Dear Conference Participants:

On behalf of the Kent State University community, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to our Kent Campus and to our 14th annual “Celebrating College Teaching” conference. With thought- provoking keynote speeches, round tables, breakout sessions that always spark lively discussions, and the great tradition of the Distinguished Teaching Awards and Outstanding Teaching Awards cer- emonies, this annual gathering is designed to be edifying and enjoyable no matter where you are on your academic career path.

It is very fitting that Kent State hosts this forum for sharing insights, ideas and inspiration about the scholarship of teaching. The university started as a teacher-training school in 1910 and has built a strong tradition of fostering excellence and innovation in college instruction. Although we have evolved into a major American university — one that is ranked among the nation’s 77 public research universities demonstrating a high level of research activity by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching — Kent State has retained its commitment to leadership in advancing teaching at all levels. From our University Teaching Council to our Faculty Professional Development Center to our Research Center for Educational Technology, Kent State provides faculty in every discipline with multiple opportunities to explore the art of teaching and to develop skills fit for the 21st century.

As you join our multitalented faculty and staff, I encourage you to participate fully in the day’s array of activities. I am confident that you will come away with many new reasons to celebrate teaching.

Sincerely,

Lester A. Lefton President HISTORY OF THE CONFERENCE CELEBRATING COLLEGE TEACHING

In 1992, Kent State University’s Collective Bargaining agreement developed provisions for the support of teaching. Those provisions ultimately led to the establishment of the University Teaching Council (UTC). A contractually initiated committee to study faculty professional development (Faculty Professional Development Study Committee) wrote the enabling legislation for the UTC and guided it through the Faculty Senate. That study committee was composed of six people (two Faculty Senate representatives: Dr. Mary Lou Holly; Dr. Jerry M. Lewis; two administrators: Dr. Larry Andrews and Thomas J. Barber; and two association members: Dr. Stephane Booth and Dr. Michael Lee). The enabling legislation for the University Teaching Council was modeled on the structure of the University Research Council (URC). Parity with the URC in the form of financial support was sought, and, although not obtained, provisions for additional kinds of grants (for travel, for learning and summer teaching projects among others) were designed. These included provisions for curriculum development as a key area for support as it relates to teaching and an annual conference to help build a community the scholarship of teaching. Thus, the Celebrating College Teaching Conference was designed to identify, recognize, promote and celebrate the many positive teaching- related activities going on at Kent State. Dr. Rick Vardaris, psychology, chaired the Conference Committee for the first three years, stepping down in 1995. Lewis chaired from October 1995 to July 1996 and then stepped down when he formally retired. Steve Zapytowski, theatre, served as chair from 1996 to 2000. Dr. Bruce Friesen, sociology, Stark Campus, served from 2001to 2004; in 2005, Dr. Kimberly Peer, exercise, leisure and sport, assumed the chairship The Conference initially involved committee members meeting with a keynote speaker on Saturday morning, but this was soon curtailed for pragmatic reasons. However, some significant components were added as the Conference matured. These included linking the conference to the Thursday night Read Lecture and awarding the Distinguished Teaching Awards (full-time faculty) and the Outstanding Teaching Awards (full and part-time non-tenure track faculty) at the Conference as of 1995. Campus Conversations – a chance for colleagues from different disciplines and campuses to actively talk together about teaching – was added in 1999, as was a reception for new faculty as a means to introduce them into a campus culture which values teaching. Graduate’s Applause was added at the 2000 Conference. In 2001, the Read Foundation brought in a Friday morning keynote speaker instead of having a separate event on Thursday evening. The Provost’s Office inaugurated the Thursday night Provost’s Emeriti Lecture in 2002. Celebrating good teaching continues as the major thrust of the Conference which will celebrate its 15th anniversary in 2008.

3 READ DISTINGUISHED LECTURE Oct. 30, 2008 • Kiva, 7 p.m.

Prince Cedza Dlamini, founder of the Institute for Young Social Entrepreneurs, will present the Read Distinguished lecture titled, “The Millennium Development Goals.”

Cedza Dlamini is an impassioned humanitarian, social entrepre- neur and visionary. His vision is to create a unified global order by establishing global networks of young leaders working collective- ly to address world problems, such as HIV/AIDS, poverty, hunger and illiteracy. He travels the world helping young people realize two things: their connectedness to one another and their power to change their surroundings.

In 2005, Dlamini founded the Ubuntu Institute for Young Social Entrepreneurs, which provides young African leaders with the leadership and professional skills they need in their communities to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the UN’s eight-point strategy for eradicat- ing poverty, hunger and disease in Africa and around the world within the next two decades. He addresses audiences of all ages, but especially youth, on how to get involved in the fight against poverty, HIV/AIDS and illiteracy.

As co-chair for the World Youth Peace Summit in Africa, Dlamini assembles youth leaders from across the globe to find peaceful methods to resolve global conflict. He also serves on the strategic development team of the Global Action Youth Network in New York, an international collaboration of youth and youth-serving organizations in almost 200 countries facilitating intergenerational part- nership in global decision-making.

Drawing on the African concept of Ubuntu and its values of respect, integrity and tolerance of others, Dlamini travels the world, talking to at-risk-youth and promoting global forgiveness, compas- sion and the use of dialogue — instead of violence — as a powerful tool for conflict resolution. He teaches people about the possibility of living in a world free of violence, hatred and global divisions — a world based on a greater understanding and interconnectedness.

Dlamini’s strong sense of community and unique value set stem from his rich lineage: He is the descendent of freedom fighters King Sobhuza II, who fought for the independence of Swaziland, and Nelson Mandela (his grandfather), who triumphed over apartheid. In the 1990s Dlamini worked at various organizations, aiding in providing mobile clinics that brought medicine and healthcare to poor rural areas of South Africa. As co-founder of America Reads/South Africa Reads, he collected more than 100,000 books for libraries serving rural schools.

4 EMERITI ROUND TABLE Oct. 31, 2008 • Ballroom, 10:45-11:45 a.m.

Larry R. Andrews, professor emeritus of English and dean emeritus of the Honors College, will present the 3rd annual Emeriti Round Table titled, “Using Whimsy to Engage Your Students.” Dr. Andrews joined Kent State University in 1969. Andrews directed Kent State’s Volgograd Exchange Program and was a visiting exchange professor at both Volgograd State University, Russia, and the University of Warsaw, Poland.

Prior to joining the Kent State faculty, Andrews taught in the Department of English at the University of South Carolina. He received his B.A. in English from Ohio State University and his Ph.D. in comparative literature from Rutgers University.

Dedicated to continued research in his field, Andrews has published numerous essays, the most recent of which appear in the Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council. With an extensive knowledge of French, German and Russian, he also translates, most notably for the Russian Literature Triquarterly. In addition, he has reviewed textbook manuscripts, written book reviews and handbooks, served as an editor and presented conference papers both in the United States and abroad on comparative literature, African-American literature and black women writers.

Andrews’ distinguished academic involvement has been honored on numerous occasions. He received the Outstanding Teaching in the Humanities award in 1972 and the Honorable Mention in 1974. In 1989 he was recognized by Mortar Board and received the Cultural Diversity Award for Creative Contribution from Phi Beta Delta in 1993. Andrews was inducted into Alpha Lambda Delta in 1994 and into the Golden Key Honor Society in 1995.

An integral part of the university, Andrews has served on countless committees including the Academic Administrative Council, the University Requirements Curriculum Committee and the Multidisciplinary Advisory Board. He continues his involvement as a member of the College Language Association, Phi Beta Kappa, the National Collegiate Honors Council and the Mideast Honors Association.

5 GLENN W. FRANK LECTURE Oct. 31, 2008 • Ballroom, Noon

Sandra L. Eaglen, lecturer with the Department of English at Kent State Salem, will present the Glenn W. Frank Lecture titled, “Theatre: Building Community.”

Eaglen joined Kent State University in 1983. Currently a lecturer in the Department of English at Kent State’s Salem campus, she has taught courses and independent studies in English, speech and theatre at the East Liverpool, Geauga, Salem and Kent campuses.

Prior to joining the Kent State faculty, Eaglen taught at Madison High School, Madison, Ohio; the School of Fine Arts, Willoughby, Ohio; and Lakeland Community College, Kirtland, Ohio. She also worked in the drama department at Roosevelt High School, Kent, Ohio, and served as company manager of Porthouse Theatre. Eaglen received her A.A. from Lakeland Community College, her B.A. from Lake Erie College and her M.A. in theatre and English from Kent State University.

Intensely involved in the Department of Theatre, Eaglen has produced, directed and designed per- formances at Kent State’s Salem, Geauga and Kent campuses. Her most recent productions include Tales From Romania, Kent Campus, 2005 and The Odd Couple, Salem Campus, 2003. Eaglen has also written many of her own pieces. She completed an original play, Women of Ohio, We Call Upon You, for the Salem Campus’s Women’s Conference in 2000.

Eaglen has been invited to share her expertise at multiple arts, theatre and leadership conferences. In addition to serving on multiple university faculty committees, she has organized several student theatre trips to New York and advised student theatre productions. She has served also as a theatre consultant and authored Theatre Studies, a theatre book review.

Eaglen has been recognized on numerous occasions for her dedication to her directing and teaching careers. She was awarded the Outstanding Teaching Award for Term Faculty in 1996 and the Dean’s Outstanding Service Award in both 1998 and 1999. She was also chosen as a faculty delegate to participate in a Chinese cultural exchange in 2002.
