For years, this franchise has played all their home games on the baseball field at Purdue North Central, located in Westville, Indiana. This baseball field has recently become unavailable to the Lakers franchise, leaving them without a field to play their 2016 home games. That is when representatives from the Midwest Collegiate League approached Hammond city officials about allowing the Lakers to play their home games in Riverside Park, in Hammond. “We were thrilled to be asked to temporarily house the historic Lakers franchise out of Riverside Park,” stated Hammond Mayor Thomas McDermott. “Hammond officials are hoping soon to secure a commitment from the Midwest Collegiate League Understanding your business is our business.

We have a great baseball stadium, equipped with lights, a scoreboard, and seating capacity for around 500 spectators. I have always been a fan of the Whiting Oilmen, and now I am proud that Hammond, temporarily, has a MCL team that can compete with the great teams that form the Midwest Collegiate League. This is excellent use of an amazing, natural grass, baseball field that was built entirely with Hammond taxpayers’ money.” The one year deal with the Michigan City Lakers provides that the baseball club will pay close to $5,000 for the primary use of the fields and that the City of Hammond Parks Department will keep all money received from the concession stands during the Lakers season. The Lakers Baseball Club, in return, will get to keep proceeds from all ticket sales, and will also be responsible for maintaining the field conditions of the South Baseball field at Riverside Park.

Ralph O. Mueller, dean of the University of Hartford’s College of Education, Nursing and Health Professions in Westford, Conn. since 2009, will assume the PNW position of Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and Provost July 15. July also represents the start of the 2016-17 academic fiscal year—the first official year of operation for Purdue Northwest. Early last March, the Higher Learning Commission approved the unification of Purdue University Calumet of Hammond and Purdue University North Central of Westville into Purdue Northwest, a single university of two campuses and some 15,000 students. In his new role, Mueller will oversee an institution of six colleges and 70+ undergraduate and graduate degree programs. “Dr. Mueller offers an impressive and extensive background of results-oriented academic leadership,” Purdue Calumet Chancellor and Purdue Northwest Chancellor-Designate Thomas L. Keon said. “He brings to PNW proven success in key goal areas of our strategic plan, including academic excellence, student access and success, learning through engagement and discovery, and partnership development.” Mueller also is founding director of the University of Hartford’s Institute for Translational Research, a multidisciplinary umbrella for collaborations among faculty, students and community partners. Through its experiential learning initiative, Purdue Northwest will offer hands-on, real world learning opportunities for students in collaboration with faculty and community partners. “To serve as inaugural Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and Provost at Purdue University Northwest—a new entity steeped in the histories of two distinct June 15, 2016 Purdue institutions—is a unique and humbling opportunity,” Mueller said. “The challenge and the great promise of growing a common culture to fulfill the University’s mission is what drew me to come and will drive me to stay.” Prior to his University of Hartford tenure, Mueller served five years as chair of the Department of Educational Leadership at The George Washington University. He also was a 2007-08 fellow of the American Council on Education (ACE) at the University of Miami. Throughout his 29-year career in higher education, he has served as a tenured faculty member of applied statistics with joint appointments in education, psychology and public policy/public administration. According to Keon, Mueller brings to PNW a background of diverse success that has contributed to increased student retention; effective faculty mentoring; development of new market-responsive academic programs; establishment of formal research and experiential learning opportunities; strong visioning and strategic planning; and outstanding financial management, fundraising and partnership development. “From the initial airport interview with the search committee and the subsequent on-campus conversations with PNW constituents, to the decisive follow-up discussions with Chancellor Keon, I heard one consistent message,” Mueller said. ”As one community dedicated to student success, we will become a first-choice university in Northwest Indiana and beyond. That impressed me!” Mueller also brings an extensive academic portfolio of published books and peer-reviewed articles and presentations. He holds a baccalaureate degree from Elon (NC) University, master’s degree from Wake Forest (NC) University and Ph.D. from Virginia Tech.

The course is scheduled July 11 through Aug. 15. Registration is $175 per person and must be paid by July 1. This is a self-paced course; participants work at their own pace and convenience and will not be required to participate in activities on specific days or at specific times.

The course is taught by Matthew Kubik, associate professor emeritus of interior design at Indiana University– Purdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW) and an award-winning architect. Currently a partner in Michigan City’s design/ build firm, StudioRoma, Kubik developed a passion for the work of da Vinci while studying architecture and training in England and Italy. June 15, 2016 Through the use of discussion forums, email, chat and other course tools, participants will have ample opportunity to interact with the instructor and their peers as they learn and develop skills.
