Vince “Chelli” Ciammaichelli |
| Studio Manager and Mass Communication Instructor |
Since his arrival at DSU in January 2005, Vince Ciammaichelli has played an instrumental role in the reinvigoration and upgrading of the Department of Mass Communications at DSU.
In his work with broadcast journalism, television production and radio production majors, “Chelli” – as he is commonly known – is developing his students’ skills for the modern media world. In addition to the basics of broadcast writing and media fundamentals, he is also teaching the most current media practices such as convergence and complex audio mixes. He has been at the forefront of the department’s installation of a multimedia computer lab, improved digital video capability and the establishment of an audio production class.
In addition to challenging broadcast majors to do news reports that tell the story of DSU, six of his mass communication students are currently in China where they are sending back news broadcasts about that country and vying for internships at the 2008 Summer Olympics. |

Dr. Mingxin Guo |
| Assistant Professor of Natural Resources |
Earth Day 2008 is drawing a lot of attention toward Dr. Mingxin Guo as the result of his ongoing research on the application of organic waste-derived biochar for soil quality improvement. He is among the world’s pioneer researchers in this area that are finding the charcoal-like material to be a revolutionary long-term soil alternative to conventional fertilizer application. In addition to improving soil quality, the biochar does not emit carbon dioxide gases that contribute to global warming.
Having completed greenhouse potting experiments on the charcoal, Dr. Guo is now preparing to expand his research and apply the charcoal to the soils of DSU’s Blendt Farm near Smyrna. |
