"Having been through the program, I sometimes try to make certain aspects of the work a little more rich, fun or dynamic," he said. "I remind (students) that there is a method to the madness." Bauermeister graduated from the Uni- versity in 2004 with his Master of Public Health degree and again in 2006 with a Ph.D. in Health Behavior and Health Education, one of five degrees offered by the School of Public Health. He returned to the University to teach in 2009 after a post-doctoral fellowship at Columbia University. As an assistant professor in the Department of Health Behavior and Health Education, Bauermeister - who calls his method of instruction "dynamic and approachable" - currently teach- es a core departmental graduate-level course and said he plans to teach courses on human sexuality during upcoming semesters. He said his interest in human sexuality, which has led him to study topics such as HIV/AIDS, the fostering of sexual rela- tionships on the Internet, and health pro- motion strategies, stemmed from doing research when he was a student. Today, Bauermeister is devoted to bet- ter understanding sexuality as a valu- able component of public health, and he pursues his interests through a research group called the SexLab. Researchers from the SexLab col- laborated with the School of Information and the HIV/AIDS Resource Center on campus to develop projects ranging from analyzingsmoking habits among sexual- minority women to investigating young men's motives for choosing not to receive HIV testing. One project he said he is particularly excited about overseeing in the near CONTACT INFORMATION Newsroom News Tips Corrections Letters to the Editor Photography Department Arts Section Editorial Page SportsSection Display Sales tlassified Sales Online Sales Finance Office horsn.Thrs. 1am.n-2 a.m. 7344415 opt.3 news@michieandaiy.com corrections@michigandaily.com tothedaily@michigandaily.co pfhue@rnichigaodaily.com arspagegihigadaiy.com Assistant Prof. Jose Bauermeister's work in the SexLab consists of interviews for research. future is a "PhotoLove" project that will recommendations to people in health attempt to understand how young men fields while drawing attention to impor- who have sex with men conceptualize tantissues. love.

With expansion, Fulbright offers interdisciplinary track Pearl Harbor survivor Quinton Pyle, 88,of Fredericksburg, Texas, covers his heart during the National Anthem at the Pearl Har- bor Commemoration Ceremony at the National Museum of the Pacific War in Fredericksburg, Texas yesterday. Pearl Harbor veterans reunite after 69 years From Page 1A tural Affairs. Swenson attributed the expan- sion to officials in Congress and President Barack Obama's administration who were inter- ested in expanding opportunities for students to pursue exchange programs. She added that the bureau's emphasis on enhancing the use of English abroad also contributed to the expansion of the ETA program. "English is basically becoming the tool by which all exchanges can take place ... and one (can) learn more about the United States ... the English Teaching Assistantship is a critical com- ponent of that whole initiative to increase the teaching of English worldwide," Swenson said. Swenson added that the expansions would mean an increase in the opportunities available to students applying for Fulbright's grant program. "It should make it easier to get a grant in theory because the number of awards is increasing," she said. "But what has also been happening in the past couple of years is that we have seen a large growth in the number of applica- tions." Swenson went on to say that 9,335 students have applied to the program this year, up from 8,600 last year. "It does allow for more oppor- tunity but, by the same token, we are seeing more American stu- dents interested in taking part in the Fulbright program," she said. Fulbright applicant and Uni- versity alum Khadeejah Sani hopes to pursue sustainable energy engineering research in affiliation with the Masdar Institute of Science and Technol- ogy in Abu Dhabi. Sani said she believes the expansions would have an effect on her proposed project. . "Since my project is in direct alignment with the fundamental principles of the new direction of the Fulbright program, I will have more of a chance to gain acceptance as a Fulbright schol- ar," Sani said. "The expansion happened right after I applied to the pro- gram, so ifI am not accepted this year then I most definitely will re-apply next year in anticipa- tion of an increased chance of gaining acceptance," Sani added. Fulbright recipient and Uni- versity alum Anna Clark, a for- mer writer for The Michigan Daily, will use her grant to pur- sue a creative writing project in Nairobi, Kenya. She said that she thought the expansion to the program would lead to increases in acceptance for more students from the University. "Michigan has one of the best records in the nation for its stu- dents, alumni and faculty getting Fulbright fellowships," she said. "I had an excellent experience working with the International Institute on my application, and I have no doubt that they will take every opportunity they can in making it possible for more Michigan students to experience the world." According to the International Institute website, the University ranks first in the number of Ful- bright grantees this year, with 39 students in 24 countries. This is the fourth time the University has led in the number of grants since 2005. University alum Sharief El- Gabri, who originally applied for an ETA grant in Egypt, received one for Amman, Jordan. He said that he will participate in a con- ference in Amman in mid-Janu- ary aimed at contributing to the growth of the program. Gabri said he believes the expansions will lead to more University stu- dents attaining fellowships. "The expansion will most cer- tainly lead to more Michigan students pursuing the various grants," he said. "It's great that there are even more opportu- nities to take advantage of the Fulbright program, which is committed to promoting under- standing and bridging differ- ences." Ginger Cline, a University alum who is pursuing an ETA in France, said the recent expan- sions wouldn't affect applicants looking for grants in France as the number available has not changed. "Fulbright operates on a coun- try-by-country basis, and from what I saw on the website, noth- ing about the program in France has changed," she said. She said the expansions in the program would mean that there are more opportunities for Uni- versity students, citing the addi- tion of three new ETAs in Laos. Benjamin Fox, a University alum who pursued a Fulbright Scholarship in eco-city devel- opment in Taiwan, said that his own proposal was wait-listed at first. He said he was accepted to the program when more funding was made available. According to Fox, expansions could result in more acceptances of University students. "Once students make it past the first cut, they are all worthy of receiving a grant; the number of fellowships finally awarded is largely predicated on how much funding is available," Fox said. "U of M will keep produc- ing qualified candidates; and the more money available, the more U of M students that will end up getting grants."

There was a minor disruption on the center's first day when the dis- covery of anunidentified baginside one of the galleries prompted the Park Service to briefly evacuate the two exhibit halls and a courtyard. .But the rest of the visitors center remained open, and everyone was allowed back in the galleries after the object was determined to be a medical bag carrying oxygen. U.S. Pacific Fleet commander Adm. Patrick Walsh said the new center, which has twice the exhibi- tion space as the old one, would tell the story of those who fought and won the peace. "This museum gives a view into their lives, a window into the enor- mity of their task, an appreciation of the heaviness of their burden, the strength of their resolve," Walsh said. Assistant Secretary of the Inte- rior Thomas Stickland said the events of Dec. 7,1941, were so trau- matic and marked by heroism that they had become ingrained in the nation's consciousness. "That day is now fundamental to who we are as a people. Its stories must be preserved. They must be honored and they must be shared," Strickland said. BIG CHILL TOO COLD FOR YOU? We got you covered.
