Welcome to our LHU 2017 Celebration of Scholarship!

It is with immense pride and happiness that I welcome the university and local communities to our LHU 2017 Celebration of Scholarship. We are pleased to have a truly rich program, representing the many different disciplines of our institution, which should prove to be a unique intellectual, artistic and cultural banquet for all attending. With less than a handful of months to build our event, following the example of my own scholarly literary passion found in the study of Don Quixote, I assumed the responsibility of coordinating this year’s COS as my most recent quixotic enterprise. Fortunately, unlike the case of that beloved character, I have happily encountered full support at each door I have knocked on. Learning about and organizing this COS 2017 has been genuinely enjoyable, and I am sure it will be a most enriching experience to all participants. I must express my sincere gratitude to our LHU President, Michael Fiorentino; our Provost, Dr. Donna Wilson; and our Deans, Dr. Susan Rimby, Dr. Stephen Neun, and Dr. Scott A. Carnicon, for their invaluable support and cooperation with making this event a reality. Many thanks are also extended to all those involved, who have provided guidance, ideas and good will. I would also like to offer my sincere thanks to Jeff Walker, for his support with my technological challenges and to Jamie C. Kelly for her amiability and full cooperation with printing our program. Two of our LHU students deserve special recognition for their roles in this year event: Ms. Savanna Wolfe, for creating the wonderful cover design of this program, and Ms. Brittney Zeller, our COS student assistant, whose enthusiasm and invaluable know-how have been fundamental in putting our event together. Certainly, our 2017 COS would not have come to fruition without the participation of professors and students willing to share their research, abilities, and creative works. My most effusive accolades go to all presenters and event sponsors, as they are the backbone of this scholarly experience. As we enter into our celebration, allow me to share one of Seneca’s maxims: “nemo nascitur sapiens, sed fit,” which was paraphrased as “nobody is born knowing, and bishops are made from men” in Cervantes’ Don Quixote, (II, 33). It is my hope that these words, coined by one of the greatest minds, inspire our students to persevere in their research and creative activities as the true way to improve and accomplish their aspirations. Additionally, for us as professors, it reminds us that we are the academic mentors of this institution, called to exemplify and foster the intellectual, creative, and artistic development of our students. What better occasion than this Celebration of Scholarship to launch together a display of the many talents of our LHU students and faculty. It is my sincere hope that the 2017 Celebration of Scholarship serves as a catalyst to reach our soaring expectations of the future.
