أعلنت جامعة "ناشونال لويس" الأمريكية المرموقة عن اختيار أمريكية من أصل مصري رئيسة للجامعة العريقة التي يبلغ عمرها أكثر من مائة عام.

وقالت جامعة "ناشونال لويس" في بيان لها، إن مجلس أمناء الجامعة وقع اختياره على الدكتورة نيفين مجاهد لتكون الرئيس رقم 11 للجامعة، التي تأسست عام 1886 وتتخذ من مدينة شيكاغو بولاية إلينوي مقرا لها.

وكشف الجامعة أن تعيين الدكتورة مجاهد الأسبوع الماضي جاء بعد عملية بحث مطولة عن الشخصية المناسبة لهذا المنصب استمرت تسعة أشهر، وقامت بها لجنة موسعة تضم ممثلين عن الجامعة وأعضاء هيئة التدريس والطلاب والخريجين ومجلس أمناء الجامعة بمساعدة شركة متخصصة في توظيف مسئولين في مجال التعليم العالي، وهي شركة أيزاكسون ميلر الأمريكية.

وقال الدكتور ريتشارد روس، رئيس مجلس أمناء الجامعة، في البيان، إن المجلس "سعيد بوجود عالمة وأستاذة وقائدة مثل الدكتورة مجاهد لديه، ونحن واثقون أنه في ظل قيادة الدكتورة مجاهد فإن جامعة ناشونال ـ لويس سوف تجد المزيد من الطرق لإضافة قيمة لحياة الطلاب الذين نخدمهم".

وأضاف بيان الجامعة أن الدكتورة مجاهد ستضيف للجامعة أكثر من 20 عاما من الخبرة في مجال التعليم العالي.

وبدورها قالت الدكتورة مجاهد في بيان الأربعاء: "جامعة ناشونال لويس تتمتع بتاريخ كجامعة تدعو إلى الفخر في تغيير حياة الجيل الأول من الطلاب الجامعيين من خلال برامج تعليمية مبدعة وقيمة.. وأتطلع لأن أكون جزءا من هذه المؤسسة الممتعة والمساعدة في تشكيل مستقبلها."

والدكتورة مجاهد، التي حصلت على الدكتوراه عام 1981 في علم النفس الإكلينيكي من جامعة روشستر الأمريكية، من مواليد مصر، وتربت في نيويورك.

وقد شغلت مجاهد العديد من المناصب الأكاديمية المرموقة بجامعات وكليات أمريكية، من بينها منصب رئيسة كلية كيندال الأمريكية بمدينة شيكاغو، كما ترأست في السابق جامعة إمباك وجامعة ساراسوتا بولاية فلوريدا الأمريكية، كما كانت أيضا عميدة الكلية الأمريكية لعلم النفس المهني في هاواي.

Dr. Nivine Megahed appointed 11th president of National-Louis University

CHICAGO (March 8, 2010) — National-Louis University’s Board of Trustees announced today the appointment of Dr. Nivine Megahed as the 11th president in the Chicago-based institution’s 124-year history.

Dr. Megahed, president of Kendall College in Chicago since 2006, has served as president of both IMPAC University and the University of Sarasota in Florida as well as group vice president for Education Management and Kaplan, where she was responsible for 12 to 25 campuses with up to 15,000 students. She was campus dean at the American School of Professional Psychology in Hawaii and a faculty member at the Georgia School of Professional Psychology. Egyptian by birth, she grew up in New York State and has a doctorate in clinical psychology from the University of Rochester.

“The NLU Board of Trustees are delighted to have attracted a scholar, teacher, and leader such as Dr. Megahed," said Richard M. Ross, Jr., chairman of NLU Board of Trustees. “We are confident that with Dr. Megahed's leadership NLU will find more ways to add value to the lives of the students we serve.”

Dr. Megahed brings to NLU more than 20 years of experience in making higher education more accessible for diverse students and communities. She comes to NLU with a solid track record of engaging faculty, staff and students to build quality academic programs with growing enrollments, good accrediting relationships and solid financial results.

“NLU has a long and proud history of transforming the lives of first-generation college students through innovative, high-value educational programs that combine the best of theory and practice. Its faculty are known for their expertise in teaching adults who are balancing the often daunting responsibilities of families and jobs. I am looking forward to becoming part of this exciting institution and helping to shape its future in these increasingly competitive and challenging economic times,” said Megahed.

Dr. Megahed succeeds Dr. George H. Litman who has served as interim president since July 2009 and who will continue in an important leadership role with the university. The appointment culminates a nine-month national search conducted by a university-wide committee representing faculty, staff, students, alumni and trustees, assisted by Isaacson, Miller, a recruiting firm that specializes in higher education.

National-Louis University has been a force for change in American education since its founding in 1886. Known for nearly a century as the National College of Education, the institution is nationally acclaimed for its programs in teacher preparation, urban education and educational leadership, as well as for being one of the first universities to address the unique needs of adult learners. Today, NLU offers a range of undergraduate and graduate degree programs in the National College of Education, the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Management and Business. NLU’s campuses are located in downtown Chicago; Lisle, Skokie, Wheeling and Elgin, Ill.; Beloit and Milwaukee, Wis.; Tampa, Fla. and Nowy Sacz, Poland. www.nl.edu

I have realized that in video cameras, unique detectors help to target
automatically. The actual sensors involving some cameras change
in in the area of contrast, while others use a
beam of infra-red (IR) light, specially in low light.
Higher standards cameras from time to time use a mix of both programs and will often have Face Priority AF where the dslr camera
can 'See' a new face while keeping focused only in that. Many thanks for sharing your thinking on this site.

Thanks for your posting on this web site. From my very own experience,
periodically softening way up a photograph could possibly provide the wedding
photographer with an amount of an inspired flare. Sometimes however, that soft
blur isn't what exactly you had planned and can sometimes spoil a normally good image, especially if you anticipate enlarging this.
