MTU Students Receive NSF Graduate Research Fellowships

Two Michigan Tech graduate students, Tessa Steenwinkel and Tyler LeMahieu, have been awarded National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowships, and one undergraduate student, Jenna Brewer, has been given an honorable mention.

The oldest STEM-related fellowship program in the United States, the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) is a prestigious award that recognizes exceptional graduate students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines early in their career and supports them through graduate education. NSF-GRFP fellows are an exceptional group; 42 fellows have become Nobel Laureates and about 450 fellows are members of the National Academy of Sciences.

The fellowship provides three years of financial support, including a $34,000 stipend for each fellow and a $12,000 cost-of-education allowance for the fellow’s institution. Besides financial support for fellows, the GRFP provides opportunities for research in national laboratories and international research.

The Graduate School is proud of these students for their outstanding scholarship. These awards highlight the quality of students at Michigan Tech, the innovative work they have accomplished, the potential for leadership and impact in science and engineering that the country recognizes in these students and the incredible role that faculty play in students’ academic success.

Tessa Steenwinkel
Steenwinkel is a biochemistry and molecular biology M.S. student under advisor Thomas Werner (BioSci). She has been studying the influence of nutrition on the interplay of fertility, fecundity and longevity in Drosophila. In the long term, she plans to focus on medicinal research and how genetic regulation plays a role in infertility.

Werner writes: "Tessa is the best student I have ever had the pleasure to mentor in my lab. During her undergraduate and accelerated M.S. years, she won nine research awards and published 10 research papers and two books with me. I am extremely happy (but not surprised) that she won the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. Her newest success proves that I was not mistaken in my choice to name a new fruit fly species in her honor last year, which is named 'Amiota tessae.'"

Tyler LeMahieu
LeMahieu is an environmental engineering M.S. student under advisor Cory McDonald. LeMahieu's proposal was titled, "Understanding Wild Rice Site Suitability in a Changing Climate."

LeMahieu writes: “I plan to dedicate my career to bridging gaps between the scientific body and land managers. I would like to manage public and rural lands for the farmer, the logger and the hunter while managing those same lands for improved water and ecological health into perpetuity. Because fundamentally, rural land managers have the same goal in mind as those studying the environment — a useful, productive and sound ecosystem which will support and be supported by the next generation. That common ground is not always evident to both parties, but I am equipped to act as an intermediary with a foot in both worlds.”

Jenna Brewer
Brewer is a senior undergraduate student from Grand Rapids studying wildlife ecology and management under advisor Jared Wolfe. She plans to continue her education at Michigan Tech, pursuing a graduate degree this fall. Her research aims to develop an acoustic signal to deter birds from potential collision hazards such as city buildings during flight, effectively mitigating bird deaths. After graduate school, she hopes to become an avian ecologist, contributing to projects that focus on migration science.

Wolfe writes: “Jenna’s enthusiastic study of songbird ecology and conservation has long been recognized by her supervisors and peers; now that same passion has been recognized by the National Science Foundation. Faculty at CFRES are incredibly proud of Jenna’s accomplishment!”

ADVANCE Weekly Roundup: Make Feedback Matter

How and why do supervisors provide feedback? How does feedback influence retention? These questions are posed in this week’s Roundup article. While it focuses on the corporate world, the discussion also applies to the academic environment.

Feedback is intended to help faculty, staff and students improve performance, but the article notes that, “Telling people they are missing the mark is not the same as helping them hit the mark.” Just conveying negative feedback reduces engagement, so supervisors of faculty, staff and students can build a culture of high performance by shifting from critic to ally.

The article recommends four steps. The first is to communicate by listening and empathizing with the challenge, expressing confidence in the person’s ability to prevail and then asking to partner with them on brainstorming strategies. Steps two through four frame outcomes through actions. Partnering as an ally centers the faculty, staff or student employee in the plan while supervisor management aligns resources and collaboratively develops strategies to help the employee grow. Using these strategies increases communication and morale, and helps position all individuals to succeed at their highest level of performance.

Today’s feature was shared with us by the ADVANCE PIs. If you have an article you think we should feature, please email it to advance-mtu@mtu.edu and we will consider adding it to the ADVANCE Weekly Roundup.

The ADVANCE Weekly Roundup is brought to you by ADVANCE at Michigan Tech, an NSF-funded initiative dedicated to improving faculty career success, retention, diversity, equity and inclusion. Past articles are available on the ADVANCE Newsblog.

Travis Wakeham Selected for Deans' Teaching Showcase

Our final spring 2022 Deans' Teaching Showcase member is Travis Wakeham, lecturer and academic advisor in the Department of Biological Sciences, selected by College of Sciences and Arts Dean David Hemmer.

Wakeham will be recognized at an end-of-term luncheon with other showcase members, and is also a candidate for the CTL Instructional Award Series.

In making the selection, Hemmer said: “Travis works tirelessly to provide high-quality education to his human biology students while keeping in mind how difficult college can be for many students. The recent COVID-19 pandemic created new problems for our students, who needed a compassionate listener. Travis Wakeham deserves special recognition for this combination of empathy and teaching excellence.”

Wakeham was selected for his work in engaging and inclusive teaching of large classes through incorporating innovative technology. He teaches a range of courses, including labs and more advanced classes in human biology. But he also instructs one of the largest classes in the department: Anatomy & Physiology (A&P). As both a general education STEM elective and a required course for health sciences–related majors, A&P attracts a wide range of students with varying goals and backgrounds.

Wakeham designed this known-to-be-challenging course for student success by actively promoting pre-class preparation and reflection. He utilizes inclusive access to ensure all his students have affordable access to course materials directly integrated in Canvas. During class, he keeps students engaged through frequent iClicker polls and review games using Kahoot.

Recently, through generous alumni donations, Biological Sciences acquired an Anatomage Table. The device is a life-size virtual dissection (think of it as a seven-foot touchscreen). It allows students to interact with highly accurate 3D anatomy, providing students with virtual human cadaver dissection. This includes a cloud-based platform which allows students to collect physiological data in the lab and analyze it from anywhere, which helped them quickly adapt to remote instruction during COVID-19.

Wakeham consistently assesses whether these additions are effective and how they are perceived by his students. At the same time, he regularly checks on student well-being. Wakeham puts himself “out there” to connect with his students, dressing up for Halloween and even giving an entire lecture in high heels in support of students organizing a “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes” event. By sharing his own personal challenges and failures, he has developed a collegial relationship with his students.

A previous student shared: “The whole semester I felt like I was being taught by someone who remembered how difficult college was and was doing his best to make his students learn while also not stressing them out constantly, which made me do better in his class.”

Biological Sciences Chair Shekhar Joshi summarizes Wakeham's broad contributions: “In addition to building an amazing teaching portfolio, Travis also advises 200-plus students in their degree planning and is highly active in outreach events like BioAthlon, Summer Youth Programs and high school visits. We are truly fortunate to have Travis in our department.”
