    Two Greensboro College Faculty Honored

    Two exemplary faculty members were honored at the Greensboro College Founders’ Day convocation on Jan. 20.

    In 1992, the Division of Higher Education of the United Methodist Church established the Exemplary Teacher Award to recognize significant contributions of individual faculty members at each of the Methodist colleges and universities across the country.

    This year, Greensboro College bestowed the Exemplary Teacher Award to Assistant Professor of Spanish Edith L. Shepherd.

    The criteria for the award are excellence in teaching; civility and concern for students and colleagues; commitment to value-centered education; and service to students, the institution, the community or church.

    Nominations for this award are made by each of the eight academic divisions of the college, and a committee composed of previous recipients of the award makes the selection.

    Shepherd earned the B.A. degree from Guilford College and the M.Ed. degree from UNCG. She has been with Greensboro College since 1989.
    The college also announced that the Virginia Clarke Gray Award was bestowed on Assistant Professor of English and Communication Studies Sheila J. Nayar.

    Virginia Clarke Backus, a member of the class of 1942, established the Virginia Clarke Gray Award in 1994. This award is intended to recognize an exemplary faculty member from among the junior faculty of the college. Only faculty members who have taught full-time at a college or university for five years or less are eligible for this award.

    The criteria for the award are patterned after those for the United Methodist Church’s Exemplary Teacher Award: excellence in teaching; civility and concern for students and colleagues; commitment to value-centered education; and service to students, the institution, the community or church.

    Nominations for this award are made by each of the eight academic divisions of the college, and the school’s academic council makes the selection.

    Greensboro College Professor Published and Profiled in Major Publications

    Greensboro College Professor of Spanish Mari Pino del Rosario has written entries that have been published in a dictionary of literary biographies, and now her own biography is included in Who's Who Among America's Teachers.

    Who's Who Among America's Teachers was first published in 1990. Beginning in 2004, the volume is published annually, and del Rosario is included in the 8th edition, issued in October 2004.

    Also, Del Rosario wrote the entry on Honduran poet Clementina Suárez (1902-1991) published recently by Bruccoli-Clark Layman in the Dictionary of Literary Biography, Volume 290: Modern Spanish American Poets (Thomson-Gale).

    Del Rosario states that Clementina Suárez's legacy is her perseverance as a nontraditional woman in an age when her behavior was scandalous even in European capitals, much more so in her small Central American country ruled by dictators. Suárez was born into a rich family but learned to struggle along with the poor, and she published, promoted the arts, and lived to the fullest.

    Del Rosario adds that: "Disenfranchised often for various reasons, [Suárez's] pioneering spirit impelled her to cross geographical, gender, class, and cultural borders. Her strength and continuous struggle have inspired other women to assert their right to be nonconformists and to explore their intellectual potential. "

    In February 2004 the dictionary published an entry by del Rosario on Colombian poet León de Greiff (Volume 283).

    Found in every college/university library in the United States, the Dictionary of Literary Biography contains essays outlining the lives and careers of authors from all eras and genres. It summarizes the critical response to their work and provides a list of each author's important writings as well as a bibliography of significant writings about the author.

    With more than 250 volumes published, the dictionary provides reliable biographical and critical information about writers for students, researchers, teachers and reference librarians.

    Del Rosario holds the B.M. degree from the University of Texas at Austin and the Ph.D. degree from Florida State University. She joined Greensboro College in 1990.

    Greensboro College Conducts Stream Watch on College Branch

    Greensboro College Professor of Biology Cal Bond called it a success: "Are you kidding? We hauled in 16 bags of trash PLUS a soggy boom-box, a desk chair and two hubcaps!" he exclaimed.

    Quite a collection. The event Bond referred to was a Nov. 5 stream watch cleanup of College Branch, the stream that Greensboro College has adopted as its own.

    The Greensboro College biology faculty has used the stream for years as a resource for wildlife and other samples in several courses, including ecology, environmental science, natural history and ornithology.

    In 2000, Bond contacted the Water Resources Division of the city of Greensboro to see if the college could take over the stream under the Adopt-A-Stream Program. City staffers looked up the stream on old municipal maps, and to everyone's delight found that the stream was labeled "College Branch." In January 2001, Greensboro College adopted the stream and now patrols it twice a year.

     Students for the Nov. 5 excursion included biology majors as well as a member of the executive bachelor's in business administration program.

    Sponsored by the Greensboro College Department of Natural Sciences and the Biomedical Careers Club, the stream walkers used festive orange trash bags provided by the city's Water Resources Division.

    For more information contact Bond at 272-7102, ext. 353.

    Greensboro College Professor Presents at Chocolate Symposium

    Greensboro College Instructor in History April Najjaj presented a paper at "Chocolate Culture," a symposium sponsored by the Gastronomy Program at Boston University Oct. 24.

    Najjaj worked with Beth Forrest of the Boston University Department of History to coauthor the paper, titled "Is Sipping Sin Breaking Fast? The Catholic Chocolate Controversy."

    The symposium centered on the culture of chocolate: its history, economic and political ramifications, religious significance and uses in the visual arts and literature.

     Chocolate  with its long history of uses including ceremonial rituals for kings and warriors; as a form of currency; as a sign of luxury; as a symbol of mass production and consumption; and as a sign of love and endearment  was included in tastings and in cooking demonstrations at the symposium.

    The event brought together scholars of ethnobotany, history, anthropology and literature, and it served as a reminder that a commodity so seemingly banal has a complicated and intertwined history, one that brings together larger issues of humanity.

    The papers from the conference are being published in the spring in a special edition of a Routledge journal, "Food and Foodways: Explorations in the History and Culture of Human Nourishment."

    Najjaj earned the B.A. and the M.A. degrees from the University of Arkansas, and she is currently completing requirements for the Ph.D. degree from Boston University. She joined Greensboro College in 2004.

    For more information about the symposium, contact Najjaj at 272-7102, ext. 325.

    Greensboro College Presents Colloquium on Sponges in Motion

    Greensboro College Professor of Biology Calhoun Bond Jr. will present the second faculty colloquium of the 2004-2005 academic year from 3-4:30 p.m. on Oct. 29 in Proctor Hall West 109.

    His presentation, titled "Sponges in Motion," is free and open to the public.

    Bond was cited recently in the periodical "Discover." An article titled "Was Your Ancestor a Sea Sponge?" notes that Bond has found that sponges don't just sit still; in fact, according to Bond, many actually move.

    Using time-lapse microscopy, Bond filmed freshwater sponges slowly crawling across the bottom of their containers. He found that larger sponges do the same by extruding flat paddle-like extensions of their bodies and pulling themselves along, often climbing the sides of their glass tanks in labs.

    "Professor Bond's passion for his subject not only has earned him national recognition," said Greensboro College Dean of the Faculty Paul Leslie, "but also means that this colloquium will be both interesting and informative."

    Greensboro College Professor Published in "Film Quarterly"

    Greensboro College Assistant Professor of English and Communication Studies Sheila Nayar has been published in the Spring 2004 edition of "Film Quarterly."
