  • Patricia Hayes Andrews
    Patricia Hayes Andrews Young scholars hoping to shape a career with a far-reaching and long-lasting legacy would do well to emulate the academic life of Patricia Hayes Andrews. Her research into gender differences in communication, her many accomplishments as an associate dean in the College of Arts and Sciences, and her leadership as director of the Preparing Future Faculty (PFF) program in the Department of Communication and Culture all have been framed and motivated by her generous spirit and genuine interest in supporting IU, her students, and her colleagues. Pat is a Hoosier through and through, earning all of her degrees from IU and spending her entire academic career here. Her B.A., summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa, in speech and theater with a minor in French, was awarded in 1970; her M.A. in communication theory and speech education in 1971; and her Ph.D. in communication theory and research in 1974. In 1975 she joined the Department of Speech Communication (now the Department of Communication and Culture) as an assistant professor. In addition to her many published articles, Pat has authored or co-authored five textbooksseveral of which have been revised and published in multiple editions. Not only the field, but also the Department of Communication and Culture bears her impress, and this is partly through the new courses Pat developed. An undergraduate sequence in organizational communication addressed an area of interest among students that otherwise was not being served. A graduate course in pedagogy, designed to train and support associate instructors teaching undergraduate courses within the department, has provided a forum in which graduate students share their teaching experiences and strategies and an opportunity for them to draw upon Pats extensive research and experience in communication pedagogy.

  • Fanfare Interview and Reviews 2021
    ! This article originally appeared in Issue 44:4 (Mar/Apr 2021) of Fanfare Magazine. Feature Article by David DeBoor Canfield A New Version of Pictures at an Exhibition with Conductor Levon Ambartsumian Formerly Professor of Violin at the Moscow Conservatory, Levon Ambartsumian founded the ARCO Chamber Orchestra in Moscow in 1989. However, upon coming to the United States, the violinist-conductor gained a position at the University of Georgia’s Hodgson School of Music, and refurbished ARCO at that institution, bringing over from Russia five of its most important members to assist him. Ambartsumian was quite thoroughly interviewed regarding his development as a violinist and conductor, and on his impressions of various schools of violin playing, in the fascinating interviews done by my colleague Jerry Dubins in 43:1 and 42:3, so in the interview below, conducted in November of 2020, I attempted to explore facets of this versatile musician’s career and work not already covered. First of all, I’d like to explore your tenure at the Jacobs School of Music in Bloomington, an institution that happens to be my own alma mater. Could you tell us anything about your experiences here? I came to Indiana University in the fall of 1993 to fill in for an ailing Joseph Gingold. After one academic year Mr. Gingold seemed to have recovered and returned to teaching, but in the following academic year, another IU Professor of Violin, Nelli Shkolnikova, asked me to replace her while she went on sabbatical. After that, I left the U.S. for a few months in 1995 but then received three invitations from the universities of Kansas, Houston, and Georgia.
