Asst. Vice President, Library Services Edit This Profile Email: Richard.Hodges@fsw.edu Phone: (239) 489-9356 Extension: 11356 Location: LEE J215 Office Hours: n/a Department: Library - Lee Campus - Richard H. Rush Library Biography Richard A. Hodges, Ed.D. has served in leadership and faculty positions in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Mississippi and most recently Virginia where he oversaw the development of library programs designed to enhance student success and retention. Richard has served as a member of the international Expert Panel for the creation of the annual EDUCAUSE Horizon Report. The report observes trends in technology usage throughout higher education and examines future impactful innovations. As former Director of Learning Resources at Thomas Nelson Community College in Virginia, Richard represented the Virginia Community College System as a member of the State Council of Higher Education’s Library Advisory Committee and as the committee's liaison to the Virginia Scholarly Communications Interest Group examining trends effecting scholarly communications. Richard’s research interests focus around the intersection of race, business and higher education in the Deep South during the period 1954-1966. His dissertation, “Emerging from Resistance: The Origins of the Virginia Technical College System,” was the result of extensive research into the relationship of Virginia’s political response to the Brown v Board of Education rulings of the mid-1950s and the eventual founding of the Virginia Technical College System. This was a story that had never been investigated. Recently, he recently contributed entries for the five-volume Encyclopedia of Higher Education published by SAGE in 2020. The entries are on the role of the Arts in higher education, and the effects of Race on Teaching. Along with his library background, Richard is former professional musician having appeared as saxophone soloist in Europe, Canada, and throughout the United States including his debut recital in Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall in New York City. He has served as a music faculty member in Mississippi, New Jersey, and Virginia, and worked as an Assistant Conductor of the Youth Orchestra of Central Jersey where he established their award-winning Saxophone Choir. Richard holds a bachelor’s degree in applied music from Wichita State University (Kansas), a master’s degree in applied music from the University of Mississippi and a master’s of library and information science degree from Louisiana State University. His doctorate in Higher Education Administration was earned from William & Mary (Virginia). Richard and his wife Lynn live in Fort Myers with their cat Rudy and dog Noel.

Title should not be all caps, with standard names of study species capitalized and recognized scientific names following in parentheses if applicable.See example Below:General Ecology and Population Characteristics of a Coastal Population of Florida Box Turtles (Terrapene bauri) in Southwest Florida.Jordan T. Donini (1)*, Brooke Talley (2), Adrian Rodriguez(1) Juliana Loredo (1), Cristal Navarrete (1), Richard Guevera (1), and Jackie Drew (1)(1) Florida SouthWestern State College; (2) Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission[Jtdonini@fsw.edu]Key Words: Terrapene bauri, Turtles, Home Range, Population Status, Habitat SelectionFlorida Box Turtles (Terrapene bauri) range throughout peninsular Florida and occupy a number of habitats from hammock forest, pine uplands, and even shell mound islands. Outside of the long-term studies on Egmont Key, very few studies have investigated the ecology and population of T. bauri in southern Florida. We assessed population demography, morphology, habitat use, and dietary components, in a coastal population of box turtles in southwestern Florida. We used meandering surveys to detect individuals and attached Radio-transmitters to a subset of 15 individuals to monitor movements and habitat use. Standard morphological data was collected along with sex and size class. A subset of individuals were placed into buckets with water for fecal collection to assess diet composition. 282 individuals were captured (109 females, 108 males, 64 juveniles) over a two-year period. Home range estimates are still being analyzed, but habitat use varied with most telemetry encounters coming from Costal Scrub and Mangrove Edge habitats. Direct observations of turtles in the water, along with detected algal growth was indicative of highly aquatic behaviors. Sex ratios for this populations were almost 50/50 , while adult carapace length averaged 133.95 mm. Males were significantly longer than females, in addition to having significantly wider heads. Initial dietary studies indicate a largely generalist and omnivorous diet, with mollusks, arthropods and fruiting plants encompassing the majority of the diet. These baseline data provide a starting point for continued long-term study on a species that may be at risk of extirpation in the coming decades. Oral and Poster Presentation Guidelines:Guidelines are fluid in terms of formatting and style, but please ensure that text is limited in the case of oral presentations, and large enough to see. Please do not use bright colored text on light backgrounds as it may inhibit the ability of the audience to interpret information.Oral Presentations should be Microsoft PowerPoint or PDF file form should be used if this is not possible, please contact organizers for potential resolution.Presentations NEED to be uploaded at least 1 day prior to the presenter’s session. This can be achieved through a google drive dropbox (to be provided), or delivery by flash drive. To save time no lap top hookups will be incorporated.Oral Presentations should not exceed 12 minutes, with 3 minutes reserved for questions.Oral Presentations should include a title page with authors and affiliates that closely matches the abstract title.Any figures, descriptions, or other information that may put study animals or their habitat at risk should not be included in presentations. Exact GPS locations should not be included if possible.Any images or figures that do not belong to the author should be properly credited and cited and references section included.Posters should be no larger than 48 x 36 inches.Poster presentations should include a title that closely matches that of the abstract along with an identical listing of contributing authors and affiliates.Speed talks will be incorporated as able, but should respect the shorter time frame and be a hard 5 minutes.Speed talks should generally be projects in the early stages of work, summaries/advertisements of project initiatives and conservation groups but other ideas will be considered on a case by case basis.Contact Jordan Donini (Jtdonini@fsw.edu) with any questions.
