Faculty/Staff Accomplishments and Departmental News 4/29/20

In this issue we share accomplishments of faculty in religious and ethical studies and theatre as well as information on an #MCStayingStrong project and the Meredith International Association Virtual Fashion Show.

Professor of Religious and Ethical Studies Shannon Grimes will deliver the 2020-21 Faculty Distinguished Lecture. Provost Matthew Poslusny announced this honor for Grimes earlier this month.

Professor of Theatre Catherine Rodgers and Professor of Theatre Steven Roten attended a Zoom meeting with theatre educators from all over the United States on April 24.  Sponsored by the New York Theatre Workshop, the discussion “Teaching Theatre Online” featured four panelists from K-12 to graduate school programs. The session provided participants with a list of resources and materials that will allow programs to continue to move forward using distance learning.

#MCStayingStrong
The Marketing Department would like to feature faculty in our #MCStayingStrong series on social media.

This series has been used to strengthen Meredith community during distance learning, and we would like to celebrate faculty.
