Faculty/Staff Accomplishments and Departmental News 3/26

In this issue we celebrate the accomplishments of faculty in art, education, and music. We also share departmental news from Athletics and promote a continuing education literature course.

Associate Professor of Education Tisha Duncan had a manuscript published by the International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education titled Shifting Schemas: Perspectives and Practice in a Learner-Centered Course. The article was co-authored with a former student, Rachel Redwine, ’16.

In addition, Professor of Education Cece Toole and Duncan were honored at the North Carolina Association of Middle Level Educators Conference held March 3-5, 2019 in Greensboro, N.C. Toole and Duncan each received the Higher Education Professional to Watch Award for their sustained professional development collaboration with Rogers-Herr Middle School.

Professor of English Laura Fine’s article, “Atticus Revised: Race, Gender, and Sexuality in Go Set a Watchman and To Kill a Mockingbird,” will be published in a forthcoming book Mockingbird Grows Up: Re-Reading Harper Lee Since Watchman. Cheli Reutter and Jonathan S. Cullick are the editors of the book, which is being published by the University of Tennessee Press.

Associate Professor Woody Holliman has developed a typography trivia game called Just My Type that includes questions on the anatomy, nomenclature, history, categories, and best practices of professional typography. Starting in April, members of the Raleigh chapter of AIGA (American Institute of Graphic Arts) will be putting their design knowledge to the test as they compete for the coveted Golden Ampersand Award for excellence in typography. Holliman is also planning to showcase his new game at this year’s SECAC Conference for Art and Design Educators.

Director of Instrumental Activities Jim Waddelow served as the head adjudicator for the Virginia District 2 Virginia Band and Orchestra Director Association Performance Assessment. He rated and gave feedback to 49 school orchestra programs from February 28-March 2.
