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

Dr. Paul Johstono’s History of Greek

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.

be one of the most influential mayors in

American history,” said Cadet Wilson

transport former Liberian president

Charles Taylor to the Special Court for

Sierra Leone.

In March, Dr. Mays conducted re-

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-

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.
