  • Fall 2019/Winter 2020
    Vol 16, No 2 - Fall/Winter 2019/2020 http://www.biol.vt.edu The Department of Biological Sciences is at the center of life sciences research and teaching at Virginia Tech. Our mission is to seamlessly integrate world-class research addressing the grand challenges of the 21st century, from global change to human disease, with preparation of the next generation of scientists. Happy New Year, alumni, friends and colleagues! Since I last wrote, the Department of Biological Sciences has experienced remarkable growth and change. This fall semester, we welcomed over 500 freshman majors, an increase of nearly 100 over last year. Fortunately, renovations to expand and modernize our teaching labs were completed just in time to accommodate the on rush of new students. These renovations also provided much needed gathering spaces for our students and upgraded several research labs as well as faculty and graduate student offices. Speaking of renovations!… On the left, an early photo of an on-campus biology lab in 1888, located in the Second Academic Building (which was demolished 1957). On the right, a recent photo of one of the updated teaching labs in Derring Hall We also have a number of new faces among our faculty. In addition to Jeremy Draghi and Bryan Hsu, who were mentioned in the Spring newsletter, Joe Hoyt has recently been named an assistant professor in the Department. Joe is a disease ecologist focused on understanding the spread of white nose disease in bats and how resistance emerges in some populations, which has far-reaching relevance to other infectious diseases.

Maddox ___________________________ Thomas A. Tweed ___________________________ Timothy B. Tyson An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate Program in Religion in the Graduate School of Duke University 2014 Copyright by Mandy Ellene McMichael 2014 Abstract Christian engagement with beauty contests shifted dramatically between the initial Miss America pageant in 1921 and its 90 th anniversary in 2011. This dissertation explores how and why many Christians found the organization an institution worthy of partnership with the church. It examines three aspects of Christian involvement in the contest: the long history of beauty pageants, the persistent emphasis on individual physical attractiveness, and the idea of witness in southern evangelical culture. It argues that after 1965, at least two factors enabled the unlikely marriage of Christians and the Miss America Organization: the perceived threat of second-wave feminism and evangelicalism’s increasing desire to engage culture.
