UNITED NATIONS
NATIONS UNIES
THE SECRETARY-GENERAL
-MESSAGE ON WORLD WATER DAY
22 March 2012
Over the coming decades, feeding a growing global population and ensuring food
and nutrition security for all will depend on increasing food production. This, in turn,
means ensuring the sustainable use of our most critical finite resource – water.
The theme of this year’s World Water Day is water and food security.
Agriculture is by far the main user of freshwater. Unless we increase our capacity to use
water wisely in agriculture, we will fail to end hunger and we will open the door to a
range of other ills, including drought, famine and political instability.
In many parts of the world, water scarcity is increasing and rates of growth in
agricultural production have been slowing. At the same time, climate change is
exacerbating risk and unpredictability for farmers, especially for poor farmers in lowincome countries who are the most vulnerable and the least able to adapt.
These interlinked challenges are increasing competition between communities and
countries for scarce water resources, aggravating old security dilemmas, creating new
ones and hampering the achievement of the fundamental human rights to food, water and
sanitation. With nearly 1 billion people hungry and some 800 million still lacking a safe
supply of freshwater, there is much we must do to strengthen the foundations of local,
national, and global stability.
Guaranteeing sustainable food and water security for all will require the full
engagement of all sectors and actors. It will entail transferring appropriate water
technologies, empowering small food producers and conserving essential ecosystem
services. It will require policies that promote water rights for all, stronger regulatory
capacity and gender equality. Investments in water infrastructure, rural development and
water resource management will be essential.
We should all be encouraged by the renewed political interest in food security, as
evidenced by the high priority given to this issue by the agendas of the G8 and G20, the
emphasis on the nexus of food, water and energy in the report of my Global
Sustainability Panel, and the growing number of countries pledging to Scale Up
Nutrition.
On this World Water Day, I urge all partners to fully use the opportunity provided
by the Rio+20 UN Conference on Sustainable Development. In Rio, we need to connect
the dots between water security and food and nutrition security in the context of a green
economy. Water will play a central role in creating the future we want.

SNP resources and where to find them
by Andrew Behnke, SNP Representative, NCFR Board of Directors (2011

April 16, 2013
Student members of NCFR have often questioned where they can learn
about jobs in their field and how they can prepare to win them. Thankfully,
NCFR has a number of great places to start.
Writing for a Scholarly Journal by Ron M. Sabatelli,
Ph.D, CFLE
The purpose of this essay is to offer advice on how to write for publication.
Papers giving advice on how to write articles and how to succeed at
publishing, in theory, reduce the anxieties that accompany the writing
process. Advice provides information that, in turn, makes the writing
process a little less intimidating.

Using technology to stay connected
by Marissa Stone, SNP Representative, Family Science Section (20112012)
April 16, 2013
Each generation brings about new applications to help us get and stay connected. For many of us,
Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn are a normal part of our lives. But there are some new tools out now
that may take us beyond the level of connectivity available in these applications.

Looking for a way to get involved within NCFR?
Then getting involved in the Student/New Professional (SNP) Leadership Council is a great place to start!
The SNP Leadership Council Steering Committee is composed of the SNP Board Representatives, SNP
Conference Program Representative, SNP Affiliate Councils Representative, Student Affiliate
Representative, 12 SNP section representatives, and 20 student affiliate presidents.
What tips do current members of the SNP Leadership Council have for getting involved? Why did current
members choose to get involved? What are the perks of getting involved in the SNP Leadership Council?
Let's hear from some of the council members themselves...
"I was relatively new to NCFR and was kind of overwhelmed by the number of opportunities to get involved.
Becoming the SNP Rep for the Affiliate Councils Board was a great way to focus my efforts while meeting
student and professional members from around the country (and world!)." Amanda Williams, SNP
representative on the Affiliate Councils Board
"I attended my first NCFR conference in 2005 and immediately felt welcomed by the members of the
Feminism and Family Studies (FFS) section. After a few years of attending the conference and the FFS
section meetings, I decided that I would like the opportunity to serve the same community that welcomed
me in hopes of engaging and involving new students and professionals in this incredible network of
scholars." Russell Toomey, SNP representative, Feminism and Family Studies Section
What are some tips for getting involved in the SNP Leadership Council?
"I would highly encourage students and new professionals to attend the business meetings, where they will
meet others with similar interests, and have opportunities that will promote their professional development,
including reviewing proposals and moderating sessions." David Schramm, SNP representative, Education
and Enrichment Section
"Find something that matches your personality! If you are highly social and love meeting new people
become a conference volunteer, get involved with the program committee and newcomers' reception,
moderate workshops and presentation sessions. If you prefer more focused work with a smaller group of
people, get involved with a section and any special projects they have going (e.g. writing articles for the
NCFR Report!)" Amanda Williams, SNP representative, Affiliate Councils Board
"Don't be afraid to start conversations with established scholars in your field of study. In my experience,
they will be happy to discuss their life's work with someone who is genuinely interested in learning." Russell
Toomey, SNP representative, Feminism and Family Studies Section
"Submit a proposal to the SNP section because you will meet other SNP panelists and audience members
that way. Take advantage of the roommate system to meet other SNPs. Talk to people you don't know if
they have the SNP ribbon because chances are, they are friendly and open to networking (you can ask
something as simple as 'Is it your first time at an NCFR conference?' or 'I see you are an SNP, are you
presenting at this year's conference?')." Kelly Campbell, SNP Representative, Ethnic Minorities Section
�What are some of the perks of getting involved in the SNP Leadership
Council?
"I discovered that our section helps pay for part of my expenses for the trip to NCFR. What a perk!" David
Schramm, SNP representative, Education and Enrichment Section
"I have enjoyed learning the 'ins and outs' of what makes an organization like NCFR operate, from budgets
to use of technology and voting on bylaws, and so forth." Kelly Davis, SNP Representative, Family Policy
If you would like more information regarding the SNP Leadership Council, please contact Andrew Behnke
at andrew_behnke@ncsu.edu SNP Board Representative for 20102012. _

Meet your Students and New Professionals
representatives
May 23, 2013
Without a doubt, NCFR is the professional home to some of the most
accomplished students and new professionals in the field. We want to
highlight these accomplishments and feature the amazing work that our
SNPs are doing. If you’d like to be featured in a future report, please
email Lyndal Khaw, SNP board representative.
To start this series, let us introduce members of the current SNP
Steering Committee, including their research interests, advice to SNPs
and acknowlegement of their mentors.
Lyndal Khaw, SNP Board Representative
Current position: Assistant Professor, Montclair State University
Education: Ph.D. in Human Development and Family Studies,
University of Illinois, 2010
My research: I study intimate partner violence (IPV), specifically on the
process of leaving abusive partners among mothers. When I began my graduate career, I noticed that a lot
of the research focused more on why women stay in abusive relationships rather than why and how they
leave. I was intrigued with understanding women's strengths and survivorship from a feminist perspective.
In my dissertation study, I used qualitative methods to understand the relational and structural changes in
family dynamics and decisionmaking as women engaged in the process of leaving.
Currently, in addition to collaborating with my grad school mentor, I am still analyzing and publishing data
from my dissertation study. My interviews yielded tons of rich contextual data! I am interested to explore the
process of leaving in other samples, such as with immigrant women.
Advice for SNPs: Seek mentors in your department, and seek them early in your graduate or professional
careers. Their advice, support, and insights are so invaluable. My mentor is the amazing Dr. Jennifer
Hardesty, and I honestly do not know if I would have survived grad school without her.
Ronald B. Cox, Jr., SNP Program Representative
Current position: Assistant Professor, Oklahoma State University
Education: Ph.D. in Marriage and Family Therapy, Michigan State University, 2007
My research: My research generally focuses on the prevention of highrisk behaviors among adolescents in
Latino families and specifically on the family and environmental processes that shape behavior and on
�translating this research into effective programs. A secondary but related area is how to strengthen causal
inferences from nonexperimental data. There is a widespread misconception in our field that longitudinal
is equal to causal. However, most studies using longitudinal data sets do not have a randomly assigned
control group, which means that their findings are based on correlations. So, I study variables linked to
Latino adolescent highrisk behaviors and the study designs that will lead to stronger causal inferences in
my findings. I became interested in Latino youth because I spent most of my adult life living in South
America, and in highrisk behaviors in youth because I have observed that family and other environmental
variables are linked to multiple negative outcomes in youth.
I am finishing a project that looks at antecedents to high school dropout rates among minority youth. In this
project we surveyed every child in the 7th grade and are following them through their senior year. Based on
some of our initial findings I am currently writing a grant to test a dropout prevention intervention. We are
also looking at crossover effects. That is, how could that intervention affect other areas such as substance
use and teen pregnancy.
Advice for SNPs: Spend a significant portion of your time systematically investigating a field of study, so
that one of your first publications is a conceptual/theoretical review or a metaanalysis of literature. These
publications are often some of the most cited and will build your career at a faster pace than separate
empirical articles. Find a mentor that is where you want to be in the next 10 years and work with that
person. My current mentor is Joe Grzywacz. Joe is an accomplished researcher with numerous NIH grants,
which is what I aspire to become.
Claire Kimberly, SNP Affiliate Councils Board Representative
Current position: Assistant Professor, University of Southern Mississippi
Education: Ph.D. in Family Sciences, University of Kentucky, 2012
My research: My research interest revolves around family communication. In particular, I enjoy looking at
topics that families either do not typically discuss or have difficulty in communicating their opinions about.
Thus my research has included an array of topics such as family finances, sexuality, marital conflict, and
grieving. My path toward doing research was unusual. I originally planned to be a marriage and family
therapist but realized that this was not a good fit for me. I continued with a master’s degree in family
sciences and had the fortunate opportunity to observe faculty members focused on research at the
University of Kentucky. The thrill of having questions and understanding how to answer them shifted my
focus to research. Before graduating from the University of Kentucky, I was honored with the 2012
Graduate Student of Distinction Award. I have also been fortunate to receive a grant from the Foundation
for the Scientific Study of Sexuality on a project entitled “Understanding Sexual SelfDisclosure.”
I have a handful of projects going on right now. My dissertation analyzing the biopsychosocial
characteristics surrounding marital conflict is currently under review. I am also coauthoring a study
examining sexual selfdisclosure that involves interviewing swingers. Other studies include looking at
virginal expectations of sexuality, influence of viewing pornography, and the impact of father’s presence to
later sexual behaviors.
Advice for SNPs: The best advice I have for students is to take up as many opportunities as you can. Do
not be afraid to ask your professors for research or teaching opportunities. Even projects that I initially
considered to be trivial have really helped me in the long run. If it were not for my mentors at the University
of Kentucky, I would not be where I am today. I particularly benefitted from the research expertise and
mentoring of Drs. Jason Hans and Ron WernerWilson.
Ironically, the advice I have for new professionals is to limit what you do. Personally I find that there is a
constant feeling that what I am doing is not enough. Even though working hard is expected, we should not
forget the value of personal and familial health.

My research: My research interests originally stemmed from interest in improving marital quality. I was
interested not just in "satisfied" marriages, but "thriving" marriages. Toward that end my early research
focused on gender role attitudes, emotional intelligence, and Gottman's concept of marital friendship. Since
then my research has diverged, especially as I work with students. For example, one student is leading
intervention to Cameroon, Africa, bringing clean water to villages in need. Another studied young adults
whose parents have divorced and their attitudes towards marriage. (Were those young adults jaded against
marriage or inspired to work harder? It was the latter, by the way). But now I find my interests actually
converging, once again, on marital quality. I see an intersection that I would like to explore between the
emotional domain of marriage and male gender role attitudes (especially those that I see standing on the
other side of the road when we travel to Central America on student service learning trips) and the culture
of consumption that emphasizes valuing material things over human relationships.
I've collected data and journals from students over the last few years before, during, and after the service
learning trips I lead to Mexico, Nicaragua, and now to the Lakota Reservation in South Dakota. Their stories
are fascinating, how these experiences impact them personally. I would like to start compiling and telling
their stories to inspire others to make a difference on a global level and to understand fully the personal
benefits that accrue to those who serve.
Advice for SNPs: A tip on surviving grad school, and you just need to understand this: you “want” your
research to be in line with your major professor’s. To assume that your major professor is going to read up
on dozens of articles outside his or her current field of research/interest just to be able to mentor you is a
tall assumption Do not go AWOL. As idealistic and exciting as that sounds, it means one of two things is
going to happen. Either (a) your work will be rubber stamped, since your prof does not have expertise or
interest in your area, or (b) your advisor will shred your work, perhaps so that you feel you are getting your
money’s worth. Just know that going into it and have realistic expectations and maybe it will help to ease
some of the frustration.
At the risk of sounding trite, I am going to say that my favorite mentor has been my students. If I define a
mentor as someone who helps to open my mind to new possibilities, new ways of looking at things, new
approaches, my students have by far been the most influential in challenging, and inspiring, me to look at
all aspects of the world in new ways. May they keep questioning and pushing the edge of the envelope!

SNP fall 2014 update: Women in academia —
starting a conversation
by Jennifer Doty, SNP Representative, Education and Enrichment Section
September 11, 2014
I’d like to start a conversation about worklife balance for students and new
professionals. We need to look carefully at the ways we hold ourselves
back, and to work to change our environment to make it a more family
friendly place. As family scientists, how can we lead the charge?

�Establishing yourself in the family field:
transitioning from student to professional
by Alisha M. Hardman, CFLE, Student/New Professional Representative,
Education & Enrichment Section
August 31, 2011
The transition from student to new professional may be either a gradual
process or an abrupt change. However, beginning the transition from
student to new professional prior to graduation can be extremely beneficial.
Students who begin the transition to professional early display a strong
commitment to the field and may have distinct advantages following
graduation and as they begin searching for a job.
Growing a Social Network That Works for You
By Marissa Stone, M.S., CFLE Family Science Section S/NP
June 29, 2011
We have all heard about the importance of networking since we attended
our first conference. Our professors remind us to, "Network network,
network!" But what exactly is networking, and how do we maintain
connections created after the annual conference has come and gone?
Looking for a way to get involved within NCFR?
Then getting involved in the Student/New Professional (SNP) Leadership Council is a great place to
start!
