, and then select the basic Working with the IACUC module. There are several other modules that you might want to have your research students complete (e.g. Mice & Rats, Wildlife Research, Working with Amphibians, Working with Fish).
The next call for proposals and reviews will be in early August, with a deadline toward the end of that month.
You will be notified individually if you need to submit a continuing review form or a project completion form.
From: Grace Kaletski Maisel, Learning & Information Literacy Librarian, Research & External Scholarships Advisor
This advising season, I encourage you to keep distinguished scholarships and fellowships in mind. If you have a student who expresses interest or shows promise for a distinguished scholarship/fellowship opportunity, please refer them to Research & External Scholarships Advisor Grace Kaletski-Maisel at [email protected], or the appropriate campus advisor listed below.
An info session for students providing information on a variety of opportunities will be held on Tuesday, March 23rd from 12-1 PM via Zoom. RSVP at https://stetson.libwizard.com/f/infosessionsignup. Cultural credit is available for this event. Additional information is online at https://guides.stetson.edu/externalscholarships.

Congratulations to the following recipients of the 2019 Hand Awards for Distinguished Faculty Achievement.
Ana Eire, Ph.D., Professor of World Languages and Cultures
Hand Award for Research, Creative and Professional Activity
Isabel Botero, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Family Enterprise and Entrepreneurship
Hand Award for Research, Creative and Professional Activity
The Hand Award for Distinguished Faculty Achievements are made possible through the continued generosity of trustee emeritus and alumna Dolly Hand and her husband, Homer Hand. Through their support of excellence in higher education, we are honored to recognize outstanding faculty. The awards have been presented to faculty since 1988, with recipients whose names many in the audience will recognize as faculty who have been transformative to this institution—Michael Rickman, Karen Kaivola, and Leonard Nance to name a few.
Faculty over the years have been presented with Hand Awards in two primary areas: Community Impact, and also Research, Creative and Professional Activity. This year, we recognize the professional achievements of two outstanding faculty members in the category of Research, Creative, and Professional Activity. Both of these faculty members have significantly contributed to the knowledge of their fields, the vibrancy of Stetson University’s pedagogy and academic culture, and the world beyond this campus.

The first 2019 Hand award honors a faculty member who joined the Stetson University almost three decades ago. Since then, she has published multiple books that have garnered national attention in her home country, leading her to be considered, as one nominator writes, “the foremost scholar of Spanish poetry in Spain.” Because of her established renowned reputation as a Spanish poetry critic, she is currently working on another commission preparing an introduction to the 25th anniversary edition of an anthology of poetry entitled El sindicato del crimen. For her professional commitment, and in recognition and celebration of her substantial scholarly contributions, it gives me great pleasure to present the first of two 2019 Hand Awards for Research, Creative, and Professional Activity to Professor Ana Eire.————–
Historically, there have been Hand awards that recognized the stellar work of faculty who have been at Stetson for a short period of time, and then go on to do great things at Stetson. Some examples include then-Assistant Professors Terri Witek, Stephen Robinson, and Sue Ryan, who all won the Hand recognition just a few years after they joined Stetson. This year’s 2nd 2019 Hand award recipient is a prolific scholar with 46 publications, a frequent invited review for prestigious journals, and an internationally known expert in her field. She has presented her research in the U.S., Europe and Latin America, and last year was awarded second place in the Adalberto Viesca Sada Family Business in Latin America’s Award. In only her fourth year at Stetson, this faculty member is using her extensive research as the academic foundation for reviving the family business curriculum in the School of Business Administration. For her professional commitment, and in recognition and celebration of her substantial scholarly contributions, it gives me great pleasure to present the second of two 2019 Hand Awards for Research, Creative, and Professional Activity to Assistant Professor Isabel Botero.
