Dear Alumni and Friends,
We’ve just completed another produc-
tive academic year. This spring, the
School of Humanities & Social Sciences
sponsored public programs with Pulitz-
er Prize winning author, David
McCullough, the 19th Symposium on
Southern Politics, nationally renowned
among political science scholars, and a
panel on race relations attended by the
Corps as part of the Leadership Day
activities, that included panelists: for-
mer Mayor Joseph P. Riley, Jr., and
Chief of the Charleston Police Depart-
ment, Greg Mullen, among others.
At Commencement, both the faculty
and student recipients of this year’s
Algernon Sydney Sullivan Awards
(Tiffany Silverman, Director of Fine
Arts and Cadet Louis Boyd, Criminal
Justice major, respectively) came from
the SHSS—as did this year’s winner of
the Grimsley Award for Excellence in
Undergraduate Teaching, Melanie
Maddox of the History department
(the 13th of our faculty members to
be so recognized in the last 14 years).
Our faculty have also made some
major accomplishments including
Professor of History, David Preston,
winning what many consider to be
military history's most esteemed
award, Guggenheim-Lehrman prize,
for his recent book, Braddock's De-
feat, Psychology Professor, Dr. Chip
Taylor received a 2016-2017 Fulbright,
and Visiting Professor in Political Sci-
ence, Mallory Factor was knighted.
Also, as we’ve mentioned in a past
newsletter, plans for a new Capers Hall
are well underway. There is a lot of new
information to share about some of the
special features, one of which will be an
“American Atrium” in the southern
portico to the building. Draped longitu-
dinally in the two-story window above
its entrance will be the flag of the Unit-
ed States of America. It will be the pri-
mary visual image that greets all who
pass through the main gates into cam-
pus. Immediately inside will be perma-
nent displays that showcase the nation’s
most enduring ideals. Around them will
be rotating digital exhibits that illus-
trate the extent to which those ideals
have shaped the American experience
and its place in the world’s affairs. Exits
from the atrium will lead to modern

History Department In the Classroom
Dr. Paul Johstono’s History of Greek
and Roman Warfare course used a kinetic
learning module and the arts to extend
student engagement with warfare in the
ancient world. Students researched the
way of war practiced by different states in
different times, and received their own
Greek or Roman shield to paint with patri-
otic, culturally-significant, or historically
faithful symbols. They then used the
shields in field exercises that explore
Greek and Roman formations, maneuvers,
and combat to test scholarly theories
about ancient warfare with shields and
swords in their hands.

Citadel just two hours after his last day in
office ready and eager to begin the next
chapter of his life. Riley, Class of 1964, is

Cadets are buzzing about having a nation-
ally-renowned politician and alumnus on
campus and enjoy running into him in the
halls. “Mayor Riley is widely considered to
be one of the most influential mayors in
American history,” said Cadet Wilson
Hope, political science major. “The entire
Corps is excited to have such a well-known
and respected leader on campus.”
Just this semester alone, he scheduled

Dr. Terry Mays participated in an interna-

future peacekeeping planning should be
organized for the West African sub-
region. Dr. Mays, the only American
peacekeeping specialist in attendance, led
a discussion on impartiality issues associ-
ated with utilizing United Nations
peacekeepers to apprehend and
transport former Liberian president
Charles Taylor to the Special Court for
Sierra Leone.
In March, Dr. Mays conducted re-
search at the British National Archives
located in the small town of Kew out-
side London. His research concentrat-
ed on the British reaction to the Cuban
Missile Crisis. British documents
indicated a disappointment and frus-
tration that the United States did not
consult with them early in the Crisis as
well as the upgrading of the British
nuclear force to deter a possible Soviet
military strike against Europe in retal-
iation for any American military ac-
tion against Cuba or the Soviet bases
in Cuba. Future research will expand
the research to include the opinion
and reaction of independent Anglo-
phone African countries to the Cuban
Missile Crisis.

Graduate Students earn Grants
in Class
For teachers enrolled in Young Adult
Literature this semester, class involved
more than reading lots of young adult
books in different genres and different
formats; the final exam required them to
write a grant for a classroom library.
Before the semester was even over, two
of the teachers had already had their
proposals funded.
Young Adult Literature is one of the Eng-
lish Department’s professional develop-
ment classes offered through the Low-
country Writing Project, a local affiliate of the
National Writing Project. Classes generally
focus on both theoretical foundations and
practical strategies for using reading and
writing in K-12 classrooms, and as these
teachers discovered, those theoretical founda-
tions can turn into bookshelves filled with
books. Because the class stressed the im-
portance of having a variety of high-interest
books available for students in the classroom,
the final exam was to “write a proposal for a
grant of at least $500 with which to create a
new classroom library or enhance an existing
classroom library.”
Tiffany Wagner, who teaches at St John’s
High School, posted a proposal to do-
norschoose.com, requesting $688 for display-
style bookshelves and books. As she explained
in the request, “I have students reading every
day and asking for more time to read in every
class. They are going through more books
than I can put in front of them. Because I am
only a third year teacher, I have a limited
classroom library and resources to purchase
new books. Many of the books that I do have
are older and out of touch with my students.
My students need new books that are current
and that they can relate to.” In less than a
week, her project was fully funded.
Karen Urbanic, who teaches at North-
woods Middle School, decided to use the
final exam to “go big.” Because many of her
students have few or even no books at
home, she wrote a proposal for a Tan-
gerKIDS grant for $4,064 so she could
provide a new book every nine weeks for
each of her students. Students would read
the books for class, then get to take the
books home to keep at the end of the year.
As Karen explained in her proposal, “Many
of my students come to school every day
with no pencil or paper; I can supply both
all year long for these students, but I can-
not afford to buy books for all of my stu-
dents. Being awarded this grant would
allow me to put four books in their hands
to take home and call their own. My hope
is that having ownership of a book will
encourage them to read more and talk to
others about that book which will in turn
create a life-long reader.” Karen’s grant
was funded before final grades for the
semester were due.
Other class members are still awaiting
news concerning their proposals, but as
Tiffany and Karen already know, profes-
sional development can sometimes “pay
off” in concrete ways.
