The show, a weekly TV news magazine hosted by Lucky Severson, was created to educate the public about current developments in genetics and life sciences,as well as the applications of the research from these fields. Ward Television Corporation produced the program in collaboration with six leading life sciences research institutions: Harvard University; Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology (Cambridge, England); University of California, San Fancisco; University of Michigan; University of Wisconsin, Madison; and VCU. The project was funded in part by Oracle and the Pfizer Foundation. Each episode consisted of three, eight-minute segements which featured the work of scientists and researchers from the participating institutions. The show debued on April 7, 2002 and ran until March 2003 with a total of 52 episodes aired.","The idea for SOTS began at VCU due to President Eugene P. Trani's active support for the life sciences. He spearheaded the creation of VCU Life Sciences, a comprehensive program intergrating the School of Medicine, VCU Health System, the Inger and Walter Rice Center for Environmental Life Sciences, and programs in the sciences, engineering, business, education, and the humanities. This program was created to educate not only students, but the broader public as well to raise awarness about research and advancements in the Life Sciences. In 2001 VCU engaged the services of McGrath/Crossen Associates, a public relations firm, to find ways of promoting these ideas to the community at large and to raise the profile of the University. The concept of the show was created and other institutions were invited to join in the project. At a press conference in March 2002 to promote SOTS Dr. Trani stated that the series represented a \"breakthrough in the effort to establish a public dialogue about the implications of research in a post-genomic era.\" He discussed the need for an informed society for the formation of responsible public policy on these issues and declared, \"where the public goes, so goes the future of education and public policy.\"","Fifty of the best segments of the SOTS shows were adapted to assist teachers in the application of genetic research across the biology curriculum. These 8-10 minute videos were made available for free download through VCU. This project was funded by the Pfizer Foundation and the National Academy of Sciences. Additional funding from the Howard Hughes Medical Institution allowed for the creation of more videos which have been added to the site. Each video includes an accompanying classroom-tested lesson that encourages students to further explore the video topics. These vidoes can be found at  http://www.sosq.vcu.edu","The videos in Series 3 are in various formats. The majority are recorded on Sony Betacam SP cassettes. There are also some VHS tapes, Sony DVCam cassettes, and CDs. Screening will require proper equipment for playback.

The records include correspondence, project and production information, video masters, b-roll footage, and other materials related to the creation and production of the television series.","Series 1: Administrative records, 2000-2007. This series consists of records relating to the development of the show and is divided into four subseries.","Subseries 1.1: Correspondence. This subseries includes printed copies of emails that were exchanged primarily between VCU, McGrath/Crossen Associates, Ward TV, and the other institutions involved in the show. Topics covered include the development of the concept, funding, production, and promotion of the show.","Subseries 1.2: Development of concept and publicity records. This includes materials such as the script for the series pilot, episode descriptions, press releases and details of the press conference held to promote the show, a progress report, a white paper on the neccesity for life sciences education, and other related materials.","Subseries 1.3: Participants. Materials include profiles of the six research institutions involved in the creation of SOTS, biographies of the members of those institutions who also served on the Board of Advisors, and other materials relating to the Life Sciences programs at those institutions.","Subseries 1.4: Legal records. This subseries contains arbitration testimony, materials regarding the Ward TV bankruptcy case, and materials related to a FOIA request by the Richmond Times Dispatch.","Series 2: Production records, 2001-2003. This series includes the production files for episodes 106-152 which contain scripts, location and crew releases, chyrons (television graphics that appear on the lower third of the screen), edit decision lists (EDS), and other materials related to the productio of SOTS. Also in this series are files containing personal, logo, location, and stock footage releases and a file of stills and slides.","Series 3: Videos, 2000-2003.

Nordlinger later attended Virginia Commonwealth University graduating with a Bachelor of General Studies degree in 1985.","Nordlinger was a staunch advocate for the national legalization of abortion. Prior to the Roe v. Wade decision in 1973, she assisted women in Richmond in finding legal avenues for safe abortions. She co-founded the Richmond chapter of the National Organization for Women (NOW) with Mary Holt Woolfolk Carlton in 1969, gaining its charter in 1973. She maintained membership with multiple women's activism groups in the Richmond area including the Women's Lobby of Virginia, Virginia Foundation for Women (VFW), and Planned Parenthood.","As a member of NOW, Nordlinger participated in various efforts in the Richmond area to ensure reproductive rights, rape victim protection, and to end sexual segregation. She led a sit-in to integrate the all-male soup bar of the Richmond Thalhimers Department Store in 1970. At NOW conventions and demonstrations, she often delivered speeches discussing various topics in regard to women's rights. Additionally, Nordlinger furthered her activism as a freelance writer, composing essays and short stories which highlighted the social injustices women faced. Nordlinger regularly submitted her writings for publication in feminist and mainstream magazines such as The Back Page, The New Yorker, and Ms. Magazine.","Nordlinger died March 18, 2008, in Richmond, Virginia.","Sources:","Robertson, Ellen and McKelway, Bill. \"Zelda K.

The papers provide insight into the second-wave feminist movement in the Richmond area with examples of the experiences, methods of activism, and organizations Nordlinger and her colleagues used to further their goals.","Series 1: Personal Files, 1970-2008: The bulk of the collection is comprised of the personal papers of Zelda Nordlinger regarding her work in women's activism in the Richmond area. The material consists of various newsletters, mailings, and pamphlets distributed by feminist groups to disseminate information relevant to their goals. Much of the material focuses on lobbying for the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) or other legislation to further the rights held by women.","Included with these materials is Nordlinger's collection of political and activist buttons.

She received her B.A. in Elementary Education in 1959 from George Washington University, her M.S. in Special Education from Syracuse in 1965 and her Ph.D. in Special Education (with a minor in Human Development) in 1970 from University of Maryland.","She taught at the University of Maryland from 1968 to 1970, Southern Connecticut State University from 1970-1972, Northern Illinois University from 1972-1974, and Indiana University during the summer of 1975. Her career at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) began in 1974, when she was hired as an assistant professor in VCU's School of Education. She was the director at the Reading and Child Study Center from 1981-1983. Lokerson retired in 1996 but continued to teach at VCU as a professor emerita.","Dr. Elise Blankenship, who also studied at Syracuse, came to VCU around the same time as Lokerson. Together, Blankenship and Lokerson were known as leaders in teacher (and parent) education on understanding and working with children with learning disabilities (School of Education, undated). Blankenship and Lokerson lived, published, presented, and worked together throughout their 50 years of knowing one another.","Jean, who had muscular dystrophy, dedicated herself towards improving the lives and education of others with disabilities through her work at VCU, and through her professional service. Organizations that Jean was heavily involved with and took on leadership roles include: Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) and the Division of Learning Disabilities (CEC-DLD), the Learning Disabilities Association of America (LDA), and the National Joint Committee on Learning Disabilities (NJCLD). She continued volunteering her time and expertise with many of these organizations after her retirement from VCU.","Jean Lokerson died at the age of 79 on November 7, 2016.","More information about Jean E.

Mason Memorial Scholarship Foundation","The Mildred A. Mason Memorial Scholarship Foundation was established in 1983 by a group of Mason's friends following her death earlier that year. Mason dedicated her professional career to nursing and vocational education. Her friends and colleagues created this scholarship to show their gratitude for the outstanding work she accomplished over her thirty year career. The minutes of the first meeting stated their intention that the scholarship be a \"living memorial to a Great Lady\" and that the \"contributions made by the friends of Dr. Mason will enhance and inspire the lives of the students and or teachers who will be the recipient of such funds.\"","The board of the foundation was composed of representatives from organizations that Mason worked with during her career including the Virginia Licensed Practical Nurse Association, the Virginia Health Occupations Education Association, Old Dominion University, and Norfolk Public Schools Vocational Technical Center. The board also had to include educators from the fields of health occupations education and trade and industrial education as well as members of her family. The foundation set an initial fundraising goal of $10,000 to begin a scholarship and planned to invest the funds to sustain an annual award of at least $500 to a health occupation student or educator seeking further education. The foundation raised money by soliciting donations from friends and colleagues of Mason, holding raffles at various health care related conferences, and from donations given by organizations such as the Virginia Health Occupations Education Association. Scholarship criteria and applications were distributed to schools with health occupation programs and high school guidance departments. In 1985 the foundation awarded its first scholarship. After 1987 the foundation awarded two or more scholarships each year in amounts ranging from $500 to $1,000.","In 2011 a board member raised concerns about the future of the foundation. The foundation had successfully maintained the scholarship fund for nearly 30 years and between 1985 and 2012 made 79 awards totaling $43,800. However, the core members were aging and it was becoming more difficult to secure outside donations for the fund. The board decided to explore alternative arrangements for the scholarship funds. The foundation approached Old Dominion University and Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) about their willingness to become the new home of the Mason Scholarship and ultimately selected VCU. On May 5, 2012 the foundation's board voted to dissolve the organization and transferred the remaining funds to the Medical College of Virginia Foundation as an endowed scholarship for nursing students. The Mildred A. Mason Memorial Scholarship is now awarded to students enrolled in the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Nursing.","Mildred A. Mason","Mildred Alfy Mason was born in Oxford, North Carolina on May 21, 1925. She was raised in her family's home in Clarksville, Virginia where she attended public school. In 1943 she entered Johnston-Willis School of Nursing in Richmond and enrolled in the United States Cadet Nurse Corps, a federal government program designed to accelerate and expand the number of trained nurses during World War II. After graduation from Johnston-Willis, Mason worked as a private duty nurse in Richmond, then took a post graduate course in obstetrical nursing at Margaret Hague Hospital in Jersey City, New Jersey.","In 1947, Mason began the defining work of her career when she became an instructor in the Norfolk Public Schools and at the Leigh Memorial Hospital School of Practical Nursing. In 1960, she became supervisor of health occupations for the Norfolk Public Schools when a second cooperative program was opened with Norfolk General Hospital. In that role she led the development of nurse aide instruction, health occupations classes at a Norfolk high school and a third practical nursing program at the Norfolk Technical Vocational Center (NTVC). She also designed evening class offerings for LPNs and refresher courses for RNs returning to practice. When the three practical nursing programs merged to create the Central School of Practical Nursing at the NTVC she assisted in obtaining accreditation from the National Association for Practical Nurse Education and Services for the school.","Throughout these years, Mason continued her education receiving a B.S. degree in nursing education from Duke University, a master's in Education from the University of Virginia, and her doctoral degree in Education from Virginia Tech. An active member of Virginia Nurses Association and the Virginia League for Nursing, Mason served as Chair of the National League for Nursing Council on Practical Nursing Programs. She authored the first textbook on medical surgical nursing for practical nursing students in 1959 which continued through six editions with the collaboration of various co-authors until 1996. Mason became associate professor of trade, industrial and health occupations education at Old Dominion University, a position she held until her untimely death on April 25, 1983.","Mason's family and friends established a scholarship fund in her memory to recognize her commitment to nursing and vocational education. In 2000 the Virginia Nurses Association honored Mason posthumously by naming her a Virginia Pioneer Nurse. She was also inducted into the Virginia Nursing Hall of Fame in 2013.","This collection includes the records for the foundation from its inception in 1983 to its dissolution in 2012 and the transfer of the remaining endowment funds to the Medical College of Virginia Foundation in 2013. Materials include the articles of incorporation, bylaws, board meeting minutes, financial records, correspondence, promotional materials, a brief history of the foundation, the records pertaining to the dissolution and transfer of funds, and other related materials. The board of directors meeting minutes provide insight into the structure of the foundation, the evolving criteria and selection process, the types of recipients selected, and how they worked to cultivate and maintain donors and invest their funds. The minutes also provide updates on how the scholarship students' progress. There is only a small amount of correspondence comprised mostly of thank you notes from the award recipients expressing their gratitude, especially since the money would allieviate some of the financial burden and allow them to focus on their studies.","There are no restrictions.","VCU Health Sciences Library","Mildred A.

The foundation set an initial fundraising goal of $10,000 to begin a scholarship and planned to invest the funds to sustain an annual award of at least $500 to a health occupation student or educator seeking further education. The foundation raised money by soliciting donations from friends and colleagues of Mason, holding raffles at various health care related conferences, and from donations given by organizations such as the Virginia Health Occupations Education Association. Scholarship criteria and applications were distributed to schools with health occupation programs and high school guidance departments. In 1985 the foundation awarded its first scholarship.
