curriculum.

Using a health coaching framework, the nurse provides client care that integrates science, such as use

of evidence, research, and tools with art, such as self-awareness, presence, and creativity (Dossey,

2013). The practice of nurse coaching is grounded in the following tenets, as outlined by Dossey

(2013):

1. Care that is client-centered, culturally sensitive, and individualized

2. Coaching relationship, promoting client empowerment and partnership

3. Human caring as a moral ideal

4. Process-oriented, evidence-based care

5. Holism

Seventy percent of deaths in our country are due to chronic diseases (Raghupathi & Raghupathi,

2018). The onset of chronic diseases, such as heart disease, Alzheimer’s, type 2 diabetes, and cancer

is heavily influenced by lifestyle and environmental factors, such as poor nutrition, lack of physical

activity, and substance use (CDC, 2020). In fact, it is estimated that 80% of chronic diseases are

caused by lifestyle and environmental factors (Hyman, Ornish, & Roizen, 2009). Yet, less than 3% of

national spending on healthcare goes toward prevention of these factors (Himmelstein &

Woolhandler, 2016). Pair those statistics with the fact that lifestyle intervention is known to be more

effective in reducing cardiovascular disease, hypertension, heart failure, stroke, cancer, and diabetes

than any other medical intervention, and the need for leaders in system change is apparent (American

College of Lifestyle Medicine, 2019). Nurses, with their education and client-centered way of

approaching health care, are well-positioned to be leaders in this field, supporting clients with lifestyle

Indicate universities that currently offer the common course:

Section 1. Existing Course Title and Description Prefix & No. Course Title Credits

PHYS 187 Introduction to Astronomy II 2-3

PHYS 187L Introduction to Astronomy II Lab 0-1

PHYS 187 Course Description

This course is a descriptive course that introduces stellar astronomy. Emphasis will be placed on

stars, nebulae, galaxies, and cosmology.

PHYS 187L Course Description

Lab component of PHYS 187.

Section 2. Modification(s) Requested 2.1. This modification will include:

PHYS 187

☒ Course Title change from Introduction to Astronomy II to Stars, Galaxies, and Cosmology

PHYS 187L

☒ Course Title change from Introduction to Astronomy II Lab to Stars, Galaxies, and Cosmology Lab

**Note – PHYS 187-187L is included on the SGR #6 approved course list. A clerical revision will be needed

to update the course title.

Effective term of the change: Fall 2021

2.2. Add justification for all changes noted above:

Proposed course title is more descriptive of the course content and is consistent with what is found at other

universities. Current title is confusing since PHYS 185/185L and PHYS 187/187L are not sequential courses.

Subject: Course name change agreement


Dear Colleagues:

After much discussion amongst us, we have agreed to the following course name changes. Please respond to this message to indicate

your approval of these changes.

PHYS 185-Solar System Astronomy

PHYS 185L-Solar System Astronomy Laboratory

PHYS 187-Stars, Galaxies, and Cosmology

PHYS 187L-Stars, Galaxies, and Cosmology Laboratory

Further, we (USD, DSU, BHSU, and SDSU) should each try to submit a Minor Course Modification to our respective Academic

Affairs Offices, let's say by Monday morning, so they should be received by BOR at roughly the same time and be processed together.

Dr. Murphy,

Thanks for reaching out. This all looks fine to me. As you noted on the form, I did have an email exchange with

Trudy on 12/7 regarding these changes and SDSU’s request for authority to offer the courses. This has been

discussed with the appropriate faculty and we have no concern.

Thank you,

Subject: [EXT] Authority to Offer HIST 319 & additional changes - request

Dear Drs. Siewert and Romkema, I hope you enjoyed at least a few off this season.

Daluss, last AY I wrote to let you know that we would like to pursue some changes to the Environmental History

courses. If you recall, I mentioned one of our historians is in fact an Environmental historian, Dr. Dale Potts. Dale

has been with us since 2010, I think. Last year the BOR approved the change to HIST 409 Environmental History of

the US. Part of this move to the 400 level was so some of our graduate level Geography majors could also take this

as a 500 level. In the process, I asked if you objected to us requesting authority to offer HIST 319 World

Environmental History, and that we would like to pursue changing it to a HIST 419 designation. Since we did not

get this request ready in time last year, I’m writing to renew this request.

Pursuant to that, would you object to SDSU seeking authority to offer 319 World Environmental History AND

changing its designation to HIST 419 World Env. History? Doing so would finalize a HIST 409/509 Env. Hist of the

US and HIST 419 World Env. History sequence in the system.

We are trying to complete this within a single form, so please look over the attached proposal and let us know if you

would approve or object. If no objections, I will update your approval at the end of the form.

Best,

A. James Murphy, Ph.D.
