<description><![CDATA[Only 6% of business schools worldwide achieve accreditation through the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.
The post <a href="http://news.utoledo.edu/index.php/07_10_2025/neff-college-of-business-extends-prestigious-accreditation">Neff College of Business Extends Prestigious Accreditation</a> first appeared on <a href="http://news.utoledo.edu">UToledo News</a>.]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[The University of Toledo’s John B. and Lillian E. College of Business and Innovation reaffirmed its standing as an elite business school with the extension of its accreditation through the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).
The Neff College of Business is one of only 6% of business schools worldwide to meet the association’s high standards for accreditation and one of fewer than 200 business schools worldwide to maintain a supplemental accreditation for its accounting program.
“This accreditation reflects the excellence of our students and faculty at the Neff College of Business,” said Dr. Anne Balazs, who oversaw the multi-year accreditation process as dean of the college. “Our job placement rate after graduation is higher than 90%, and approximately 85% of our students intern at companies large and small, in Toledo and beyond. Neff faculty members are internationally known and publish in the top journals in their respective fields, and our alumni, donors and business community members provide resources that make the Neff College experience impactful and rewarding. We are grateful for the teamwork that led to this important outcome.”
Dr. Heba Abdel-Rahim is the interim chair of the Department of Accounting.
“Accounting accreditation requires meeting rigorous standards, and we are proud to uphold and continuously advance the quality and integrity of our accounting programs,” she said. “This accomplishment reflects our continued dedication to student success, community engagement and scholarly excellence, and it reaffirms our standing among the top business schools in the world that hold dual accreditation in both business and accounting.”
AACSB International is the largest business education network and global standard-setting body for business education, and accreditation through the association is recognized worldwide as the highest level of excellence a business school can achieve.
“AACSB congratulates each institution on their achievement,” said Stephanie M. Bryant, executive vice president and chief accreditation officer of AACSB. “Every AACSB-accredited school has demonstrated a focus on excellence in all areas, including teaching, research, curricula development and student learning. The intense peer-review process exemplifies their commitment to quality business education.”

<description><![CDATA[Tatum Hartford recently completed research and networked at art museums across Poland, Germany and Denmark.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Tatum Hartford presented her passport for its first-ever stamp in 2023, ahead of a faculty-led trip to Sorrento, Italy, alongside about a dozen classmates who, like her, were wrapping up their first year in the Judith Herb College of Arts, Social Sciences and Education.
The opportunity came through Palmer Global Fellows, a program supporting global experiential learning experiences within the college.
<div id="attachment_93475" style="width: 510px" class="wp-caption alignright"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-93475" class="wp-image-93475" src="https://news.utoledo.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Tatum-Hartford-2025-MAIN.jpg" alt="Tatum Hartford, an art history senior, poses next to a little-known sculpture she researched that is in the collection of the Toledo Museum of Art at the Georg Kolbe Museum in Berlin." width="500" height="281" srcset="http://news.utoledo.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Tatum-Hartford-2025-MAIN.jpg 748w, http://news.utoledo.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Tatum-Hartford-2025-MAIN-300x169.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" />Tatum Hartford, an art history senior, researched a little-known sculpture in the collection of the Toledo Museum of Art at the Georg Kolbe Museum in Berlin.</div>
And it was just the beginning.
“Palmer Global Fellows has totally changed the trajectory of my college experience,” said Hartford, an <a href="https://www.utoledo.edu/programs/undergrad/art-history/">art history</a> senior who recently returned from a second study abroad experience supported by the program — this time a three-week trip to complete research and network at art museums across Europe. “Half of the things that I’ve done thus far, I wouldn’t have been able to do without it.”
Palmer Global Fellows, launched with the support of donors Thomas and Susan Palmer in 2023, offers a passport to every first-year student in the Judith Herb College of Arts, Social Sciences and Education. The program also funds two study abroad opportunities for about a dozen fellows each year who are selected through a competitive application process.
Palmer Global Fellows is one of two global experiential learning programs housed within the college, joining the Rocket Kids program that recruits and trains students to provide quality child development at U.S. Army bases across Europe.
“International experience is invaluable for our students who will be graduating into an increasingly global world,” said Dr. Melissa Gregory, dean of the Judith Herb College of Arts, Social Sciences and Education. “These unique co-curricular opportunities open doors for students to develop leadership skills and advance their career aspirations while exploring the world around them.”
A member of the inaugural cohort of Palmer Global Fellows, Hartford brought a strong interest in art history and curation to UToledo, supported by hands-on experience through the Teen Leaders program at the Toledo Museum of Art. The Toledo native joined the outreach program as a student at the Toledo School for the Arts.
Once she enrolled in the art history program at UToledo, she was excited to learn about the Art Museum Practices Concentration that furthered her engagement with the museum and gave shape to her curatorial career aspirations.
The three studio and art history courses that support the concentration emphasize professional standards, practices and procedures used in contemporary museums of art. It also challenges students to <a href="https://news.utoledo.edu/index.php/04_04_2024/utoledo-students-curate-exhibit-at-toledo-museum-of-art">curate an exhibit at the Toledo Museum of Art</a>, working closely with museum staff and Dr. Thor J. Mednick, a professor of art history, to select a theme and corresponding works from the museum’s collection.
<div id="attachment_93476" style="width: 390px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-93476" class="size-full wp-image-93476" src="https://news.utoledo.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Tatum-Hartford-2025-STORY.jpg" alt="Tatum Hartford, an art history senior, poses next to a little-known sculpture she researched that is in the collection of the Toledo Museum of Art at the Georg Kolbe Museum in Berlin." width="380" height="500" srcset="http://news.utoledo.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Tatum-Hartford-2025-STORY.jpg 380w, http://news.utoledo.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Tatum-Hartford-2025-STORY-228x300.jpg 228w" sizes="(max-width: 380px) 100vw, 380px" />A member of the inaugural cohort of Palmer Global Fellows, Tatum Hartford brought a strong interest in art history and curation to UToledo, supported by hands-on experience through the Teen Leaders program at the Toledo Museum of Art.</div>
Mednick drew on his deep connections to art museum experts across Europe to help Hartford develop her recent study abroad itinerary in Poland, Germany and Denmark.
“Working with Tatum has been the outstanding privilege of my career — a singular opportunity,” Mednick said. “In my initial meeting with a clearly gifted student, I laid out everything we could possibly do to put her in the best possible position for the career she wants. Tatum was ready, willing and eager for every part of the plan. No student in my experience has been more proactive, diligent and effective. She is on her way to being a transformative figure in her field.”
Palmer Global Fellows funds two study abroad experiences for fellows. The first is a faculty-led excursion at the end of their freshman year, such as Hartford’s experience alongside classmates in Italy, while the second follows a more personalized itinerary that fellows propose during their junior year to enhance their education or professional development.
Hartford leveraged the opportunity to travel to Poland, where she interned under a curator at the National Museum in Poznan during a conference titled Emergence, Transformation, Maintenance: Private Collections Open to the Public from the 18th Century to the Present Day.
The Office of Undergraduate Research’s Summer Research and Creative Activities Program allowed her to extend the trip to Berlin, where she went on to research a sculpture in the collection of the Toledo Museum of Art at the Georg Kolbe Museum.
“The European art curator approached me about a year and a half ago, and he told me about this acquisition that they didn’t know much about,” she said. “The Georg Kolbe Museum was kind enough to communicate with me and lay out a bunch of resources, and I spent a couple of days researching the sculpture in their facilities.”
And before she headed home, Hartford made a final stop in Denmark, where she met with a senior researcher at the Statens Museum for Kunst. She is in the process of submitting an independent study/research application to the Fulbright U.S. Student Program, which would allow her to continue research into the museum’s Danish collection as well as an exhibition on Danish painter Vilhelm Hammershøi.
“Copenhagen was probably the highlight of my trip,” she said. “The connections that I made there were incredible. It was the same with Poland and Germany – just getting to talk with all these people who were all so supportive of what I was trying to achieve with this trip.”
Hartford said she’s grateful for the opportunities opened for her by Mednick, as well as Michelle Sullivan, an academic advisor who connected her with both the Art Museum Practices Concentration and Palmer Global Fellows, and Dr. Ammon Allred, a professor of philosophy and head of the Palmer Global Fellows Program.
“I’ve done a lot of incredible things at UToledo,” Hartford said, “but I wouldn’t have been able to do them without the support that I’ve had through this program and from Thor and Michelle and Ammon.”The post <a href="http://news.utoledo.edu/index.php/07_10_2025/art-history-senior-advances-curatorial-aspirations-in-europe">Art History Senior Advances Curatorial Aspirations in Europe</a> first appeared on <a href="http://news.utoledo.edu">UToledo News</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[A University of Toledo neuroscientist has received nearly $3 million from the National Institutes of Health to continue his investigation of the potential link between a commonly used pesticide and autism spectrum disorder.
Dr. James Burkett, a neuroscientist and assistant professor in the UToledo College of Medicine and Life Sciences, has previously led research that found exposing both mice and prairie voles to insecticides called pyrethroids while in the womb resulted in hyperactivity, repetitive behaviors and social and cognitive deficits — all characteristics of autism in humans.
<div id="attachment_93479" style="width: 510px" class="wp-caption alignright"><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-93479" class="wp-image-93479" src="https://news.utoledo.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/10092024-9072a.jpg" alt="Photo of Dr. James Burkett, a neuroscientist and assistant professor in the UToledo College of Medicine and Life Sciences, looking at a syringe." width="500" height="281" srcset="http://news.utoledo.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/10092024-9072a.jpg 748w, http://news.utoledo.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/10092024-9072a-300x169.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" />Dr. James Burkett, a neuroscientist and assistant professor in the UToledo College of Medicine and Life Sciences, recently received a $2.94 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to continue his research into how a common insecticide may raise the risk of developmental disorders.</div>
Notably, those studies used levels of the insecticide equivalent to what would currently be considered safe for humans under federal environmental guidelines.
With the new funding, Burkett will investigate whether similar effects are seen from lower levels of pyrethroid exposure. He’ll also dive deeply into understanding the specific mechanisms responsible for the pesticide’s effect on brain development.
“I think we’re very close to being able to say that this pesticide is a real danger at the levels to which people are currently exposed,” he said. “The critical part of this study is determining what a safe dose of this pesticide is, or if there even is a safe dose.”
Pyrethroids are widely used, appearing in everything from municipal mosquito fogging concentrations and home insecticide sprays to dog collars and factory-treated specialty clothing meant to repel ticks.
Though generally viewed as safer than other, older insecticides that have now been phased out of regular use, there is a growing body of evidence that pyrethroids may play a role in a range of developmental disorders.
In addition to Burkett’s work in animals, epidemiological studies have documented higher rates of neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism, in areas where the pesticides were used.
“Autism spectrum disorder is a complex condition and there is no one single cause. The current belief is that it’s the result of some combination of genetic and environmental factors,” Burkett said. “Pyrethroids are something that nearly everyone is exposed to at some level. Not everyone exposed to pyrethroids will develop autism, but I think there is very convincing evidence that pyrethroids are a real environmental risk factor.”
The new study, which is funded by the NIH’s National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, will follow the model of Burkett’s prior work by exposing pregnant and lactating prairie voles to a pyrethroid called deltamethrin.
Unlike the previous studies, which looked at a single level of exposure, the upcoming work will expose different study groups to progressively lower levels of deltamethrin to see what level of exposure has no discernable impact to the animals’ laboratory behaviors, natural behaviors and brain biology.
In addition to better establishing a safe level of exposure to pyrethroids, the study, Burkett said, will allow researchers to see if different levels of exposure might cause different symptoms.
“We might see a very, very low dose cause symptoms that we think look like ADHD, but that it only causes symptoms that look like autism at these higher doses,” he said. “That’s the kind of information we can infer from this dose study.”
Prairie voles are particularly well suited for this type of research, Burkett said, because their complex social structures enable researchers to better see social deficits that are analogous to autism in humans.
Burkett’s prior work also has shown that pyrethroid exposure disrupts the prairie vole’s circadian rhythms. That, he said, is noteworthy, given that 50% to 85% of individuals with autism have comorbid sleep disorders.
As part of the new study, Burkett and his team plan to see if treating those voles’ sleep disruptions very early on might reduce the severity of their symptoms later on in life — potentially opening a new strategy for treating young children who have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.
“Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder. By the time those individuals are adults, their brain is already developed in an atypical way,” he said. “That’s why I want to look at treatments early in life where we can intervene and maybe reduce their symptoms in adulthood. To me, that’s the goal.”The post <a href="http://news.utoledo.edu/index.php/07_10_2025/federal-grant-supports-new-study-of-link-between-pesticide-and-autism">Federal Grant Supports New Study of Link Between Pesticide and Autism</a> first appeared on <a href="http://news.utoledo.edu">UToledo News</a>.]]></content:encoded>
